Bespin Luke 12" figure

[devilof76]

That was good.

I don't think it hit me until Josh started arguing with him.

 

[The Josh]

Are you trying to skirt the issue or just sound like a complete idiot?

I was being a smart ass but I can see this is lost on you. Which I'm not surprised. As far as soudning like a complete idiot. I can't. Why? You have that nailed down pretty good.

And your opinion is completely the reason why your reviews are not credible. Evidently, you're opinion is that there is no flaw worth debating about because every time I mention something you swoop down and make idiotic statements. Whatever.

An opinion is an opinion and all are credible in that we believe what we say. You don't because you're too busy bitcing and moaning. If I don't see a flaw then I don't see it. If I don't agree with you then I'm gonna post as such if you don't like that or can't take it then you'll just have to deal with it.

As I said you've pretty much got it locked down on the idiotic statements. So when you're ready to give that title up then maybe I can take it.

Josh's opinion is credible in so much that it represents what he thinks - which is really all an opinion is. This is a discussion thread as well. So don't feel like Josh is "swooping" down on your comments. He is merely discussing them. Thats what we are all here for.

Thnx Pix! I find it funny that people feel I'm swooping down on their opinion when as you said this is a discussion board. All I'm doing is discussing why I they're right or wrong.

Really I think Josh has an unfair reputation for being a blind "follower" of Sideshow - almost like Sideshow was a religion or a political party. He is merely a guy who really loves what they do. There is nothing wrong with that. I have seen him criticize them as well from time to time. If he sees something wrong, he will say it.

Yup, I just like the products they make and I will support that as such. When I don't I will say so.

Alrighty. I didn't realize I wasn't doing exactly what you say you should be allowed to do, which is posting my opinion.

I'm just saying if I don't agree I'm gonna let you or anyone else here know. It's all just part of the discussion. No need to feel picked on.

Its a catch 22.

Then lets discuss.

I just posted a couple pictures of Yavin Luke. I can easily tell that even with my figure's arms bent and behind the back that the sleeves hang much lower than they do from the real film with Luke's arms to his side.

Once Pix or someone else posts a better comparison pic of the toy with his arms to his side, you will see it gets even worse.

I would like this to be resolved in future releases and I think the best way to do that is not just a shortening of the forearm, but a complete redesign of the Art S Buck or at least a redesign of the arms.

What do you think?

 

[devilof76]

Catch 22???? It's a freakin mobius strip.

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

That was the sound of an apparant math joke going way over my head.

 

[pixletwin]

What do you think?

At least we know the Art Buck is a thing of the past and the thought that Hot Toys is collaborating on an entirely new body is encouraging.

 

[devilof76]

WEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I couldn't explain it if I tried.

How about a chinese finger puzzle?

 

[ProgMatinee]

We do?

I know for the Hobbits its obviously not being used.

Well, from staring at mine in my room. I don't see it. the arms appear to be much better than the Jedi Luke which does have some arm issues. Could they be maybe a tiny bit longer sure. At least to the naked on most people I've seen talk about it this is not an issue with this figure nor has anyone who saw the Bespin Luke at SDCC.

I think SS has fixed the monkey arm issue. Outside of Jedi Luke the rest of the figures haven't had this problem. I honestly think some people look for issues so they have a reason 2 complain. Not that you are per say but in general.

In this pic his arms appear to be just fine. IMO anyways.

The new body is going to affect every sized figure: that means from the smallest to the biggest.

Here is the video. https://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=comiccon07_products-panel

Yes. Every new 1:6 figure will see the benefits of this new collaboration.

Why not...you need to catch up to me in post count. I'm six...wait.....seven ahead.

Yup, so things are gonna improve overall. Especially for those that really don't like the buck body. I just wanna know what the haters will pick on next.

Sounds very promising...but (sorry!)...I hope he wasn't serious about using the 9" body to become a 12" body by simply swapping arms and legs "modularly".

You're on.

The $5 price increase that will cause.

I'm already preparing my speech.

 

[devilof76]

I think my favorite part of this is the fact that Prog never gets mad the way claude used to.

This could well be Josh's demise...
