JCC1004 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 The Mace Windu that came with the Clone Turbo Tank(pictured below) has a gray torso. I never saw Mace in a gray jedi robe. Was he ever shown wearing gray jedi robes or was it something TLG decided to do? To be honest with you I don't think it looks that bad, I'm just wondering. Quote
CommanderCody77 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Well I think TLC probably thought that gray would be a suitable color for Mace. Another question is why did they put Mace Windu in the Turbo Tank Quote
JCC1004 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) It is a nice color for Mace but I would have prefered the Mace shown in the movie. It should have been Yoda or Ulindi. Or even better, a Gree! But I like having a Mace that is not CW! Edited February 22, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
RoflWafls Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I never understood why they put him the the Turbo Tank. He was never on Kasyeek! Quote
SWMAN Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I never understood why they put him the the Turbo Tank. He was never on Kasyeek! It was all about putting Jedi that kids would want in sets that Lego wanted to sell. Even though he was never on Kashyyk, Lego knew that if they put Mace Windu in the Turbo Tank, it would sell better. Quote
Wout Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Maybe It was just a trick to sell the Turbo tank better. I didn't bother to have the tank but Mace fig was for me the only reason to think about it. The clones were also nice, but not that tempting. Later I bought his head second hand and give him some Obi-wan torso and legs. It looked really good. A clear darkpink lightsaber blade from a Harry Potter set was a good alternative for his purple lightsaber. I only still must add brown hands. Quote
JCC1004 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 It probaly was a way to sell the Turbo Tank. Kids want the jedi to slice the droids of couse. The tan jedi robes must have been to boring for a Mace. I still don't know why his robes are gray, left over plastic? Quote
KimT Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Because they could make him gray. Sheesh! What kind of question is that. If it bother you that much, then send an e-mail to the LEGO Customer Service. Personally I don't care wether he belongs with the CTT or not. This is a toy...not a perfect reproduction in size and contents of the entire Star Wars Universe. It probaly was a way to sell the Turbo Tank. Kids want the jedi to slice the droids of couse. The tan jedi robes must have been to boring for a Mace. I still don't know why his robes are gray, left over plastic? Yes of course they are. Didn't you know that TLG work with the concept of using 'left over' plastic? Quote
hopeso009 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I like this Mace Windu much more than the new (clone wars) one. But I also doubt why he is in gray robe....funny (never see him in gray robe in movie) Quote

I don't think KimT got the point of this topic. Quote

Commander Flash Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Never met the man. Haha. Did he wear one on geonosis over his normal one? I don't remember. Quote

Legoman Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 In EP II he had grey robes under his brown cloak from memory Quote
RileyC Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 yeah I'm quite sure he did have some sort of grey jedi robes of some sort under his cloak. But I think it looks good on mace and I don't really care that he wasn't on kashyyyk because turbo tanks could've been deployed some where else as well. Quote
JCC1004 Posted February 23, 2009 Author Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Never met the man. Haha. Did he wear one on geonosis over his normal one? I don't remember. He wore the tan one in geonosis. In EP II he had grey robes under his brown cloak from memory Maybe TLG ( it's not TLC, right?) decided that Kashyyk had a hot temperture and made it appear he took it off. Like the jedi cloaks when they fight. You asked wether anyone had ever seen Mace Windu in grey robes and to be honest I never have.But then again, I've never met the man And I still don't get the point of this topic I just wanted to know if anyone has seen Mace in a gray robe and I'd decide if TLG took him off a moive or came up with him by themsevles, or make it appear he took off his tan robes. In EP II he had grey robes under his brown cloak from memory can you find a pic? I just looked on Wokkieepedia and saw no gray. Edited February 25, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
Icesaber Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 He wore the tan one in geonosis.Maybe TLG ( it's not TLC, right?) decided that Kashyyk had a hot temperture and made it appear he took it off. Like the jedi cloaks when they fiht. TLG and TLC both work. (The Lego Group or Company ;) ) I looked in here. Glancing at all the images, it doesn't look like he wears grey but I didn't look at all of them closely. Quote

On wookieepedia how did you get a shearch of pictures of a character? I saw this one where he was wearing the gray robes TLG gave him. This could be my answer. Quote
pr0visorak Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Maybe but why use a very weirdly drawn picture of him? They should followed the movie. Anyway, the new mace windu is a bit better but the head is like an exo force one. Quote

On wookieepedia how did you get a shearch of pictures of a character?I saw this one where he was wearing the gray robes TLG gave him. *picture* This could be my answer. On Wookiepedia there are categories of things, for example "Clone trooper variants" and there are categories for images as well, like "Images of Mace Windu". To find this page I clicked on a pic of Mace. On the bottom it lists the categories this is listed in and I clicked on the "Images of Mace Windu". Hope that helps That picture I'm fairly certain is set before Ep. II so I don't think TLC used it as a basis for their design (look at his blue lightsaber0 Quote
Artizan Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 this one maybe? i think neither normal tan fits him , it should be the new dark tan color. Quote
JCC1004 Posted February 28, 2009 Author Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) this one maybe? i think neither normal tan fits him , it should be the new dark tan color. Thats probaly what they used. It looks like dark gray too me! Edited February 28, 2009 by JCC1004 Quote
