It is fair to recognise the merit of the sculptors from this wave
Padme and Anakin very renaissance style
Jango has almost a complete paintjob on his surface, perhaps a small bit of Silver was necessary on the soles, except the heels of the shoes.
Mace is one of the best sculpted in gesture and configuration; this time he was depicted more atlhetic than previous versions.
The senate guard will serve as future background for next tfu royal guards, the face under the helmet looks nice, got the attitude of a security guard.
Fisto shares the torso of windu in certain way, except the collar zone, I wonder if the tentacles are some flexible, posable.
Also the paintjob of the tentacles is more detailed than previous versions.
Zam Wessel has got the evolution of the potj versions: more details, although darker paintjob on outfit.
Hmmm in sbd, I donīt see much difference, it could be forearms or stomach areas; but if they want to change the likeness, must develop an articulated head for this droid, or a removable one for battle damaged effects / dioramas.

Looks like during vintage era, Kenner refused to sculpt or paint boots (example Bespin Han with boots the same colors as his pants, anh Luke same case; others who wore shoes didnīt have them painted: Bespin Lando, Lobot, Tusken, jawa, etc.

Ugnaught didnīt spot boots in the eighties, but his unique pig feet under special pig shoes.


Later vintage potf produced more characters with black boots; like Carbon Freeze chamber Han Solo and Endor Leia in battle poncho, but Kenner omitted to piant the yellow stripes on both sides of the pants.

New mini rigs era, they can update or re-release pdt 8 with a generic pilot.

I think the tech with the Yavin sledge could satisfy people not interesed in the other two repaints or kitbashses; but on the other side, the buyer lose the opportunity of getting a complete battle pack.

All 3 Lobot versions deserve merit, they conserve the enigmatic expression of the character, even in the naif vintage one.
I think a tvc version would represent a challenge in depiction, starting with a removable belt (buckel detailed of course), and if he comes with a removable headgear, sculptors must prevent doing a hollow head, it would be desirable a complete head under that headset.

I will only buy the Ot characters from this wave. Hope in the near future Hasbro give us a new classic stormie, using the new sculpt they asigned to those PT clones.

Excellent rendition of Luke pilot. Looks a bit taller than tlc snowspeeder pilot, the face seems to nail Mark Hamill likeness.
A definitely must have for the collection.

mmm... the dark side is clouding the comics timeline continuity

regrets for the change of Rattattak for Dathomir
but the flash back is very quick, they said Asajj left Dathomir, so Republic 60 could be true in a certain point of view.

As a literature and Linguistics man, I suggest the change for this planet is due to the stronger and more appelaing name of Dathomir, cause Rattatak is kinda cacophonic and so childish for a serious name.

Only future chapters could tell us if zabraks are originary from this planet (that will proof a loss of continuity, certain lack of variety). Iridonia was appealing too, for Iridium the radiactive element which ended the reign of dinosaurs, sounds strong, perturbing, dark side connected.

The nightsisters show themselves an organized army inside the galaxy, thier mother is cunning and able to conspire, she projects herself a competitor to Sidious (less powerful of course, but enough macchiavelic).

At this time reading "A world for Julius" by Alfredo Bryce Echenique (Peruvian writer)
