I was so disappointed with this figure for so long. I finally tried to do some mods and I am now happy with it. I am using the stock body but I cut the sides of the fat suit off below the chest and put that padding in the shoulders. I also put a plastic spoon over his chest to add some bulk...

I don’t think we needed to see his motivation. I just think that considering the build up, they didn’t really get that far in their invasion. I thought the episode was great but considering the story as a whole, these guys have been looming since the beginning and they were wiped out pretty quickly.

I thought it was a very thrilling episode. I could see everything fine but my TV is calibrated. It definitely raised the bar for what a TV show can accomplish. However, I agree with the criticism that the white walkers had been built up for so long that they needed more than one episode to...

I would agree if we were talking about the sideshow of the past. They haven’t really been doing much with the license the last few years. The only deep dive characters lately have been rereleases of older figures. I would be up for hasbro or Disney store making mid-range figures at the $50-60...

Lol, the girl at the end of the commercial was really going in for the kiss. She's got guts.

Re: Star Wars live action series-Jon Favreau's THE MANDALORIAN I don't want them to try. Usually network shows have so much bloat that they don't get close to the quality of shows on Netflix, Amazon, and HBO. When are we supposed to see a trailer for the Mandalorian? I assume sometime this...

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019 Other iconic scenes: Han's "It's true, all of it" Luke at the end TLJ iconic scenes: -Luke drinking the milk from the alien ***** -Luke's duel at the end -Ben Swolo being shirtless -Mary Poppins Leia -Hyperdrive attack

To be fair, Rose was just a mechanic and Finn was a low-level stormtrooper. They probably didn’t represent the finest the resistance had to offer so not being able to keep from diverting a bit was understandable.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019 The characters not being developed enough is probably the biggest problem with this trilogy. FA did a decent job of getting the ball rolling with character development. However, none of the new characters, with the exception of Kylo, had any real...

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019 Now I want that to happen to see how the audience reacts to being trolled so hard. To make it even better they should follow up the reveal with Rose scolding someone. As an example, they could have Rey drinking blue milk from some space cow’s *****...

Kylo Ren as played by driver is close to what I expected Anakin to be before the prequels.

Indeed. There were at least some attempts to develop her as an independent character in AOTC but her role in ROTS was abysmal. It actually made the "liberty dies" scene feel incongruent because it presented her differently than the rest of the film. Overall, the character of Padme was a poor...

I suspect I am in the minority but I liked Natalie Portman's performance as Padme better in TPM than the other two movies. Especially the scenes where she spoke in monotone as the Queen. The odd way of speaking gave her a uniqueness and a little bit of mystery. Once she started talking like...

The best fabric I have seen is the one that Strutup's mother-in-law used to create capes for his custom Vaders. From the pictures he posted, that fabric hung amazingly well.

Is there any difference between the ANH and ESB domes besides the widows peak? I remember once hearing that the ESB/ROTJ domes had a thicker center stripe but I don’t know if that is actually true.

I pre-ordered and I’m hoping for the best. However, I would really like to see a photo from a convention where the helmet is on the figure. The human head looks good but I would rarely ever display the figure with the helmet off so it is not as important as making sure this thing has an accurate...

I really miss having an active customs community around here. It really added an extra dimension to 1/6th collecting. I loved being able to enhance a figure with the work of the many artisans on here that offered customized work. Is there another forum that has taken this up? If this is a...

Has there been a single picture of Vader where he is wearing the helmet? Other than the promo shots. I want to see how the helmet looks outside of the lighting setup in the promo pictures. ESB 1/6th Vader looked great in the promotional stuff but looks like crap in shots where there is more...

Honestly, I think it would be worth a shot with an improved helmet. The sculpting and proportions on everything else looks good and the size would be good to allow for a collection of main characters that have some decent detail and don't take up much space. The black series/figuarts/mafex 6...
