TFA 3.75" Class I "Small" Vehicle Sets
« on: August 14, 2015, 09:53 AM »
Looks like the "Class I" vehicle concept is back with some very familiar looking choices.  Check out these eBay auctions for pics!

How are they supposed to sit on these things? Are these figures SA or something? T-crotch? Ball jointed hips?

The figures look a bit pre-posed.  Remember the BARC speeder with BARC Trooper from the ROTS line?  I'm thinking these figures might be similarly articulated to that figure.

In the back of the box shot for the Assault Walker, you can see the Stormtrooper SGT is standing up, so he's still a 5POA figure.

For the Speeder Bike Stormie, it's hard to tell, but the back of the box shot sure makes it look like there are probably knee joints in addition to the standard 5POA.

I took a close look and it may be there is a slight bend to the knees of the speeder bike stormtrooper. Unfortuantely, to me it looks like no extra articulation. I still may buy these for the vehicles

Looks like the stormtrooper just stands in the assualt walker, but I agree with Jeff - looks like potential for knee articulation in the bike trooper.

Noticed the Speederbike has that "Forest" aurabesh log and tree image on it.  Assuming this is something that plays out in the movie?  Sure seem to be pushing that with the toys at least.

Also noticing on closer inspection the reused parts from previous sculpts.

Yeah, the "Armor Up" figures seem to be broken up into the Forest/Space/Snow/Desert groups like the basic figures for whatever reason.  Maybe kids are too dumb these days so they have to flat out tell them "these toys go together" or something?  :P

If the speeder bikes are in the movie, it'll be interesting to see if the hand grips are in same the position on the toy (vertical.) Having trouble with Hasbro going back to 1980's toy design.  :P

Opened the bike and walker up tonight.  Really nice knee joints on the Speeder Bike Trooper..  too bad all the 5POA didn't get them. :P

Think I like the Walker a bit better than the bike.  Looking forward to the EE Desert version.  I'd probably buy more of these if they repainted them into different colors.
