The heads on my DS troopers are all going to remain hidden as well. It's a great feature, don't ge me wrong, but I'm not a fan of the use of a Jango head. Had they used a regular head or two I'd have displayed a few without the helmet.

The good thing about the Clone head is, with a little painting, it'll look like anyone...  I'm a little disappointed Hasbro's running with the "all clone" look though as well (upon reflection) since the EU says to the contrary and LFL's run with that despite Lucas's intent.

It's generic enough that, with lighter flesh tone, different eyes, and different colored hair it'll look just fine...  But production-wise mine won't display without thehelmet either, not by a longshot, as I don't go with the Clones = Empire idea myself.

Funny thing is, the biker scout with flip-up visor isn't a Jango Clone...  NOt by the early shots we've gotten anyway, so who knows.

Am I the only one who is actually stoked about the Vader in this assortment? 

I think it's really cool how they did the translucent plastic again and included the skull.

There's really not much left to do with Vader after this version...(that's what I said after the Dagobah version).... :-\

Actually, I think a young Anakin in the suit would be a good version.  We got the Deluxe version in the ROTS line, but it really isn't good for much other than having it strapped to the operating table.  A well articulated version with removable helmet and a ROTS era Anakin head would be a welcome version of Vader in my collection.

While a removeable helmet is cool, the Jango head is not. That helmet will be staying on. Besides, when did we ever see Imperials without their helmets?

It doesn't look like a Jango Clone head to me... Seems too pale.

I always thought that Jango's skin tone was natural, not a tan...

Well, Temuera Morrison is from New Zealand and he's Maori - so yes, his skin tone is natural and not a tan.

But Jango Fett and the clones that ended up as Biker Scouts?  Who the hell knows?

Wow, I was already excited about this figure, but the removable helmet makes this even better.  Figure of the year in my opinion.

Man, the new sandtrooper would have been very sweet with this helmet feature.  I might have to take matters (and my dremel) into my own hands and do the backtracking for Hasbro.
