Advanced warning, beyond the four images showing off the cards, some of atomic's art is not for the easily offended, so you may not want to explore beyond them. For those not easily offended, there is a lot of cool illustrations there.

Over a dozen promotional figures have been added to the Star Wars Miniatures section of the Photo Archive! Wizards of the Coast came up with a very clever way to generate interest in the line by giving away repainted chase variant Promotional Figures at various conventions, special hobby League Kits, and retail exclusives. Consisting mainly of repainted army builders, some of these are very difficult to track down, and some were re-re-released on different bases. Enjoy!

Probe
Droid
Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
