A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, merchandising concerns resulted
in one of the weirder crossover properties. Using their knowledge of the
Force, certain individuals learned how to change themselves (or others) into
spaceships...ships that could themselves transform into robots resembling
their pilots! At least, that's what the packaging seems to indicate.
The Standard toys are $15 (or so) and generally about 6-7 inches tall in
robot mode. The Ultras are $35, the only example at the moment is a combiner
team with light and sound gimmicks. Supreme has been added with a $50 Darth
Vader/Death Star, 10-11 inches tall.
- Wave 1: Darth Vader (TIE Advanced), General Grievous (Wheel Bike), Obi-Wan
Kenobi (Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter). REVIEW.
- Wave 1.5: Luke Skywalker (X-Wing) added into the mix as a running
change. Reviewed along with Wave 1.
- Wave 2: Darth Vader again, Anakin Skywalker (recolor and head remold of
Obi-Wan), Darth Maul (Sith Infiltrator), Boba Fett (Slave I). REVIEW.
- Wave 3: Jango Fett (Slave-1, recolor), Emperor Palpatine (Imperial
shuttle), Clone Pilot (ARC-170). Re-ships of Darth Maul and Anakin Skywalker
round out the case assortment. REVIEW.
- Wave 4: Darth Vader (black Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter with Vader helmet),
recolored Clone Pilot (ARC-170), reships of Anakin and Jango. Did not buy
any, so no review from me. I did get a guest review of Darth Vader and the ARC-170.
- Wave 5: Saesee Tiin (Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter), Clone Pilot (Republic
Gunship), Mace Windu (purple-trim Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter), reships of Darth
Vader (TIE Advanced) and Emperor Palpatine. REVIEW.
- Wave 6: Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder), AT-AT Driver (AT-AT), Commander
Cody (Turbo Tank), plus reships of Darth Vader (Eta-2) and Obi-Wan (Eta-2).
REVIEW.
- Wave 7: Obi-Wan (Delta-7 in red with new head), Clone Pilot (Republic
Gunship in tiger stripes), other reships. REVIEW of
just Obi-Wan (not interested in the tiger stripe gunship).
- Wave C1: Now in Crossovers packaging. Obi-Wan (Eta-2, in blue),
Commander Cody (Turbo Tank, no change), Clone Pilot (ARC-170 in
tiger stripes), Boba Fett (Slave-1). Not reviewed. Turns out that there are
no pilot figures with this wave, perhaps they were cut as a cost-saving
measure to avoid having to raise the price.
- Wave C1.5: Anakin Skywalker (Delta-7, in yellow), Luke Skywalker
(snowspeeder, no redeco), reships of Commander Cody and Clone Pilot from Wave
C1. Will not be reviewed.
- Wave C2: Take Commander Cody out of C1.5, add in new molds General
Grievous (Grievous's Starship from ep3) and TIE Pilot (TIE Bomber). There is
apparently a bottomless demand for the tiger-striped redecos. REVIEW of Grievous and TIE Pilot.
- Ultra Wave 1: Han Solo and Chewbacca, combining to form the Millennium
Falcon. REVIEW.
- Supreme Wave 1: Death Star to Darth Vader. REVIEW.
