They gave the tusken new elbows?

I’m def down for Luke and DSD...  the Tusken if he has new arms too but I didn’t think he was changed at all.

She mentioned it specifically. I'll see if I can find a screen grab.

Yup, new elbows and new headsculpt, according to the rep on the video.

I do like this Tusken!  I wonder if he'll sit on the Bantha?
This is the way.

That’s awesome they did that much of an update.  I liked the old one honestly.  I’m down for a handful of these dudes now, a couple Lukes and a couple Droids too.  Good wave, really.

I guess some bitching about Luke’s poncho and helmet is out there... 

Now, this may shock some of you but I kinda like removable helmets.  But you can’t do that on a Luke like this without the head looking oddly small or the hat looking oddly large.  And the poncho is a nice improvement (to my eye) over the last one we got (which was ok to me). 

Leia’s poncho was especially nice I thought with the green being more prominent from what I recall. 

I take what we get and try to find the positive these days.  I feel like these are pretty damn cool.

Didn't they do an Endor Luke with a removable helmet already?  I don't think it looked bad at all.

Death Star Droid
Endor Luke Skywalker
Tusken Raider

They must slowly be putting these up.  Luke is up, but DSD just got the image.  The Tusken is still the template page.

Only Luke is in stock... I'm not ordering until they're all there so I can get free shipping.

In a perfect world, we'd get 2 different head sculpts (one with a helmet, one without), and a spare empty helmet.

I ordered three Tuskens and a DS Droid.  I don't really need the Luke.
