I would hope!

Still don't like them, but I'm curious, how much of the vintage figures are gonna be made?

El Chewbacabra looks kind of cool

I believe other than the limited small head Han Solo each has a run of 1,500. Fett and Stormtrooper were both exclusives and go for a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Actually, the total ES for Han Solo (both versions) is 2500... the small head Han will be no more than 1:5 or 1:6 of that number, so there will only be at most 500 of the small head Han.

But I think he was asking about how many different figures they're planning. We don't know for sure, but there will be at least the original Kenner 12 plus 5-6 more we already know of (not counting variants, like the 2 Hans). I'm guessing 20-30 at most.

Maybe once they get through the original 92 figures, they'll start on the current rerelease figures.

Oh my bad! Yeah we only have a few confirmed at this time! But you're right the total edition for both Han Solos were 2,500. 1,000 for small and 1,500 for large.

Where did you get those numbers from? I thought the small head variant was a chase version of 1 per case?

 

[IrishJedi]

No, it's 2,000 of the large head and 500 of the small head.

Is small head Han still available from the GG Collector's Guild? I don't have a membership.

I think the huge gap between Fett and Han/Chewie killed this line for me. I was so excited about them when I got the Stormtrooper and Fett at CV, but now I'm not really feeling the urge to collect them. Might pick up a Vader tho once that one actually comes out.. Maybe that will peak my interest in this line again

 

[budafett]

Vader will be processing on WEDNESDAY!

 

[IrishJedi]

Wow. That was quicker than expected. Where did you hear this? Any word on Leia?

Hmm. Didn't get that email yet. Maybe they're doing them in waves. Did you order Leia?

No, I have a Vader/Fett/Stormtrooper focus and these guys are way to big to collect the whole line.

I might pick up extras of Fett/Stormtrooper is they ever reissue them on SW hardbacks.

 

[BlueSnaggletooth]

Confirmed - Leia is processing on Wed as well.
