Pic of GG stuff from TF (unseen stuff)

[MaulFan]

Of the "top secret" items at TF from Gentle Giant, the Vader statue is the one I plan to own, the first Vader statue, something about the pose and execution of his clothing didn't do much for me, but a great sculpted Vader in that classic moment, that'll be a fantastic looking piece.

Thanks for the pic, Karma!

Hopefully one with the kneeling Vader, R2 bust and realistically-sculpted Han will surface soon.

 

[The Josh]

Depending on the price and timing of the Vader I might get him. Just depends on several factors for me.

Kind of makes you wonder why people buy a $50 chess table now doesnt it?

Or 3 of the same $150 figure?

They do seem to be pushing it..........

Oh, so I see that the plague that is Super Deformed crap has now also infected the statues segment of collecting. Terrific.

If it's a plauge, I don't want a cure. They're fun! Movie accurate stuff is great too, but there's a kitsch to the VCD stuff. It totally appeals to me, guess cause' I'm still 5 inside somewhere. But to each their own.

I'm sure they are fine for suckers who buy anything related to SW

HEY, I don't buy ANYTHING Star Wars related! Only totally unique and fun anythings Star Wars related.

CRAP = COOL man, didn't you know?

Hey, I'm 5 inside too. Check this out:

That's me. Age 5. Summer of 1977.

I'm OG™ (Original Geek) all the way.

Note, however, that I do prefer my Luke Skywalker figures look like Mark Hamill instead of Rocky Dennis. Still don't get this Super Deformed fad.

 

[Shropt]

I agree, lets see pics of the R2!!!

Also, those deformed statues of Biker Scout and TIE Pilot could be bobble heads. Not like that would make me say anything good about those ridiculous statues.

I have to agree that a lot of SW fans will buy anything.

That's why I like the VCD stuff as well. It's all about being a kid again.

ALL of this stuff is about being a kid again.

Except Emma Frost.

She's about being a horny teenager again.

I loved Star Wars as a kid and then read and loved Lord of the Rings as a teenager, so the prequels and the LOTR movies hitting me in my adult years have been a lot of fun--and it's been even more fun having so much stuff to buy and display around my home and office. I'm certain that all this stuff keeps you young at heart.

I like being an adult more. I can actually afford ( most of the time ) the stuff I want instead of having the beg my parents for 1/3 of what I wanted.

Or 3 of the same $150 figure?

correction

3 of the same AWESOME $175 figure

If only people didn't act like it huh?

That's all part of the fun, too.... sometimes.

True true! Well I say they're fun, I know WHY they cost so much (VCD's, yes vinyl is actuaslly expensive, let alone multiple layers for dif. textures) and that's whaty makes all of our collections fun. Not 1 is the same. I like a mix of PF's, 12", 3 3/4" and odd balls (vcd's/BK toys/Galactic Heros.) Good mix.
