Ghadrack Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 I have to imagine that it uses the same mechanism that those stupid brain wave video game controller companies were trying to sell last year. Those picked up muscle stimulus electical current in the body, so if you wink your eye or wiggle your eybrow it picks that up, but just thinking a direction didn't do crap.
Black Valkyrie Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 The Republic will be reorganized into a Galactic Empire, for secure society.
Knight26 Posted July 14, 2009 Posted July 14, 2009 Ok quick question, not so much about the toys but about a model and the canonicity of it. The new E-Wing kit being produced makes it look like the wings are suppossed to move, though none of the kits I have seen assembled so far have the wings movable. This particular kit by FM Model Company clearly has a hinge joint at the wing roots, and it makes the support strut that connects the wing to the fuselage appear to slide in order to make the wing rise. Now my question is, was this the original artists intention or strictly the idea of the model master? Personnally I like it, and it helps to fix some major issues I have always had with the E-Wing.
Black Valkyrie Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Great pic! Thanks, I a sure you more pics on the way hehehe (Darth Sidious style).
Omegablue Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 Any news regarding figures for the new on-line game Old Republic?
transfan52 Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 I haven't collected ne star wars figures for a long time since ROTS came out... Now i'm starting to get back into the figures again... I really like the new OTC and legacy figure lineup. The clone wars figures are pretty good IMO. They are the best mold yet for the CG clone wars series. Probably gonna get one or two vehicles sets from the OTC lineup. The OTC 2006 dagobah x-wing looks really good but is no longer sold in stores (Have to order online). The OTC Tie fighter also looks very impressive, it's one of the few newer vehicles that is actually in correct scale regarding the figures. I really want the warp drive accessory for the clone wars jedi starfighter, only recently has a revision with the drive been available.
Vepariga Posted July 15, 2009 Posted July 15, 2009 ill have to post a pic of my collection,but i got over 100 figures/statues/fighters, master replicas vader force fx saber and boba fett helmet limited ed, and a few model ships. hard to find room for it all sometimes.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Comic-Con exclusive? Aw, man! I was waiting for a new, more poseable dewback, but this is not it. Aside from the ball joints at the ankles this doesn't seem any more poseable than my old khaki dewback, and I like my dewbacks in khaki better. Thanks for the links, Shin.
Mog Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 So, they finally revealed pics of the much ballyhooed DSII (Death Star II) Luke, and I have to say: Lord Moggy is not impressed. Image Link 1 Image Link 2 The facial expression just really looks off. While, the rest of the body just looks like a marginal improvement over the TAC Jedi Luke released a few years back. The Funeral Pyre Luke (from here) actually looks a lot more promising. However, I'm just not feeling the placement of the ball-jointed torso on either of them; it just breaks up the look of the torso too much for my tastes. I would have preferred something lower like the joint they have on most Cobra Commanders. Lastly, looks like I gotta wait until Summer 2010 for any KOTOR figures.

There is a place for the ball jointed torso, and this isn't one of them. The ball jointed torso looks good on clone troopers and other figures with armor. It does not look good with most regular clothed figures. Is it too much to ask for a regular ROTJ Luke with a soft goods cloak, blaster pistol, and lightsaber. BTW, they made Sammy Davis Jr. into a Star Wars figure. http://www.rebelscum.com/sdcc09/hasbro-sw/image76.asp Edited July 24, 2009 by sharky

ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) The Leia fig looks great imo and the best one i've seen of her (te only one decent looking?), but dodging that Luke at all costs, talk about fugly. Getting that Obi-Wan too! Edited July 25, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie
Black Valkyrie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 The Stormtrooper with the Dewback are the best ones from all the bunch.
Black Valkyrie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 This up coming SWE4 Luke looks far better than the one SWE6, http://www.rebelscum.com/sdcc09/hasbro-sw/image219.asp
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Heck yeah good eyes i missed that one! That's probably one of the best sculpts of Luke i seen to be honest.
Vepariga Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 any one see the video of the gentle giants mini-busts ? they look awesome! and the concepts for the Revan bust is something im looking forward to and will definitely pick up. that and the Aasjj ventress Force FX saber.
Mog Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 It's about time Hasbro gets the headsculpt for Farmboy Luke right (seeing as they've botched him up with each new release these past few years). We'll have to see though how the final product turns out before we can scratch another definitive Luke off the list. Now, all Hasbro has to do is deliver a definitive Hoth Luke, Bespin Luke, and DSII Luke. Yeesh, with all the Luke variants they've made over the years, you'd think Hasbro would have a few go-to headsculpts/molds for Mark Hamill by now. BTW, they made Sammy Davis Jr. into a Star Wars figure. http://www.rebelscum.com/sdcc09/hasbro-sw/image76.asp Do not mock the Ice Cream Maker Guy; many a hard-core SW geek will get mad at you! Plus, he may become your next pegwarmer for the upcoming year.
Black Valkyrie Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I wonder if Hasbro will the make figures designed/based on the manga.
Mog Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 No, no, no. We need them to focus on making KOTOR figures. With The Old Republic game coming out in the near future, it makes sense for Hasbro to revisit the characters from the old KOTOR games. Bastila, Sith Troopers, and improved re-releases of Revan, Malak, and HK-47. . .am I asking for too much?
Scream Man Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Jacen, Jaina, Corran Horn and Whistler and Wedge and his X-Wing. If I get nothing else this year, Ill get them.

I'm about to get that one.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Poo. What about the Obi One and R2 and 3PO figures? Thanks, Shin.

Totoro242 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Geonosis Arena Showdown Sets A SUPER ARTICULATED KIT FISTO! I've waited years for this! Also hoping Jango Fett doesn't have the arm wires near the elbow, they hinder elbow movement. NEW BATTLE Packs! New Star Wars Transformers NEW Vehicles! New Droid Factory sets I want a well articulated grinning Kit Fisto. But maybe I'm in the minority on this. Ah man, no bonus fig for the Target packs? Lame. Are those Republic gunship gunners supposed to be attachable to the Gunship? That Y-Wing is so awesome. I think its the best design/redesign/retro-redesign ever. I definately will be getting one of those! Clone Trooper squad is pretty lame. What is that, a mousepad or something? Don't get me wrong, the Clone Wars Obi Won is the best Star Wars figure ever, its just that its a box of re-issues. K-Mart never gets any good exclusives.
Totoro242 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 This up coming SWE4 Luke looks far better than the one SWE6, http://www.rebelscum.com/sdcc09/hasbro-sw/image219.asp Wow, that Luke is awesome. But, maybe its just the lighting. I will have to wait until I see in the store first to make sure.
Totoro242 Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Upcoming SW Legacy Collection, including SWE6 final duel Luke Skywalker, http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Whats...tion_125365.asp Actually the face on that Luke turned out realy nice. I really hate the shoulders though, it makes Luke look too beefy ala Kenner POTF, he's not a beefy guy at all.
Uxi Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 Not so sure about the box on his chest (which they did so they could do both flap open and flap closed). Think I would have preferred a variant (I only really like flap closed I suppose). Still, probably the best DS2 duel Luke yet. Which isn't saying much considering the other attempts were pretty miserable.
Black Valkyrie Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Playing around with my digi-cam as usual ,
sharky Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Do not mock the Ice Cream Maker Guy; many a hard-core SW geek will get mad at you! Plus, he may become your next pegwarmer for the upcoming year. I'm not mocking. I'm just telling the truth. How can anyone see that figure and not think the same thing.
sharky Posted August 14, 2009 Posted August 14, 2009 Here's some pics of upcoming waves. All I got to say is will they ever get Luke's or Han's face sculpted right. It's like there's some sort of curse on any sculptor that attempts their likenesses. They seem to do better with everyone else except the main characters. http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/Whats...tion_125616.asp
