| At this point in the game, I only plan on getting two figures from this wave: Luke and the Imperial. That may change when I see them in the stores. |

Most likely I will acquire them all but I am most looking forward to Hoth Luke, Vader, and the Imperial.
Would anyone know as to why we are getting an Anakin like this... I know it is a real life version of the Anakin depicted in the Clone Wars series but is there any other significance than that? I do not recall ever seeing Anakin depicted like this throughout any of the films... please correct me if I am wrong! |

It's an experiment. Fans have been clamoring for years to see characters from The Clone Wars depicted in a realistic style like this. If it proves successful, Hasbro has hinted that they may make a few more, on a limited scale. That means, main characters only. |

Ahh I see... this may be a pass for me, although my mind is already pumping out reasons to justify otherwise. Hasbro knows what they are doing because I swear before this post I was going to pass on him... now I most likely will acquire him.. |

of course I miss out on... Imperial Navy Commander (I want at least one of these but I can wait on him) and Darth Malgus(not planning to acquire anyway although I am sure a reason to justify its purchase will surface sooner or later)
But the others... especially Hoth Luke and a definitive Vader WOO! WOO! Clone Wars Anakin, another Jedi origin Luke to keep carded, Aayla(finally Quinlan has a padawan  ) Kithaba! Dr. Evazan ... This has to be one of the best available waves for order since I have started collecting 2 years ago. very excited I am  ... as you can probably tell. |

| Initially I was not too excited for the animated figures to be made into realistic style but, now I am rather looking forward to them. It is very cool that Hasbro takes animated characters and comes out with realistic versions for us. It doesn't go unappreciated Hasbro, thank you! |

Although I am not interested in these "cross-over" figures, I don't have any problem with Hasbro making them as long as we already have animated versions of these characters available. The only way that I would be remotely bothered by these figures is if Hasbro were to make an animated character available only in the realistic line. |
