Ok guys, I picked up my haul today. Type Formula, Knuckle, and 3x Battle droids and clone troopers.
As described in the posts above, the Clone Trooper has the same fucked up leg situation as the original Stormtrooper. The thigh armor extends up way too high for the hip joint to be rotated forward. Totally stupid since they have two solutions (three, really). Reduce the leg armor, make a slider mechanism to get it out of the way, or use the old drop-style hips. All would work but Bandai completely dropped the ball on this pretty high profile release (licensed under SW banner blah blah blah) I have two solutions which i did on my opened trooper: 1) Pull the leg down, away from the hip joint, down along the connector peg. This will drop the leg further down, give you additional mm's of clearance. Not perfect, but not really invasive, doesn't affect other articulation or do any damagen i can see 2) Pull the leg off entirely. Take an Exacto knife. Hack off as much armor as you want. The plastic is pretty cut-able. It's white plastic, and when you put it back, there's a black joint so you can't really tell any difference, all you're exposing is the trooper's under suit.

So ugh, has anyone else noticed Amazon seems to be listing a lot of new 'art' stuff again? I don't mean sellers, either. I mean Shipped and Sold by Amazon.
Vegeto, SS. Son Goku, Spitfire Godzilla, Sailor V (No Sailor Pluto Oddly), lightning effects, water effects. Anyone have a clue whats going on with that? I was under the impression Blufin and Amazon were done. |

So I just got an email from Amazon saying they have canceled my Gold Freeza preorder. Is anyone surprised by this at this point?

Mace Windu is the next release in the SW line, he'll come out in May 2016. Official pics are here .
Looks pretty cool, but I won't buy one. However, if the previous pattern of releasing a good guy and a bad guy from each movie first continues we might see Jango Fett soon. And I'm pretty excited for that one. |
