 The other romantic couple in the SW galaxy. December 6, 2005

There are few things in the Galactic Heroes figure line up that irritate me. Mace Windu looking like a baby is one, Yoda looking like a combination of Emmanuel Lewis and Gizmo is another, and Darth Maulester being available only in a dumb play set a few years back and now being out of print is a big one. But the biggest irk I have is one that's been going on not just in this line of figures, but in tons of Star Wars merchandise. "What is it?", you're probably asking yourself. It's what I'm reviewing as a whole: Chewbacca and C-3PO being paired up for exactly the 9,931,652nd time. 10 years ago, the vinyl collectable figures (that no one bought) had Chewbacca with C-3PO in his backpack. The Micro Machines play sets had Chewie with 3PO in his backpack. I'm pretty sure one of the Power of the Force play sets had Chewie carrying 3PO. And there was even a god damn drinking glass that had these two in the same pose etched on it. So when I was walking through the toy aisle a few weeks back and discovered the Galactic Heroes figures, my excitement for them was almost halted by this set right here. But you know what? I gave in and bought them for one reason.
The image I scanned and have posted on this page, and the Chewbacca figure.
When I actually picked up the case and looked at Chewbacca, I laughed continuously for 3 minutes. He's so perverted, it's not even funny. His eyes, focused on his next victim. His mouth, the smile that of a sexual predator. His pelvis, thrust forward. His left hand, making a holding gesture, but no accessory to put in it. His feet, not sexual at all, but still massive. Yes, this is the be-all of Chewbacca figures. I don't care if they somehow create a shrinking device to make the actual Chewie suit into an action figure size- this will still be better than it. Even funnier is that this is the only Chewbacca figure that doesn't come with a Bowcaster as a weapon. Nope, Chewie's stuck with your standard issue Blaster Rifle. Poor guy. Chewie is also the heaviest figure of this series, which is a lot to say considering the Palpatine figure is even heavier than the huge Darth Vader one. Chewie's got 'em all beat. Oh, and then there's 3PO, who does absolutely nothing. You can't pose him. He has no articulation to speak of. He feels cheaply made and flimsy (think back to the first Power of the Force 3PO and that's exactly what it feels like). And I'm sure the gold paint will wear off after a few months. But I still like it for some reason. Maybe it's because he looks happy. I don't know, but this is the only 3PO figure I've ever liked. Plus I have to give him some credit for not being disassembled and on Chewie's back for once. Oh, as a side note, it's weird that Chewie has his name printed on his foot, and 3PO doesn't. I checked my other Galactic Heroes figures, and only Darth Vader has this as well. Maybe it's just something they forgot about while making the figures. Who knows.
Believe me, if you're a Star Wars fan at all, you need this set.
 The Wookiee wins September 10, 2005
The Chewbacca that comes with this set is worth the price of admission alone. Lookit that grin! Everyone's favorite fuzzball has never been more adorable. Not to mention that he's just plain huge for a GH figure, and with four points of articulation to boot! His two-pack partner, Threepio, offers fewer action possibilities, but makes up for it by being shiny and gold, which to a four-year-old equates to "must-have." He feels hollow and brittle, so keep him away from tiled floors unless you want to reenact what happened to him on Bespin. Other than that, these two will be beloved by any Star Wars lovin' tot (or grownup).
Galatic Heroes c-3p0 and Chewbacca June 9, 2005
Well I never really have gotten into the galatic heroes but i wanted my 2 favorite charecters, Chewwy and C-3P0. Chewbacca only has 4 points of articulation and c-3P0 has none. but they look gret with your other Star Wars figures in your collection.
August loves these too March 30, 2005

My 4 year old son just loves these Galactic Hero figures. Anything that can get him to sit still and openly role play wih all these different charcters is Great. Keep them coming.
