New 2012 VC figures debuted at last week’s NY Comic Con. Here is a link to Hasbro’s slide presentation. For the most part, TPM and others figures are pretty solid. However, the new 501st comes with too big a helmet and the new Jedi Luke has a robe (instead of a cloak) and doesn’t resemble Mark Hamill (once again). For some reason, the Clone Wars line only gets a few new figures to start 2012.

Re: Hasbro's upcoming lineup, as seen in the rebelscum link up above.

Wtf is a 'Darth Malgus'? Looks cool, maybe I missed something.

The vehicle line-up looks interesting. I'm digging the Naboo Starfighter. I never did get one of those.

Looks like some neat vehicles and a handful of figures worth my time. But thanks for posting!!

He's the Sith seen in two of the three TOR cinematic trailers. Also the subject of a book, I believe.

Sideshow Collectables just announced a life size Darth Malgus statute.

Wow, that's pretty bad-ass. Someone out there should do some kind of life sized Diorama or animatronic display. Star Wars Vs. Rainforest cafe' or a wax museum of sorts with 1:1 replicas of armor and creatures. In the "Backlot Tour" at Disney Studios in Florida they have a snowspeeder and Jabba's sand skiff chillin' out in the middle of nowhere, and a 1:1 Darth Maul and a Darth Vader in gigantic themed display cases where you un-load from the tram dilly. If I had the loot, I'd line them up in my living room. Until I figured out how to adapt the gear into everyday clothing.

Am I the only person who would wear a chest protector with blinking lights and an evil looking respirator to the store?

That card is great. I wonder how many parents will buy 'random dude siting in the background' this Christmas.

Since the figure won’t be released until next year, no parent will be buying it this holiday season. However, the sedentary portrait shouldn’t be a factor. With the OT, parents had no problem buying Snaggletooth.



Regarding armor for errands, I probably wouldn't as I’m still single.
