My SW Bandai arrived.

Sorry Maul is a SH Figuarts but they all arrived together. Hmmm can't get the picture straight on this thread.

Really? I didn't know that. That's kinda lame.

Where is a good place to order these from here in the States?

Put Boba together. It was really fun, loved how he turned out. Now if I can work up the nerve to paint it

 

[Darth_Finger]

Great looking Fett. How are you going to paint him?

 

[AIR]

I'm not sure. I don't know what kind of paint to use as this is my first model kit.

 

[Darth_Finger]

Ordered Fett to check him out.

Just found this thread. I absolutely love these kits, so far I have: 3 Vaders, 7 Stormtroopers, 3 Biker Scouts, 2 Sandtroopers, 2 R2-D2/R5-D4 sets, 1 C-3P0, and 2 Fetts. I am so glad that even with the restrictions on them now, that they seem to be pretty readily and easily available from Amazon. I haven't tried any vehicles yet, but I am tempted to try the X-Wing and Slave 1.

Also AIR, I recommend using Tamiya Acrylic paint, out of all of the paints I have used it is the best. It can easily be found at any hobby shop or online. They even sell a specific "weathering master" set with rust, silver and gun metal colors that are perfect to detail Fett's armor.

Anyone know when the First Order Stormtrooper should be released?

Here's my Bandai ESB Boba made and painted. Must say that it's been one of the most fun customs that I have done. The sculpt and details are much better than other 6 inch Boba's of this scale. I thought that Revoltech Boba was good, but accuracy of sculpt and the main colours chosen seems pretty screen and if not prop accurate. Sure I had adjust a few colours around the visor mandible and the shoulder epaulette.

picked up one of the T-70 resistance x-wings. I haven't started it yet because I'm not sure if I wanna build it as is--blue & white--or paint it up like Poe's Black and Orange. The other thing I was wondering is whether they all use a BB series astromechs? Apparently BB-8 is "a one of a kind". The kit comes with a tiny, tiny BB-8. If I go black/orange, I'll put in BB-8, but if I go regular blue/white than I might use an R2. Can someone confirm whether or not they all use BB series? There's not a lot of info online at the moment. Does anyone have one of the starship books?

All else fails, I'll just get a 2nd kit still need to know about the astromechs though.

That is a great looking Fett! I was thinking of picking one up to paint but ended up getting more astromechs. Your Fett makes me rethink that decision.
