Yes, I will buy multiples of him Clint. Course I am a bit biased.

Truthfully, the R2 unit and Wilrow Hood are my least favorites from this wave.  I'd like the HK-50, but I don't see me buying multiples of these for openers.  I do think I need a few of them Zuckuss...might have to make some Gand Jedi and Sith!

That Willrow Hood (hunh?  he was in one of the movies?) looks a lot like some of the guys down in Maintenance here on the 'Station...

I just love Hood because he was a collector generated figure. I don't know why, but folks cried for him for years and it shows Hasbro is listening to us. I will get one for the complete wave.

Man, the more I look a Zuckuss, the more excited I get!  And if anyone's an opener and looking to get rid of the HK-50, I'll pay well for it!

I really liked Zuckuss from the novels and EU comics.
Most of which also involved Boba Fett.
Pretty artwork and good action filled stories really ROCK.

AT-AT driver definatly and (of course) R2-X2  hes been colour adjusted since the EE droid pack release so he is dark green not black next to R2 & R5-D4 he is the astro with the most movie time in ANH

body looks odd to me on that driver, but I'll still get a few to man the ATAT, of course.

actually, I could deal with this entire wave, lol.

Everyone in this wave except for the AT-AT Driver is a solid purchase, only say that because I don't need another one.

I need a couple of those ATAT drivers to man my ITT for a specific pic in one of my Fixer stories...  Looks good!

Ofcourse we just can' t all make helmetless and superarty versions like you can Fett. I still treasure that removeable helmet atat driver as one of my favorite customs guy. I appreciate you making it for me. I must say the helmet on it is not as big looking as this one, but still you gotta admit they did make an honest attempt at this one.  I will be replacing every saga 2 one with these unless I can twist your arm again.

LOL. I was yanking your chain guy, I have no idea what I am gonna do with em. I might just keep em as they seem more of an accurate size. Who knows what crazy ideas I will come up with though.

I have to admit they did a great job improving this guy since then but that Saga2 version was very nice and it did everything I need it to do. I actually will get this newer version though so I can make a custom Snow Trooper Lt. It is too bad his helmet looks so large.

Can anyone find me a snowtrooper captain or lieutenant pic we can add as a fan's choice figure? That is a good idea Fett.
Title: Re: Droid Factory Wave 7
Post by: dana.raye.smith on July 30, 2009, 09:32:56 PM
I might have found you a pic!
A Snowtrooper Lieutenant:(if I did This right)
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Snowtr.jpg
But  i cant find a snowtrooper captain pic
Would the snowtroopers be considered army or naval forces? naval ranks are higher than army ranks  in all universes, so a naval lieutenant would be a ground captain and a naval captain would be a ground colonel (if I figured it right).
Since the Snowtroopers are supposed to be a specialized branch of Stormtroopers, I would venture to guess they are ground forces.(unlike the Galactic Marine from whom they are derived which are naval forces??)
Me being an army sergeant it makes no difference to me, I am enlisted and they are grossly overpaid IMO...
There are pics of the ranks during imperial reign, but each is slightly different. Two versions (at least) exist, early=version one and later=version two.
The pic in the link says lieutenant, but that looks like a ground forces rank and I am unable to see the cylinders beside the top color boxes.
These are the later=version two rank descriptions (because of the pic and box colors look like this version):
 Two cylinders, one  on each side of the top bar is a ground lieutenant.
One cylinder, on the right side of the top bar is a ground captain.
Both ranks contain two rows of two boxes atop each other, top being red and bottom being blue.
Probably didn't clear much up, but maybe we got a pic!
