Got the processing notice today for BF.

I also looked at the GG photos with the small figure in the shot and I can't see a difference. Did they change the actual production piece from the proto? Are there any photos showing this? I hope this isn't the case, cause what's the point of going for nostalgia, but making it different? Anyway, I hope they make all the original figures up through Jedi. I really want the Biker Scout and obviously Boushh. Looking forward to 2-1B as well. He was my favorite ESB figure.

Same! Woohoo... blue snaggs is about to have company.

Interested to see how well the rocket fires (or how poorly.)

This is one figure I can't wait to get.

My Gamorrean should be here today.

Gammy is in the house! It's a very impressive figure compared to the other ones in this line that I've seen in person. I love the coin -- much better than I had expected. My bubble did get a bit crushed, unfortunately. I did a little writeup on my site if anyone is interested.

Hasbro should have just used the old Kenner mold and blown it up for their 12" Gammy - the body looks better on the jumbo. Shows what an amazing job Kenner did back in the day. Would be interested to see a "realistic" paint up of that jumbo vintage.

My credit card expired, so I haven't received mine yet. Had to correct that today.

Nice write-up, icruise!

Jeez if I pull the trigger on Tama 3PO, it will be GG rocket Boba, SSC Snowie and Threepio all in a week or two ($650...)

WOW they are up to 40 figures with new announcement...including all 6 Bounty Hunters and other ESB figs...I might end up with a few more of these...

I was gonna stop with the original 20/21 (including Fett), but I might pick up Yoda, a Snowtrooper and the Bounty Hunters to rep ESB. Also, I got the PGM Gammy, so if they make Ackbar, Biker Scout and Royal Guard I'll get those to rep ROTJ. That'd make for a nice collection and display with these figures, IMHO.

The ROTJ figs - and POTF figs - would be awesome in this line. The sculpts by then were getting really quite good for the era. The feet on the Kenner Gammy have a sculpt that is about as good as the much later 12" Hasbro Gammy - pretty incredible. Love to see some of Jabba's goons in Kenner 12".

By the look of that GG release sheet, these figs must be selling pretty well.

after seeing this pic, the only thing that would have made these figures better, would have been to include the actual 3 3/4 figure as well.

I love your vintage figures in the background, especially the carded POTF figures.
