Comments on: Toy Fair Goes Hi-Rez http://www.galacticblogger.com/blogger/2007/02/13/toy-fair-goes-hi-rez/ Because somebody has to...

Thanks for posting the Hi-Res pic of Vader. Since you said we need to ask for specific characters, here's my request for hi-res pics: Female Imperial Officer and both "stormtroopers" from the Force Unleashed line. I'd ask for more from the regular line, but those three will suffice for now. (E-mail me privately with them if you don't want to put them out for everyone. I've got some cool Photoshop effects I'd like to do with them, especially the troopers and would happily send them back to you to see what I did with them.) Again thanks for this article.

I just read that tidbit and that sounds highly promising. A turbo tank would be freaking awesome. I would settle for an expanded universe clone tank like in the comics. They could make one of those for the twenty dollar price point they seem to be so fond of. An AT-TE would be the best thing of all though. I am one of those collectors who normally doesnt drop a lot of cash on vehicles, but I certainly would for an AT-TE, or a Turbo Tank for that matter.

I envision Gargan appearing in a Battle of Jabba's Palace back that include Gargan, Luke Skywalker (Saga endor sans gear, complete with wrongly gloved hand), Beedo (exactly the same paint ops as comm tech greedo), Boba Fett (same saga ktibash from 2006) and C-3PO (, VOTC because we all need MORE bad C-3PO's). Jabba, of course, will be a cardboard backdrop, because he's not kewl enough to reissue...

Give me that big vaporator over a cape any day, though. I'll learn to sew my own. Michael Rex – not exactly making apologies, but trying to explain things as they stand at this moment.
