    The fact I got BURRRRNNNNEEED doesn't change the fact that this will most likely end up a hot mess. But hey, you just keep buying them if it makes you feel better. :)

    QFT, only time I can think of them doing that is with the Y-Wing mold, which went from Pilot to Anakin via remold, but those were both released in the last few year or so, so its still pretty recent.

    Now what we SHOULD be concerned about is how they're gonna re-use that freaking fantastic Yoda mold.

    Meant it all in good fun. :)  I had hoped the BLARING ANGRY CAPS would make it seem joke-y. :D

    Wow, Star Wars version of Ani Shockwave. Neat idea.

    I'm quite intrigued. I love Star Destroyers, faction-switchers, and let's face it, every toy collection ought to have a Darth Vader in it somewhere.

    They are designed by the former Galoob Action Fleet team who was absorbed into Hasbro, same team responsible for the Titaniums IIRC.

    I think IF TakaraTomy was brought onboard to engineer them we'd have a completely different scenario. With that said, there are some notable releases, but only a few IMHO:
    • Magnaguard Starfighter
    • Death Star Darth Vader

    If this turns out awesome, I will be all over this. Chances are, though, it'll be a crock of shit like most SWTF's have been.

    Honestly, I'm having a hard time imagining this turning out well. Not because it's a Star Wars Crossovers figure, but because of the 4-modes. I would love to be proven wrong though.

    I'm REALLY hoping they use the TIE bomber mold again. It would be most beneficial to a kitbash of mine, and I haven't had any luck getting a hold of the first, and only, use of the mold.

    i'm looking forward to see yet another massive sized toy getting released! i do have a Death Star Darth Vader, but here's my problem....1. will it be released here in scotland & in the UK? 2.how much will it cost?(if it is)+ how are people supposed to afford it with the current economic climate? 3.@ the moment in scotland! we're being drip-fed starwars crossovers & with spring & summer coming up! that's not likely to change till much later in the year! & finally 4. So far...we've had Marvel & Star Wars Crossovers...but...where's the Star Trek, Dr Who & other sci-fi related crossovers?

    Looks like an ad from the 80s... Looks like the figure has a hell of a backpack too! I still want it.

    Lol I was thinking the same think, JC Penny's Wish Book Photo. I think those big ass Wings over his shoulder should be folded down as a cape. Mistransform?

    Probably. If not, that'd be a real let down.
