Same thoughts I had when I saw it on FB. Phoning it in isn't enough of a description of this half assed shit.

I’m sure they’ll go back and change it. I think they’re trying to do too much. They should scale back a tad and let their sculptors and employees breathe a little.

I think Hot Toys has some tough choices going forward. Creative freedom is better left to statues. It’s time to enhance the sculpts of these figures with digital technology.

I don’t want to say outright cheat, but come on man. Do something. That looks nothing like her, the costume and hairstyle notwithstanding.

Hasbro has access to real scans of the actors that they use for their toys, it's always bothered me that Hot Toys hasn't utilized that yet. Every sculpt they've ever made is flawed to some extent, why not embrace this new technology that would only improve their figures?

There's something horribly wrong when a $20 figure has a better likeness of an actor/actress than a $240+ "premium product".

Pretty much. Even the Figuarts has a better likeness and they’re spotty as well.

It's about time she got some training. Poor thing hasn't been able to do anything with The Force for two movies. :rolleyes:

Some new Mythos statues are coming out. I only have the earlier Darth Maul one, but I may have to pick up these two.

Yeah, I was surprised to see she was one of the characters they chose. I really hope they make a Darth Talon too.

Ventress looks sick. Palp looks alright. I never got into the line early on. I wish I did. I almost bought the Maul and Vader but never did. Cool to see Sideshow still continuing the line.

Ventress looks pretty kewl.

Emperor looks like the regular emperor. Thought these were supposed to be alternate takes/looks for the characters?

I think sometimes they tweak the designs, but Darth Vader and Darth Maul looked pretty normal. Darth Maul just had his shirt off.

Kenobi was really the only one that was a different look.

I'm so happy to have the line back. I am kind of afraid of what they will cost this time and lack of space will stop me from getting them all but Asajj looks awesome.

I'm glad they're continuing the line, too. I'm expecting them to cost $500-550--which is ridiculous considering the first ones were $250-300 if I remember right.

Also,

Most of these look pretty damn cool! They definitely have to do Darth Revan and Darth Talon!
