I agree with everything you said except the Lucas and writing staff. I believe that Lucas solely wrote all the PT, which is why some of the dialogue can be cringe worthy. Reason why ESB and RoTJ are my favs, is that Lucas only co-wrote them. Not a good writer IMO, but a FANTASTIC story teller.

We're both partially right actually. Lucas soley wrote TPM and ROTS, but Jonathan Hales co-wrote Attack of the Clones with him.
 
Thanks for sharing your ideas guys, it's really the only flaw of the figure to me. Generic bodies work for the most Part, but in this case, it won't quite feel like Obi-Wan without a thicker midsection, but I also want to keep the articulation so I don't want pad him in a manner that inhibits those joints.

Your absolutely right he needs a belly, I'm surprised Sideshow didn't give him one, they could have easily done something like what they did with this figure:

Not as much but you get the idea, it's a characteristic that stands out for sure, he needs his beer belly! :)
 
Yeah. No offense to Andy, but I think Trevor's is better.

Andy's is a bit to idealized a portrait. Where as I feel Trevor's really captured Alec Guinness well.

Yeah I agree, Andy's is amazing. But I think Trevor's looks more like Alec.
 
I'd have to see them both unpainted and painted before I could say which is better, if "better" is even how I would put it. Andy's really looks superb. That's one of the most intriguing things about sculpture--two pieces can be totally different, and yet both can also capture a likeness perfectly. Funny how the world works. :cool:
 
Newsletters say Late December, c'mon Ben, you can ship this month. It's Christmas, he looks sorta like Santa, he just has to come.
 
I really am I getting a pre-Xmas vibe here you guys... I hope 'dis be Good Vibrations not a-lyin' to me.
 
Last year Santa gave me Maul, if Ben doesn't come I'll have no Santa treat, he just has to come, he'll be an awesome Christmas arrival.

Fill the shelves with Ben Kenobi, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Cut the arm off Ponda Baba, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Raise your saber to Lord Vader, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Join The Force, I'll see you later, fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la, laaaaaa

:)

Nice Sean. I sentiment I ECHO ECHo ECho Echo echo....
 
I just realised.. The Novemeber 30th 2006 NL announced that Maul was due in 30 days... We got him before Christmas.. I think it is definitely possible.

I am getting to darn excited now! :google

(by the way Cap, it was also on this day that we got our first real preview of Faramir)
