Are new SW figures total ****?!

[huedell]

I don't think there is anything wrong with posting this thread - or opinion at all. It is a talking point - sharing opinions. Just writing it off as complaining is completely insensative and drastically wrong.

Same thought as often posted and you implied - if you don't agree with a thread - don't read it - but don't put people down for starting it or sharing their thoughts and feelings about something they care about. I am shocked at you Hue.

I've done a lot worse...so don't be shocked

Seriously though....his posts in this thread make no sense to me...
he's complaining about Hasbro releasing stuff he doesn't want
when they actually MAKE stuff that meets his expectations/qualifications
as far as I've understood so far.

That's TWO big reasons for the confusion.

I say give Hasbro props for releasing stuff that you DO like.
Complaining about stuff you have no interest in seems pretty pointless
---when the simple answer is: Don't buy it.

True. If you think something has become really really bad, it kind of made sense to....stop collecting them.
I'm glad that you still find them great, that's the important thing. Collect what you love.
I just think that something like a white Darth Vader is kind of the last straw for me.
Don't get me wrong, I stil collect SW. Some of the Sideshows (not all), some Kotobukiyas (the bounty hunters are great), still trying to get my hands on a large wing TIE fighter (finally in correct proportions!).

I have been, and always will be, a SW fan.
But just because some exec decides to put an item out here, doesn't mean I have to accept it as true SW.
I like my Vaders black...

And so do I.

THAT'S why the last two Vaders I bought were
the "classic style" Vaders----heck, one was just released a few weeks ago.

Your posts here only make sense if you're overly sensitive
to what Hasbro releases.

Hasbro has been releasing better and better versions of
classic characters for years....and you're ALLOWED to
pick and choose what you buy.

And in scenarios like the recent Yarna (Jabba's Fat Dancer) release
----the FIRST version release of a classic character has become
available (and I think the figure is AWESOME).

Hasbro doesn't have a gun to your head.

The new stuff is actually light years ahead of stuff that was released years ago in terms of detail, deco, and articulation.

And Hasbro's recent BIG vehicle and spaceship offerings are a really brave and bold move for them.

I for one applaud their products in the STAR WARS line. I am only an Original Trilogy character, vehicle, and playset collector, but the offerings have been quite good... some a LOT better than others.

Of course, my opinion on all this is not exactly objective. My STAR WARS toy collection room is now bursting at the seams, and I haven't really slowed my weekly additions to the collection.

. . . still trying to get my hands on a large wing TIE fighter (finally in correct proportions!). . .

Check Toys R Us. They have a white version that I believe is an exclusive to their store. My local one had several in stock last week.

I loved Star Wars, but never had any of the toys as a kid. It doesn't make much sense to drop the money on vintage toys when the recent ones are pretty good. While some of the ones released(I'm thinking POTF2) a while back were pretty funny-looking and there are occasional stinkers from time to time, I like this line. I don't get every character, mostly Jedi, Sith, and clones/stormtroopers. I love that they're more articulated, and have better likenesses overall.

Seems like the only ones on this thread who have negativity on these
newest figures stopped collecting Star Wars current release figures
from store shelves "a long, long time ago"

i stopped a while back myself. the only ones i buy are the vintage original trilogy ones in the clam shell.

Actually, the longer the line goes on, the better the
figures get.

The most recent stuff is awesome on the whole...especially
articulation and accessories.

And for someone who is okay with the face sculpts
on the new Indy figures...well, this should ring especially true
cause it's basically simillar production results.

Well I like the new vehicles. Especially the AT TE and the Falcon.The new clone troops and droids are nice.

[ZICA]

I haven't bought much of the new stuff for the past few years. I recently got one of the new white TIE fighters from TRU because I like the larger scale wings, and I'm waiting for the new Millennium Falcon to go on clearance. I've seen enough of these sitting around that I feel like this will happen.

I stopped after Episode 1,then got a few Episode 2's and that's about it

I'm not Digging the New Figures. The Original is always gonna be Better. There just Amazing. I stopped collecting New Star Wars from a Galaxy Far Far Away a Very Very Long Long time Ago.

I'll stick with the classic toys.
And the classic movies.
