I'm definitely liking the incremental improvements... They're doing skirt bits, and that alone is a vast improvement over the molded-on bits that look like hell (and are the only thing that, IMO, looks "vintage" about these low articulation figures). Removing that, working holsters... I'm ok paying more if articulation creeps up. And again, I'd like to see it go up to a happy medium, not an "everything is SA", like we had been at. That was honestly kind of ridiculous and I took hell on forums for being such an articulation guy.
The line improvements, if they keep, up, I'd be ok paying $10/per if figures got back to 06/07 levels... I still buy Saga DSGunners and AT-AT Drivers at toy shows. They're among my favs. I'd like to see the line get back there.
And man, some of these new guys look just cool. Ackbar having a moving jaw is awesome.
Hoping the BAW thing dies off soon though, for something cooler or just some reinvestment in the figure. Those things are ass, and are all new toolings it seems. BAD = much cooler than BAW, even if the droids aren't as nice as the 08/09 BAD figures you got. BAW seems pretty unnecessary though.
Anyway, lovin' Ackbar. Not many 5POA have my attention like his figure does.
I don't think those are softgoods Jeff, just plastic, but I'm fine with that. I'm quite happy about them actually. Make them much, much nicer to custom up.
