outstanding!
is it just me, or are grievous' and amidala's ships on their stands backwards?
:crazed:
great pics, though...not too thrilled about the speeder bike or the at-at, but the others are must-haves

Pretty friggin' sweet looking offerings.
I love the paint on the AT-AT and the Paploo is a novel idea.

i missed the link earlier, but at the bottom of the page, for those interested, you can look at the new "classic colonial viper" as well...i've been pretty gung-ho up to now on the galactica stuff, but this one just doesn't turn my crank for some reason...

I updated both this article and the BSG one on AF with additional text, nothing you guys who have already seen the sets don't know but for anybody who hasn't seen the articles yet, should round 'em out.
As for why they're on their stands backwards, I have no idea, I wondered too but figured it was just more Hasbro photographer weirdness.
Oh, and like a dope, when I changed the category of the BSG article on AF, I forgot to update the link on SSG's story, so whoops! :p Fixed now though.
I am really digging all the new stuff here, Titanium Series is gonna be awesome for '07, I'm really excited to see the Star Skiff, Grievous' Starfighter, and the classic Viper; even the Ani JSF which I don't love the original design on looks decent.

Oh yuk! What is that JSF about? Not had the Clone Wars hereso I haven't seen that abominaiton yet. And what is with Grevious' ship colour? I liked the dirty mash up goldy chrome of the movie. Why have they given it a blue wash with go-faster gold stripes?

That's accurate to Hasbro's Clone Wars Anakin Jedi Starfighter toy which got used in the cartoon, it's a design I don't really care for even though I bought the full-sized version, but they're being faithful to it with this Titanium so I can't really fault them.
Grievous' ship has that weird yellow stuff, you can't make it out easily in the movie but apparently it's on the CG model used in the movie: http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/grievousfighter/?id=eu
The TS looks very accurate to that.
I wish they had been able to articulate the tail the way it moved in the movie, that was a nifty feature.

i must be in the minority cause i liked ani's CW fighter. it was a nice addition to the jedi starfighter line. i liked the originals, but didn't care that much for the ROTS version.
i really pick and choose with the titaniums and haven't gotten that many of the smaller ones, but really liked the 6" line.

Yeah, the Amidala Skiff and Grievous' fighter are on their stands backwards...weird Hasbro-ness I guess.
I hope '07 rocks- and that the next 3 total repaint waves don't kill interest in the line!
(And KH- there is at least 1 repaint in that wave- I noticed your comment ;))
I think the BSG aspect of the 3" Titanium Series is done, however- only one new ship in how many waves? Not looking promising...

Too bad Asajj blew it up. I would have rather seen Anakin's blue fighter in ROTS. Of course he would have lost it on the Invisible Hand though. The detail looks good on these. It's nice to see more new Titanium sculpts.
