Nice find!

Looks a little taller, or maybe the angle...
Love the silver boots too, just like the vinty one, heh

the auction description said the legs were different lengths. but no mention of the ratios.

Sith, your right-just found a comparison shot! different guns too.

on yahoo there are currently 3 walrusmen, 4 hans and 1 snaggletooth.

think blue snags gonna be rare!

WOO HOO!

That is just so cool...they varied the heights, as well as got the silver vintage-style boots. Way way cool in my book.

Very cool!
Too bad none of the auctions on eBay or Yahoo have listed ratios, but I`m sure we`ll
know soon enough (maybe Simon will have his soon?!)

I thought the guns were different, but they're not... the different angle made the gun look solid. The guns are the one thing that piss me off about kubricks. why not make them out of a more rigid plastic? my white sandtrooper must be feeling pretty impotent with his droopy gun.

i think picking these up kinda early might be smart. secondary marcket could push the chases out of sight. so far just the han has been up, and one went for $34.99 plus shipping.

A few posts back I pasted a post from Slave1.jp forums that looked like they could
be the ratios.
Yoda-2
Leia-2
Luke-2
Snag-1
Gunner-3
Akbar-1

Characterwise, this would be a good breakdown, but being that there is a blue snag,
I`m not sure if they would do that with a 1:12 figures

I just went to that site with the pic of the two Snaggy's togther "Instinctoy" and they mention a ratio of:

Yoda (2/12).
Jedi Luke (4/12).
Slave Leia (1/12).
Ackbar (1/12).
DS Gunner (4/12).
Snaggletooth (1/12).

Nothing thus far on the ratios of the chase figures.

well so much for getting a blue snag. if they are 1 to 12 it will be tuff to get one.

DSJ™ · « **Reply #1523 on:** November 25, 2005, 07:47 PM »

I'm guessing the Blue Snaggy is the main chase figure and Walrusman and Han Endor are like the chase Stormtroopers.

Looks like Blue Snaggy is a given in the Master Case as well as the other 2 then again Walrusman and Han Endor might be split. I'm just guessing here. $:-\$

Simon indicated to me last night that the Han and Walrusman might not be both in a master case. He wasn't sure and he didn't say why, but I thought I'd make you all nervous anyway.

DSJ™ · « **Reply #1525 on:** November 25, 2005, 08:14 PM »

Doesn't make me nervous, it's the Medicom way and to be expected splitting up 2 chase figures unless someday in the future they surprise us.

Thing is tho do we get 1 or 2 Walrusman or Endor Han ala Han/Luke Stormtrooper.

Morgbug · « **Reply #1526 on:** November 25, 2005, 08:37 PM »

Yeah, series 4 really messed with expectations of what would be in a box/case, didn't it? While at times it's aggravating, it's part of why I enjoy the Kubrick's so much - you're never quite sure what's coming along. I am truly impressed we had to wait until the day of release to find out for sure what the chase figures were. I can't thing of another company that controls things that closely (cough*McFarlane*cough).

JesseVader08 · « **Reply #1527 on:** November 25, 2005, 08:58 PM »

This is the first time I've purchased a master case, so I'm not sure how I'll react to finding or not finding the chases. Obviously, I'd be happiest if I lucked out and got all 3, but after seeing how Series 4 worked out, I'm certainly not expecting it. We'll see, I guess.

It's amazing actually. All it takes is one leak and the world knows about it, so to keep things this tightly under wraps is pretty cool. It definitely helps build excitement.

I really hope it doesn't work like series 4 did. Although it probably will. I would love to see the tougher chase stay at a 1:48 ratio, but the easier chases be somthing better than 2:48.

Hmmmm, I have not seen a Blue Snaggletooth on eBay thus far and the same with Walrusman. More Endor Han's than them, Vince Carter has 2 auctions for Han and both for 3 each.

I wonder if Han is packed like the Hibernation Sickness Han Solo (3:48) and Blue Snag and Walrusman are (1:96), like Series 3.

Thoughts? $:-\$
