Yeah the Vader goes like this:

Still this is the best thing I've ever seen.

Sweeeeeeet!!!!

NEED. NOW.

 

Yes the Vader was there at the sideshow booth and yes I will be getting one.

 

I do love that new Kit Fisto Maquette. Also, they have redesigned the Galactic Heroes after the Clone Wars figures. Check out the new Fisto hero fig: http://www.rebelscum.com/sdcc09/hasbro-sw/image225.asp

Quite excellent.

 

Yeah those are cool and during the hasbro panel they had the galatic heroes brand manager there talking about the line. She said that they have loads planned for it and she loves working on it and the designer for most of these little guys was at the booth and was swamped by fans/collectors asking questions.

TOO MUCH COOL STUFF!!!!.

 

ZOMG!! They have an Ackbar galactic hereo - AWESOME!!!

 

It's a TRAP!!!
