Maybe he got bailed out by the guy that changed his nam to Optimus Prime.

But...to Toys!
Anyone got that comic two-pack with the two Mandalorian guys? Or even really good view of those figs? I was thinking of getting them but I want to know how unique each is- or if they're just re-colored Boba fetts or something?
The removable helmets are cool but it's the cool looking-- and unique- heads that I really desire for customs (I'm learning to cast resin stuff heads so I can make customs without sacrificing the donor fig's head).

It's amazing how much cooler the SW figs not based on actual actors are!

I don't have much to add. I don't own many Star Wars figures any more, though that will change once the articulation is finally at a level I can appreciate. It's getting there. And the sculpts are improving.

I loved the Force Unleashed games, and I started playing the Old Republic for the first time a few days ago. Very fun. Star Wars is so much better in the hands of intelligent writers.

Of the ones that I do own, HK-47 is by far my favorite.

from KOTOR? I loved that droid.

Iceman · 05-01-2012, 05:23 PM

KOTOR is awesome. I haven't been able to find HK-47 at a decent price.

Yessir!

Although I hear he has a cameo in the new Old Republic MMO, as well? Can't wait to bump into him.

77kustoms · 05-01-2012, 08:13 PM

Who all is on the old republic? Im on the Fatman server lvl 17 Jedi name Throcktar.

Brownfinger · 05-01-2012, 08:36 PM

My Imperial Agent is currently level 17, as well. On the server: Drooga's Pleasure Barge.

That last pic is hilarious!

Just goes to show that Jawas will salvage anything.

DHeezy81 · 05-02-2012, 01:24 PM

Can someone with Darth Malgus VC give me the UPC # please? I don't want to pay ebay prices for one and my buddy works at the supermarket and can enter the UPC# and tell me which sister stores have them in stock, whether on the self on in the warehouse. If I locate more than one I'd be happy to snag as many as I can get my hands on, if any.

It'd be awesome to see a scene of Jawas outside their sandcrawler trying to sell old broken Transformers and Go-Bots...maybe with a banner for 50% off...

That HK-47 droid looks awesome! In the comics they're real sarcastic.
Funny though how much better these old droids were than the Battledroids- same with IG-88 type droids (which are crazy agile in the CW series!)....but then, their makers, the Trade Federation were pretty cheao and needed millions of them....they must have cut a lot od corners.

Optimus Vader · 05-02-2012, 01:38 PM

I know he has hips now, but in-package I think the Empire Strikes Back Vader looks better.

Jason Abbadon · 05-02-2012, 01:59 PM

I dont know...he looks like he's got a noose around his neck there.
What is that anyway?

bmorr · 05-02-2012, 04:13 PM

the one on the left is a million times better.

PROVOST · 05-02-2012, 05:56 PM

Sighted the Malgus wave @ a K-Mart (Australia) store near me,Malgus was nowhere to be seen.

I suspect staff member had grabbed it as I was told those figures had just been put out less than a couple of hours before me seeing them.

Iceman · 05-02-2012, 06:17 PM

Seen Vader a couple places and Anakin only at the comic shop. No Malgus round here either

Do you have it? Because I have both and I can't say one is so much better than the other. The new one has more articulation while the old one has more detail.

is the upc the barcode #?

Tiberius · 05-02-2012, 08:44 PM

Things here are pretty dead, Star Wars, Gi Joe, ect. Stock just won't move with the 10.99 price tags Wal-mart has up.

DogFashionDisco · 05-02-2012, 08:45 PM

Oh ok, so HK-47 is one of those build a drone figures. That was a brilliant marketing strategy, but it fucking sucks for anyone who wants that figure post-retail.

on a side note, this fucked up auction comes up when you search "HK-47" on ebay. Check it out, I laughed my ass off.

edit:
Here is the only complete HK-47 I could find on the ol' evilbay. Pricey.

Tiberius · 05-02-2012, 08:48 PM

It is. My brother has a complete HK droid, I know it isn't 47 though.

D00MTR0N · 05-02-2012, 08:51 PM

upc = barcode? anyone?

Tiberius · 05-02-2012, 08:52 PM

Not sure, I would assume so.

You can see the number on photos of this figure. It has not shown up yet in my area. I will check once this weekend.
