2011 the vintage collection wave 2 (wave 6)
hasbro release the 2nd mixed-wave for 2011 vintage collection series in march. this wave consists of six brand new figures from various movies along with reissues of figures from previous waves (vc25 r2-d2 bartender, vc26 rebel commando, vc31 obi-wan (attack of the clones), vc36 senate guard, vc38 212th clone trooper and vc41 stormtrooper).
the empire strike back
vc44 luke skywalker (dagobah landing)
this is another variation of luke in his pilot outfit. the figure depicts luke after he crash-landed on dagobah. this is a figure base on the already excellent luke pilot with some new parts some might question the use of such scene specific depiction of character on vintage style card but this give collector a chance to get somewhat new figure and cool card. the cardback picture is excellent that not only look great on the vintage style card but also very iconic.
the lightsaber is switch to the darker blue color.
attack of the clones
vc45 clone trooper
this is an all new phase I armor clone trooper from attack of the clone movie. the figure is all new with more slimmer leg design and removable helmet. it is another strange choice to get all new figure since the most recent one is very good. this one does have removable helmet (which seems to be the unwritten requirement for the vintage line). overall this new sculpt is an improvement over the previous version. the helmet does looks a little off probably because of the fact that they are removable. the figure looks great by itself but looks a bit off standing next to the "fatter" legs clones. the cardback photo is good and in style with the rest of vintage theme.
vc49 fi-ek sirch (jedi knight)
this figure is a really odd choice, consider how obscure this character is in the movie. hasbro seems to really like this character and gives him a complete make-over. this is an all new figure of the previously release unnamed nikto jedi knight. he is an all new sculpt with great articulations and nice real cloth robe (though doesn't quite match the photo next to the figure) it is interesting that hasbro subtitle his name with "jedi knight". the cardback photo is excellent and very fitting with vintage style look. there is variation with lightsaber, some figures come with darker blue saber.
fi-ek figure also sold with darker blue light saber.
revenge of the sith
vc46 at-rt driver
hasbro love for the clone is pretty obvious in recent years especially to help tie the product line with the more kid friendly the clone wars animated series. however it is still a surprise to get all new at-rt driver figure since the previous version was not all that bad but why complain, a new improve version is always good. it is good to see hasbro continued to integrate new innovation into a figure even the one as recent as this at-rt driver figure. the new figure has removable helmet (package with helmet off). some of the figures have the backpack pack separately.
return of the jedi
vc47 general lando carlrissian
this is probably one of the figure fan have been looking forward to, general lando carlrissian figure on vintage cardback and not the old power of the force card. this is all new lando figure and he is one of the best iteration yet of this particular lando. the only flaw is the big cape tie but it does give the figure that vintage style over-size look.
vc48 weequay (skiff master)
this is an all new figure and he looks great not to mention nice cardback. he seems to be favorite with collector. may be more weathering on his tunic would make the figure more authentic but as is he is another excellent alien figures. some of the figures have shorter neck and really help improve the figure.
later weequay figure has the neck length adjusted to smaller length.
vc41 stormtrooper (revision)
this is the most unexpected revision. later shipment of wave 6, stormtrooper which is a carry over from last wave, got substantial revision. the helmet no longer has the black line above the eyes (he no longer looks like he's wearing sunglasses), dots on the abdomen are now painted, and the best part of all is the helmet no longer have that yellowish color.
