1/6th Hammerhead Figure

Re: SSC Hammerhead 12 inch revealed tomorrow, July 2nd!

Blame society for that. Today's kids need so hard to be known for putting their mark on things. Look at music, what was once just metal is now labeled things like Thrashcore or deathmetal, etc. Hell, even debunking Pluto as a planet. It's pretty lame the lengths some douchebags will go to so that they can read their names in magazines.

Oh yeah. Its that craving for attention or "me" syndrome. Saw lots of kids with that teaching. Kind of sad but that whole debunking Pluto pisses me off.

This will be the first Star Wars figure I've gotten since sideshow vader. Hammerhead was one of (if not the) my favorites as a kid. I remember putting him on lay-away at my local comic shop and it was weeks before i had the money to get him. can't wait till tomorrow!

Though Lucas may have flirted with different names, Coruscant and The Imperial City/Had Abaddon are the exact same world. Ralph McQuarrie even did concept paintings back in the early 80's (Timothy Zahn named it Coruscant in 1990 for "Heir To The Empire"):

And my point is that Lucas was going to call it "Had Abaddon" in the PT, but was told that the name was changed to Coruscant and that the new name had become well established (and popular) with the fans. And all I was pointing out there is that Lucas (and those very close to the creation of the movies) obviously doesn't really know or care about the EU at all. Hence things like the Boba Fett backstory rewrite and the Karen Traviss/Mandalorian thing. The EU is not movie canon. Therefore retrofit EU names like "Momaw Nadon" are not canon.

Glad someone twisted his arm then cause "Had Abaddon" sounds pretty lame.

I still don't get that. Just some douchy, asshat astronomer who wants to throw his lot in with the greats.

I remember having a Hammerhead figure as a kid. I don't think I liked him that much for some reason. I just thought he was weird looking.

See, I could understand if it was like the whole brontosaurus to brachiosaurus deal, but it wasn't.
