So let's look at the list of re-paints so far & soon to come: 2 Luke, 2 Vader, 2 Han, & 2 Maul. WHY?!? There are so many characters that could come out, why make re-paints already. I understand that companies assume a line MUST have a certain main character to hold the line together, but that's not always true. Mighty Muggs have become a huge success with collectors and kids alike, and a lot of the big main characters have been the ones left on the shelves. Where are all the crazy, off-the-wall characters that we want? When will Hasbro hold a fan poll to pick the next line of Muggs, or at least the next figure?
What do you think?

I'm getting Darth Revan, so I can't complain much.  I personally love Hoth Han, it'll be a SW standout. Beyond that, though, I tend to agree--though the sliced hand on Luke is sweet, and the new Maul is totally rockin' with the six pack. The new Vader, though? Complete waste of another character's spot. Why not Kit Fisto WITH Plo Koon? That would've been a rockin' line. |

Exactly! The Bespin Luke stands out because of the hand, Maul does look awesome, and Han is a staple design, but why so soon? Hoth Han could have been a Jawa, & one of the Lukes could have been old Obiwan, and the 2nd Vader could have been another Jedi. The list is endless!

I really think it's because they need to make multiplies of the "big names" in order to make the lesser known guys. I dont mind Luke 2, Maul 2, Solo 2....but I will agree what is up with Vader 2? I see no difference really..... The helmet seems different but that may just be me.

Maul isn't really a huge name, honestly. I mean, he gets manhandled in the first flick. That spot could've went to older Obi-Wan or someone just as important who hasn't been made yet.

I agree. There are practically no differences with Vader, and "WOW" a Maul with his shirt off...
The only one in the Marvel line that can be accussed is Cpt. America... I think. We haven't seen the new Wolverine yet...

No way he's very popular. Vader, Luke, Han, Obi-Wan, Yoda... Very popular. He's on par with Mace, Lando, Boba, Grievous, etc, at best. Why not Qui Gon?

You dont think Boba is popular? He is probably the biggest cult character from the SW universe. Maul is a very popular character as well. I Am talking in collectors eyes not main stream. There are alot more collectors of Boba and Maul stuff than Obi.

Boba's one of my favorite characters. They are popular, just not VERY popular. That was my point. And if we're doing fan service, why not Kit Fisto? He's a fairly popular cult character. |

I agree Kit is. My comment is just meant to say, in order to get some of the lesser known characters. Your going to have to deal with doubles, maybe triples of the more known guys. Thats all. |

As long as they're very different, I don't mind so much. If you've gotta do a double of Vader, it's totally gotta be dying, old, bleached Vader, not what they're giving us there.  |

Completely agree. Wish it was a removable helmet....or like you said old, dying, bleached.
