Yes, the line is getting boring. And this figure can hardly be called interesting. Too expensive, boring character, goofy character design (granted, not SSC's fault), little accessories, ... . All in all a poor choice. Not that the accessories play a role in whether I buy a figure or not, but at this price, the figure should have at least the same extent of delivery as equally (over)priced figures.
I'm getting the impression that SSC is flogging a dead horse. I for one am a bit weary of tertiary characters and overhauled re-issues. I even start to feel that a (presumably) big hit like the armoured Vader will not change this. Because, what's coming after the first armoured Vader? A second one from an other film? And then a third? Come on, how many ways are there to suck the money out of our pockets, and then still continue to claim "we are fans ourselves"?
