In that case Sideshow need to give us the "other axe" that is missing.

The 2 Grammies with Bid are carrying differene axes.

The release of the second Gamorrean last week gave me the idea to finally take some pictures of Bib Fortuna. Great figure. Hard to believe it's been already 4 years since it's release.

Sideshow did a great job with him

 

[EVILFACE]

Yup. Lame character but SS nailed him or her or it whatever.

won bib as a prize during a spook a few years ago............which led to jabba, creatures, bousch, etc..................BIB FORTUNA was my gateway to dropping mo money..............

damn you bib, damn you....................

 

[agen_kolar]

Something is very off about Bib, though I've never been able to put my finger on what. I think his eyes may be over-sized. I also think his jawline/neck area isn't defined enough. I'd like them to revisit him at some point, although I seriously doubt they will.

 

[icruise]

Bib is a pretty nice figure and I don't see them ever redoing him. (Frankly there are other figures much more deserving of being redone if they ever decide to go down that road.) The likeness to Michael Carter is only so-so, but he fills the spot in the Jabba display nicely. Plus he's incredibly cheap on the secondary market. He was actually my first or second Sideshow figure, and I believe I bought him for $19.77 (seller got cutesy with the price -- probably should have been $19.83 )

 

[anaking13]

I agree with you before reworking of the characters already achieved expected mostly novelty. And it is true that the prices on the secondary market makes it a very attractive character for collectors like me who started their collection for less than two years.

 

[agen_kolar]

I'd be interested in seeing that.

Another great figure after a body swap and a repaint....

Wow, you’ve made that look amazing Chakaman. Wasn’t this figure originally under $100 or something, you’ve made it look Hot Toys quality.

 

[generalgrevious]

yeah i repainted mine as well. and swapped out the body.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

time for Hot toys to make this version.

Looks fantastic. I have this guy but have been unsure as to which body would be best/easiest. Mind sharing what you used?

 

[okieh 2]

Great repaint and weathering Chris !!

Thanks!

I used a True Type narrow shoulder knock off. They are around $15-20 on ebay.

This and the rebirth of the Gamorrean thread are some of the most refreshing I’ve seen on these SW threads in a while.
