That was my thinking. Bespin Han, Bespin Luke 2.0. Is it too much to ask? I won't even beg for Veers anymore and I'll stick with my SSC C3PO

We'll see that weathered R1 Stormtrooper from the Tank Trooper image at some point. As soon as I saw the Tank Trooper I immediately thought Baze and DST. Surely the Luke Bespin 2.0 is only waiting for whoever needs to give the go ahead on the Bespin Han head sculpt to go with it.

Apologies as these aren't the best shots but just wanted to get a couple taken. I actually didn't mind the helmetless sculpt but it was always going to be the helmeted version that got used. I'll try and take a couple of pics with Boushh and ROTJ Boba.

General Mills Fun Group owned Kenner and Parker. They licensed the toys to Palitoy, Poch/PBP, Lily Ledy etc. The lack of toys meant the Early Bird certificate package. So maybe more of a certificate than a voucher, but kind of the same thing.

Ha. I agree... But then was compelled to add a reply :) Nobody knew the toys were going to be what they were. Nobody. Famously offered to Mego as they were the biggest figure maker in the US. They passed on it. Then General Mills took it up and even they didn't get it right at the beginning and...

Wow. They're not even close to being the same figures. Well this is a definite purchase now... looks like SSC version will be getting a Wedge conversion.

Well they hit it out of the park with the Jabba release which has been universally praised. I?ve never found the more recent SSC 1/6 stuff to be oversized Hasbro but I?ve seen several people who flatly refuse to see them as anything else. To each their own. I?m really looking forward to Skiff...

Boots and harpoon aside there's nothing I see there that tells me I need to replace the SSC one.

I feel the same. I'm hoping it's going to be superb. I don't feel the jacket looks bulky on my SSC version though. Seem to fit him quite well. The addition of the grappling gun is a nice touch but HT was always going to add something like that as a teaser to those that own the SSC anyway. If I...

It can't be much cheaper than using a site like KGHobby, surely? A couple of people may have received things like the Mando Remnant Stormtrooper and even the ESB 40th Boba but I'm not expecting an email from KGH just yet with my Boba 40th. Those things will take a while for people to get. If...

Just truly outstanding work. As Talibane mentioned previously, a 1/6 Snowspeeder is probably the single biggest vehicle grail piece for me too. Your work somehow makes it seem attainable and yet completely out of reach due to your scratch building skills and accuracy. What thickness of...

It certainly is. I picked one up with a bike before they seemed to sell out and I think they'd updated the paint app on it. The waistband is still really clean (maybe a little too clean?) but it's a really solid figure. Thankfully the Sideshow promos throughout the year really knocked a chunk...

For some reason I don't think the ROTJ Scout or bike will be released anytime soon. They have the moulds now which is great but I just get the feeling they'll hold back on it so as not to bite into the sales of this. I reckon it's at least a couple of years away. If they can hold off on Bespin...

Just after he met Cara I imagine
