Its BUBO

[Seaward]

It looks like the leather harness on Bubo is a seperate piece! Sweet! That is some cool attention to detail, and some unnecessary extra sculpting for a background guy like Bubo. I hope he has a little more to add to the throne display, but I can't wait for this guy! I love ILM creatures!

Kit, please step off the ledge. I'm sure a real announcement will be coming shortly. Think of this as just a tide me over until Toy Fair.

I am not on the ledge. Not surprised at all. Just disappointed. Oh well, I will still get it to go with the jabba set up, but I was really hoping to kick 2007 off with a bigger announcement than this "character".

So if he has the chain, and the collar, won't he need someone to hold it? I am almost positive we will see another character involved.

Slave Leia? How about OOla?

But wouldn't that be a Jawa?

In that case they would have called it a "Jawa Creature Pack" and everybody would be jumping up and down with glee right now.


EDIT: Maybe the Jawa is the Sideshow exclusive--then it will be the retailers jumping up and down with glee.

 

[Memnoch]

I dunno but now I realllly want the stairs he is chained to, and that the droids and Bib come down.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I think the Hoover is a good possiblity.

Hoover does seem to be the best bet.

Unless they put some made-up thing like that mini-varactyl whatever in.

Do you see now why I said that before, Tom?

It doesn't take long...

 

[Seaward]

I'm still giddy with glee, Bubo isn't a disappointment at all, and I can't wait the month until Toy Fair to see what comes next!

Pack:

A group of people or things

OR

Compressed into a pack; packed



I'm trying to decide if the term "pack" implicitly means more than one item or not. If they are just using "pack" in the sense of a package, then it could just be Bubo. I'm not convinced that their referring to it as a creature pack guarantees us more than one creature inside. Let's be prepared just in case it's only Bubo.

I think it has got to be more then one thing. When I hear pack, I don't think of just one guy or creature.
I can't wait to see what else he'll come with.

That's crazy talk!!!

I aree. Even though in the grand scheme of things, this really won't matter and those who don't want Bubo can simply pass over him. But seeing as how it is the 30th anniversary, I don't know if it was the wisest marketing move. The Star Wars line has been slowly ebbing with lame announcements. My 2 cents.

Well the dwarf varactyl is what Worrt eats in his closeup in the movie.

I'd love it if he came with a couple of sculpted tiles to represent Jabba's Trap Door Floor. I've been thinking about how to make those myself for the display.

Well, I'm guessing the inclusive/exclusive will be itty bitty things, a hoover would be great but it isn't itty bitty... or do I not know what a hoover is?

Lame to you, Commander, not to this forum. This forum is now the ultimate power in the universe!! I suggest we buy it.

I thought it was a sand skitter?

 

[screamingmetal]

Remember this...

We got two of these guys now...could B'omaar Monk be in the cards?

Not in this "pack"... but maybe some day.

I hope so, the B'omaar Monk is just too cool to skip. If they can make a creature I haven't heard of or really noticed on screen (Bubo), they have to make a B'omaar Monk which I clearly remember seeing.
Then I want a Amanaman.

 

[The Josh]

That would be cool. Would make for an interesting exclusive figure.
