Thoughts on this line

<< < (2/3) > >>

night force cynic:
I love the POTJ line.  Are they severely lacking in articulation?  Yes, by TODAY's standards, but back then it didn't matter because Hasbro was making characters we'd never seen before doing the main characters BETTER than they'd EVER been done before.

Power of the Jedi was the very first time that a 3 3/4" Chewbacca had ever been AS TALL AS HE NEEDED TO BE and Leia was a short as she needed to be compared to Han Solo, it was the first time they were both in true scale from the movies and I was damn excited for it.  That was the first time that the Bespin Escape white jumsuit Leia had ever seen plastic and its still on my favorite figures of her.  POTJ gave us a Boss Nass figure that was not a midget and has a LOT more detail than the shitty EpI figure, it gave us a true-to-the-movie version of podrace announcer, a GREAT (for the time) new Imp Sandtrooper, the first X-Wing Luke since that GOOFY '96 POTF2 mis-named snowspeeder "X-wing" Luke.  And SO MUCH more.



yeah, POTJ was great stuff.  I kind of miss that time.

Phatty:
POTJ didn't get the fanfare it deserved, in my opinion.  NFC Is absolutely correct, in that this line finally brought us correct scale figures, new figures we only dreamed of seeing, and ships that looked to have real playability as opposed to one just in a box.  I think it was this line that spoiled us, to be honest.  It was here we started asking "what if" and "why not."  When looking at older modern figs, I bypass the AOTC, Saga, etc, and check out the POTJ the most.

FialaFernbrugg:
I ordered yesterday the POTJ Lando Calrissian (Bespin) and the Rebel Fleet Trooper. I can't wait to get them.
