30th Anniversary Collection / Re: 30AC "Vintage" Wave

Did you cut Han's hat down to fit it on?  I can't get mine on at all.  I really wish they'd gone with swappable heads...

No, Han's hat is entirely the same - I take his neck thing off, pull off Han's head and fit the head/hat thing around the neck piece, and then place all of that back of the neck joint.

I love this wave  - here's a couple of pics:



(Hoth Han has come a long way!)



(not too shabby, either)

Just this one, for now! Two more are on their way, though. I would like to find one more to customize the Hoth Commander with.

I went to my local Target yesterday morning and was told these will be put out 5/27 only. I went back to the same store in the afternoon and got an another employee to bring them out - the late shift crew seem to be the 'rebels' of the bunch.

First impressions: these look darn nice, especially Snowtrooper, Bossk and Ig-88....I am very happy with this wave.

Update: I opened the Bossk and Ig-88...one word for both: WOW! The detail on these two is staggering - Bossk is a work of art. Ig-88 is actually a quarter of a head shorter than VTSC Chewie, so he is truly an amazing fig, and finally accurate height (taller than the vintage one). His back holster is kinda cool - the guns are made of a very hard plastic, but the blaster doesn't really fit...Amazing detail on this one...they never need to make new sculpts of either ever again, they are that good! The paint detail on these are subtle yet vibrant all at the same time - one thing I would say with this line, these are paint apps you would not see in the regular line - just too much detail. Just an example of what I mean: Bossk's tongue is painted well - something the reg versions did not have, not in this detail. There is no slop at all with these paint apps.

I have not opened my Snowtrooper yet, as I scored just one of these, but he does look very, very nice. I am waiting for my case from Newforce before I get/open the rest. Newforce shipped will be $2 less a fig than Target....go Rick on your prices!!!

As the above pic really shows, this new Snowtrooper is an amazing improvement, 'slight' color issues or not! To me, the new 'Vintage' figure is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

I love the Q&As, thanks for the hard work on these, everyone. I cannot wait for that new Ig-88.

ill pick her up from the clearance bin.

Of all the Vintage 'VTAC,' this is the only one I think of like that. The rest of them will be bought the instant I see them! I am still amazed at the level of detail with these, especially Ig-88 and Bossk.

I just want to say 'Thanks' to all the folks at JediDefender that took these awesome pics! They really do the figures justice.

I must say that I am blown away by most of the Vintage figs this year, especially Ig-88 and Bossk.....that Han Hoth is a work of art!

I just care about the metal Ig-88 - only one so far that makes sense!
