If I get this then I'll have 3. I bought 2 originally - one to repaint the hair and one to keep boxed with the original paint apps.

Is it me or does the hair still look a bit brownish? The hair is definitely gray but I still seem to see some brown in there, like its a coat away from not being noticeable. I'd have to see the final product in person.

I didn't want to start a thread about this so I posted it in here, as this was revealed today as well.

More 5POA crap.

Post by: Jodo on July 22, 2016, 05:48:18 PM: I actually don't mind the 5 POA figures' sculpts this time around; however I'm still not picking them based on principle. :-X

The AT-ACT looks good too, I love the design...But It's way too underscaled. I'll be passing on that as well (most likely).

Post by: Commander_Kurgan on July 22, 2016, 09:35:14 PM: I'll be able to pick up the heads, helmets and weapons as resin casts through the cottage industry. Hasbro will not get a single Cent from me for this load of osik.

Yeah, that new AT-ACP is a bit of a downer. I was so hoping to see that vehicle get the big treatment like the did the venerable AT-AT.

Post by: JDeck on July 23, 2016, 01:24:13 PM: Now I'm trying to be optimistic here. I know they're 5pos figures, but you can use the head sculpts and accessories on similar enough SA figures. And its more cost effective than mashing two SA figures. The AT-ACT is neat, I gotta say it has potential for a display or a custom of some sorts. Its not outrageously huge, it seems to be sturdy. No nerf gun! I'd have to see it in person, and it has to be at the right price, under $50 for sure. Depending on how good it really looks.

Right now I am hearing it comes with three figures and will be around a $300 price point. I sure hope that is just the rumormill.

Title: Re: SDCC 2016 Reveals
Post by: JDeck on July 24, 2016, 03:15:05 PM: I highly doubt its anywhere near $300. I'm sure its the same retail price as the nerf gun Millennium falcon, about $135. Which is expensive enough. The 6" TIE was $200, now they can't give those things away.

Post by: Goldleaderone on July 24, 2016, 05:27:15 PM: If I remember correctly, in one of the threads on Rebelscum it was rumored around the $150 mark.
Title: Re: SDCC 2016 Reveals
Post by: Tamer on July 25, 2016, 09:05:15 AM: Rumors are rumors folks. I am gonna try to get some clarification on the price point when I send our questions that didn't get answered in. No way I am gonna get his if its over a $100 price point. It just doesn't look as good as the BAT-AT. I would rather have another one of those than the figures and the movement and sounds that come with this.

That being said our latest q and a with Hasbro and a new gallery are on the front page and on facebook.

Post by: JDeck on July 28, 2016, 02:06:45 PM: I found a little information on the AT-ACT.
http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2016/07/hasbro-reveals-rogue-one-walking-at-act.html?m=1
It walks via smartphone, and it does shoot nerf darts. Why can't they just make a regular one without all the bells and whistles, and nerf guns. I imagine it will be $300. Ohh well, one less thing to buy.
Title: Re: SDCC 2016 Reveals
Post by: Tamer on July 29, 2016, 09:21:36 AM: I think its safe to assume way over what we will want to pay for it. Nerf darts, figures.
Title: Re: SDCC 2016 Reveals
Post by: Goldleaderone on August 19, 2016, 07:19:51 PM: Looks like the price for the AT-ACT has been confirmed. Hope everyone is sitting down for this.

$279.99

Yeesh.

Post by: Tamer on August 20, 2016, 05:24:44 AM: Well there is one no one will buy until it hits rock bottom. Epic fail yet again Hasbro!

To think we got the beautiful Big AT-AT for a hundred bucks that looked great and had all kinds of electronics, a speederbike and figures.

We don't need darts for for it to walk! Oh the pain.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and I will get it shared.
