Here is a temporary Garouf Lafoe since it is not made with the best parts.  Everything except the head is a POTF2 piece and not completely accurate (the upcoming Talon Kardde has a jacket vest that is pretty close to the film version's).  But it'll do for now!  The torso is a CTC Han, arms are from the T-16 Luke, the jacket is Ponda Baba, and the legs are from the Cantina Band member.  I'll let a few people guess on what head that is (definitely SW and newer than POTF2).

As promised, here are a couple pics of Ten Nunb that I repainted.  I also used a Nein Nunb head drilled out to become a ball/socket, since in the film scenes Ten has the skullcap on also.

I'll take a better pic today of the repaint Ten Nunb and show it here (have a rushed version in the customs section).  One thing interesting to those of us looking for rebel set 2 is that the Hasbro slideshow shows a shelf date of 8/15 for that one (even though several people have already found it).  So perhaps some stores were late getting them or asked to hold them in the back for some reason.

Hey Anton- just the WM apple barrel standard red.  The paintjob is a little darker because I put a brown coat on first then drybrushed the red on!

Wow, Airborne looks spectacular in that pic.  Like JJ, he was my favorite as a kid (even though I don't remember much about his character from the comics and cartoon).  I'm so glad to see a re-done Zartan, and with his swamp bike no less, so I'm getting that one too (had the first one and sold him off because he just didn't look like I remembered him).

Why not just swap with the V2 Red body when you get it, not painting involved......and no flaking. It's the same body.

I forgot to add that it wasn't so much the issue with the ball joint as it was that I want multiples of the human B-Wingers but only one Ten Nunb.  So to swap bodies would mean I'm losing the more desirable of the two.

I really enjoy the set more now than I did at first.  K-3PO is so much better than the original: he's shorter, more proportional, has a much better shaped head, and is a truer white.  The R5 is perfect.  Chewie might as well be an ANH version, because there's almost no hint of snow decor, so I ended up putting him into a different scene anyway.  The Han takes a little work to get the glue out (the goggles look infinitely better on his hat than on his face), but it can be done.  The disappointment, I guess, (unless you never bought the POTF2 version) is the Probe Droid.  This is a mold that really could have taken advantage of improved articulation in the legs and better proportions.  Maybe they could have put a new one into the $19.99 assortment with a resculpted Tauntaun or something.

That would certainly have been a good selling point for the Rancor since the sculpt was so recently used for the FU version.  But I didn't buy that one, and I will buy the upcoming ROTJ one.  I guess they shouldn't ever include completely brand new sculpts as pack-ins.

Maybe Hasbro should make a "Legendary Pegwarmers" battle pack, to include Jerjerrod, the Rancor Keeper among others.

I've always asumed it was the rogues at the meeting

I had another look at the film, and there's one scene where you can see the boots of the Snowspeeder pilots: right when Luke is climbing in and Dack asks him if he's feeling alright, you can see 2 rebels climbing into another Snowspeeder with black boots, not snow shoes.

The repaint I gave to Yakface makes him sufficient for me in terms of resculpt need, and I've never felt the Gamorreans were poorly done.  The weequays though could desperately use a resculpt.

The weird thing about the belt is that the clip is on the wrong side, but the actual hole to attach the hilt is on the correct side, as are the two "buttons" next to the buckle on the right side.

This is the rebel pilots 1 set Ten Nunb with a red suit repaint and a Nein Nunb head replacement.  Ten wore a skullcap just like Nein, so thought I would convert it into a ball jointed head.  It was a bit of a rush job, but these new pics show it slightly cleaned up.

Great news, there.  I'd love to see a Wicket/Paploo 2-pack, both at their proper small scale.

Absolutely the AT-AT is the one for me.  Intuitively I would have thought that this is the vehicle most desiring of an "up"grade (pun intended) but apparently not as many people as I thought make it a priority.

I feel the same way, and 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.  So they can prevent the attacks with pitchforks by making sure Klaatu is in the wave too!
