NEXT Star Wars 1/6th Figure...

[OSCORP]

No X-wing Luke yet?

K bye thx.

I've got mixed feelings on stuff like that. Example, Cody and the Gamorrean Guard, it was nice to get the teases last year so you knew how close to reality they were, but then the wait, a year for Gammy, possibly over a year for Cody if he's not part of SDCC, you start going ok, great, you're working on them, but how much longer will it be. I think I'd still prefer to know things will actually happen than to wonder if a certain figure will ever be more than a name scribbled on a list of candidates.

I know what you mean. Waiting can be annoying but at least we are assured of what we want is coming. That doesn't work so well with me... cause I want every and any figure possible!

On a serious note, I do miss the days of being slammed in the face by a real unexpected surprise. I remember that with the Rebel Trooper appearing at SDCC.

New Vader?

Yeah, I really want an improved ESB or ROTJ Vader. It may be next SDCC before we see that though.

Eh, as a perpetual SDCC non-attendee its always just waiting a year, clicking on a bunch of images, and seeing cool stuff. Whether I see them all at once or spread out over a few weeks makes little difference.

Definitely a bummer for the attendees waiting for that "Christmas morning" feeling though.

Meh, X-Wing Luke is one of the last figures on my list.

 

[lerath666]

so looks like yoda gets previewed tommorow.

Yep. Snowspeeder Luke for me. Kills two birds with one stone.

Attendence must be down for this year's show; economy and all. So maybe they thought it wiser to reveal everything online rather than make a big tada at the show itself.

I hope they hold something back for the show.

just the opposite... all passes to SDCC sold out months ago (in the 6 years that i have been going, i have never seen this happen).


reading through these posts, it dawned on me that the droids have gone ignored by SST... i mean, what is Star Wars without droids?

Wedge >> Luke.

They shouldn't bother with X-Wing pilots unless they do Wedge and Biggs along with Luke.

Eh... go the Hasbro route and just make a pilot suit body with alt heads and helmets of Luke, Biggs, and Wedge as a pack-in.

 

[devilof76]

I don't like Hasbro figures.

In the grand scheme of things, that's pretty amazing.

 

[The Josh]

yeah, it sold out a long while back. Never seen that before myself. I think they did this to ease some of the strain on the CS staff and floor staff during and post Con. Not to mention do a bit for those who can't go to SDCC.

 

[Billy Ray]

Hey, about what time have they been posting these?

 

[Lordscum]

Around lunch time here between noon and 1:00pm EST.

 

[Billy Ray]

Cool, thanks! Looks like a late night for me...this better be Yoda!

I completely misunderstood what you were saying. By 'Hasbro route' I thought you were recommending customizing Hasbro figures. My mistake.

But, no, I think they should make three distinct and separate figures.

(And don't forget Porkins)

No prob. I just think from time to time that SSC should explore something like HTs DX figures - by making something basic that could be dressed/designed in different appearances. Otherwise, I can see SSC milking the pilot idea like the Clones.

Then again, they might still be burned by the unpopularity of the Endor Troopers (plus, Rebel Fleet Trooper and Antilles) and may want to avoid Rebel based military.
