    Just jumping over to expedia to book a holiday to Wakanda.... now it IS somewhere in Africa, right?:rotfl Oh yes I think we all prefer the Marvel lens to reality.

    Ah, the real world seen through the lens of Marvel. Yes, that's how we got here. :rotfl

    Hot Toys Fourth Sister Inquisitor | Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Sisters, brothers, inquisitions and zeroes... sounds more like a Columbia campus event. :lol

    1/6 Hot Toys -VGM53- Jedi Survivor (Video Game): Scout Trooper Commander

    I actually thought there was more to this fig than just a scout re-release with a sandie pauldron and warehouse lumbar belt tossed in. But I guess if that's accurate to the vidgame that's all it needed to be.

    Nearly eight years (DST) is a bit different to one year (whoever the f this figure is of, and yes I watched Kenobi.) :lol

    Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

    Awesome pic as always Coco. :clap But yeah it's something we often forget - that these figs are made in factories but individual figures can vary quite a bit. My SSC 3POs (I've had three - one destroyed for replacement from SSC) were all quite different in amount/look of weathering, and my...

    Star Wars Saga (OT/PT/ST) Discussion Thread

    The problem with the May 4th OT screenings is that they are all the SE versions. Just really spoils a lot of it for me, to a point where I don't want to go - the goofy Mos Eisley spaceport stuff and terrible CGI Jabba in ANH, the meh Wampa in ESB (face always looks like a scary version of a...

    Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

    For the record, I did remove all of the weathering on my SSC 3PO (aka the caramel sauce.) And also the weatheirng on the dome on the SSC R2, which obscured most of the metallic finish. Both of those mods hugely improved the figures, in fact I'd say the R2 its essential and brings the fig...

    Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

    Boy those pics really throw into pretty sharp relief the eye size issue on the HT sculpt. It's really not a big deal at all, but it would have been such a score for HT have 100% nailed the sculpt like they did with say the Snowie. But then they have only ever gotten maybe 80% of the way...

    Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

    I think my point was that even if the removal works perfectly, you still end up with a neither-fish-nor-fowl 3PO, accurate to neither ROTJ nor ESB/ANH, and fairly obviously so (at least to those who know the differences and care.) ROTJ is a somewhat unique look for OT 3PO, and it's pretty...

    Hot Toys C-3PO (ROTJ)

    Not sure why people are trying to remove the weathering when it is pretty accurate to ROTJ (3PO has a weird and dull ornage-ish "bad weathering" look through much of ROTJ, especially Endor) and the belly wires pattern is super-specific to ROTJ, not even close to ANH and ESB. It seems a bit...

    1/6 Hot Toys Luke Skywalker - Dark Empire (Legends)

    I have three HT Chewies and long planned to post a side-by-side pic because they are pretty different to each other. They're just all so deeply enmeshed in displays (SW, ESB and ROTJ dios or displays) that I never got around to it. My ANH display one has a noticeably darker face and overall...

    1/6 Hot Toys Luke Skywalker - Dark Empire (Legends)

    Again, to me that's more about the face/head. They used the darker toned fur for the entire face when they should have used the lighter toned fur. To me overall the body is only slightly too dark. The face is lost in kind of a black hole of fur however where the eyes and nose are not...

    1/6 Hot Toys Luke Skywalker - Dark Empire (Legends)

    I already have an Artisan Chewbacca. Even came with a comb. :lol Obviously the improvement we'd like to see on any new Chewie isn't better quality fur - which to me is pretty decent (in color and texture) and surprsingly style-able - but better face sculpt and the way the fur is actually...
