Ghadrack Posted June 22, 2009 Share 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.

Knight26 Posted July 14, 2009 Share 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.

transfan52 Posted July 15, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted July 23, 2009 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted July 25, 2009 Share 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!

Mog Posted July 25, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totoro242 Posted August 8, 2009 Share 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.

Uxi Posted August 8, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharky Posted August 14, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
