SW Q&A UP

[user 1190]

how does that seeley print look in person bro?

Like Crap man why did you by want that

No its awsome. I would have gone for it had I not already bought way to much art.

Scout trooper first.

Scout body is articluated a lil because with 3 point articulation and no the body is not ABS I asked about that.

No exclusive.

They have been working on this for years

Snowbunny Padme
It is delayed due to the body but they are close to showing us her. They have reworked the female body for this. The thin thigh fitting costume was sucking into gaps but body changes have been made to fix this.

Diorama

They showed us a concept for a Sandtrooper one with like 3 around the escape pod. It looked really cool and I was ready to order it based on the drawing. I was told later that they are not sure when this might be made its just a concept, but they fell they have some even better ones coming.

12" figures

They have the first 2 pack coming soon.

They have some big releases coming soon.

They plan to have a big military push next year and army builders thing.
How they plan to handle edition numbers they are still working on.

Armored figures. They are coming along they didn't say much else.

All of the people from the UE poll they want to do at some time thats why they were picked.

There won't be Emma/MJ type female characters for sure.


1:1 Busts
They have some more human type bust coming but not human was my impression.

The draw of Greedo and Bossk is to make busts that show the details of these that were lost in the original masks from the movie.

I asked about helmeted busts and they cant say anything at this time since MR still has it at this point.

It's about time they did something about those huge gaps in the hips. I hope they've fixed it on the male bodies too.

 

[Memnoch]

Sooo did they say who was in that 2 pack? Is one short, white and blue and the other tall and shiny?

No they didnt, what I told you is what they told us. We all assume that but you never know with SS they could come out of left field.

Sweet news! 2 pack huh? The most obvious I can think of is R2 and 3PO. A Tarkin and Dooku would be cool, but strange for those that don't get the conection.


SIDESHOW! Here is my solution to the army builder editions:
-open ended (ie NOT limited edition)
-limit of 100 or something like that for each figure
-continue to make the figure(s) for years and years to statisfy long-term demand

This of course really only applys to Imperial Troops and Clones (ie identical army builders) and not Rebel type troops since they all should have unique headsculpts like the Endor guys.

 

[user 1190]

Ohh yeah I forgot I had one bit of bad news. Chewy unless there is a miracle will not be made. They said they have looked at this and a full fur version is just not do able. They sounded very sure its dead but I will hold on to a lil hope.

 

[Amanaman]

Clone Commanders and other more individual types should remain limited. Just make the faceless grunts open-ended.. or perhaps a "1 year inclusive" edition, to make sure everyone who wanted one (or a dozen) got them.

The concern is if they make to many they will become bargin bin items and they are not a large shop to do huge runs. They seem to want to find a happy medium keep the number under control but also make them available.

 

[Amanaman]

That's where a super-inclusive edition will work. Keep it open ended for a long period until sales drop off, then cut it there. That way, they won't over-produce or cheapen the quality.

 

[MaulFan]

I know everyone wants R2 and 3PO for the 2 Pack, but it'd be cool to get a Bespin/Dagobah Luke and Yoda 2-Pack as well, or, since Old Ben is coming Solo, Vader/Tarkin or Vader/Palpatine, plenty of solid 2packs that could be made, even a ROTS Burnt Anakin (good for sculpting challenge) and Vader 2 Pack would be cool.

 

[The Josh]

Very intersting news. The 2 pack sounds cool for something like the droids or Luke/Yoda as well. I'm hoping the army building will be more clones and OT trooper oriented. If I was gonna buy more than 1 it would be armored related than non.

 

[Amanaman]

I think Vader and the Emperor won't benefit from a 2-pack. They're both strong A-listers, and can sell alone. Lando and Lobot, on the other hand, are the perfect pair.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Maybe the 2 pack will be Ani and Jar Jar *dodges rotten tomatoes*

 

[user 1190]

Could be a two pack of Jawas? Those guys always seem to be in two packs, Well except the originals.

 

[Amanaman]

Jawas need a child-sized body, if they have that ready..

Any word on the newer bodies, though?

 

[Agent0028]

Tarkin and Vader would make a pretty cool two pack.

What's the connection between Tarkin and Dooku Buttmunch?

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

If it ain't R2 and 3PO, Han and Chewie or Dagobah Luke and Yoda, I don't really see the point of a 2 pack.
