Wow! I am like soooooo glad they decided to do a B-wing. Boba Fett looks good. Is it me or is his helmet a bit box shaped? I wonder what sort of head they'll have under it. Han looks like a twit (I still think the Luke minifig looks constapated), (...) (27 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

  I hate professor pith helmet
 
Sorry to rant but I just have to express my disdain for the professor pith helmet figure.

Well, I for one am glad they are continuing the Star Wars line, even if the MF is out of scale and so on.
