That backpack for Yoda looks so small that I don't think even his head would fit in it!  

Anyway though, I like the looks of this wave.  I've always wanted a Luke like that, I think it would have been great to make the Luke and Yoda in an Ultra 2-pk like that and then release a different Luke later with repositioned arms and a new head.  Guess Hasbro wasn't on the same page as me on that one though.

As for R2, I will get one, but I can easily customize my own that way (which I did).  So to me it's not overly necessary but I do think they did a good job with it.

Yoda looks a tad too tall and skinny, and yes his backpack looks like it was made for a smaller midget than Yoda.

Obi Wan is the prize of this wave though to me.  What a fantastic sculpt; I pray that we get another release of this figure without the bluish tint, so he can be a neutral posed Obi Wan from ANH as well.

Overall I think this is a great looking wave, not as exciting to me as the recent Tatoone/Jabba's Palace/Yavin waves, but still very, very nice.

 

it just goes to show: no one likes a figure until it isnt luke. im the only luke fan in the universe!

Well, it looks like Dagobah Luke does have alternate arms/head.  Doesn't look too articulated, but the sculpt is nice.  You can see more shots of the Dagobah wave here, courtesy of GH:

I kind of hope the Dagobah Luke has some sort of interchangable head/arms too, but it is hard to tell.

I'm really thinking that Hasbro's going to get this one right for some reason - maybe 'cause they've been restoring my faith of late, and proving to me that they're listening to what we really want.  If this does wind up being a one-pose wonder, it'll still be a very cool figure IMO.  But I'd obviously like it to be able to work both ways, and I really think it will...

   

Absolutely beautiful news to wake up to this morning.  Hasbro really does get it now.  I'll assume the extra limbs and noggin will be included as "accessories" for now, but even if it's a completely seperate figure, that's still fine.  The important thing is that Hasbro now realizes that we don't want just one-pose wonders.  Of course, it looks like we'll be stuck with two one pose wonders instead now, but that's cool.  Who knows, maybe they'll throw in a third set of neutral arms as well!  

Just nice to have one of those "feel good" collecting moments to see Hasbro doing this - kind of like when they announced the Blue and Brown Coat Hoth Hans...  

Like Matt said, I could see these maybe being released as two seperate figures too.  I just have a hard time picturing a carded Luke with a severed head next to him in the box...not to mention the arms.  Who knows though.  I don't have any problems with them being two seperate figures, as long as they aren't too hard to find (one version or the other, or both).

So it looks to me like Yoda will fit into his backpack perfectly if the figure detaches at the waist - if you look at the pic, the backpack and Yoda's torso are the exact same shape and dims.
