The Clone Trooper isn't quite as good as the Stormtrooper. However, it still looks like a really solid figure. I'd like to see a version with a bit of weathering. The Anakin looks ok I guess.

anakin has a weird face, but i think the outfit molding and painting is quite good, i believe the reason the clone doesnt look as awesome is because he isnt as "shiny" as the ones in the movies.

I agree, Anakin's expression is a little odd. But honestly, I'd prefer this over some snarling visage.

I told myself when this line started that I would only buy OT figures in the 6"-scale and nothing else. But that pic of Anakin and Obi Wan getting ready to throw down makes it really hard to hold true to that rule.

The Clone trooper, OTOH, is an easy pass. I was never really into that design beyond it being a prototype for the classic Stormtrooper version.

And, Jabba up:

The glued down bubble sucks ass. Kills the entire point.

trebleshot · 08-08-2014, 11:47 AM

Agreed. If I pick it up, I will probably leave it all intact and in the box. Just remove Jabba and Crumb for some display pics, then back in the box.

Joe Moore · 08-08-2014, 12:20 PM

The one problem I can foresee with this box set is that, at some point, you're likely going to see a store exclusive that will throw Jabba, Leia, and Boba Fett into a set with a similar diorama display. Maybe not soon, but it wouldn't surprise me to see something like that within a year.

surely this is a done deal already within the circles.

I'd buy one, I have sucker, re-sucker written all over me.

I'm more into the ancillaries, want crumb! need crumb!, exclusive crumb! supercrap.

considering that sdcc boba fett got re-released in europe, it wouldnt surprise me at all to see hasbro pull that. it would be a way to get rid of leias.

I agree that Anakin has a different facial expression. Jabba is not that impressive.

TheBigMachine · 08-15-2014, 07:39 AM

Heads up everybody! This may be old new, but it was new to me; I saw SW TBS 6" figures at Walmart this morning. I guess they FINALLY decided to carry them.

Pay me...

After the SDCC version, the retail Jabba just seems like an incomplete waste.

couldn't agree more.

also he seems undersized.

Cruu · 10-06-2014, 09:02 PM

I got the regular Jabba and took it back when I got a deal on the SDCC version. Way better. Just not sure if I want to take him out of the box and display with Slave Leia and Boba. My Boba and Carbonite Han however, will stay in their package on display.

trebleshot · 10-09-2014, 07:40 PM

After seeing it in person and these pics, I'm not sure I even want the retail version of Jabba.

Ironic.

Is there any actual difference in the Jabba figures itself? (Besides lacking the accessories) Someone mentioned to me the saliva detail was better on the SDCC exclusive.
