Actually saw this a while ago. Not a fan of the Darth Vader figure. The simplicity of his armor design lends itself to a more menacing look than this re-imagined figure IMHO. I do like the Fett and stormtrooper figures.

ditto.

although the stormtrooper reminds me a bit too much of megatron from the transformers cartoon :D

Ironic that his helmet was originally only going to be for allowing him to breath in space. Can you imagine that costume without the mask and a regular human face trying to look menacing? Be about as menacing as he was when he has his final conversation with Luke at the end of 6.

Those look like what happens when Nike is allowed to redesign football uniforms. Blech.

I think they used Cecil as a model. Big ass pauldrons and greaves.

Now that you mention it, these do look FF4 inspired. I think they look more Kain-esque, though.

Boba looks great, and I think it works for him. However, it's sort of like they took the same body style and used it for multiple figurines.

The Storm Trooper should have less detail, look less like a badass, and definitely be a brighter white instead of trying to make him look "weathered." Frankly, needs to look more like a bitch.

Vader with a 6 pack? ROFL. He looks like they took wolverine and slapped black armor on him or something. Needs to be wider and less "defined."

Also, the weapons look generally terrible.

More detail != looks good, sorry Square. I'm sure people will buy them for the collector value, but I would only buy things I think look worthy. Looks too much like they just genericized everything and threw different colors on them.
