Pretty cool. But the bigger question here is what will Lucas and Kenner expect the buyer to extract from their wallets to have these? I have no doubt these will be $50.00 figures...
Not being a SW collector is there really a market for these? I know all about the old 12" figures (used to own some back in the day) but is this something collectors will want? Just wondering. I have to say they are kinda cool. I'm digging the large blister cards.

Over on the SideshowFreaks board, there are many people who grew up with the vintage 3 3/4 inch figures who are drooling over these.
I think they are really cool idea, but as a kid I never liked the little Star Wars figures, having grown up with 12 inch GI Joe I saw the 3 inch figures that the toy market was moving towards as just cheap not to mention poorly sculpted.
But these are kinda cool, from the nostalgia perspective.

If they can sell a Darth Vader Toaster, and lightsaber chopsticks, it says exactly one thing:
Star Wars fans have no taste, and they WILL buy anything.
Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figures
These are insanely cool. I just wish they weren't being put out as a limited quantity. Now I need to find a quick grand and figure out which wall they're covering.
And OMG. I need to mod the Boba Fett for rocket-firing. HUGE.
I agree that smaller may have been better... still, I think I'm going to buy ALL of these.
