Really, for me this is almost a big *yawn* - not too excited about these. Honestly, these could be a lot better, and the more I think about it, we're getting ripped off on the prices on these. These are just regular figures that should be in the regular line... because of MOMC collectors Hasbro is finding ways to charge more. The only thing (other than the price and the clamshell) that makes these different from the standards of figures these days are the enormous blankets they are adding for softgoods. They are so oversized, it's comical. There are only two figure in this wave that I think are worth the money on - Luke and the Scout Trooper. I think if someone like me who buys the number of figures that I do in mass quantity feels like they're gonna save some money here, then there's others out there thinking the same thing. Anyways, based on the pics, here's my assessmtent.
Luke - Nice to see this figure finally get the royal treatment, count me in for 2-3 for openers. A very nice figure, I'm surprised it took so long for them to do this.
Han - I think this is comical... the jacket to me looks like it would almost fit a He Man figure. So oversized... again, I think they screwed up. I was hoping for a 21st Century styled plastic flexible coat with two sets of arms (especially with a $10-$12 pricetag) and they pull this crap. Funny. And people are enjoying it. Oh well, more for the people in my area. I might pick up one, might not. Depends on how it looks with the coat off. I'm just glad that I customize for God's sake. It's because of reasons like this that I'm glad I don't rely just on Hasbro.
Greedo - Now this is just laughable, is this some kind of joke? I know they want to redo a vintage figure here... but why of a proven pegwarmer? And with a piece of cheap underwear for his vest? Pathetic. I'll get one, and burn that piece of crap vest and replace with the OTC version.
Scout Trooper - Another figure that it took years too long to get an upgrade on... looks like it will have nice articualtion, but I wonder how well he can sit on a speederbike... regardless, I want about 10 of him. They should double pack this guy.
Tusken - Seeing that I already have an army of 20+ of these guys, and that this one looks like it was wrapped in pantyhose, I think it's a joke. Enjoy it if you like oversized soft goods, but for me this looks like a pass.
