My thoughts on this wave so far:
Endor Rebel - A nice upgrade, but has a couple drawbacks I think though because I feel the head sculpt is really weird, as his face looks animated to me... I might actually be being too kind by saying that. It's borderline horrid. Also, his legs have great articulation, but he really isn't too poseable. I have two of these guys now, and both fall over if you move his legs about too much... I don't usually care for ball jointed hips, but this figure might have benefitted from that. His sculpt on the body though is great, and the upper body really has some fantastic potential for customs... essentially, it's a sweatshirt. Very plain, but a customizer's dream. I'll get a few more, but he might be the worst figure from the wave...
Ackbar - Other than a lack of ankle articulation, the good admiral is damn near perfect. The sculpt seems right out of something from Sideshow, and is well above anything we've seen from Hasbro for this species in my opinion, though the Mon Calamari warrior was a good figure. It's just amazing how natural Ackbar looks... the articulation is also great and the way his head turns just seems so life-like. I'll gladly purchase some more.
Woof - I have two of these and already customized one into a Rodian, could not resist as this is a great figure overall. I don't feel there's any drawbacks on this one, and the soft goods works quite well. I'll probably grab 3-4 more and actually passed on a couple today at Target because I'd rather pay Wal-Mart's price.
Gamorrean Guard - This is easily the figure of the year as far as I'm concerned... if not ever. This is the best thing I've ever seen Hasbro do. The soft goods might seem bulky to some, but I dig them and don't feel a need to make any alterations. They did such an unreal job on this figure, thank you Hasbro - THANK YOU. I want at least a dozen of this guy. This is what Hasbro can do, and it's truly a work of art. The sculpt... articulation... accessories... paint scheme... everything. There is nothing about this figure that I'd change.
Luke - Wow, if not for the Gamorrean, I'd say this is Hasbro's best effort to date. It's just an amazing rendition of Luke, the body proportions are so accurate looking, his head is amazing, the articulation works great with the ball joint wrists and hips... I could go on and on. Hasbro nailed this one, finally.
Wicket - For a little furball, pretty damn good. And I don't even like Ewoks. The additional hood is fantastic! I think this is well worth it and the best Ewok yet.
R2-D2 - Haven't bought yet, passed twice at Target. Will get at Wal-Mart later for a bit cheaper.
