I got my WoTC Star Wars figs (
this and
this) at local hobby shops. You can also get them from New Wave, and other online stores too I imagine. I can attest that at least on my two, the sculpts are very nice with minimal cleanup needed.
I too am very disappointed by the WoTC release. I mean, there are only a few obviously Star Wars characters, and several generic humans who could easily fit into any SF game scenario. The Jedi are cool, but I especially was hoping for more aliens. Where are the Wookiees? The Bothans and Mon Calamari and Sullustans and Hammerheads? Not a lot to go on for a mini-based RPG, methinks...
I wish I\'d bought more of the old Grenadier Star Wars line. As it is, all I have are the Skywalkers (Darth, Luke & Leia), and a squad of Stormtroopers.
