casewindu Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) i found this image a few days ago nothing we havnt seen but shows the full image of what anakin looks like now :-) I really *wub* that new hair piece it's just got so many possibilitys! Also I prefer the new Anakin head over the episode 3 figures head. This one has a lot of character and has a real sence of smug satisfaction! I love that in a mini figure! :-D Thanks for the pic Naith! ;-) Edited November 15, 2007 by casewindu
Derek Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Ew. I dont think i like the new hair as much. :-(
simonjedi Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 has anyone else noticed R2's head is back to front?
Naith Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks for the pic! Where'd you find it? i found it on ebay cause i was the winning bidder on the item ;-) when it comes ill get some pics on it. its been posted from prague so it'll take about 5-7 days to get to me
Brickmaster Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Quite honestly I dont see what the fuss is all about with the new head - it just seems more detailed than all the others, nothing wrong with that (all my minifigures wear helms anyway - as ima space dude)
Vader Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Quite honestly I dont see what the fuss is all about with the new head - it just seems more detailed than all the others, nothing wrong with that (all my minifigures wear helms anyway - as ima space dude) The fuss is because it dosen't fit in with the other SW figs, if this is the future then so be it. But whats annoying is that we will need to get the same figs again but with different faces, like when they changed from yellow to flesh.
xwingyoda Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 has anyone else noticed R2's head is back to front? Yep indeed and the light saber is built backwards as well :-P i found it on ebay cause i was the winning bidder on the item ;-) when it comes ill get some pics on it. its been posted from prague so it'll take about 5-7 days to get to me Sweet, lucky you !! Can we expect a sweet pic review then ? That would be sweet ;-) *yoda*
Derek Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 has anyone else noticed R2's head is back to front? Yep indeed and the light saber is built backwards as well :-P Slackers @ TLC :-D
baby Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Nice pic. LEGO is changing the lightsaber holder to grey. Sad*
Darth Andrew Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 ^^It's been like that in many sets with lightsabers since the Episode III line, at least. I officially don't like Anakin's animated head. :-(
Piranha Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Thanks naith!! *y* The lightsaber isn't upside down, thats the way it is supposed to be Becuase the clicker thingys on the side are on the top........hmmm actually I always made them the other way round :-D As for the bley saber, TLG switches back and forth(like in the SI, DM had a silver one and in the RC they were bley *wacko* ) R2 looks fine to me(except for his head) Could do without the catoony eyes :-/ I wonder if I should get this (?)
natelite Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 yeah, i'm also not feeling the new head. prefer the normal lego eyes and smile. no, i'm not referring to the classic head but the new modern heads with more expressions.
john cleese Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 The new anakin head is so ugly the first thing I intend to do when I buy the set is chuck it in the garbage. The rest is awesome though. I'll definately get a couple of the droid sets.
Scouty Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I think they overdid the head details... It's not that fancy, but it's okay!!
Vader Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Though the head is a bit over the top, the hair and torso look amazing *wub* It's always great to have more jedi torso's and this one is a must just like the kit fisto one was.
Lars Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 The new Jedi Starfighter has the brand "Clone Wars" on the box, The Rouge Shadow is a "The Force Unleashed" set and the Rebel battlepack is a plain Star Wars one. The anime looking face seems to be for the "Clone Wars" sets only and we don't know how many figs will be released under that brand really. a guess would be that it is not that many because there will be clones, droids and molded heads as well. I think it is safe to say that this is not the new style of faces for every new Star Wars set. One interesting thing is the actual look of the characters in the series. If you watch the trailer up on starwars.com You'll see that almost every character looks like it comes from a different show. Yoda is from the drawn animation of the older series, Obi one looks like he is from some old Checkoslovakien stop motion film. The clones look like they belong in the feature films. A couple of ugly heads that you can easily swap for regular heads. The good thing with the anime heads is that it will be easier to do some of the more detailed Jedi characters justice in this style.

Yes we know about the different sets coming out, the pictures with the different names on the boxes have been known to us for some time. Thanks anyway. Rumor had it that a mace windu and yoda would both be released with the RGS, if so i expect mace to have a anime style face.
Lars Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Yes we know about the different sets coming out, the pictures with the different names on the boxes have been known to us for some time. Thanks anyway. I'm sorry about that. I'll be quiet now. Don't worry!
hollisbrick Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I'm sorry about that. I'll be quiet now. Don't worry! [/qdont worry about it! *sweet* we'll be more upset if you dont post anything lol X-D everyone makes mistakes. btw welcome to EB!
Vader Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I'm sorry about that. I'll be quiet now. Don't worry! :-D No need to be quiet mate, i'm still thankfull to you for posting. *y*

Thanks anyway.Rumor had it that a mace windu and yoda would both be released with the RGS, if so i expect mace to have a anime style face. great. i have mace from ctt set but no yoda yet. :-P looking to get my first yoda mf. :-P
Vader Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 great. i have mace from ctt set but no yoda yet. :-P looking to get my first yoda mf. :-P Well don't get to excited just yet, It's just a rumor so it could be wrong.
xwingyoda Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 great. i have mace from ctt set but no yoda yet. :-P looking to get my first yoda mf. :-P What what what ?? NO *yoda* you say !! GO to the corner asap Mister, such blasphemy won't be tolerated here X-D :-P I'm always up to get more *yoda* :-D Well don't get to excited just yet, It's just a rumor so it could be wrong. yeay but since there are no other great news to discus lets speculate (On !!) in order to get our SW craved minds the necessary fuel :-P *yoda*
jedikermit Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I'm really hoping for an official Plo Koon at some point...whether molded or just decal, I need my favorite freaky Jedi!
Plural Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 If Mace is in a new set (well suposedly) I hope Its not like the new Anakin because i've only got a LULs Mace and I was hoping for a proper, good old fashioned face. Also it'll be odd having a normal Yoda with these anime style figs and I really can't see lego making a new mold. Another point is that it seems with every new wave of sets we get a rumour that a new RGS is coming out, and it never happens, so all of the above could just be hypothetical nonsense. X-D Then again this could be the year when we get one. Oh the confusion! :-D
