I think the Bespin wave is the sleeper wave of the year. Totally understated, but perfectly done.
CCP - very cool. I checked it out and the Helmet doen't look too shabby on the few Army-Builder heads I have laying around, so there'll be a few customs of him in the future for me Also, he much less "leaning" then lead to believe from the photos. Very nice and neutral.
I wonder why those leaning shots were so misleading, because, yeah, he seems fine to me too. Now is we only had a Cloud Car. It blows my mind that they'd miss the opportunity to sell a vehicle that required not one, but two identical carded figures to accurately "fly".
Lobot- Such a HUGE improvement from PotF2. Very cool little CPU Accessory, and for what ever reason, his head-band is removable!
What really did it on this guy, for me, was the color accuracy. He's much closer to the right look this time around. Standing the POTF2 and OTC versions side by side is hilarious. The old one goes in my pile of outcasts in the company of R5, Dr. Evanzan, and Uncle Owen. That little datapad sure reminds me of an old Playmates Star Trek accessory though.
Leia- ugh. Well, she's new and OTC, so I can't fault her on that, but she isn't as nice as I was hoping due to the dress and the fact that she seems a bit small compared to Chewie and PotJ Bespin Han.
Really? She works fine for me, but then again I didn't have too many expectations or needs out of her. I think she's small, but seems about right when scaled with the BE Leia, so I'm cool with her.
Looking back on Luke and putting him next to the Dagobah version, he's still pretty groovy, by man, I'd sure like a VOTC style ultimate one now. The size proportions and detail on the Dagobah one really outdo this guy. Not to put down a perfectly good figure,
but there seems to have been some great progress on depicting Mark Hamill in plastic since the apology Jedi Luke.
