    Super detailed scale series

    What do you guys think about a new series called: "Super detailed in scale" or "Deluxe most accurate Line"... anything like that. A line with vehicles which are definitly up to scale for the figures ! The line should hold: AT-ST, Claoud Car, Y-Wing, B-Wing, all kinds of TIE-Fighters, A-Wing, Tatooine Skiff, just everything what could be possible in 3 3/4. Ok, no Sandcrawler, AT-ATs or even Star Destroyers su much is clear. But the other ships in a very decent way would be absolutly cool and would please every collector. They did it with the new X-Wing (nearly) and with the new Landspeeder, now go on the real deals :-)
    May the force be with you... always.

    Re: Super detailed scale series

    I've mentioned a line like this in the past, and honestly I think Hasbro should just start resculpting ships like they did with the Landspeeder (rather than a separate line) and putting them out as an exclusive from time to time...

    The problem is, vehicles tend NOT to sell. The Saga Landspeeder did though, no matter how somewhat dull it is, so I'd at least like seeing the AT-ST, Snowspeeder, and speederbike done to their proper scale to the figures.

    The X-Wing's new sculpt all but nixes it from the possibility of a total resculpt to make it to-scale. It's only 80% now, but Hasbro seems sufficiently happy with it as it is (enough to re-release it repeatedly)...

    TIE's just need proper scaled solar panels on the Fighter and a good cockpit on the Interceptor... I could see either of these happening (especially since one's rumored and the cockpit's now "done"). They're already actually accurate to the film models. That's cool by me then.

    The Y-Wing is the only Fighter I'd HOPE they make to-scale then... I'm doubting they'd bother with any other (The A-Wing is pretty much dead-on, which is good for a vintage mold) ship at this point then, and the Y-Wing's slated for a re-release again so I'm not gonna count on this getting redone.

    There's time, and the Landspeeder does give one some hope, but at this stage Hasbro's weird about how they crank out the old molds and it's likely just what we'll be dealing with. The AT-ST, Speederbike, and Snowspeeder are the only 3 I'd LOVE to see redone, and I'd be content if Hasbro only ever redid them. They probably wont' do them even, but it's the 3 that need it the most to me. The Snowspeeder's so overscaled it's not even funny. The speederbike's awkwardly big, and a new one with super articulated Scout would make an nice Ultra/Deluxe figure. The AT-ST though would just make a kick butt resculpted vehicle with a generic pilot pack-in. Sweet.
