Truly one of the most impactful characters in the series, Dex Deserves to be a 12 inch action figure.
Dear SSC, Now is the time to show us your true inner greatness and magnificience and deliver up to the great unwashed a figure of truly epic proportion, and Dex is it.
Just imagine, Dex in jedi robes armed with cooking utensiles. Brings a tear to my eye.

That's definitely a GG piece. I wonder when we are going to start seeing some non-human bodies for SW and LOTR though. You figure the hobbits would be the first to be made but then there'd need to be a new body for Gimli as well.

I liked him, goofy but cool just like how a SW character should be.

Dex was OK as a character but I doubt he's in Sideshow's plans for a release anytime soon,if at all.

Dexter was nice but I want other characters made before him.

Dexter was just a couple of notches under Jar-Jar and the two-headed announcer for most obnoxious character in the SW universe. I honestly hope Sideshow has better plans for an alien character release... :monkey5

Agree this is a most laughable name for a Star Wars character. Or ANY character not starring in a Hanna-Barbera cartoon (no disrespect intended to Augie Doggey!)! :lol
I'm too embarrassed to even SAY Dexter Jettster. Dear Lord, George, where was your dignity? :rotfl :rotfl

It sure is fun to watch him pick out just the right sculpt on the AOTC DVD though. :lol :rolleyes:

The SCULPT he spent time on. That we see on the dvd. However, I would have LIKED to have been a fly on the wall during the creative meeting where George sat there trying out different names, came up with Dexter Jettster and said "THAT'S PERFECT!" Time elapsed: 4 seconds. :lol :lol :lol :lol

That's the guy -- the two-headed announcer! He is THE worst character in the Star Wars universe. Where did he pick up that "raise-the-roof" gesture anyway?
Anyone know his name? Don't be embarrassed.

I will wear the scarlet shame of knowing the name of Fode and Beed...:monkey2
thank god they digitized it though, as initially it was Greg Proops and someone else who isn't funny in rubber masks, ugh, awful...

That's him... Fode & Beed.
Shame on you, Seaward. :D

Although much maligned Dex was the true hero of that movie. Without him we wouldn't have seen the clones.
And anyone/thing that can cook and identify odd weapons at the same time is probably a Jedi Master in disguise.
Come on Sideshow!! let's get on this shall we?
Dexter Jettster in 1/6th!! Bestest ever!!

George probably pronounces it Deek-star Yaht-star.

I'ver just had a fairly in depth conversation with the voices in my head and we all agree that as cool as a Dex figure would be, he;s simply to magnificient to see the light of day as a 12 inch action figure.
After all SSC woud then be King of the action figure world if they did dex and that's alot of pressure to bear for mere mortals working for the company. So here's to Dex, we may never see your magnificience in 1/6th but we'll always know you were the real start of that series.

Oh God....no more crusades!! We've got one for just about every wanted character.

No crusades needed, Just the gentle reminder to SSC...."you want to make a 1/6th dex, everybody wants one" said with jedi mind power voice and wavy hand.

I will say Dexter will be the last 12" SS figure made.

Dex was a bad character... his only saving grace was that his screen-time was very limited. And just one more annoying kiddyfied Star Wars moment.. how in the **** does an alien a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away have a 50's style diner!?! C'mon now... you can do better than that?

Indeed! So he was sporting a Hanes Tank, and had a waitress named Flo?! :rolleyes:
