New Galactic Heroes Maul with Sith Speeder & More

[Tycho]

There are very few Star Wars items I indulge in these days.

Galactic Heroes is one line I support, albeit intermittantly.

I think I'm going to assemble a Galactic Heroes cantina diorama and get Han & Greedo, Ben and Sandtrooper, Luke & R2 (again), and maybe Chewie and C-3PO (again) and wait for Figrin and Momaw!

If they are doing Darth Maul Tatooine on the Sith Speeder, do you think they'll finally make a Galactic Heroes Qui-Gon Jinn? With the Eopie? Or the first Galactic Heroes JarJar, Watto, or 2nd ever Padme? (didn't they make Padme in her Arena outfit?)

Anyway, I have to hunt down some Galactic Heroes. These are pretty cute!

they made a padme in arena outfit. she's included with the geonosian battle set due out anytime.

you could get a jawa and tusken. while there were no tuskens in the cantina there was a jawa.

Saw that today at Target.

So the Maul is a rumor or a fact? You need to change the title if its rumor.

[Slicker]

I saw pictures of it elsewhere. I don't remember where but it does exist in some form.

[Tycho]

Yeah, Rebelscum has a picture of the Galactic Hero Maul with Sith Speeder.

There's no information on anything else new in that wave. But it's not a repaint / re-release. It's a new sculpt with Maul's hood up and a single blade on his lightsaber lit (IIRC).

[Kidhuman]

Oh really, sounds interesting then. I thought you were going with what you wanted made.

[Tycho]

What I want made for Galactic Heroes would be Imperial and GAR assault vehicles from the AT-AT to TIE Fighters to the Republic Gunship, and more. They'd be cute, warped in the GH manner, as would be Slave-One.

[Darth Jax]

they're gonna kill GH be going with large packs of figures that are basically all re-releases. they'll sit on the shelves and won't sell and then hasbro will decide there's no market for them. if they'd put out new sculpts they'd find that those would sell. flooding the pegs with repaints/re-releases (especially in a large pack) is only going to clog that precious real estate that is a store shelf.

On the contrary, I am sure these multi pack scenes are simply a Christmas season item to entice people into the lines. It's good 20 dollar gift (as with the unleashed multi packs) that grandma can buy and then next year the kid will want more.
Good idea, for a holiday toy shopping season I think
