beasts

[spacefighter]

I know most people think the critters are not the best toys, but they have been getting better.The Acklay was good and the Hoth set tauntaun was better. But I would love to see a Boga with sound effects, independantly posable front legs and better detail on the crest.. At work I time my rounds so I can hear that thing's roar (or whatever) and watch it slink around the hangar chasing Greivous.

And for the Naysayers, at least it's not a gungan.

I'd sure as hell buy it. I just LOVE electronic toys.

Honestly, I'd pay just a little more to have a Boga with sound effects. Hasbro could just as easily have made a separate single carded Obi-Wan articulated enough to fit on the beast, so that the price point is reasonable.

[spacefighter]

Good point. Plus there are other figures already designed to ride machines or beasts that could be used just as easily, for those of us that actually play with them or make dioramas of scenes that never took place. The Yoda from the can-cell, the bonus at-rt driver and BARC speeder trooper; there's no reason they couldn't be placed on a Boga.

Since we are discussing beasts here, which should be re-issued?

Personally i'd like to see a new or a re-issued Eopie w/a decent Qui-Gon Tatooine.

Would also love to see Hasbro retool the POTF2 Bantha and release it with a new Tusken Raider.

The POTF2 Tauntaun w/Han Solo is on the top of my list. I have always wanted this set and never found it. I know there's a new Han Hoth figure, but i really loathe that sculpt. I like this one way better.

I'd really like to see a solo release of the Tauntaun from the TRU exclusive set. Or maybe they could release a new Rancor (one that could actually swallow other figures, like the last JP t-rex) or at least hold them in a threatening manner. I'm actually expecting to see an Eopie for this film since it was one of only a few to appear.

As for the Han Tuan set you mentioned, was that at 3.75" scale or 12". The Tauntaun is tied for my favorite( now that Boga exists) and I remember a 12" but cannot recall who was on it.

[DarthMaulSithLord]

Nah i'm talking about the 3.75" version.

Not that familiar with the 12" line. I think the first had Han Solo on it and the 2nd Luke Skywalker, but i am not certain.

[spacefighter]

I see.

After all the Tauntaun chat, I went insane and tried to paint a portrait of one. He looked much happier as a painting than as a toy. I suppose that is why they tell you to practice that sort of thing...

[DarthMaulSithLord]

Since we're on the 12" subject, which items do you guys wanna see re-issues of?

I wanna see a re-issue of the 12" Scout w/Speederbike.

Yeah i know, not a 12" scale animal, but i'm not that much into this scale to begin with.

(all in 3.75")

-Colo Claw Fish
-New Eeope
-New Rancor (that can swallow and hold figures)
-New Dewbac
-Better Boga
-New Ronto
-Clone on Felucia Slug
-and a Kaminoan on one of those giant sea dragon dudes
