Legacy Wave 6 - The Empire Strikes Back

[CHEWIE]

Not really liking the cloth skirt on the Hoth Rebel, but oh well.

[Darth Broem]

Me neither Chewie.  Although I will still buy a few of each variant.  I would have preferred plastic similar to the long jackets on the Indiana Jones Nazi Soldiers.  If I am remembering those correctly.  Oh well at least it's better than nothing. 

[Jesse James]

I gotta disagree...  I don't think the cloth is perfect looking, and it could've probably stood something a little thicker, however nothing moves like cloth for poseability, and soldiers with "plastic skirts" can turn out badly.  The Germans from the Indy line had decent skirts, but they still don't sit perfectly...  Cloth will allow that.

The Hoth Rebs skirt is a thinner material than I think I'd have gone with, but I'll take it.  If that's the worst thing about the figure, thank god.

It's been found.  Time to start hunting.

Man alive.  I thought I was going to have a few weeks off after getting the last piece I needed from the most recent Clone Wars wave.

But it looks like at least one of the Ugnaughts is going to carry forward as a reissue in the LEGACY RED line.

Nice to see there is NO skirt on the Hoth Soldier... or was that supposed to be an error for the first shipment only?

The error version without the skirt will be shipping first.  And the corrected versions are set to follow later.  That's what Hasbro said at Toy Fair.

Glad to hear this wave is hitting, really looking forward to it.  Plus, it seems like its been a little slow - especially figure-wise - so far this year.  Looks like a nice wave overall, and hopefully the "skirted" Hoth Soldier won't be too far behind.

Scored the Hoth Rebel today. Despite the lack of skirt (for now) and a couple other minor flaws (the paint is pretty crappy on the helmet and belt), I am mighty pleased with this figure.

[Nicklab]

That looks damn cool!  The Hoth rebels are going to be my first foray back into army building in a little while.

For anyone interested, HTS appears to have this wave available for preorder (they list a 5/11 ship date).

Anyone got a code for a percentage off when ordering on HTS??

Here, let me Google that for you.

That was nifty.

Just got my set of 6 from BBTS...my Hoth Rebel came as skirted as a school girl (but not as giddy)
