Ya thats what I figure and if they turn out horrible your not out much its not like we would be cutting up and repainting 150+ figures.

Hmm, that answers a lot of questions.

Is there actually a market for deliberately limited figures like this?

Ok that scraps my idea for making background clones out of them just not worth the energy I would be better off buying SSC phase 1 clones and repainting/stripping them to white.

So, they're in scale with Medicom, then.

What? Someone had to say it.

No you didn't.

LOL

But seriously, the Medicom clones are in scale to the SSC clones.

Irish, it's nice to have you back in the SW area.

Blame Kathleen Kennedy and company.

Now maybe you'll come to the next Celebration.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, most likely.

 

[Darth Waller]

I'm still waiting for my ride in the landspeeder!

 

[IrishJedi]

Maybe we can make it happen in Death Valley where they actually filmed the long moving shots.

 

[Darth Waller]

That would be pretty sweet.

Another embarassing line from Hasbro. Really I don't expect this to last past wave two. Annie and the Clone will pegwarm hard and the next two after will be the last.

I mean, maybe back in the '80s this would have been fine, but what kid is going to want these? And sure they match the GG 12" Vintage style line, but it's just not the same with the PT figures. Reminds me of the recent DS Star Trek Mego figures - sure the OS ones did ok, but Picard and Borg are shelfwarming hard because it just doesn't work. Old style with new material just looks wrong.

Agreed, this is embarrassing. Whoever pushed this line at Hasbro should be getting pointed and laughed at.

I really think they were trying to push against GG's Vintage line but this is a FAIL!

They should have remade the 70's 12" figures instead.

 

[IrishJedi]

They are absolutely completely missing the point and appearl of the GG Jumbo Vintage figures.

If I want to feel nostalgic about the prequels, I'll go eat at Taco Bell and then punch myself in the face for 2 hours.
