Bib Fortuna image thread

[Batty]

Thanks, Batty! That was a very kind compliment... ... I need a moment...

You're welcome. Now you owe me a dollar.

You're right about the sculpt. Is this Tim Miller's first SW figure?

 

[pjam]

Damn WG, very nice shot there! Great sculpt indeed!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks, P!

It is Tim Miller indeed... I don't know if this is his first sculpt, or just first released though. Nonetheless, its wicked!

...He has me looking forward to the whole throne room display next year.

Right now he's going to be lonely, but it's nice to get the first "Scum and Villainy" figure out of the box.

He's not going to be alone for a long time. Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere before, but I've just received a mail about the Salacious B. Crumb Creature Pack Inclusive Edition which is now on its way to the European warehouse. Looks like SSC is really getting into this 'improving the EU warehouse' thing... Well, I sure welcome it!
But it's a strange mail altogether:
... "Sideshow Collectibles has begun shipping stock to the E.U. warehouse directly from our U.S. warehouse, rather than from our manufacturing facilities as we have in previous years."...
Manufacturing facilities... Those are in China right?
So, where's the difference? I thought it was always like that? In that order I mean. China->US->EU..., no?

Oh and cool pix everyone! Bib sure looks great! Wor-Gar, can't wait to see your water treatment pix!

Was it in this thread that I was reading that UPS is using old tracking numbers???

I just got an email saying that Bib was delivered to Lender TX on 8-29-2005.

What the hell is that all about??

 

[King Darkness]

Oh and very nice pix Tom & Wor!!! I wish I had Bid here already!

 

[jedibear]

OK, here's 2 more quick close-ups just to take a look at Bib's awesome face.
This sculpt is another home-run!

Indeed it is as your fine photography demonstrates! That's one thing about these figures I really like....how just changing the lighting shows off different features more than others...

Looks good, Wor-Gar!

Any chance of some side and back-of-head shots featuring the same interesting lighting?

 

[Customikey]

FINALLY got my Quantum. Jan 5th is the day!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Thanks to all for the kudos...

BUT I have some bad news for some of you...

drum roll

I have known for quite some time that there are dark forces at SS that wish to put an end to the "special kinky kitchen pictures". They have even made several attempts on my life... but I have managed to continue my selfless efforts to serve the people's desire for the truth and get these pictures out there. But this time, they may just have found a way to stop me...

Bib's undergarment -- which looks like a big blue nightshirt -- is sewn closed around the body! There's no way to get it off. Therefore, there's no way to get him nude!

I'll do my best with what has been dealt to me -- a crushing blow from SS -- but this will require a bit of a change from the usual photo session.

 

[jedibear]

Another quick question for those "fortuna" - te (sorry..bad pun...couldn't resist ) to have him...is the shipper situation the same as Maul....nice styro caps, slightly larger shipper? Hope so....

 

[TOE]

he looks really good!!!! those that have him, I hope you guys haven't cancelled the whole Jabba set

I was told that UPS re-uses tracking numbers, same thing happened to me, but I got mine today. Not last year in Oregon as it said.

 

[The Josh]

Outstanding stuff guys!!

I love how everything again on this one came out right. Could it be our third 10/10 figure? Looking like it could be that way.

WG man that sucks you won't be able to do the naked pics but they cannot stop the doily.
