The body would be good if someone has the wherewithal to make a Sauron custom in 1/6 scale!

As it is, I think you'd need to cut half an inch out of the midsection so the proportions aren't so off.

I've wondered if someone could recast (I know the dirty word) the WETA statue and try to make it into a large scale action figure. I imagine it would be an insane amount of work, but maybe if done once could be recast into a run of 1/6 Saurons.

I'd be very excited to see someone do castings of the WETA Sauron armor!!

Don't know if this is new news, but on the Art Asylum blogs, they said that armored figures could be coming out next year. I think a 1/4 scale Boba could be great.

Still contemplating The Emperor. I might shave off a few inches from his midsection, so doesn't look like he's 8 feet tall...

 

[galactiboy]

Question for anyone that ones one of these... do the figures have actual feet inside of their boots? Particularly interested if Old Ben has feet... and if so what do they look like?

 

[Natrix]

I only have the Maul and the boots are solid pieces.

 

[galactiboy]

So a plug-in boot similar to HT figures?

Bummer... not what I was hoping to hear. Is that the same on all of them?

 

[Amanaman]

Has anyone seen this?

 

[karamazov80]

Despite the flaws on these figures, I bet that one will sell.

No, the boot is a big solid chunk of plastic that the leg peg plugs into at the top of the boot not further down in the ankle.

I don't know if the others are like that or not.

 

[galactiboy]

Wow that Vader looks... interesting? Whoever is posing their figures needs to be fired

 

[Coorectghosting]

Did his neck break?

Looks good but need more pics

 

[jus]

Wow. No wonder there's a "no photography" sign. His neck is broken, his chest piece is drifting, his inner robe is outside of his belt on the left side, his codpiece is crooked and riding up, he's clutching his lightsaber's blade, and his legs are together like he has to pee. Fire the person who posed him, indeed. Why are so many figures at conventions posed as poorly as this? It's like seeing a McDonald's commercial if the burger had roaches and band-aids on it.

 

[Customikey]

It's kind of shocking when you look at pics from the last convention, where the several offerings were posed so dynamically!

Still hoping for some strong pics of The Emperor. If he's really decent, I might grab him.

 

[zeiss]

Any other pics of the Vader out there. Other than the wacky poses, he may look alright.

Sorry for the Necrophillia! Mucking about with Maul while waiting for Wolverine to download on iTunes... I like these 18"ers :maul

I know most don't agree, and I agree with what I've seen of the others, like Galactic Heroes Luke and Han, but I think Darth Maul is perfectly fine. I also think Vader will be just as good with some minor padding and have hope for the Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers.
