I passed on them as I've got versions of these figures I already consider definitive but my nephew went crazy for the Boba Fett on sight. I think the paint job on Fett is outstanding, it really pops on the shelf.Frederek Baker-Wisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13173190144824577873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-68808089435148056962012-05-04T06:43:52.697-07:002012-05-04T06:43:52.697-07:00I truly love these, and the Naboo figures as well....I truly love these, and the Naboo figures as well. The sculpting and paint apps on Maul alone are brilliant. -- I like the SA collection too, but this year they really seem to be covering most of the stragglers left to be updated. That said, new figures focusing more on aesthetics are a welcome addition to the line for me. I like the Fett better than any other they have released. -- Admittedly, I am an eternal optimist but Hasbro is kicking ass in 2012!DorkyNedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822337856929261072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-10705777127912020802012-05-03T12:54:36.515-07:002012-05-03T12:54:36.515-07:00Personally, while I DO thoroughly enjoy some of th...Personally, while I DO thoroughly enjoy some of the super-articulation on CORE character "definitive" versions, I think as a whole most kids who actually ENJOY PLAYING WITH these TOYS are fine with a good-looking, less-articulated figure. And for the most part, I tend to be fine with the majority of the background characters never having more than 5 or 6 joints. If they look good, like this Boba (and the Luke, at least in my opinion, is a decent-looking and PLAY-worthy figure for sure!), sometimes it's OK to just have them be...well...TOYS. A wonderful deco on a great sculpt will always win over articulation as a whole, and I feel that even with the core characters that have been given the SA treatment, it's still nice to think you'd be able to get an equally-attractive figure with simpler articulation for display, or just to fill the cockpit of your ship, whatever. I think this Fett represents a nice mix of form and function, and I agree that it would be awesome to see a lower-cost figure collection with this great attention to detail but at the expense of a few extra joints.H-Bombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668746673797375289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-1049713500377660482012-05-02T20:00:09.713-07:002012-05-02T20:00:09.713-07:00In 1981, I'd have loved this figure.

After Hasbro launched ARAH, 5-points is unacceptable.<br />I consider myself something of a completist, but I'm not touching these.<br /><br />My 7-year-old son, who loves his early CW clones and the super-poseable Battle Droids, leaves a lot of other figures untouched because they don't "bend" properly. I won't be getting these for him either.<br /><br />I have difficulty expressing the extent of my disatisfaction with this regression. That's not to say I think Hasbro will care, it's just my two cents.Galactic Hitchhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021110494725930030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-43033760945000837682012-05-02T18:33:07.020-07:002012-05-02T18:33:07.020-07:00I've been - for the most part - out of collect...I've been - for the most part - out of collecting since 2001, only buying the occasional core character. I've wanted to get back in but haven't, mainly because of pricing - I just don't want to pay $8-$10 for most figures. I'd love to see them reduce the articulation and return these items to toys, hopefully bringing the cost down per figure in the process. As such, I fully intend on purchasing these new battle packs to vote with my dollars.JR Tschopphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686705559252243038noreply@blogger.com
