I received a set of Wave 7 via BBTS yesterday, and I really like this wave overall. First of all, especially with all of the shipping/finds lately, I kind of like having more manageable waves like this. Five figures (6 if you count the Ewok 2 pack), and you're all set.
R2-D2 - A new take, although a repacked/repainted figure. The accessories are really nice though, and they (in combo with this wave in general) really make me want to pick up the vintage Endor playset (or they could re-release it
)
Romba and Graak - I know the Ewoks aren't always popular around here, but I'm really happy with these figures. Both are nicely done, well articulated (for Ewoks), and have some nice accessories. I hope we get some more next year - along with eventual resculpts of Wicket and Logray.
A-Wing Pilot - Real nice figure overall, and I hope to get a couple more. Its nice to have some rebel troop builders like this - now if we can get the "soldiers" to go with the pilots.
Spirit of Anakin Skywalker - Not a bad figure, although the outer robe is kind of...different. Just a different type of material than I've seen before on a figure. I would have liked an alternate Sebastian Shaw head, but its still not bad.
McQuarrie Concept Han Solo - Another nice McQuarrie figure, and its nice to put him alongside Chewie. Doesn't really look like Han at all, but that's par for the course for some of these concepts. A nice figure though, hope to pick up another one to keep with my carded Hans.
Anyways, just random thoughts, but this is a pretty nice wave. All OT - and 5 figures. I wouldn't mind seeing 8-9 waves each year about this size, 5-6 figures each, and it would be a little easier to keep up (especially if 6 of them weren't shipped in the last 2-3 months of the year
.
