  1. That figure was ridiculous.

    Stylized comic book art was EVERY where when those were released, Chris Bachalo, Joe Mad, (I would include people like Liefeld, but I only wanted to focus on artists) so I just attributed it to that… and the original artwork for the movie.

    But yeah, apparently “the force” and “the steroids” were interchangeable.

  2. They really could have gotten more milage out of the Zabrak warrior / Shirtless Maul body as a base for all of these.
    Switch Greedo to the Archive release, photo real Leia to POTF2 card, then add the 5 male mains: Luke, Han, Ben, Vader, Lando, all with that Zabrak torso and a new overlay. Even if the waists of the previous main characters releases don’t line up, no ESPECIALLY when the waists don’t line up!

  3. Han missing his flight gloves bothers me so much. It’s the one feature Hasbro had over the Figuarts, recreate Han as he was in the Mos Eisley take-off, shooting Sandtroopers, wearing his gloves. I bet they will never reissue the whole figure as it was before, now.
    Let’s hope that they will make some more weirdly specific single releases of heroes like the 3 inch line has done when that was running high. ANH pilot gear Han with a headset would be what I want anyway and fit well in the same wave as a single release of that Landspeeder Luke in redneck style with poncho and rifle, a Ben Kenobi that can sit down with holo Leia or Lukes training stuff, where they can skip the brown cloak and a Leia with a shaped, plastic hood part and DS plans card.

    I wanted to buy the Vintage Han at release but it was double standard price in Europe due to that waves rarity.
    Then again, what I hoped for was Hasbro remake ANH Solo with the ROTJ body as a base. That one has more torso articulation and a better collar shape. Just different colors, new forearms and a new head if the ANH BS ones don’t fit the connectors. The ANH head here works well, better than the TESB&ROTJ heads at least. Just the one in the package pic looks like they shaved off some of his sides to give him that costume test hair cut.

  4. It’s not getting worse (see clone wars obi wan) it’s just being used here on an older, weaker headsculpt.

  5. Yo, why is the face scan technology getting worse instead of better. Looks like Han if Han was a cross-eyed teenager.
