AZ Board #143: Now in 3D!!!

[DashRendar]

Hey all,
I have a good number of SW books I have no need for. If you want any let me know and they're yours. Otherwise it's off to Goodwill with them:

Hardcover
Attack of the Clones
Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter
Dark Force Rising
The Last Command
Labyrinth of Evil

Softcover - A couple are a bit beat up, but still very readable.
Champions of the Force
Dark Apprentice
Episode 1 The Phantom Menace
The Truce at Bakura
Jedi Search

I also have a huge stack of SW Insider magazines from years ago if anyone's interested.

I absolutely love this years SDCC exclusive. And love that hasbro went to the extent of placing the figures on the (lost line) cardbacks!!! Oh and Jar Jar in carbonite is always a good thing. Even better news, my wife is going to purchase two tickets for myself and my best bud to go to comic con for our anniversary gift!!! Hopefully everything works out and i can snag meself a sweet comic con exclusive among other things of course. Anyone else on the boards ever been to comic con? This would be my first year going.

I seriously hope that that the 6 movie figures are all repacks. This has no appeal to me at all. I don't even understand the selection of figures because they have no general theme to be grouped together at all. They're not all main characters. They're not all troops. I just don't get it.

And I can completely do without the Carbon Frozen Jar Jar.

If these are repacks I will be thrilled because I can so easily pass on this exclusive.

Seriously? It looks like they're making yet ANOTHER figure from the Force Unleashed line, and another Galen Marek to boot, and a giant talking rabbit came in third in their poll and you're complaining about a new Mara Jade in a completely different outfit? :p

The Force Unleashed was a decent game. The second one was a steaming pile of gastric juices. Neither one, in my opinion, was done well enough to deserve the onslaught of figures we've had from the game. At least they're putting out a Shae Vizla (which I'll never be able to find in stores). Hopefully, with her precedence and with the Old Republic game coming out, we'll see an interest in making more figures from that particular time period. While I think it's supposed to be set about 300 years after Knights of the Old Republic, hopefully it's close enough that we can start seeing more characters from those games. There's a ton of unique and interesting looking characters from those games that would fit in well with the regular figures without standing out too much.

Yay for Mara! Yay for Shae! Let's see how hard they'll be to find in stores.

I don't want any more figures from the Force Unleashed line, especially not a another Galen Marek and I don't want a Mara Jade either.

I would much rather have movie figures (Torryn Farr, Cliegg Lars or Selbulba's Twi'lek twins) over any of the characters you mentioned.

So I saw the Darth Maul Funko bobble-head at Barnes'N'Noble the other night and thought I'd see what else they had. I had no idea that Funko has made so many bobble-heads for so many different lines. They even have a Boba Fett computer sitter bobble-head:

So is anyone else having trouble distinguishing some of the "realistic" figures from the "animated" ones? Are we getting two "realistic" version of Ahsoka? Are there two versions of Aayla coming out or is the breathing mask just an included accessory?

For those that did not find a guy nice enough to give up his podracer 3D glasses, Amazon has them fror $9.95.

Funko has TONS of bobbleheads. I think I have all of the Boba Fetts except for the computer sitter one. I actually think the Pop! style DC super heroes are really cute.

My favorite are still the wave before that were super deformed. The Pop! version of Boba Fett looks pretty much the same as that one except that it's smaller and the body is a bit more in proportion with the head.

This is Ahsoka's realistic version:

Aayla's breathing mask is an accessory with the CW one coming (the same as the first release)

I got the 3PO one last week for my son from Barnes 'N' Noble. They are very cute.

If you look at the face they're not all that different. I think you could get away with uing either for either line and no one really noticing.
