I want the bounty hunters and that white Vader

[Stevy Maximus]

Grand Admiral Thrawn and Talon Karrade (the Zahn pack) FOR DA WIN!

 

The Shadows of the Empire set is fairly nifty as well, I have fond memories of Shadows.

The Imperial Knights look incredible, Draco's headsculpt is just dead on. Darth Talon looks great too, but I'm a little disappointed with Cade. Probably be snagging as many Knights comic packs as I can find for sure, though.

[JayC]

Legacy #6: Antares Draco & Grann Kieg and Legacy #2: Cade Skywalker & Darth Talon are due out on 8/15/08.

 

Republic #69: Asaaj & Tol Skorr and Obbsession #3: Anakin Skywalker & Durge are due out in June/July.

 

Wal-Mart will be getting some exclusive comic backs due out on 7/1

I love that Xizor and Thrawn. I hope we get some Tales Of The Jedi after these.

 

I was hoping to see Guri somewhere. :angry:

[CapnJeffro]

Thrawn and Xizor are awesome! I just want a Dash Rendar and a few other Shadows characters. In fact they need to remake every Expanded Universe from the POTF2 era in new SA sculpts and plop them in comic packs. I really don't like the Marvel packs, though, not a fan of the colors and I wish we could get a real Dengar (just need him and Zuckuss for my Bounty Hunter scene.) And again I like the white Vader from Infinities, but they used the inferior sculpt. Gah.

[Archer1120]

I am really happy. One of the only Marvel SW comics that I own is the one w/ Dengar and Fenn which also has Leia and Tobbi Dala in it. It is really awesome to see those 2 Mandalorians as figures. I'm smilin ear to ear!

[Black Zarak]

I'm glad they're putting out a new Durge (since I missed the first non-cartoon styled one) but I would have really preferred that he had an interchangeable hand in place of the giant claw one. I know that's how he looks in that issue, but still.

[I AM SCI-FI]

Could someone, please, tell me about the white Darth Vader? What comic is he from? What's the story behind his look?

That figure is awesome. It fits perfectly with a fan story that I created. In it, Anakin Solo has been resurrected by his sister, Jaina, who used Sith Dark Force knowledge to do so. Like, Darth Sidious eluded to in Ep. III. Anakin has to use a suit like his grandfathers, but it's white with the blue lenses in the mask. However, he uses a blue lightsaber that the handle looks like Vaders. Anakin rechristens himself Ligdi Redav.

 

Ligdi = Light Knight of the Jedi - Redav, of course, is Vader spelled backwards (original, I know)

Darth = Dark Lord of the Sith

I believe it's from Dark Horse's Infinities: Return of the Jedi

That is it.

 

In short... Luke dies or falls to the darkside (been awhile since I read it) and Leia takes his place as a jedi. In the showdown on DS II, Vader returns to the light but isn't critically injured by force lightning. Leia takes him back to the Alliance and he is refitted with a new armor and is eager to continue the fight against the remnant.

[Wheeljack35]

You would think that him being a Jedi again he would get a less menacing looking mask

[Black Zarak]

You'd also think he'd have another lightsaber color. Granted, he's only in one panel at the very end without his lightsaber drawn, but red is really associated with the Sith.

I hope to get several of the Imperial Knights packs so I can do some head swaps and create more knights. They are great looking figures and a cool concept.

[Mr Nobody]

I'm with you here! I loved these characters the first time they appeared!

 

I have to cancel my Fenn custom now (Not sure about the Jango guns, though. I don't remember him having those, unless it came later{toward the end of the Marvel series}) Might get 2 Leia/Tobi packs to fix that.
