HT Chubby's series 2 + Jumbo Jango Chubby

[wookster]

I said when the last wave hit I couldn't believe they didn't give us a Stormtooper/Clone, well here it is (amongst others).

Here's my old review for series 1 Vader-

And this time round they have magnetic feet, so my only real issue has been resolved.

Wow. I got to have the Stormtrooper.

They look cute and awesome. Unfortunately for me, I won't be getting any of these.

I need to reserve my limited shelf space for my SW and LOTR 1:6 figures. Not forgetting also that I have an Indy Jones on pre-order with SS.

 

[Captain Faramir]

I have the Obi-Wan set and it's actually pretty cool. I never thought I would get any of these but when I saw it on the shelf I couldn't say no.

 

[galactiboy]

Those are pretty cool, I always meant to get the Vader but never got around too it. Now maybe I'll go for a Vader and 2 stormies.

What help are the magnetic feet?

 

[bcm77]

I like the Fetts but as with the previous series I can't help but feel that Hot Toys considerable talents are wasted on things like this unless they are something of a test run by Lucasfilm to see how they handle the license.

 

[Agent0028]

The Luke one looks pretty cool. I wouldn't mind getting that one and the Vader one and the Obi-Wan one but I don't think I really have any room for them.

 

[Elder_Predator2]

I like the Chubby jango.

 

[icruise]

I love these. The ones I like the best are the ones that show some sort of progression, like the Anakin one that has him as a little boy for the smallest figure, as Anakin the Jedi knight, and then as Darth Vader. Some of the other ones don't seem to make as much sense, but they're all cute.

I have the jumbo Darth Vader chubby on its way to me from BBTS (it's on clearance) and I also have these on preorder. The magnetic feet are definitely a good addition, although I would have also liked to see a way for the feet to be stored inside the figure when you have them put together.

Does anyone know for sure if the Jumbo versions also have the nesting feature, or are they basically just single figures?

 

[zoid2323]

Not sure if i'll get them but they're pretty cool.

 

[PosterBoyKelly]

I never got any from the first wave, but totally want to. I gotta get the Sith and Vader set along w/the big Vader, but as for the new wave I want Luke, Clone/Stormys and the Fetts. No need for a big Jango though.

Fun stuff.

 

[icruise]

I got my Jumbo Darth Vader chubby today, and to answer my own earlier question, he is just Vader with nothing inside (although you can remove the helmet to see old Anakin's face). I'm a little disappointed, since one of the main draws of the chubbies is their "nesting" feature. He does have the magnetic feet, though. The one I ordered from BBTS was labeled an SDCC "first edition" and was actually numbered (on the box) #446 out of 1000, which kind of surprised me.

Cool, I have to say I thought they would have the nesting feature, but thinking back there was no mention of it in the spec. I bet it still looks pretty sweet though.

 

[icruise]

Here are a couple of pictures. (The Squirt can is for scale.) I think he looks better without the helmet, actually.

 

[Puay]

Bought these yesterday. Just realise the photos are out of focus, do pardon my poor photography skill. I am no MaulFan, hah hah. Never the less here they are. I specially like the troopers.

 

[wookster]

I got a set too, just sent the review off last week to Michael, here are a few pics-

 

[Puay]

Wow. How well taken photos can make world of a difference. HT will never sell any of these with my images. Hah hah.

Jango looks great. I got to get one!

 

[wookster]

Cheers Puay, but don't sell yourself short, the more pics the better.
I still only use an old Fujifinepix, but I'm so used to how it performs now, I can just about get it to do what I want...well... most of the time.

 

[galactiboy]

Man, those removable helmets look really good... especially Vaders

I think I'll try and track down the ewoks, that set looks really cool
