I think I've only seen Luke with R2 - has anyone posed him with, say the Gamorrean Guard or other Hasbro figures? I know Hasbro 3PO is too tall to go with him, but I'd be curious about figures.

I'd LOVE the chance to paint up Hasbro's Gamorrean so that it is worthy to stand next to SSC Luke. Out of the box, he looks horrible, but I've a suspicion he's magnificent given some TLC. But I can't get up the courage to spend the doe on him right now.

I can't think of too many Hasbro figs that wouldn't look ridiculous next to Luke. Most of the quality Hasbro stuff comes from the prequel lines.

Maybe The Emperor, his guards, and Bib Fortuna wouldn't look so bad next to him. I'd take pics of such a line-up, but sadly, anything that says Hasbro on it has been cut up, repainted, altered, etc. So it wouldn;t be accurate to what your asking for.

Come to think of it, I seem to have nothing to contribute here. Sorry.:D
 
The Gamorrean guard does have horrible paint, but the sculpt isn't that bad. If I can dig it out I'll take some pictures.

I've posted this one before, but in case you missed it, this is the VOTC Fett.

I picked one up on ebay for six bucks a couple weeks ago. I think by the time he got here it only cost me $11.

My local KB has it still for $20.
 
TRU had the Hasbro Boba Fett for 15.99 the other day....almost bit
 
Hasbro Rules!!!!
Ok, now before you get out the rope and start looking for the nearest tree, look at it this way.
The early, HOF bodied, versions of Star Wars were terrible. Some decent enough stuff, but overall....fodder.
They decided, for whatever reason to "partner" the license out to Sideshow. This is garnering some very nice, albeit long armed, versions of these iconic characters.
But, Sideshow will never make the entire Star Wars universe. So, Hasbro's offerings make the best way to outfit an army of Jedi, Stormtroopers, Tusken Raiders, etc....
Especially if you utilize the later issue characters unis and accessories. The Jedi garb from episodes 1-3 is far better than 4-6. Yes some of the gear is oversized, but for background characters it works just fine.
Anyway, I searched for a while to find some good in Hasbro and thats what I was able to come up with. :D
 
Hasbro in my book is a totally differant animal. Their products, for whats it's worth were nice. Nothing really special, but I would have to agree, that SSC probably won't be making everything as Hasbro has, but again, two totally differant animals.................
theverse

BTW, I believe Hasbro made some very nice droids..................
 
I took a quick pic on my way out the door after seeing this post, sorry it's not great (got a new camera this weekend haven't figured out the digital zoom yet). Anyway yeah the Hasbro 3PO is taller than SS Luke, but if you pose him behind R2 with his legs bent a bit you can pull it off, at least til a SS version appears. Anyway, here it is.

I recently purchased a TRU Exclusive Electronic C-3po r2-d2 two pack to pose with my SS Luke. From previous pics posted with these figs posed, this seems the best way to go for now.
 
I just won a Gamorrean Guard for $10, so I guess I'll see for myself. And just watching Jedi the other night, it does appear that 3PO and Luke are the same height, so the Hasbro and SSC Luke do go well together, I guess.

You can't go wrong for 10 bucks.

Here's a pic of the unfortunate Captain Solo.

 
CarboHan works well, but I have a feeling we might see that as an accessory/environment from SSC. But just in case I better seek him out.

He's another one you can get pretty cheap on ebay.

Is that a hint Dave or just a hunch? I know Rebelscum's Dave tends to throw hints out. There Dave isn't more "in the in" that our Dave is he? :(
 
Just a hunch, not a hint - you wouldn't like me when I hint. I get really big and green and mean. ...and that's not a hint either...
