Re: 501st and Cantina Band 1:1 Busts

Yeah, rebelscum is usually where I go to check on figures... Jedi Temple Archives are also very useful.

And if you like coffee table books I'd suggest the "Star Wars Action Figure Archive" its a great reference book, but about half of it is modern crap

And just to continue staying a bit off topic; check out this cool article about updated versions of the vintage figures:Modern versions of vintage figures

Yikes! Vintage FTW!

Re: 501st and Cantina Band 1:1 Busts

Yeah, I agree... as cool as some of the updated figures are (in realism and articulation); many of them look garish

I just love the simple look of the vintage figures.

Agreed. Whenever I see them it takes me back to my childhood when life was simple.

I'm getting motivated to complete my collection now. I printed out the basic figure list and will check what I have at home. The hunt begins.

Both places are great for checking out that stuff. The place I work at Sandtroopers is working on their guide updating it so right now things arent up it doesn't look like.

I think it's about time for a Kenner Appreciation Thread.

Re: 501st and Cantina Band 1:1 Busts

Yeah man, I totally agree on that one. I really don't think I'd be as into collecting today as I am if it weren't for Kenner. Hmmm... come to think of it maybe it needs to be a "I blame Kenner" thread

1. eBay or the Rebelscum forum is probably the best. I'm mad at myself for not getting some at CV instead of buying new Hasbro crap.

2. Here you go, my good man.

Thank you, sir

Not sure I would get one, at least not yet, but I love the Cantina Band 1:1. Great they are doing some obscure stuff!!

The Cantina guy fits right in with what they've already been doing with the alien 1:1 busts. Greedo, Ackbar, Bossk, Gamorrean...no surprise here.

And it's perfect, instant purchase for me; SS really excels at the aliens and I think they are more visually interesting in 1:1 than anything else.

I agree...but I'm having a hard time picturing myself spending $500 for a 1:1 Cantina Band Member Bust though...

Ugh. Seeing recent Hasbro figs pics make me wish that they would bring back their buff POTF 95 figs!!

^^ Obviously Han didn't let the wookiee win. Looks like he got his neck and waist crushed.

Han looks like he hasn't ate for a few weeks. Looks like he let the Wookie eat everything in the Falcon...

Re: 501st and Cantina Band 1:1 Busts

To be fair... I think that Han is from the torture table; but still not a pretty looking figure But I guess they decided that was the best Bespin out there.

Thanks for being the voice of everyone. You do us all a great service.

You're welcome. I will be around for a long time, now that I know that I'm both supported and appreciated.

You know what we need? More Jokers...HT should just make 20 more Jokers. I would LOVE more Jokers....Jokers everywhere. I think I need one for the bathroom.

I think my wife would let me get the Cantina Band member bust if it had a sound chip with the music, she loves it for some reason. Here's to hoping.

I was just about to say, although not my bag, are people really going to buy this?

Seems like an odd piece
