The Boba is probably worth getting if you're a loose completist, since he is slightly more than a kitbash. Though his upper body is still the Saga/OTC Fett with the action feature, the button has finally been retooled into an appropriate rocket, and the action feature has been kept intact. The switch to the VOTC legs actually makes little difference or improvement to the figure. He's an oddity that I'm actually happy to have. But he's no VOTC Fett, that's for sure.
I was pleasantly surprised with Barada because of the paint differences, too. They're a big improvement. Like you say, Scott, if they must continue the practice of rehashing old figures, then hopefully they'll maintain the level of paint improvement that they've done here.
Chewie flat out sucks, though. That preposed right arm, positioned in that "Uh, I have a thought if I might be so bold as to interupt the current conversation" pose just ruins the figure's versatility beyond the one-pose mechanic use he was originally designed as. It's too bad they couldn't kit bash together a "new" Chewie out of VOTC and other parts for here like Fett.
I'm torn on Han - I'm glad to have an improved Carbonite Han, like the painted dust on his shirt, and overall there's nothing wrong with the figure. He just isn't very useful. He doesn't have enough articulation to do anything other than stand at attention, and he doesn't really have any accessories to allow him to interact with other figures or in dioramas. He's just blah. And yeah, the carbonite block looks a little too narrow.
Boushh is a major improvement over the 1997 version. I'm pretty happy with her aside from the standard grip about the big shoulders. I got an opener with poorly painted hair, which kinda sucks.
Bib is a big improvement in sculpt, too, but he'll just stand in a corner unnoticed like the last version did. He looks better but he's still just a statue.
Overall, I'm fairly pleased with what we got here, in that OTC kind of way. There're some clear winners, a couple dogs, and a few that just don't have enough special "oomph" to them to really shine.
Also, I could care less about the holograms. If they had designed them, where applicable, to be posed like they were in hologram form in the movies, I'd at least be pleased to have the extra accessory. But instead I have a hologram of Sideous weilding a lightsaber, which is useless to me. As they are, they just feel gimmicky.
