Pass the cigars!

Aren't you a little young to smoke?

 

The chrome on that ship is pulling me in even more!

Unique for sure, but it doesn't scream Star Wars...

That's my one and only problem with the packaging. I love it and all, but if the Star Wars logo was taken away, I wouldn't immediately think it was Star Wars.

As some other people said, I really wish that Snowbunny Padme is a single carded figure, because all new sculpts that are in battle packs are very crappy. But I also don't  want to have to pay $13 for it if it's a Target Exclusive!

Maybe I just won't buy her at all

Well I'm an opener, so it doesn't really matter whether it's bent or not. But I still love the new look!

Not speaking to just you, "Roton7."

I know, but I'm just sayin'.

-It's very sleek.

I'm not sure that you know what the definition of "sleek" is.

From the Macintosh 'Dictionary' program:

Sleek
Having an elegant, streamlined shape or design



Yes, it's sleek.

I like the things I collect to be as asymmetrical as possible.

Yup, the asymmetry is cool as well

Okay, I'll break it down for why I like it so much:

-It's very sleek. Every line before SAGA2 has either been boring (SAGA1, for an example) or lame IMO (ROTS, for an example...yes, that's right I didn't like the ROTS packaging). This packaging isn't boring, and I don't think it's lame at all.

-I love the beat-up look. I think the weathering and scratches on the coin area and the words look pretty cool.

-More of the card is dedicated to the actual character. In basically all the other lines, half of the card is the same on EVERY FIGURE, and then the other half is different. Like how on SAGA2, every figure's top half of the card is identical, but the bottom half is unique. I like how on this new card, most of the card is depicting the character itself rather than the logo of the line.

-The shape of the card is a twist that I like! On every single card of all the past lines (EXCEPT for ROTS) the card is a rectangle. A simple, boring rectangle. Oh but wait! On the SAGA2 cards, there is a CURVE on the corners! OMG! Now it's just mostly a rectangle! Now on the new card, it's a brand new look that hasn't been seen before. I love it.

-It's totally unique. Kinda like I said in the above paragraph, it's a completely new twist. The color is different, the bubble shape will be different, almost EVERYTHING is different.


There you have it. That's why I love the new packaging. If you don't want to buy the figures because of how "bad" they look, feel free to do so. All that means is that there's more for me on the pegs!
