NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[jedibear]

After seeing how well CW Anakin turned out, I'd really appreciate them giving ROTS Anakin another go...anything to replace that godawful Kabuki nightmare...

And yes...let's see a TPM Padawan Kenobi...heck, it's one of the few characters that would actually look good scale-wise on the Pro, especially next to Qui-Gon (except for that ugly neck-piece)...

Pro with a sculpted neck would make my day.

I think I'd be in for a new ANH Leia too. I'm betting whatever they do for an ESB Leia will blow it out of the water.

I don't think we'll see a Leia until they figure out what they're gonna do with updating the female Buck and since they're working on armored characters now, and unique bodies for the aliens, that could be a long while.

 

[devilof76]

If it's that long, then the new one will definitely blow the old one away, and there'll be no choice but to repeat (eventually). Just like Jedi Luke and Bespin Han.

EDIT: actually,the only reason I'd want a new Jedi Luke is so he could lose the limitations of the Buck. I'd prefer to see a new Bespin Luke, though neither is really a priority. Bespin Han and ANH Leia are the ones that stand out most (and she's not that bad; the dress is rough though).

He easily ports over to the Pro if you wanna go that route.

As far as an updated ANH Leia, unless they come up with a better dress there's no point, sure the head could be improved on but I always felt the dress is what dropped that figure down, the collar not being attached to it and the frayed edge, thin, cheap material and the whole flow of it just doesn't work. Not saying there's much they could do about that, I don't know, but if all a new figure would ammount to is same dress just better body and head, doesn't seem worth doing to me.

I'd love to see ROTS Obi-Wan revisited with a Clonobi quality paint job. As far as ROTS Anakin, the paint on the head doesn't bother me, but with how nice CW Anakin's guantlet design works, I'd like to see ROTS done in that style to enhance the pose possiblities with the saber. The only other revisit I can think of is Darth Maul, just because he'd benefit from the posability of the Pro, especially a jointed neck, and since it'd be a repeat, maybe they could do a portrait like the 1:1 bust.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yup, we need a new ANH Leia. The current one sucks. Give us a new ROTS Anakin, Jedi Luke and Bespin Han & Luke, too.

Yes, that would be excellent!

Unfortuantely, I think it's safe to say, if they didn't do it for Palpatine, they're not going to do it ever. While Palpatine looks ok, I still think he'd look even better with a sculpted neck and they didn't go for it.

 

[devilof76]

I would have thought the Dead that made it onto the Pro would have been givens for a sculpted neck too.

I thought they did do a sculpted neck for Palpatine. The Punk from The Dead had one.


Edit: Just checked. Palps has a separate neck, but it IS sculpted.

 

[MaulFan]

Yes, but you know that's not what's being referred to here

 

[Platty]

So yeah, we need an Episode 1 Obi wan!!!!

 

[unsung hero]

So yeah, we need an Episode 1 Obi wan!!!!

I didn't feel like waiting...

 

[MaulFan]

So yeah, we need an Episode 1 Obi wan!!!!

And hopefully they go with this style for his hair.

 

[unsung hero]

And hopefully they go with this style for his hair.

Agreed! And not this one...

 

[fantasymaker]

Obi episode 1 is the man no doubt , but i like to see a Han solo in Hoth gear , i love this figure , i had the version of Hasbro and some time ago I wait for the SSC .

 

[DarthNeil]

I didn't feel like waiting...

Me neither...



But I'd happily buy another if SSC were to release him-- that way I could pose him in his robes with my second Qui Gon like this (and still keep my duel of the fates going)--





I'd also really like to see (from the PT) in the next few announcements:

Anakin (Ep II)
Padme (Ep II- Geonosis Arena)
Dooku
and obviously Jango.

 

[Anzik]

I don't want Padme until they make a new female body.

 

[DarthNeil]

I don't want Padme until they make a new female body.

Good point-- and I agree 100%... Hopefully she'll be the figure to preview with a new (and fantastically improved) body.
