You mean other than being fortified with the USDA recommended amount of Force goodness?
APRIL 2nd @ 12:00 AM WILL SEE THE RELEASE OF THE ROTS MERCHANDISE. WHO’S GOING TO BE THERE ???
BTW, SOME STORES HAVE ACTUALLY PUT OUT THE ROTS MERCHANDISE BY MISTAKE ALREADY. THE LOCAL SUNCOAST HAS DONE THIS AS WELL AS ONE OF THE LOCAL WAL-MART STORES.

I've seen the toy lightsabers stacked 15-24 high then the next day they are all gone... I've even seen two collectors almost go to blows over the Darth Vader figure a few days ago!

There was one. I wanted to get it. The ARC Fighter looks pretty cool. If I buy anything, it will probably be the ships. I've kinda stopped buying the figures. They just keep getting worse and worse.

I don't know if he is the AOTC mold or not, but I don't think he is, he seems to have much more articulation than I remember the AOTC figures having.
As for the Unleashed, I've found most of my collection of the figures(consisting of a measly 5 because I've just recently got into them) for 16 dollars or less.
Hardly enough to break the bank IMO.
But the Gentle Giant statues are another story.

Sculpting - **1/2
This is such a confounding figure. Why? Because the sculpt is so good - and yet so bad.
The detail work on the head sculpt is great. The hair, the Shar-Pei skin, the scale of the head, all great. There's no softness to the sculpt either, with deep, sharply cut detail work. So how come it's so bad?
Good God, just look at that expression! I'm assuming this was supposed to mimic the picture on the box, with the evil grin of Sidious peering out from under the cloak. Ignoring that the photo makes him look a tad too much like the Grinch, the actual expression on the figure looks nothing like this.
What it does remind me of is my old Uncle Wilbur when he found out it was Jell-O night at the rest home. Oh, he's happy all right, but not in a "I'm an evil master of the universe!" sort of way. No, it's more of a "Hmmm, I wonder if I can get some marshmallows in my hot chocolate...you know, I really love marshmallows in my hot chocolate." sort of expression.
Often I mention situations where a concept is great, but the execution ends up flawed. Here is the more rare reverse case - the execution of the sculpt is great, with artistic talent and detail, but the concept of this goofy expression is completely flawed.
