I got the Speeder Bike and Jabba for half off. I wasn't going to get Jabba because I've seen these in the store and Jabba is not that impressive at $40. But for $22? Okay.

The 4" scale Jabba they did a few years back was pretty darn cool, though. He included his dias, hooka, Salacious Crumb and even some pillows. If you do a Jabba, you gotta have the dias and hooka, man. Jabba's fat rear end never got up once during the whole movie.

It's 1/4 scale but it's 12cm high? Surely that would be 1/2 scale? 1:1 would be 18 inches high? That seems pretty big.

Yeah unfortunately only the Sdcc Jabba came with his hookah and crumb. I was hoping some eBay entrepreneurs would have cloned those things with 3d printers the same way they've cloned the Sdcc carbonite Han. (You can buy them fully painted $30)

Back on Jabba though, you can make a really good looking said very cheaply and easily. I did and it looks great (to me). Check out this tutorial http://thefwoosh.com/2014/08/dio-in-a-day-jabbas-dais

Also a $30 handmade Han in Carbonite sounds interesting. They're on eBay you say?

Yep. Though as a note, that one requires a little extra paint from the buyer. You can find fully painted ones on eBay for $35 I think. I just ordered one the other day but haven't received it. I'll post pictures of mine when it arrives.

It should be pretty simple. Just give it a dark wash and some silver dry brushing over the details and it will look decent.

Also on the subject of the black series. Word is starting to come out about the series 7 lineup (even though series 6 is just now starting to hit shelves) it's supposed to be Bossk, Han in stormtrooper, Chewie (repack) and Tie Pilot (repack).

I think Bossk is the only one I'll snag from that lineup.

The 2-packs are okay but there's so much more I'd rather see first. They've skipped so many major characters already, but give us Bossk, a 5th Luke, 2 more Han Solos, and some more reissues? Really? How about C3P0, he's only in every movie. How about that Emperor guy, he's a small part of the films. Old Obi-Wan? Lando? Any clothed Leia, she has like 5 other outfits (I'd much rather see a Bouush than Bossk). Han Stormtroopero is the epitome of lazy. They're reissuing the tie pilot but can't manage to fix Slave Leia's retarded face?

This line is going to hell quick. They've stopped caring about any quality in the products or the lineup of characters. Maybe in series 8 we'll get Jar Jar, kid Anakin, nameless Naboo guardsman, and Qui Gon's ghost - nah that's too good. We'll get Viceroy Gunray, Jungle Clone Trooper, a $20 2"x1" mouse droid (no rolling wheels, that's only on the SDCC exclusive), and Jabba's skiff pilot (storm trooper disguise). Clearly they are working a 10-year plan, playing the long con...anyone betting it goes subscription only?

I've read C3P0, Emperor, Obi-Wan, and Bouush Leia are all in the queue. Why aren't they in the front of the lineup instead of reissues?

Because they want to milk the wallets of every nerd they can by selling third rate characters first but holding out on figures people want so they have something to come back to.

ShimSham
May 25, 2007

I heard you

It's pretty standard practice to try to only release one or two major characters in a wave, along with some that will be harder to sell. (hence no 3PO yet) If you release all your major characters at first, then nothing but 3rd rate characters then the line dies really soon after the majors are out.

Quality has dropped though, series one and two were the best (aside from the slave Leia screwup) We're seeing more bad sculpts, paint and accessories since series then unfortunately. (with a few exceptions. i.e. Chewbacca)

They've already released some prototype shots of figures for the next year most likely, and the lineup looks pretty good. (Though, it's still missing ANH Leia) and they just revealed a video that had what looked like an unpainted sculpt of Qui Gon.

Well at least Jakks has the smarts to make a Samus based on the good Metroid games. Sucks that it's so small and gummy-looking though. :(
