SWMAN Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I'm kind of in-between on this one. The hair piece and clothes are cool, but the face is kind of weird.
Piranha Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 (edited) I'm with Natelite on the yoda thing, I don't have one either :-$ One of my most highly desired figs along with Count Dooku and Shadow troopers *sweet* I hate that cartoony face they gave Anakin, makes me mad, just like when they gave some minis headsets :-| I want hundreds of EP2 clones now, all in different colors *wub* , There so ugly and I hate them, but for some reason I want more X-D BPs On, CW On, 2008 On and Blond Juno Eclipse ON!!(:-P) Piranha Edited November 17, 2007 by Piranha
hollisbrick Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I dont really care what faces we get. it dosnt relly bother me. I actually like the ani face. Especially the hair! *wub*
baby Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 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 You mean you will this set in the near future? Gosh. You must made pictorial review of it. I will be looking forward to see the review of yours.
Big Pete Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 there's another new pic in the auction for the new Anakin ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lego-STAR-WARS-Anaki...1QQcmdZViewItem Can't see the rest of the set in the sellers completed listings ... unless it's the ones that are just called "Lego 05" or "Lego 06" ? They went for a lot of money considering the lack of content in the listing!
WookieeWarrior Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I would've been nice if Lego had made it a double sided face with one for the silly anime look and one for the standard movie style.
Looking for a display name Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I would've been nice if Lego had made it a double sided face with one for the silly anime look and one for the standard movie style. no it wouldn't where would be the logic? it wouldn't look right for THE CLONE WARS SERIES
Vader Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 no it wouldn't where would be the logic?it wouldn't look right for THE CLONE WARS SERIES Indeed their would be no logic in releasing a clone wars set that dosen't look like the one shown in the series.

The Kid Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Excellent Naith, do let us know if the hair is rubber-esque (i.e. Exo-Force)! :-) TK

Scouty Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 I bet the hair piece is solid plastic. It would be like Dolores Umbridge's hair piece.
the enigma that is badger Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 I'll add my voice to the "love the hair and torso, don't care for the new face design" crowd. Frankly, I'm getting tired of different lines of TLC product using such different aesthetics. I've always loved the interchangable nature of LEGO parts, including the minifig elements, and these new more detailed face designs frankly to match well at all with what TLC has previously released. Ultimately, I personally feel the character design should be adapted to the LEGO aesthetic, not the other way around. badger
jedikermit Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Ultimately, I personally feel the character design should be adapted to the LEGO aesthetic, not the other way around. That's a perfect way to describe it. There are only a few exceptions, and that should be with things like monsters or other non-human characters. But if they're people, they should be...people.
Belloq Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Heyyou guys I'm brand new. I just wanted to say what a cool board this is. I love star wars and lego, so Star Wars Lego= Heaven *sweet* Anyway, I just wanted to put in my two cents. I like the anakin head and the new hairpiece, the torsos's colors however |-/ I really hope lego stretches the clone wars line as much as they can. I really would like to see an Assajj (sp?) Ventress mini fig along with her starship. (Here's a pic: http://www.wizards.com/starwars/images/SB/...tarfighter.jpg) Also it wouldbe fun if they made a trade federation comand center, like these: http://www.wizards.com/starwars/images/SB/..._Battleship.jpg. It would totally rock if we were to get a super star destroyer but according to an interview with a lego designer, chances look rather low. Super star destroyer lego pic: http://www.millionaireplayboy.com/images/l...ardestroyer.jpg Interview: http://www.millionaireplayboy.com/toys/jenslegodesigner.php Here's where i got the starship pics: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=starw...ticle/sbgallery
Klaus-Dieter Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Welcome to EB, Bellog and thank you very much for that interesting article! By the way: If you have got some SW set ideas and wishes: http://eurobricks.hosting.ipsyn.com/eurofo...pic=8730&st=180
Lord Of Pies Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Oooh, yes, I do like the hair piece, please give info on it! Thanks!

There are only a few exceptions, and that should be with things like monsters or other non-human characters. But if they're people, they should be...people. Thanks, although I think TLC already had a longstanding tradition in regards to how it handled the design of "people" and altering that tradition for licensed lines is something with which I disagree. I've come to terms with flesh-tones (never did I thought I'd curse Billy Dee Williams for disrupting my MOC work), but this new shift towards greater "realism" or, more accurately speaking, matching source material is also something I don't like one bit. LEGO is LEGO and should be true to itself. badger
WookieeWarrior Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Indeed their would be no logic in releasing a clone wars set that dosen't look like the one shown in the series. Even if the faces aren't cartoon style, the sets are still based on the Clone Wars. And I'd bet that at least 75% of the fans are against the cartoon style because it's not compatible with the others that we already have.

I' kinda lost, but thats no excuse to post in the wrong boards! X-D But seriously, thanks.
Asuka Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 That new Anakin face looks really a bit strange to me.... well, the EF faces look different too and I still like them, so I guess I
Naith Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 hey all just to update everyone my new anakin fig turned up in the post today all i have to do now is get a cam so you can all see (friday at the latest) but to answer a question a few people have asked the hair is a plastic piece like most others and NOT the exo force type :-)

sam89 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 A few new pics from Amazon.de, nothing much. There were also a few Technic and Racer pics, but no Indiana Jones pics or anything like that. 7667 7668 7669 7670 7671 7672. I don't seem to be able to link to the pics, but if you click on the pics you can zoom in. They're actually quite hi-res pics.
