Saw these at Toys R Us today and they are pretty cool. Pretty much a rip off of Squinkies.

Still, pretty neat. I am not a SW guy, but I'd probably buy a few.

Hasbro killed nearly all their Heroes lines to give us stuff like this? Meh.

I saw them today when I went in. Picked up 2 of the blind packs. Ended up getting my man Boba Fett on the first pack, packed with a snow trooper. Second pack had Jabba and a storm trooper. Might get some more later but not to sure, I mean I have Fett already so hmmm.

I think they are soft but that's only looking at them, I haven't bought any. They are the same size and have the same "pencil topper" looking hole

They have some flex, but no where near squinky/trashies.

Annnnd, I now own two Throat-Crushy Vaders. I have to say, I LOVE the hard rubber that these are made out of.
I'm not a huge SW fan, "Empire Strikes Back" is the only one I can enjoy... But these are really fun, and I'll probably get some more.

They have them at Target and Toys r Us the packs are packed so you will end up with a lot of troopers and some name figures I was lucky enough to get Chewie Fette Han in Carbonite and R2

You know as long as Troopers are what is overpacked and not Hans or Lukes, I could live with doubles.

The rubber is more like the keshi reissues, than the squinkies and trash pack toys.
I have become an instant fan of the storm troopers.

Have to say if it's not like Squinkies soft, then I wouldn't mind a Yoda...Anyone find a Ewok yet?

I have a spare Yoda... I don't think there are any ewoks yet. The Chewbaccas look great, though.

Bought my first packs today from Tesco (Uk).
These are great :D Totally my next collecting fad.
The packs I bought were 8 packs, one with a mini millenium falcon and the other with a mini empire spacecraft, each with one hidden figure.

Quick warning for UK buyers though, be careful where you purchase from. Tesco had the 8 packs at £9.95 but I've seen other toystores online trying to get £19.99 for them!

Saw em in person today. I didn't think they would be so small! Way too little for the cost for me. Had to pass. Shame I had bigger hopes for em...literally. :)

Sniper's pic threw me off. I didn't realize he was a leprachaun! :D

I like the size, as it may lead to some neat playsets in the future.
I will say though, that the design of the AT-AT left a bit to be desired, in my opinion...

What guy are you looking for, maybe we can trade...I'm going to buy a pack or two this weekend and see what I get

I haven't seen the AT-AT yet in person but it looked cool...they need Hoth monster thing to be included if they ever made a playset.
