Force Unleased Stormtrooper Commander

[thenammagazine]

This is great news. Starkiller must be planned as well. Can't wait for him. I was going to work on a custom one but I may just wait it out for now.

Ditto on both accounts. I know there are a lot of "EU" haters and they'll no doubt fill this thread with Tarkin's recognized foul stench , but it's nice to see that Sideshow's encompassing the whole franchise with releases like this instead of just the narrower version of the films. Then again, Sideshow catered to both this newsletter. All you OT lovers can go and enjoy the ginormous $199 diorama sculpted with love, exclusively for you and your Jabba displays !

I'd actually be all over Starkiller, Juno Eclipse, Maris Brood, Rahm Kota and Shaak Ti in her TFU gear.

I bet you would...literally

Definite pass for me. I was never into the "buy one of every clone" kind of mentality in the first place, and this wasn't even in the films.

 

[Deeznutz6]

Although this is a pass, I am glad to see SS pumping out heavy SW releases.

 

[Memnoch]

Not an EU hater, I just like well thought out EU like the Clone Wars. While the game may be fun.. doesn't really make much sense for Vader to have an apprentice that the "all knowing" Emperor doesn't know about.

At this point in the continuity, I don't think the troopers were clones anymore, but general recruits from throughout the galaxy.

The Emperor did know about him. But you'd already know that if you'd played it.

I think they were a little of both. But they weren't clones of Jango, I think the Empire started cloning other people. That's from EU though, so take it as you will.

I think this is a pretty cool offer. The only reason I won't buy it is because I don't want any troopers except the Rex with Obi hologram. But if I were going to buy others I would definitely get this one.

Well sorry I don't have time to play video games of late. I just think it's a lazy design, it wasn't in the films and just seems to cheapen the OT. Now give me something from Shadows of the Empire and now we're talking.

 

[Blackhole]

Yes! That's a nice figure...

Now they must do Starkiller right?

 

[MaulFan]

Starkiller would be a great figure from the game. This is an easy repaint to demonstrate that SW fans will buy anything.

I don't think this makes Starkiller guaranteed by any means - he'd actually require some thought and effort.

Agreed, I don't take this as a sign of more unleashed figures, certainly I hope not, plenty of positions for the actual films and even CW to be filled before branching off into a video game. It's a quick repaint I imagine and such variants will likely be as far as visiting unleashed goes.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

WTF? Why in the hell would they make this??

 

[The Josh]

Turning into a typical SW thread. Time to check out.

[Odowankenobi]

Even though we're almost all passing right now, I still see a lot of us picking it up if this ends up on GC. It just might due to the lack of recognition.

I wasn't saying that they were (or weren't) clones. Just referring to the people who have to have every color of clone, whether it be busts or action figures. Never really understood that. And this piece probably appeals to that kind of collector.

 

[The Mike]

I bet you would...literally

Well Juno and Shaak anyway....:

 

[Odowankenobi]

Very true. I've seen people with entire rooms filled to the brim with the 3 3/4 clones. It's obscene. I hate to see what those kinds of people would do with 1/6th scale clone variants.

 

[The Josh]

I love it when SW Fans start picking @ how other SW fans collect.

 

[Odowankenobi]

Trust me. We're jealous. I wish I had the money to have an entire room dedicated to a clone army.

 

[NASEDO]

They should of made a 3 pack or 5 pack of troopers or put them up all at once.

 

[EVILFACE]

I like my classic Stormtroopers white.

PASS.
