I just bought these two new evolution packs. The pilots pack is about the same as the first release. The clone LAAT pilot has a cool helmet, the EP. 3 clone pilot is in a black jump suit like black variant of the ROTS pilot, the TIE pilot is a clone and not that darklighter figure and has the TIE pilot helmet from the Baron Von whats -his-name Comic pack.
-
Any pics? And what do you think of the new Republic Commando? Is he really superarty?
-
The Arc trooper is the Alpha comic figure only red, the republic commando is the same body as the other RCs only repainted, the storm commando is kinda cool its a variant of a shadow scout. I think i did this right. There's an album at photobucket : maunster_2009. The pics are not the best, I have an old crappy camera.

I modified your image from your album Maunster and you can see I just used the img code (bottom one) from photobucket and pasted it right in. I hope you don't mind I am gonna post a few of your other pics.

I am so ticked the new RC is not superarty. That bites. Boy do I like the look of the gunship pilot and the storm commando though!
Anyone else get thier hands on this loose and can you confirm that it is not super articulated? Did you open this Maunster?
-
I didn't see these yet, I will have to keep an eye open.
-
Uh-huh... told ya so.
What - me? Bitter?
Maybe a LITTLE!!

You sure did Doc! You were all over that one.
-
I haven't opened it yet. I'm supposed to be getting another one in the next few days. Upon closer examination I think his legs might be super articulated. Compared to the other RCs the foot looks turned and there is a separation between the knee pad and the upper leg armor.
-
Hey, I'm still hopeful... it *is* an Evo pack, after all, and Hasbro seems to be a little more...interested in quality on them. Eh, we'll see when Maunster or I get one opened. I *might* be thru a TRU & Target tomorrow and if so, I'll own one if I see one.
-
I just opened the RC Evo, the RC is in fact super articulated.
-
That's good to hear, Didn't they get Fis armor color wrong, I thought Omega went flat black?
-
The package says " Fi Skirata (RC-8015) serves as a team medic in Teroch and Omega Squad, easing tensions with his sense of humor."
-
i'm going to HAVE to get that evo commando pack. LOVE those. I've got the exclusive shadow scout and bike... but I've been wanting to do my own custom shadow speeder and that scout from that pack is def. going to be it's rider.
-
Hey Maunster, where did you score that imperial pilots pack? I didnt see them in the blue ridge store on Fri.
That rc has the same arms, head, upper and lower torso as the old one but the legs and feet are different sculpts and quite super arty. The shoulder/arm joints only swing forward and back like the old one.
-
where did you get the rc one? is it an exclusive to a store?
-
Ok, so we have articulated hips/knees/ankles? Ball-hips or no? *holds breath*
-
Sorry Doc, no ball joints. Only Knees and ankles
Clonehead, I got the Imperial pilots at Rollin Park W-M. I know one of the managers at that W-M. ;D
-
I know this might sound like a dumb question but, Should I try to get my hands on more of these ?
-
The ball-joint hips were a dream, admittedly. But having artic. knees and ankles - YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! My commando squad will be able to actually take up semi-decent action poses! RC PNs will happen!! Doc Does Triple Zero in full action figure scale!! Or, well, favorite excerpts from it, at least.
Mebbe I could butcher an ARF for the ball-hips to implant...
Maunster, depends on how well you like Commandos! I'll be buying several, as I can 1- find and 2- afford them. But then, I plan to replicate the "apartment scene" from Triple Zero and NEED 8 RCs. ;D
-
That sounds like a good idea on the ARFs hips. If you do a transplant I'd like to see pics of that procedure.
-
Wow, this thread has been busy. I am glad I can go get rid of my superarty question to hasbro. I wonder if I should change it to why did you only go half way with the articulation?
-
Yeayyyyyy on the knees and feet.
Boooooooo on the shoulders and hips.
Once again so close, and so far at the same time.
There is always the next release I guess.
I have not seen anything new in weeks, except rerelease JSF's and repack fig waves.
I feel a roadtrip in the coming weeks...
-
I love the TIE Pilots the Ace stripes are nice, and the Gunship Pilot is actually the V-Wing Pilot if anyone has the Episode 3 Cross section book open it up and take a look exact helmet and armour, I do not care for the repacked ep 3 pilot or the commando or alpha 17, I only like the TIE pilots the Storm Commando, and of course the rebel pilots I have managed 2 Imperial pilot packs need 8 more to build up my TIE Ace Pilots.
