Views on ebay at a seller who definitely has all the novelties for 2013, these other photos of the Pong Krell minifigure which is already offered for sale and for which the auction is underway.

It is therefore the confirmation that it is indeed the official minifigure and not of any custom.

Note that the head seems to be integral with the upper part which is plugged into the torso of the minifig.

Here is finally the long awaited minifig of Pong Krell, which will be delivered in the set LEGO Star Wars 75004 Z-95 Headhunter. 

It's a good surprise: The result is quite convincing despite the fears one might have had about LEGO's interpretation of this character with unusual anatomy.

Below, a photo of a few Clones and other Troopers from the 2013 range including the 501st Clone Pilot from set 75004 (3rd from the left).

As usual with the preliminary photos that can be seen in the various and varied leaks of reseller catalogs (this year, it is even a French version of this catalog which was published online almost at the time when the official visuals appeared online), no use getting carried away on the Pong Krell minifigure seen in the Star Wars page of this catalog (Click here to view this image).

The final version of this minifigure will obviously be better finished than this prototype version. We can also see it on the official visual of the box of the 75004 Z-95 Headhunter set, and all we can say about it is that we should a priori find the same combination of parts as for Lord Garmadon ( Ninjago sets 9446 and 9450) with a standard torso on which the reference torso will be plugged 98127c01, or a possibly modified version of this piece without the grooves, to allow Pong Krell to have all four arms. 

The head also appears to be different from Bossk's as seen in the preliminary visual. In the worst case, it will be the same mold but with a different color to better stick to the physique of Krell.

There's a lot of talk about Pong Krell right now and the different visuals we've had the opportunity to get recently via eBay foreshadowed a nice minifigure.

But while sailing on amazon.co.uk who posted the 2013 novelties, we find this official visual of the Jedi General's minifigure (75004 Z-95 Headhunter) and, seen like this on a white background, something bothers me. The legs are obviously too short due to the optical effect of adding a second modified torso. We have the impression of seeing two dwarves stacked on top of each other in a Halloween costume ...

Risking everything LEGO could almost have used the legs of Woody's minifig (Lego toy story) to compensate. Krell would then have been way too tall compared to the other minifigs, but he would also have been better proportioned.

It is well known, scale problems, LEGO has always made fun of it ... and it continues in 2013. Just take a look at the machine in the set 75002AT-RT which almost looks like an AT-ST ...

Those who follow the animated series The Clone Wars and who have not missed episode 7 of season 4 Darkness on Umbara will agree that this AT-RT is clearly disproportionate and that's a shame. Without wanting to stress the scale issues, a little consistency wouldn't hurt on some sets. In this specific case, the machine is clearly intended to accommodate a minifigure as shown in the official visual. It is not a model intended for the exhibition.

Because we never tire of it (or so little) and some of you may not have yet seen these images of the LEGO Star Wars novelties of early 2013, here is a series of visuals put online by a Swiss merchant and taken over by FBTB.

Only notable difference with the images we had already been able to obtain a few weeks ago : The presence of Pong Krell on the presentation visual of set 75004.
