The question is, why not? I do like the character to be as plain and not fruity poses like the Jedi Battlemaster, Darth Vader, Sith Lord, Shado Vao, etc... having Cad Bane figure that makes him look plain makes the character "intimidating" in my opinion... there's really no reason for that figure to look more dramatic.... 1 Dash Rendar, Renegade Smuggler is enough.

I second that Kenred. I do not like poses like Vao. Yuck. I like poses that can be taken as either combat or noncombat. Something like Cade can be seen as in either.

Republic with Separatist affinity. That seems like the obvious choice to me. My guess is also that he'll have some "so-so" commander effect for living characters.

I agree, awful sculpts. There was so much potential for some of these pieces. I'm sure we who customize could do a far better job than these. Let's hope the rest of the set is not as bad as these...

I am really confused. Are we looking at the same sculpts? Hando and Bane are GREAT sculpts. Sure, Asajj and the Mon Cal are not good, but the others are pretty average.

Also, the the base "line" matches up with the feet to perfectly. It generally runs foot to foot, so I am leaning toward these being legit. I just don't see the guy having THAT much skill, and not being heard of before.

Sorry, but they look poorly done to me. I'm just hoping these are images of some test models they used prior to actually being sculpted. Was that Bane episode so ground breaking that we need to see so many characters from it, or are we just getting pulled into the marketing machine with the new season of CW coming out?

ya know they are being sold as customs, so maybe that's what they are. Thus explainig why they look like reused, poorly made, sculpted minis. Just tossin' it out there.

It's the same seller who sold filches pieces from other sets before they were released.

With JA, however, they had to take the auction down. By selling them as 'customs', then they avoid the ramifications of selling pieces from a set early, because 'customs' have no set.

Savy?

He will definitely be Republic, I think he will have either Affinity Seps (Or this Assaj has Affinity for him, doesn't make the most sense but hey....) or some form of super Internal Strife, like a 1 or a 2 on a roll would make him switch sides.

Affinity would make the most sense. I could see him as a Lando DS level figure, a cheap Cunning or Opportunist shooter. I don't think he will be a commander unless he is purely Republic (no Affinity).

Yeah, they match up too well to the images we have (Asajj, Cad Bane, and Obi-wan).

youd think that at this point in the game, where we get 40 minis instead of 60, the sculpts would be better.
but at the rate the minis are coming out, every three months i think it is, its a little hard to make consistent knock outs.
that frikkin Commando droid looks Horrific.
