Anyone else think the guy on the cardboard insert resembles Toby Maguire?

Spiderman paint variant anyone?

Gargra didn't have six boobs & could be mistaken for a man! ;)

Ok I am confused now.  If she has 6 boobs how the heck can you mistake her for a man?  :P

My cry of "hypocrite" goes to Hasbro...  If Ball/socket joints are so damned hard to make, why on god's green earth would Gragra get ball/socket shoulders?  I mean, what's the point here? 

I'm not complaining mind you...  I love articulation and she seems to have as much as could possibly be on her to make her useful for posing, but I don't get why Hasbro would go the extra mile with a figure like her but whine, "but it's so hard...  wah!" when people say they want more figures to have those styles of joint.  Fine, but when Mas Ameda has ball/socket shoulders and arms, or Gragra has shoulders that way, you gotta scratch your head about Hasbro's supposed "reasons" for what they do. 

Great looking figure though...

And I still say that the Naboo guy has army building aspects to him that ICMG just doesn't.  That's not to say I disagree though OCB, and I think ICMG is as worthy a figure (honestly if they were gonna give us a Naboo guy, they should've resculpted the Naboo Footsoldier from 99 to be this articulated with a removable hat).  I still like the Naboo Soldier guy though that we're getting and he looks far better in the recent photos I think.  Much less blocky, very nicely articulated, removable helmet, and a better (seemingly) proportioned head...  Or so that's how it appears to me.

The fact he's from a dismal film will be his downfall I think. :)

The only carded figure I've seen thus far from the Naboo wave that interests me is Rep Been. I'm still waiting to see a carded pic of Endor Luke!

I'm loving the Naboo Soldier... That might be one of my favorite TSC figures when it's released. Love the removable helmet, but I wish it came with a couple random crates and boxes seen around the Naboo hangar... That'd be nice.

Podracer 2-Pack is awesome as well... Love Mars's HUGE honkin' rifle. What does he need that for, is he going bantha-hunting or something? Wish Dud had the correct goggles, but I'm nitpicking.

Rep Been is kinda cool, dunno if I will pick it up or not.

Gragra, like Yarna, doesn't excite me that much, but I love the chubas.  ;D

I have to admit that the Naboo dude looks better in carded form that previous pictures.  Still he is not raising my skirt.

Seriously. I would rather have seen these joints in the arms of the rebel soldiers.

The podracers look good. Dud's colour is off though,  too pastel!
It's strange they didn't use the right depction of Mars on the card- thats the animatronic, quite a different and more vibrant alternative to the cgi they based the figure on.
Anyway,bring on more podracers - it's the prequel's cantina!!! ;D

Heh Heh.. Hasbro lies to us in their Q and A. They tell us it's hard to make..they don't have the resources ect. to make a whole line SA but reality tells me they can milk us into buying more versions of figs because $. They know if they produced an ultimate, SAC figure first... many folks wouldn't buy additional repaints, or versions. They know what they're doing.

Note: none of the above is proven..purely speculation and opinion
