Anakin Exclusive in 3-5 Days

Here is the pic that was posted from a recent article. One is just how it appears the other is using the autocorrect on my photo program.

This picture is good to remember in light of all this crapola....

I think that everything will be fine once we actually have Anakin in our grubby little hands, we will have tangible evidence with which to make an honest decision on how much we like or dislike the figure. Until then, I will not let anything mess with my head.

For everyone else's sanity....I suggest a similiar approach

Yeah yeah.

 

[Sachiel]

I noticed that too. What do you think it means?

Turns out it was given it's own thread.

Did anyone else notice that this guys Anakin has a belt that is not only frayed but is actually broken in the back? I think it is possible that this guy somehow got his hands on a reject.

You can use Babelfish to translate the Chinese forum web page. It gives you a faint idea of what it says. For example:

OMG
What his mouth has
The factory female worker is treats as him the Chinese baby's cherry small mouth in the picture

We all know what OMG stands for. The reaction to the paint job is the same all around the world!

I think that "factory female worker" is a reference to this lady:

And they seem to think that she painted Anakin's mouth to look like a Chinese baby doll whose mouth looks like a little cherry--too small, too dark, too round.

I like the stool the factory female worker is sitting on.

 

[EVILFACE]

I think they are smoking crack.

Looks like he screwed up his Luke as well "customizing" him.

It's the box from the never-released Legolas vs. Matrix Twin diorama...

I think whoever posted those pics either works for Sideshow or knows someone who does (the pieces are made in China, after all) which strengthens my feeling that this Anakin was a reject.

I have no worries about this now. Anakin will be great.

The first pictures of the Obi-Wan PF came out of China. The first pictures of the Grievous PF came out of China. The first pictures of Anakin came out of China. I don't think that it's a reject, I think it's the real thing. But I will try not to get carried away until I see mine in person--the only one that really matters to me!

 

[bluesparrow]

I will be outright shocked if they really shipped orange Anakins. I don't believe Sideshow would do that, or even want to do it. Chinese factory workers make mistakes, no doubt about that, but I really find it hard to believe they think white people are actually orange. Someone would have caught that big a mistake.

I believe that it is either:

-stage one of the guy's custom

or

-a poorly color corrected photo

Yeah, I agree Tom... I won't really worry until I have one and can nitpick until my eyes bleed.

And if it does look like that picture... I will fly to China personally and kick that stupid woman off of her stool!!!! :emperor :emperor

WOW!!! Was that comment really necessary. Some poor woman in China is probably getting paid $1 an hour painting your Anakin and because you don't like it (which would be Sideshow's QA fault), you want to kick her???

WTF!!!!

Someone should kick you off your computer chair.:emperor

 

[The Josh]

Here's a pic someone posted over at RS. Overall it looks good but if the lips are really coming out that dark that is a issue but I'm gonna wait to freak out till I get it in hand. I'll let other folks come down with the Chicken Little Syndrome.

WTF...Dude, its not like he was serious about it. I for myself would only want to bash her head with a shovel until her brain paints the wall of that second rated painting factory in China..... or maybe lower her salary.... Mwhahahaha.

Serious or not, it can still be construed as offensive. In fact, I was shocked to read a statement like that, and I understood that it was "supposed" to be funny.

Duckgoo shouldn't have responded so harshly, but I'm glad he said something.

Grab her stool for me when you're done. I want to sit on it while I'm looking at my Anakin. Thanks.

Dude.... seriously... it was a F*#%@ joke. How can something stupid like that be "construed as offensive"?? Did I make fun of her or berate her or anything? No... All I did was make a silly little comment that just so happens to involve violence. I wouldn't really go and do something like that... c'mon!!

Duckgoo... if you want to see offensive.. I promise... I can be much worse. Trust me. But I don't. 90% of the time, I'm one of the few who doesn't come on here and flip out about every little thing. I was just trying to lighten the mood. Sorry if my joke was not PG enough for you.

And if anyone wants to come and kick me off of my computer chair, they better have a good reason! And if I painted a great sculpt and made it look like Wookiee poo.... I would deserve it. But if not... They will have 4 years of military training to content with.

Until then.... chill out and share a beer with me on my birthday. oh... and stop b*tching about stupid comments!

P.S.. Thanks Shai, for being on my side here...

Hey, you expressed your opinion, and I expressed mine. I took great care not to offend you. I can't help it if I was offended by a bad joke. Are you saying that never happened to you? I'd find hard to believe you if you said it never did.

For some reason, it seems as if you're taking this as a personal attack. I don't know you, so I certainly wouldn't be taking a shot at you. I just found your comment in poor taste.

If you want to come back yelling at me, go ahead. I can take someone else's opinion for what it's worth.

Man..on that pic, you got Kane Hodder s' eyes....
