I've been pretty good at both only getting figures I'd really want and not letting those pass me by, but the one that got away was episode IV Obi wan. Great sculpt too.

Light side Revan gonna be one of those sudden 1500 exclusives like the umbra.

Yeah, the KOTOR model has a visor slit so thin that it makes medieval jousting helmets look like wide view mode. I agree the darker colors on the game mask looks better, but overall this prototype nails the character, since they lifted it from that artwork where obviously a lot of research went...

Will be nice when Popcultcha starts shipping in May. 2026.

The umbra ARC trooper comes with two black pauldrons, I'm sure they're plenty and cheap by now on toyanxiety since it's a clone release and people buy a lot of those mass produced molds to army build. Oh wait

What's the most ESB/ROTJ accurate custom cloak out there? This figure is amazing but I cannot stand the stock cloak, the double layer this has makes it so thick it's like he's wearing a stiff tarp. Definitively will need to replace it.

Yeah You can make a decent dark side Luke mixing up say mms429 luke, dx16 Maul and one of the Vaders.

Accurate to what? The only "canon" material is anchored in over 20 year old game files. Accuracy aside, I definitively think the new mask looks better, aesthetically speaking, though some of the old mask designs (yes there is plural) have some cooler looking colors. As far as the armor and...

Episode IX emperor WHEN? Happy with the RotJ one, but a sith eternal palps is the only sequel trilogy figure I would be all over.

Cheers, I'll pic that up. I have not painted for several years but had to touch up some custom figures I purchased and find myself quite out of touch except remembering acrylic will rub off if you look at it hard.

Are they going to reissue the Emperor, Maul, Dooku etc or just moaning and rubbing salt into the wounds of the people who missed out?

Got the reverse need, what varnish or coat is best for protecting a scaled animal acrylic paintjob? Obviously real large reptiles does not look wet save crocodilians.

They won't change it. The figure helm is based of the material from the (canceled?) KOTOR remake and possible/probable coming cameo in mouse house productions, to me that makes more sense then trying to create an amalgamation from the 20+ years old varying looks from different game files and...

Popcultcha have stated they expect to ship it come May, so I expect my shipping notice May 30th or so and until then am calm as a tranquil sea. Probably my most anticipated figure since papa palpatine.

Besides Vader himself I don't think there is a cooler looking star wars character design. I barely played KOTOR back in the day, they're probably at the start of my soon 20 year backlog of games to play "when I get free time", so I have no attachment to the character.. yet. Still I had to order...
