Battle Droid figures are not really too exciting; it doesn't matter how their painted.  I also don't think Hasbro has every really mastered a sculpt that captures their duck-walk posture from the films.

We collectors now have loads of very cool clones and repainted Starfighters, but very cool (or at least very boring) opponents for them to battle. The robot vehicles in particular are just lame. If Hasbro is reading this I hope that the TV and Animated series give us some better bad guys to buy--something we would want to do army building. I think the Kris Kimball raises a good point.

I would like to see a four pack or more of battle droids. Maybe its just me, but they seem harder to troop build than clones do. Maybe its because clones are a whole lot more cool than driods, but the clones need someone to fight besides Jedi's.  Max Rebo's band thing sounds cool. I know its SE, but it would be cool to have the weequay drummer in a set like that. Thats cool that they are going to make a new Oola next year. I cant wait for that. The exclusive mail away one is too expensive for having no better articulation than what she does.   OOM-9 would be cool. I would like to see a four pack or more of battle droids.

Gargan… (Drool!!!)

When approximately? Where can I read more? Frankly (yeah yeah, this is the standard ol'school complaint) I'd rather NOT have any of Jabba's dancers, even if they could "get down" on their knees. Why not make this the perfect opportunity to throw in a SE Gargan (with kick-action!), maybe a less yellow Oola, and some other party-down denizen we don't yet have or need an update of? And while I'd LOVE it to be a classic version of Sy Snootles, I won't hold my breath knowing it has a snow ball's chance, so I'd settle for the updated 3 piece band and some extras. Again, I could do without any of the special ed musicians or add-ons. They just add a certain inauthenticity to the whole scene and inject cynicism into a universe that had relegated cynicism to the dust bin! Okay, I'm starting to rant about  the classic OT vs. SE and that can only lead to the dark side...just to say I'd rather have other characters from that scene that span both versions, rather than the dancers. OOM-9 looks good too! I think I missed something somewhere….there will be a Max Rebo box set? When approximately? Where can I read more?

Do this figure and do it now! I would really like to see a battlepack or an exclusive with the different marked battle droids. Red, green, blue...for each of the different functions they perform. I have always been dumbfounded as to why we never got pilot battle droids carded or a re-release of the security battle droid (Naboo battlepack notwithstanding.) This would be a good choice to represent Episode I! Amen! Do this figure and do it now!
