I have GOT to pick up Vader and Sidious vs. Yoda when these are released! They look BAD ASS

Vader looks like he's falling down the stairs.
the Yoda/Sidious one is great.
Yeah, I'll stick with the two Vader's that I already have. I'll definitely pick up the other two though. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
I'll be giving in and getting the Vader one.
I have tried to stay away from them, gave in on the Yoda way back when.
I picked up the Obi-Anakin ones from ROTS since I am not getting into the figure collecting SO much for this movie....
I'll get Vader and most likely be done with it. Although, I have had second thoughts about not picking up the Luke, but none they have released have caught my eye enough
Yeah, Vader looks like a cowboy [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I have the original Vader & (Thanks to Q-man)Varient figures.
I'm definitely all over the Assaj Ventress and Yoda Vs. Sidious. The latest Vader .. well, I'm a bit iffy on that one. The one negative about the otherwise fantastic 'Unleashed' figure line is that they are a tad soft. I could see that Vader very easily developing a lean that would make him look like he was falling down the stairs. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Well I've only got the one vader, so I need me another one.. I didn't get Palpatine when I had the chance, and I'm always up for more Yoda, so the Sidious vs. Yoda is perfect for me, especially since it pits them against eachother and is made that way, kinda like Anakin and Obi are (And actually are reversable, so you can pose them as fighting eachother on Mustafar, or put the lava away, flip the bases over and pose them fighting back to back against unseen Droids)
Luke is well worth it, I think they captured him best in his first version, the RotJ version with him slashing forward and a big green arch as though he's moving so fast you're seeing a trail of light behind the saber..
saw those the other day in my fiance's magazine... we decided we will definitely get them [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
The only real issues I have with all of these, is that the clear plastic will become yellowed and cloudy with time.. they maybe have a good looking shelf life of 5 years or so.

Open them [img]wink.gif[/img]
the more i think about it, the less sense star wars makes.... like it was all made up as it went along and told out of order or something....
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I partly agree with you.Quote:

On completely clear plastic, it can look VERY bad.. I have some model kits from 10 years ago, and you'd think they molded the plastic in yellow tint!
That said, my Necroplasm spawn has actually held up pretty well, but he does look "fogged" some. I'm afraid to look at my clear blue angela...

Empire strikes bck still holds up well, and keeps your attention.
Return of the Jedi just gets boring for some reason in the middle.. maybe it's the ewoks fault?
Episode Is just bad.. you can see the Georgie boy just lost what he had originally intended.
Episode II starts to get back to "grass roots" some, and actually holds up fairly well. probably my second favorite next to Empire.
I'm hoping Episode III builds on that a little more.

Garee Do you smoke? The clear plastic on my Yoda Unleashed has no signs of age or fogging, and we don't smoke inside.
I love Star Wars, it's FANTASY. I try not to make sense out of it, because fantasy readily ever makes sense.. Don't try to put logic into something that was made up.
Episode 1 isn't too bad, if you take it how it is.. It was meant to show the finding and START of Darth Vader. Noone really shoulda thought it would be like the originals. Episode II was getting more in touch and in pace because you didn't have a child in the mix, and was geared a little closer to an older audience. Episode III will probably be right there with the originals, and possibly more so because it is the final culmination of what everyone wanted to see.. How Vader became Vader. And the fact it's the only one with a higher rating then the rest of the movies.

And is he 5, 10, or 15 years old, like I was talking about?? Um, NO! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Go into a vintage toy store, and look at the toys. Something from, say 1985 or before. Then tell me plastic doesn't yellow over time.
Or better yet, google vintage toys on ebay, and look at them. He-Man, Major Matt Mason, something with some years on it.
(BTW my stuff is smoke free, and I usually try to keep it out sunlight, to make it last a little longer.)
>>>Episode 1 isn't too bad, if you take it how it is.. It was meant to show the finding and START of Darth Vader. Noone really shoulda thought it would be like the originals.
So um, changing the target audience from sci-fi fans to Kiddies was a good idea? Can you say Jar Jar? Sure you can!
Maybe a Kiddie themed Spawn series would be a good thing then as well??
Storyteller? My ass Lucas had no idea where to go with these movies beyond the second movie. Making up as he goes along? Most definitely.
To keep it toy related Unleashed is the only line of SW that I try to keep up with. The first Darth Vader is the best. It is also more sturdy than the interchangable head version.
If lucas had the sory outline when he made the first film, luke would have never kissed Leia...
And she would never have kissed him in ESB...
Incest and Dismemberment is what SW is all about!
In Ep3 you find out that Yoda is Han Solo's father...
Never said Lucas was a story teller, lol.
And the whole stupid crap about the kissing fiasco.. Now... I've heard of people kissing their siblings before and never knew they were their siblings.. It has happened, why can't it happen in the span of a series of movies? Say for just a moment he did think about more then one or two movies and had the whole thing planned out.. Did Luke know at any point in time until RotJ that Leia was his sister? No. Did she know he was her brother until then? No. If they had known, (unless they are incestious) would they have kissed like that? Probably not. But they didn't know.
I'm just hoping EpIII will explain the Klingons...
I have a (loose) clear Time Traveller from 1976 who is still crystal clear.
alas, he won't be that was for long, with us smoking... [img]redface.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sorry AoD. My comment was aimed at Lucas not you or your post. You see in an interview he said he saw himself as a storyteller rather than a filmmaker. He kept going on and on about how it's all in the story.Quote:

I came in this thread expecting a picture of an alien attacker ship from Independence Day. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The Klingons were explained several episodes ago on Enterprise... Eugenics war... Klingon experiments... airborne virus... human host antibodies (or something like that) with side effects that removed the cranial ridges. Ta Da! Tanned dudes with bushy eyebrows all prepped and ready for Kirk.Quote:

Oh, ok. Now what about the space herpes?
