Whoa, waitaminute...

Since when is the Saga Snowtrooper a new mold? I swear I've read on here countless times that it was a repack like Maul and Leia. I opened an extra one today for the hell of it and discovered a friggin' awesome sculpt. Not only that, but it has a different mold of the E-Web cannon (the trigger is in the hand grips, not on the barrel).
I apologize if this is old news, and I'm sure it is, but I just figured it out today and was a little surprised.

 

Doncha luv those pleasant little suprises. It's too bad he's not a pegwarmer here, I want more of this fella!

 

I just got 4 loose ones in the mail today. I love him.

 

That figure is one of the better ones from 2003... he doesn't have lots of articulation and he's basically locked in one pose, but his detail and his gigantic cannon totally make hime worth every penny of what I paid for him.

 

Snowtrooper is definitely a brand-new figure, I never doubt that for a second. But the followings are not.

Yoda (Jedi High Council): Used the exact same mold and paint from Episode 1.

Yoda (Army of the Republic): Used the exact same mold and paint from SAGA Yoda, but added a jacket.

Ayy Vida (Outlander Nightclub Patron): A slightly remolded figure from one of Jabba's Palace dancers (POTF2). No wonder the face looked so ugly.

R-3PO (Hoth Evacuation): Used the same mold from SAGA deluxe C-3PO, but repaint in red.

 

Actually, of what you mentioned, only the Jedi Council Yoda is a repaint.

The Clone Wars Yoda is a new sculpt. R-3PO is not a repainted deluxe C-3PO, however the Ultra C-3PO is. And Ayy Vida is also new, compare her to Jabba's dancers, the difference is very clear (articulation/pose/actual new sculpt).

 

Ayy Vida is a mix and match of old and new parts. The old parts came from a figure included in the Episode I set that included Watto, the twi'lek, and someone else who I can't think of.

R-3PO is an entirely new figure.

Jedi Council Yoda is the same mold as the Episode I version, but the paint job is totally different.

The Clone Wars Yoda is a new sculpt... the only thing that was reused was the head.

 

nevermind

 

Actually the head is the same, it's the arms and torso that are different, I think.

 

Ayy Vida is a mix and match of old and new parts. The old parts came from a figure included in the Episode I set that included Watto, the twi'lek, and someone else who I can't think of.

Yeah, I can see that now. That 3-pack was so rare I never found one.

 

The new Snowtrooper kicks arse, as others have said, it's a huge improvement over the POTF2 versions and well worth picking up.
