Hold on a minute, what the hell hilt is that with Luke that is rubbered to his waist? It sure looks like a Vader saber to me, what's the deal Bill McNeal???? Could Hasbro have F'ed the pooch again? Nah... Never.  ::)

Paul.. those look FANTASTIC. Thanks for taking the time to share.

What a surprise with the Han. That's a big leap from the first vOTC one. Nice, nice, nice.

So it looks like the Scout has ankle joints after all. Is that right?

Yes Ankle Articulation.

I'll get close up photo's of it tomorrow next to the Full saber as a comparison.

More great pics.  8)

Paul, is it just me, or is the VTSC Luke slouching to one side?

He has that Torso/abdominal articulation so he is slouched in the picture he can stand up straight, I just got lazy with that photo.

Thank you for those awesome pics pmundheim - those look fantastic!

The Luke is obviously a huge upgrade as is the Scout Trooper.  Man you must be enjoying those figures.

The Han, I'm liking too.  If it wasn't so close to the ANH look, I'd get several.  As it stands, I'll probably get two of them to open.

 :P

SO TRUE...My wife and daughter are out of town till tomorrow afternoon.....I've got the ewok village almost set up (I can't find rails for that thing) and as soon as I get it set up and find my other speeder bikes, it will be ON!!!!!

The biker scout really is the version of that figure I have wanted since seeing the VOTC line in 2004.  I am sure there are some "flaws" in it that somebody can find, but right now, I am too stoked.  Makes me glad I had some PayPal to burn.  And I almost wish I would have snagged the Greedo that the Red5Six had too, but I've ordered 6 cases from various e-tailers so far and I don't really want that many of him.

By the way if anybody wants the "tabs" from Biker Scout, Han and Luke and the order forms, let me know, I'll send to to you FREE.  I am going to end up with plenty.  Just PM me and they are yours.

Hello,
I've never posted here but I had to register to thank the people responsible for posting the magnificent VOTC pics.
These all look spectacular and I cannot wait to get them!
Thanks to all!






Seems to be a common problem with the Carbonite Solos;
I've noticed that the paint aps on the hair have been quite bad on some.
I had to look at three different Han's before I picked mine out.
Maybe they were painted on a monday morning?  ;)

I got them from him off of Ebay, I think they were $24 a piece, but I used PayPal that had been sitting for months in my account, and I don't look at PayPal like it's real money, it's like chips in Vegas....

The price is what kept me from snagging Greedo or another Tusken Raider.

Han Shrunk! ???

Thank's again for the pictures. Great to see that Hans head scuplt is new afterall.

My guess Jesse, is that Luke is slouching due to his ball jointed torso.

Can you post pictures comparing the scout to the the VOTC Stormtrooper & this year's AT-AT Driver? ;D
