See, I can't explain it, but I do too. And I'm not a Fett fan, and am cold on the whole SW thing. Weird.

I'm cold on the Star Wars thing, generally, but I am a Fett fan, and I want that even more now. It feels weird to say as somebody who usually opens his figures, but I fucking LOVE the packaging on that.

It looks cool, but it looks exactly like the 3 3/4" figure. If I couldn't see the knee joint I'd swear that's what it was. . That's pretty much been my reaction all of them shown so far. For the inflated price I expect better.

I'm fine with Fett looking like the 3 3/4" figure. The ones I've seen looked nice, but I don't like that scale, so I always avoided them.

They should focus on the OT and forget young Obi Wan or any of the prequel characters.

^ I agree with this, but I'd still buy Jango Fett if they made one. And I already have Maul ordered from Amazon...
But except for those two, they should stick to OT.

I have no idea what the purchase numbers are of 3.75" prequel characters to original, so maybe peppering prequel names in there makes perfect sense for them. But I think a line that is probably going to be more desirable to older fans and collectors would focus more on what they know will absolutely sell in order to build a strong base. Then they can go from there. But really, young Obi Wan? Boring.
But I find that Dagobah Luke very appealing.

It would seem like a no-brainer, but they'll squeeze the cash for the separate figure.

Okay, no Yoda pack-in, but he should have an alternate head with a black eye and that hand better pop off.

*dies from embarrassment* No need to get embarrassed, just be more careful next time. This is some serious shit we're talking about.

Okay, no Yoda pack-in, but he should have an alternate head with a black eye and that hand better pop off. That was the first thing I said when they leaked the lineups for wave 2 and 3 a few weeks back. They have an alt head and a pop-off hand, I will buy it as soon as I see it. I think that would be a kick-ass gimmick for the figure to have. I also agree with you frin, they should keep the prequel figures to a minimum at best. There are a couple characters that I might be interested in (like Maul, Qui-Gon, and Plo Koon), but this line needs to be OT-heavy overall. I would have much preferred Alec-Obi to Ewan-Obi.
