Phew! I just got my figures at work and I almost never open them here. Given these reports, I did, expecting the worst and I'm glad to report mine are totally fine in regards to paint.

I'm much too embarassed to show my shoddy dremel work (the majority of my demel experience is "fixing" shallow Hasbro figure heads to reduce giraffe populations), but the idea is to sand down the spacers around the post. It took me about 40 minutes with a my copy of Chronicles opened to the...

Too bad to hear about the loose joints. I was pleasantly surprised that all of mine were nice and tight and hoped it meant they'd worked out the "kinks" from the earlier figurs.

Got my non-exclusive shipping notice last night.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (SPOILERS) Last week I had nothing better to do but watch the "behind the scenes" features from the Clone Wars movie DVD. I was a little surprised that the first feature was about describing the themes behind the episodes and not the movie. I was getting into it...

The only reason I can think for that would be that his ROTS outfit would have been too dark. Although it seems that if he was wearing his cloak it wouldn't look bad. For that matter, they could gave gone with the somewhat lighter AOTC outfit but a regular Jedi cloak. I say this will full...

In regards to AOTC Anakin, isn't his costume basically the same as ROTS but differently colored? And of course that weird cloak.

No, not even then. But I do like the idea of the set. The maximum I'd spend on it though would be $500. And that would be a hard sell.

I'd be on board with a $200 ROTS Vader. What could possibily justify another $75? A burned Anakin figure with removable mechanical legs and arms as shown on the operating table.

I think it has to do with the choices of exclusive. As EVILFACE said, they should just be "nice to have" instead of "must have". To me, exclusives that fall under "nice to have" includes: Stormtrooper blaster. Kit Fisto's droid head. Anakin's Sideous hologram. They're cool, but as a fan of the...

I'd hesitate to bet on one over the other. Now that they have both a Clone Trooper body and Stormtrooper body and head, they can quickly/cheaply open the floodgates either way with: Sandtrooper Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise Han in Stormtrooper Disguise AOTC Clone AOTC Clone Pilot ARC Trooper...

I was hoping for a pink pauldron.

It's what happens to the Jango clones when they get too old to be Stormtroopers.

Interesting. I just ordered a regular edition trooper to go with the exclusive. Comparing the three order numbers, I get (rounding to be paranoid): Ex Vader - Ex Stormtrooper = 1600 Ex Stormtrooper - Regular Stormtrooper = 2200 Or roughly 3800 orders from Vader through my Regular...

I hate to say it but I see more David Attell in that shot than Harrison Ford.

To be fair, this is a problem of Sideshow in general. I don't know if it's the use of the Buck body or something else but they apparently disregard any kind of reference, whether its a Lucasfilm shot or even one from, well anyone in life, of the correct position of belts. In proportion to a...

Great review and pictures as usual! My only nit? It's not "Senator Palpatine". It's "Chancellor Palpatine".

In TPM Anakin was revealed as having more midichorians than any Jedi, including Yoda. By telling Yoda that Vader would be more powerful than either, Sideous revealed that he knew this and was including himself to that scale too. As for knowledge, his goal was to pass that Anakin. Having the...

I'm afraid I can't buy either of these ideas. Tarkin is also an ANH figure that would go better with ANH Leia than Praji. As for the 30th anniversary figures, I'd believe that if they weren't so spaced out and if it included perhaps the most iconic ANH figure of them all; Luke Skywalker. I...

I'd love to be a fly on the wall to their planning meetings. Why do we get Commander Praji before Tarkin? Why ANH Han Solo/ANH Leia before Bespin Lando? The choices are mind-boggling to me.
