A simple custom repaint of the hoods from the ewok set, and it'll make some great background filler!

The next time they make an Endor rebel trooper, I really think it should be a resculpt of the original POTF2 version, with the full camo pattern, not the vest guys. But wouldn't it be a cooler idea if they released a new Prune Face with alternate non-eyepatch headsculpt and cloak colors? It could be like the running change to the Imperial technician or previous Endor trooper.

Yep. you're absolutely right about the sheaths; I thought something was wrong with just mine. The blades themselves look great with the serrated edges and they're pretty thick and durable for such a small accessory though. I forgot to mention that as I removed his helmet thing one of the tubes broke right off! Still, despite those things, the costume design and figure execution are just tops I think!

I re-bought Snow Job (had him then sold him then got interested again 
and also the newer Zartan (love him) and the Cobra Eel (never had this figure but I think it just may be my favorite Cobra trooper overall!)

Saw it today and loved it. The fact that it was a direct sequel to Casino Royale was great. Glad that Felix and Giancarlo Giannini's character showed up too! I'd say I preferred the locales from CR a bit more, but a nice sequel overall. Looks like Mr White may be the new Bond recurring villain, and how about that Goldfinger homage?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that they confirmed another McQuarrie figure AND a Johnston concept figure in the EU wave!

Wow, this may be the best Q and A session yet! I haven't even read all of them yet, but so far the cantina and old Ben tables have been confirmed, a new Nikto coming, jawa and another droid, a new rebel pilots set with Red 4, and another ANH wave among others! Great week

« on: December 5, 2008, 11:56 PM »I'm thinking Hasbro wouldn't have the cajones to release a new Malakili in this wave and not a new Palace Klaatu in the same wave.
Quoting myself now that we have confirmation of Wooof! I knew they would do it!
Quoting myself again! I guess they have the cajones after all

I'm SO thrilled that out of 7 waves next year, 5 are OT! This year has been so prequel and EU heavy that I was hoping we'd get a year like the planned 2009 one.

Really? I'd be surprised if there were fewer than 2 actually. That scene is the source of more unmade characters than any other in the film I think (other than perhaps X-Wing pilot variations).

What I love about that Q and A answer is that they basically make fun of carded completists without actually sounding like they do 
. I personally would love the SL line if it was just frickin' cheaper! I could always use an extra OT figure like a Biker Scout or throne C-3PO for dioramas, but I don't need them $7 badly.

The Legacy Collection / Re: Do You "Collect 'Em All"?
« on: December 3, 2008, 07:57 PM »
I tend to think of completism as a carded collector mentality, since "collecting" is usually acquiring a bunch of things for display. If we called it, "buy 'em all" then I would consider myself in that category for OT toys. Unless Hasbro comes up with some dumb-looking action feature for the line, I tend to buy everything OT (multiples of army builders or main characters that will fill several diorama scenes). So for me, it's not collecting 'em all as much as trying to have a toy representation of every character from the OT!

« on: November 23, 2008, 01:01 AM »Picked up the Cobra Commander/Tripwire comic pack yesterday, as one Walmart in my area has their everday price on the comic packs at $7.00. Tripwire is a pretty nifty figure.
I just got that one too, and I agree on the Tripwire, who was a favorite of mine back in the day! I must have lost those mines countless times. This toy line keeps sucking me in though! Have you guys seen the pics of the newest vehicles including the Cobra Stinger? Damn!

Got my Doc yesterday, finally! (Didn't notice the check getting cashed, either 
). Great memories with this character; I was all about the wave 1 and 2 when I was a kid, and Doc was firmly entrenched in my Joe play.
