Starkiller (Vader's Apprentice) - VC100 *Galen Marek*

Personally I already have plenty of Galen figures, I'd rather he be made in that Vader armor from Hoth if at all.

Liking this one - especially for customs.
I think we have seen more incarnations of Galen than of Rots Obi-wan and Anakins in the last 5 years.
The accessories and body definitely make great custom fodder.

Meh! I'm still trying to forget this character exists.
I wonder if they'll just use the inage from the video game packaging for the Vintage card. I only want this and Juno from TFU II. We're STILL waiting for Kazdan Paratus, Hasbro!
Not overly excited about this one, but he's neat. I'll pick him up when I see him.
Looks great! Starkiller is one of my favorite characters and I'm glad to have a chance to get one of his figures single-carded.
Ho boy. Im reading the force unleashed 2 novel right now and am mega excited to see this. One of my big wants and the accessories are nuts. 3x of this guy for me. Now if only i can get a better general kota!

Well I've ever played TFUII so this doesn't interest me all that much but it still holds some interests for me. I just can't help but feel that something is wrong proportionally. I'm no expert on TFUII costumes but I think this figure has the possibility for 4-5 different costumes?
Aw wtf, really? No.

I think the figure turned out great, but its just another Starkiller. While I like it and will buy it, I hope they give him a rest after this release.
count me in for 3 of him... love Starkiller and this one looks like an awesome figure indeed.
This has been my absolute dream for a VC figure.
I am buying multiples of this figure. To everyone that hates on people that buy excessive amounts of one figure I apologize in advance.
I actually checked my calendar to see if it was April 1 when I saw this thread

So that brings us to 6 Galen Mareks? Hasbro must have a thing for this guy. He's got good customizing potential, but I'm not a customizer.
Good think this EU slot wasn't wasted on something like Zayne Carrick, a Noghri, Dash Rendar, or Carth Onassi.

lame character from a horrible game.
This guy is a little plain. So he is a maybe. Depends on how he looks in person.
I've been wanting to get a figure of this character. The Evolutions set costs a lot now.
Yea, we've gotten a lot of versions of this guy already, but I've enjoyed them all. They're different enough to not feel repetitive. I'm interested to see what this guy looks like with all his accessories in place, but more than likely, I'll pick up at least one of these, possibly two.
I want to see him with the extra pieces put on, I enjoyed the game so this figure will be a must x2.Hope they'll do a special picture for him and not put the promo art of the game for the card
I like to get EU biggies and I played both games so it'll be nice to see him, especially since I don't have a GM fig yet
If it didn't have lightsabers, it wouldn't really say "Star Wars" to me. But as a random "sci-fi space movie" type of figure, I guess it's okay. Kind of boring design though.

didnt know marek or tfu was so important. doesnt he have half a dozen figures? how about a NEW eu character?!
Agreed! I'd take so many others over this guy anyway day, I'd also love some EU updates too. Dash Rendar > This *****clown! ANY DAY!

Don't have a GM yet so I'll definitely be getting him. I prefer the first game but it doesn't matter. Hopefully they use the cover image of the game as the cardback. That'd be great.
This is a pass for me. There have been, what? 6-7 figures of this guy? He's just as pissy as Anakin in the video game. He's angry about his daddy, and then about his girlie. And they make 7 versions of this guy? Where's Hoth Luke, where's Wuhr, where's Nien Numb, where's Mon Mothma, General Nadine? Real characters, iconic to the saga. A TESB Anniversary in 2010 and no Hoth Luke till now. He was the first rebel we saw in TESB since we last saw him in Star Wars. Pass and hurry up so you dont hold back the other lines.
I want and would buy all four of those figures, especially the Noghri. As for this guy, He's not an immediate must-have, but I'm glad to see TFU II get at least one figure. Like many others, I wanna see him with his accessories in place.

Yeah, I'm baffled that Hasbro keeps making figures of this guy. It's been what, about a year and a half since TFU2 was released? This thread indicates Starkiller has his fans (though I'm honestly baffled that anyone could find him interesting), and apparently TFU merchandise still sells well enough for Hasbro to keep bringing stuff out now and then, but if they're going to churn out another TFU figure, why not one of the unmade characters like Kazdan Paratus? At least he's visually interesting. Or hell, delve into some other part of the EU that hasn't been getting as much attention. I hate to be that "this is a wasted slot" guy, but... this is a wasted slot.
Aw c'mon, if it wasn't for Marek, the Rebel Alliance wouldn't have gotten their logo!
No, in all seriousness, I agree with you. I didn't know this guy was that popular either. Personally, I find almost everything about him a little ludicrous.
I rather have the Clone Trooper or the Jedi gilr for KOTOR. Now those are cool. Questionable but cool.
Given we've had a number of Mareks already, and this outfit (admittedly shown sans all his many accessories) is really pretty plain and forgetable, this one seems old before it was new. It certainly doesn't have any appeal for me anyhow. Pass, I'm afraid.

Where's my Kazdan figure, Hasbro? And why TFUII, a KOTOR figure would have been a much better choice.
everyone thats complaining about this figure seems to be very confused. you're all complaining about how we already have a ton of Galen Marek figs but you dont realize this isnt a figure of Galen Marek. this is a figure of one of his clones, specifically the clone named Starkiller. this figure is from TFUII, not TFU. in TFUII, the lead character is the clone Starkiller. thats the figure shown. Starkiller the clone is a very different character than Galen Marek. this is his first figure ever.
My comment is less to the merit of the choice, and more to the quality of figure they produced > prelim image looks like total crap, as was the Marek from this past 2011 TFU II BP
In fact, the Raxis Prime version is the only one I really can say is a great figure. If you're going to do him again, at least blow us away !

Yeah, I am sick of Marek figures too. He's like the new Clone or something. Fortunately he has a suitable outfit that given a few mods could be any number of Cantina Spacers or Bespin backgrounders which is what I am going to use the figure for.
