Hasbro appreciation thread.

Nice to see Hasbro finally besting the vintage Gammy, pretty sad their last effort came up short of that, the paint was nice but the sculpt was too He-Man-esque, this looks to be quite accurrate.

I can't wait to get this.

 

[Khev]

Why the heck didn't they do this vintage packaging before? It's so much better than the dozens of variations that they've been going through IMHO.

Yep. To me its like 3.75 inch SW toys have been on hiatus since 1985 and are JUST NOW starting up again. Finally.

 

[MaulFan]

I like how the portrait on this looks like the Kenner ROTJ Luke.

 

[Valfar]

Yea it kind of does but, what i like even better is the fact he has ball joints at the hips now and that body is the best sculpt for a ROTJ Luke yet, very proportionate.

I think i am going to have to own all these vintage carded figures.

for sure this year, Hasbro is going some nice work on the 3.75 inch line... The ROTJ looks fantastic and we finaly see a great looking admiral ackbar and jedi luke...

Some Vintage Collection info from Hasbro's SW panel (courtesy of Rebelscum.com):

Warrick (no longer a 2-pack, but he will come with his animated accessories), Wedge Antilles (X-Wing Pilot)

- Target will get exclusive vintage packaging for the TIE Fighter and Snowspeeder

Star Wars Vintage Collection Series

Who all is collecting the vintage style Star Wars figs that have been out and are coming out?

I myself only have:
MOC Scout Trooper
MOC George Lucas in Trooper Gear
Greedo (opened for sticker)
X-wing Pilot Luke (opened for sticker)
Tusken Raider (opened for sticker)
Han in Endor Gear (opened for sticker)
Boba Fett MOC
Bossk MOC
IG-88 MOC
4 Lom MOC
Dengar MOC

I'm wanting all Bounty hunters on the vintage style cards, just need Zuckuss to complete it. Second set of the vintage figs is for opening.

Anyone know what saga legends are usable for the Rocket Firing Boba Fett? I think the Saga figs in the pic are good for the promo, but would hate to send it off and then find out they are no good.

Re: Star Wars Vintage Collection Series

I haven't seen these in person yet but did think about buying them. Then a friend told me the cardbacks are very flimsy this time around and damage very easy, plus they cost more than last time and came in a protective case then. So I think I am going to pass and focus on 1/6th and PF's. Good luck to everybody getting them .

Damn misleading thread title...

 

[Khev]

I believe it was reported on Rebelscum that that the Hasbro Panel made mention of there being 37 total figures planned for the Vintage Collection Series. A pretty manageable number, considering.

 

[Memnoch]

That's just basic figures. Add in exclusives and that number rocketss

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

The pictures of the Gammy from the hasbro presentation look 100 times better than the ones from wednesday night.

Thats a releif!

 

[icruise]

Do you have a link to it?

 

[MaulFan]

Wow, if they all shipped like that, that'd be awesome, but I would think the floor samples are closer to reality.

[icruise]

Holy cow that looks better than Sideshow's 1/6 version! I agree that the production ones won't come close to that, though.

 

[Memnoch]

What the hell is that saying JANUARY?! The floor tags say November. I can't wait that effing long.

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

Thanks Maulfan. The picture taken by rebelscum at the con doesn't look that good.
