I've seen a lot of pictures of the 30th Anniversary collection figures. Mace Windu, Galactic Marine, Obi-Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, etc.
The new Obi-Wan Kenobi figure looks cool, however he is missing one important accessory.

From this angle this figure looks just like the original painting.

With the McQuarrie Han Solo Figure, anyone know what that may look like?

One of Lucas' original drafts for 'A new hope' described Han as an alien with green skin and gills... That could be it  .
I also found this early concept sketch, which is of a human Han Solo
Han Solo concept
I guess it depends on which direction they want to go.

Yeah, that's where the thought came from, because I remember Han possibly being an alien. Anyhow, that's interesting art. Looking forward to when we finally see it, hopefully Toy Fair.

I haven't opened any of the figures.... yet. But I was asked to review the Marine at TheJawa.com, so I'll have to open him sooner or later, haha!
I'll take some pics next Friday, since that's when I'm at home during the day.
I'm also curious to the articulation of the SBD. Funny you should mention it, because I have mixed feeling about this figure. I don't really like the flames, but I like the fact that they're removable. Then again, he has two holes in his chest to click the flames in! Why not a more subtle approach like Gen.Veers' armor? But.... the SBD can "interact" with the R2-D2 from this wave, which is pretty cool.
I already know I don't like the Mustafar miner. I don't like his posed legs.
The rest of this wave looks very good and I must say, I like the new packaging style. Very daring. I don't know if the coins are sturdy or not, but I'll let you know that as well on Friday.

Judging from the pic of the concept Chewie figure. This might be where Hasbro is going with the next few concept hero figures. If so.....I like it!

Locally, our pegs runneth over with the slower selling Saga 2 figures... I hope that doesn't delay the 30th anniversary collection any more than it already is.

I got 5 more Marines in the mail today  , and a Mace Windu and Airbourne Trooper from the same wave. The Marine is my favourite clone of all time now...
I wrote a review on him. Check it out.. (with pictures!)

I happened upon a similar situation last night at Wal-Mart. There was one large display of Collector Tins, an entire end display filled with Greatest Battles figures (mostly Shocktrooper, Padme, and Palpatine), and a separate two shelves in the model car aisle filled with those bonus buy two packs, which all contained Saga figures from the Endor/Naboo wave. The normal Star Wars section at this store had mostly Greatest Battles, with a couple of Endor/Naboo figures mixed in.
