I also got Vader's TIE fighter at Walmart. They had all of wave 3 at TRU and now that I've seen the movie I picked up Rey. She looks a lot better than the earlier figures I have seen going back to Force Friday and it is a nicely done toy but the wrist articulation could've been better.

Celtic Predator finally arrived in the mail. Unlike the Force Awakens I really don't like AVP as a movie at all. Having said that I was young enough to be suckered into thinking AVP would be cool before it came out and I came to like Celtic's design. Needless to say I was severely disappointed with him in the movie, actually I was just disappointed with everything in that movie. On the plus side Celtic way outlasted Chopper (by like two minutes) and actually did something. This toy however is excellent and reminds me that the design has many elements that are pretty cool, mainly the mask. It's no more than half an inch taller than the usual NECA pred, it is therefor notably bigger but not stupidly bigger. This new body has better articulation and is much more playable that any predator to come before. As it is I am very comfortable with the typical NECA predator's articulation because it allows you do some pretty nice varying poses and still looks very solid and pleasing. Celtic can do more dynamic poses and still looks great doing it BUT this is only because he has enough armor plates to hide these added joints so I still really don't want NECA to add a torso joint to their Jungle/City hunter bodies since those guys couldn't hide it at all and I prefer them looking as good as possible.

Since your the first person I have seen to post him out of the box, I have to ask, will the Red Skull's head from the Winter Soldier Marvel Legends series fit on Hux's body? I have came close to picking it up for that head swap purpose, but I just can't justify it in the event it doesn't fit...
