I wonder if I'd feel different if it was joe two packs of the same caliber. I'd be bummed if it was 5 poa duke and cobra viper, but the army builder might be worth it.
How do you SW guys feel about these?
Love, love, love them. The sculpts are great and they are very Kenner-esque. I grew up on Kenner figures so I have a soft spot for the retro look of these.
The new ones coming out in 2014 are even better. The Han/Chewie and 3PO/R2 Mission packs revealed at SDCC are very nice to look at and will display nicely next to the vintage figures.
The first wave is lackluster due to the character selection - more Anakins and Obi-Wans? Really? But wave 2 gives us some classic OT figures. The Stormtrooper coming out is perhaps the best overall sculpt of a ST ever done. Even the 5POA haters love the head sculpt.
Look at this and tell me you don't want multiples, lined up to greet the Emperor as he gets off his Shuttle.
I embrace these because I'm a child of the 80's and I know Hasbro isn't going to stop making Super Articulated figures. It's all the chicken little SW collectors who fear it's the end of the line if these succeed. Yet they fail to acknowledge all the new and resculpted figures comingout in the Black Series.
5POA isn't for everyone but for me they fucking rock. Now if Joe went to a 5POA line I'd be irrate because Joe has always been better articulated than SW. But since SW has a history of this limited articulation, I'm OK with it.
That's my $.02 anyway.
