Well, I think the gunship from the cartoon would be an awesome piece, especially if it came with a clone or two.

Hmm... this is a very either/or list for me. Definitely depends on execution.
Clone Wars Gunner: Either one of those guys would be neat.
Boba Demise BP: I don't know... doesn't sound interesting at all, unless there's a Skiff Guard Klatuu in it, or maybe a VOTC Fett.
Senate Defense BP: This is odd since it sounds so similar to the one Target is getting, and there's next to nothing in description in the report. I have no idea at all what it could be.
Endor AT AT- This is going to be EXPENSIVE. I imagine it will be window boxed, but w/o the legs attached. Hopefully they'll have the backdrop be like the AT AT is docked at the platform like in the movie.
Grievous Demise: Could care less personally.
Snow Bunny Padme: The best news of the day. CW or movie style, I'm good.
Senate Skirmish: If it's not a Senate Duel Palpatine, then I'll pass, even if it has more Shocktroopers.
Windu Squad: Since it will probably be EU clones, I'll wait and see.
Lucas fig: Probably Papanodia. I don't know about this one.
Kir Kanos: I knew it.
The WM stuff... I suppose if you like lightsabers.

They did mention Luke comes with a poncho. It would be simple enough for Hasbro to retool a new torso for the Jabba's Palace Luke, get rid of the skirt, and have an Endor Luke without trying too hard.
The Endor solider... do we need another one? Not unless he's SA, which he's not, so... yeah, the only Emperor I'd be interested in would be the Evo one.

RS updated already with the '411' on this wave. Um... is it me, or are they just throwing darts? And maybe staying up too late writing this (see bit about the Emperor at the end)?

Just saw the update on the main page of pics of the variant set. Good lord, that Sandtrooper is an amazing paint job. He practically looks like a different figure. He must be thirsty, too.

Revenge of the Sith / Re: TRU Exclusive Holographic Emperor
« on: October 31, 2005, 02:21 AM »
Yeah, of all the very recent exclusives, he makes the most sense. Lava this and Covert Clone that are really bonkers compared to figs actually in the film. I'm not too hip on him, though, only because I have the Holo Sidious, and he's still tops in my book.

They actually look very good. My friend Sugu is a TF freak, and he'll be all over these.

So far we don't seem to be getting any Padme next year which is mind blowing considering we're getting sure fire duds like Sun Fac.

Another "I kinda' figured that out on my own" 411. You think they'd be able to identify which sculpts the repacks use, or which deco the Clone in the Coruscant wave is, if they really had the dirt.

I'm Ki Adi will be holo. It will probably be the EP1 sculpt, which I guess is all they can do unless they augment the ROTS one somehow. It's odd the RS '411' failed to dig any dirt on the clone, which is the only real question mark we have on that wave.

Boussh may be one of the best figs they've ever done. Han still sucks.

This probably belongs in the Geonosis thread, but oh well: I think the biggest problem with the Geonosis wave is Sun Fac. Maybe it's just me, but his slot would have been better served with a resculpt we all want (Jango, Mace, Obi, Barriss). I think 3-PO is a bad choice, too.

Since I voted for Padme, I hope she wins (I thought she'd be in last place) but I bet you they end up doing both.

I think next year, with no more films to back the line up, would be the year Hasbro would want to go for broke in terms of locking up collector support. Not to the extent they do everything we want right away, but clean out that drawer a little (PT Owen and Beru, Trophy Obi Wan, etc.) and lob some long awaited wants at us (Hermi, R5, etc.).
It seems in some way that's what they're doing, if the lists are true. But that Geonosis wave... ehh...
