New photo of Luke if you scroll down.

Warning. Don't scroll further down because what can be seen cannot be unseen. If you were a fan of 2005's Anakin-to-Vader figure, well I guess you might be in for a treat.

Admittedly, that Luke does look pretty good. If Hasbro can deliver this kind of quality on a regular basis, then they will have gone back to earning my dollar.

Thanks for the link!

Finally Obi-wan's lightsabers are coming out!

For you maybe, I happen to like PT ahem Star Wars.

Oh, I like the PT as well.

I meant more that for this particular sub line, I'd like to see them do the original 12 FIRST.. then whatever they want after that.

Vader looks kinda cool:

Reminds me of the original Kenner Vader. The helmet is sitting way too high, and he looks like he has a pot belly. But there's something kinda nice about it.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

They're the 12" figures though, right?

This is the 6" thread.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

D'oh! Sorry! I saw it in the link and got all caught up in the pictures!

 

[Evil_Ash]

wait those are the black figures in that pic? the biker, padme, etc? they look horrible compared to luke. and why is mark wahlberg dressed as a jedi? or are they 3 3/4 scale black?

No. The only 6" Black series figure that has been shown is Luke.

Those other figures you're seeing were part of a canceled Droid Factory series, if I'm not mistaken - old stuff. No 3 3/4" Black Series figures have been shown yet, but from the sound of it they'll just be more of a continuation of the current vintage series - nothing on the level of the 6" Black Series figures.

No, those might be Black figures they're in front of the 3 3/4" Vader Black Series packaging. Definitely not the 6" lineup, though. Luke is the only one that's been shown so far.

I haven't collected 3 3/4" stuff since '05 or '06 but I'd be ticked that they're once again changing the packaging. The vintage packaging is by far the greatest SW toy packaging conceived. The OTC from '04 follows closely and pure nolstagia makes me quite fond of PotF2 (especially the red cards without the holograms).

They should have reserved this minimalist Black Series approach for the 6" figures.this is surely the most exciting thing for me Hasbro's done since PotF2 launched. Starting from scratch is gonna be great. I was a completist for 10 years. That likely added to my burnout and disdain for both SW and Hasbro. I'm gonna focus on core characters from the OT. Boba is the most obscure character I intend on getting. Haven't made my mind up about character variations yet. Luke X-Wing is my favorite look for the character so I'm set so far.

 

[Evil_Ash]

Yea, Luke x-wing and Luke Bespin were always my favorite looks for Luke. I hope they do a few looks for each of the OT characters.

****ing softgoods...

R2 and Sandtrooper look good though.

 

[Darth_Finger]

Cool looking figures

 

[Sachiel]

Supposedly the SDCC Exclusive is Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite.

 

[Bo Shrek]

I like R2 and Sandtrooper. Maul not looking to hot in that one picture...

 

[Red Metal]

Darth Maul: Still has the inaccurate lightsaber (blades should be longer) and I hope they lose the belt pin and just provider a second unlit saber. The softgoods sections don't look bad and help break-up the straight black color. Now, in the back it looks like there's a second headscult attached to a plastic cloaks that looks terrible. Plastic cloaks look terrible in 3.75" scale and they look even worse.

R2: Well, if Maul can come with a giant black shroud of plastic, then R2 can come with more accessories. I like what's shown so far, because he does have the PT side rockets, so it looks like it could be a complete version of the figure. If there's a serving tray, then this is the definitive 6" R2.

Sandie: Might be the best of the lot. Great dirt paint apps and the helmt looks solid.

Ok, R2 and Sandtrooper looks fantastic in these pics. Maul = easy pass

Supposedly the SDCC Exclusive is Boba Fett with Han Solo in carbonite.

Thanks; ok, anyone going to SDCC hook me up pretty please with sugar on top.

 

[Brinn 71]

BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for sharing those pics! I like what I see. VERY HAPPY with R2!!! I just hope his doors aren't so wonky on the final figure. Not interested in Maul.

Plastic cloaks look terrible in 3.75" scale and they look even worse.

Same goes for the soft-goods. I can't comprehend how somebody could think that skirt actually looks good.

Can't wait to see who else Hasbro ****s up with soft-goods.
