Looks like Darth Stewie. The others are ... well ... kind of ugly.

These are great, agrree with the Darth Stewie observation. Yoda bothers me a bit, not sure why. Han & Chewie are must haves though!

Perhaps it is because he looks like a stereotypical alien with a Tic-Tac-Toe board on his forehead.

This was probably discussed before, but is there a reason why the star wars ones have to have bases on them? I think I remember this being brought up with the later star wars Funko force pieces.

I thought it had something to do with the Star Wars people insisting on them.

I kind of like Greedo.

I'm super excited about these.
They probably have to have bases because they would be too much like action figures if they didn't. Hasbro gets upset if other companies make Star Wars stuff that are like action figures. I know they made LEGO stop selling sets of just the Star Wars mini-figures because Hasbro got upset.

Good to know. Thanks for the insight Stephe and Ben. That seems a bit silly, but I can understand the licensing agreements and the brand integrity thing.

I think the alien is cute but what do I know? I don't think I've ever seen star wars start to finish.

I hate the bases. I will buy them because they are Star Wars but I really like the other Pop figures without the bases.

Hey, are the POP! figures normally bobble-heads? I though they weren't, but these ones appear to be, based on what StarWars.com says:

You're right, ha didn't notice the tic tac toe.

actually, looking at him again, he kinda looks like an elf from Harry Potter.

Han, Chewie & Greedo will def be mine though.
