Endor Rebel Troopers

Ruiner on RS posted a pic of them...

Just saw a pic of them on the Rebel Scum Message board. They look kick ass will definitly be getting all 3. :chew

* Edit well the pic here now too.

Yep, it aint a joke anymore... SSC will have to address this tonight in the NL. Thanks PT, I know you and Wor-Gar were pumped about the grey haired guy and there he is!

 

[Darth Loki]

Considering we have no pics, and no one has confirmed the article, I'm thinking this may be false news. If it is true, it's a weird way to kick off the Military line.

Nevermind

I will definately get the old man... not too sure about the other two...

They look good. Middle one looks like gi joe's Rock n Roll.

 

[Fritz]

The guy on the right looks like Brant.

 

[Shawn]

Well Im not a big fan of the Endor Troopers at all. So this is an easy pass for me. I always thought the Rebel side of the military looked like dorks anyways.

 

[abstractharmony]

Not for me I'm afraid.

It's funny - I really didn't think that I would pass up any of this line. looks like I was wrong.

That much money for a GI Joe? I think not.

 

[IrishJedi]

YAWN!

I seriously can't think or a more disappointing figure announcement at this point, especially for kicking off the Military line.

Looks like you get to save some money then.

Yes, I do.

But it's also a wasted amount of resources and figure allotments. That's the main thing.

Now, if SSC ends up producing more like 15-20 figures next year, fine. But if it's the same 8-10, these figures are extra uber-lame.

I couldn't agree more. This is a huge disappointment for me.

I think you're both missing the point that this liscense will be around for a long time. If all they released were main characters, you'd be *****ing about not having background characters. I'll admit I'm surprised the Stormtroopers weren't first but I also think these characters are a bit easier than Stormies and maybe the troopers just got delayed (same thing happened with the Fett PF).

That's what I was thinking...

Does anyone have a pic of Brant for us that don't know what he looks like.

I wonder if we'll get any female Rebel Troopers so Dusty can be immortalized?

Just to fresh up my memory: I thought they said the licence is good for 3 years, is that correct?

I think it was longer than that, 5 years, and if I'm not mistaken someone had hinted that it's already been extended or at least won't be over when the initial time frame was up.

I think you are missing the point, which is that of all of the military style troopers in SW the Endor Rebel Troopers are about THE LAST I would think of. I mean, come on... the Rebel Fleet Troopers from ANH would be a much better option (and much more timely, considering that next year is the 30th anniversary of ANH).

SSC was sniffing glue when they decided to do these now. Only way to explain it.

We may have to wait for the pilots in the Naboo air force. I don't think there were women in the Lucas' military back then.
