Got some awesome shots of upcoming Phantom Menace figures, thanks to Sandtroopers.com! These figures are all being released through the Movie Heroes line that replaced the long-running Saga Legends. Once again, gaming cards and chance cubes are included with each figure.
If they are just repacks then they are, but most of those sculpts are ones I'm not familiar with. It seems like new figures to me.
I'm fairly certain these are re-packs Rob, in point of fact, none of the modern era figures of the past three years have included built in Lightsaber blades into the saber arm. That feature to my recollection was last used back during the AotC days, as I recall owning an Anakin figure with a Lightsaber that retracted up into his arm to mimic the on/off function of the blades.
Padme and Anakin however do look strangely newer or at least I don't recognize them. Jar Jar is obviously a re-pack, probably from one of the Vehicle/Creature releases with the character as a pilot. Or possibly from the 2003 stuff.
I'd wager these are more re-packs than anything else. Although if they do have proper articulation I might get that version of Anakin to stand next to his Padawan variant. I suspect however that could possibly be a re-pack of the Pilot Anakin figure from the Power of the Jedi sub-line.

Check out some new Class-1 Vehicle listings, now up for pre-order over at Entertainment Earth...
From the site:
This Wave 2 case sports 4 individually packaged sets (subject to change):
1x Republic Sub with SCUBA Clone Trooper
1x Sith Speeder with Darth Maul (Phantom Menace)
1x Naboo Royal Fighter with Obi-Wan Kenobi
1x Republic Recon Fighter with Anakin Skywalker
(subject to change)
The Republic Sub is probably based off a vehicle from the Season 4 Clone Wars premiere, whereas the Republic Recon Fighter seems it may be the cancelled vehicle from last year that was supposed to come with Obi-Wan Kenobi, this time around, hopefully, being released with Anakin Skywalker.
This new series is slated for release in Jan. 2012, no pictures have been revealed as of yet.
