I got my figures on Friday...first thoughts...
Obi-Wan Kenobi 10 out of 10...the only gripe I have is that they did not include a robe with him. Otherwise, he is absolutely fan ******* tastic. I'll probably get 3-4 more of these bad boys to replace a lot of the Saga I crap on my shelves. Looking back at alot of the Episode II stuff it just sucks the route the Hasbro team went during that movie. Preposed action laden crap for the most part. And yet...there isn't a whole ton left to do SA and this OWK fills a huge hole.
The Larses I've never really cared for their scenes in the two movies but Owen's figure is again great. Beru is nice and its nice to finally fill a couple of much needed holes on the shelf (Ep II Tatooine and the end of Ep III)
Concept Anakin I really don't care for the figure that much and the plastic cape is very POTF2ish...meh
Captain Typho Neat figure...hopefully they can reuse for more Naboo soldiers down the road. No holster but well articulated and I like the removable hat.
Tarados Another meh on my list. I'm not one to go gaga over the Arena scene (and the ROTS temple scene) but I'm glad to add another Jedi to the ranks. I think the idea of Weequay, Barada and Nikto Jedi is sort of stupid. But that's the OT purist in me.
HK-47 Neat, again not high on my list of wishes since I don't generally play SW video games and I don't own a X-Box but he is well done and I know others will like him
Sooo...IMO...get as many Obi Wans as you can. The Larses if you want to fill some shelves or scenes. Typho is a good solid figure and so is Tarados, they just aren't that exciting for me. The issue I see here is huge pegwarming potential that will hopefully be minimized by being the last wave of the Legacy blue cards as well as the general scaling back of production. Otherwise the Larses and Typho could be uber plentiful until Christmas
(One could also hope for a Target DCPI change too I guess with the new cards)
Oooh...and Jango is still as purple as Barney,
