Got my Tarkin cases too, nice overall.
-Tarkin is better in hand than the pics on the web, I was worried but I really like him. I do wish the green was toned down a notch. The mouse Droid is really great and should be the standard Imp Officer accessory.
- Nikto really steals the spotlight for the wave. By far the best figure of the bunch. Very well executed, a must have.
Shae is nice but the unmasked head is really ugly. The figure looks better with the helmet head.
Starkiller is a nice figure with a ton of gear but I am really bored of the guy. He has had more than enough figures and I do not want to see him ever again. It's hard to get excited about him due to overkill. This is the best version of him but I really always like the Light side figure the best of all of the ones out there.
Oddball - A huge waste of tooling that could have went to more deserving figure to upgrade. They tooled up a new head, helmet (very nice), calves and ankles. Even the blaster looks updated again. They cheaped out on some deco detail on the chest area, they did not paint the grey like before. The grey color is very light compared to the other pilots so he does not match up. He looks...Odd.
No one was clamoring for this guy, it makes me question why they bothered to tool new parts for him. I can understand a staright redeco but seeing this makes me wonder why not upgrade a better character like Garindan (Upgrade arms and legs). i would love him on a Vintage card.
I also got the upgraded Barriss with better face deco and more solid blue saber in case. The case breakdown was nice but why repack Bom Vidam for the 3rd time and not the INC???
