It pains me to say it, but it's a pass from me. Only the head is new. I'd much have preferred the Snowspeeder version. Had it been that one I'd have bought 2 for a Luke headswap.
I think he looks pretty good, not perfect but you kinda get the actor's likeness.
I'll get him eventually, I suppose, but only if it's easy/cheap.
Not the least bit excited about this one.

If you showed me that and asked me who it’s supposed to be, I’d say Wedge.I think he looks pretty good, not perfect but you kinda get the actor's likeness.
Easy preorder for me.
There’s a long history of Wedge figures being reuses of the Xwing Luke body, if you look through the RS photo archive. I’m okay with this.
WOW YOU ******S COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR LANDO SKIFF GUARD SCIENCE FICTION ACTION FIGURE DOLL NOT HAVING A BLASTER THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN USE IN THE ***** MOVIE AND NOW YOU COMPLAIN THAT YOUR WEDGE X-WING PILOT SCIENCE FICTION ACTION FIGURE DOLL TOY DOES COME WITH A BLASTER THAT HE DIDN'T EVEN USE IN THE ***** MOVIE JUST BE HAPPY THAT YOU GOT YOUR DMAN SCIENCE FICTION ACTION FIGURE DOLL TOY AND STOP YOUR PISSIN AND MOANIN
THEY AREN'T DOLLS! *stomps foot on the floor in an almost manly way*
Oh, and the likeness actually looks pretty good in that pic above! Hair looks a little off, but the face looks great! They nailed the eyebrows, which are quite distinctive.

I'm getting a couple.
I won't go out of my way to get this figure (simply because I don't really collect many good guy figures); but if I came across one in the wild I'd likely grab it.
Got my Wedge last night. I do wish they didn't just use the Luke body, but the head is very nice. Snapped a couple of pics of him with my Luke.
Wedge is listed on target.com now but is "sold out." Was he ever actually live for sale or is he a placeholder for when they list him? Did anyone manage to buy him from target.com?
Wedge is my favorite character too! Found him at Target today. The likeness with the helmet off is ok, but as good as some of the other recent figures. But, with the helmet on he looks pretty great.
I know it's a pipe dream, but I would love to get Janson, Hobbie, and Tycho to finish out the big 4 from the X-wing books.
Biggs can't be too far off...
Kohl's has Wedge in stock online for $17.99:

Picked up Wedge at Gamestop. Somehow, I missed the 3.75" ones every time, and I just wasn't interested enough in X-wing Luke to pick him up, so Wedge is nice and new to me. The X-wing novels were pretty important to me when I was younger, so it's really cool to have the primary character from them in figure form (and I do agree that it'd be lovely to get the other three someday).
I really like this figure. Great having another Rebel pilot. Now gimme Biggs!

You want it adjusted to the current price of $29.95
Seriously, though, WM's pricing algorithm is seriously flawed. The MSRP in $19.99 for Wedge, yet they're selling it for $10 higher. They're acting like a crummy third-party seller on their own website. 
I've been told on two separate occasions by reps on chat that they can't do price adjustments on website orders, which I know is bogus as I've done it once before and know others have done it as well. But considering it isn't that price anymore I think your chances, obstinate reps aside, are probably 0.
Next time something like this happens, you can do one of two things. Order another at the lower price, then try to cancel the higher price item, or just wait for them both to come in, and return the more expensive one.
