Thank you. Why is my opinion that they "screwed the pooch" any less valid than an apologist saying there's nothing wrong with it? In my opinion they took what could have been the best entry in the PF line and reduced it greatly by going the cheap route. Sorry if it hurts some people to hear that, but it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
I think Dave was directing this to those who make comments about how bad it is yet don't have it. I belive you have it and if thats you opionion its your opinion. Its those who don't have it that I feel are invalid, especialy those who priased its original pics.

He is a popular collectibles reviewer that has been featured many times on the SSC website. SS and many collectors respect his reviews because they are detailed, complete and concise. He knows whats good and what isn't. Maybe instead of insulting him and then telling him you didn't, you should actually do some internet research about him. A little less you talk, a little more you think.

That is typically MFOGAS style. He's kind of like that comic book character GROO the Wanderer. He charges into fray swinging his sword, not sure who he's attacking or why,.:rotfl :rotfl but dang it he's going to do some damage.

What exactly did you repaint on the helmet, I can see what you did to the belt but what else did you repaint.

Thanks
Helmet is totally re-painted:
Before (should have taken more before pics)

After:

That's why I wanted to get the PF Fett and also why I wanted to custumize it. this is how I would have liked to have received it right out the box. You can see the slight simularity in poses:

don't tell me it cost you $325 to customise it:rolleyes:

His reviews are very informative and usually right on the money. I have found that he states it like it is and doesn't play favorites. If I am in the mood for a glass of Sideshow Kool-aid I will be sure to check your site for reviews. There I will find nothing but reviews filled with words like "Wonderful" "Beautiful" "Orgasmic" "Sideshow has issued forth perfection again". . :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl
Good grief dude, your posts absolutely slay me!

First off if you belived that Im starting a website wow your slow. It was making a point just because someone does reviews that does not make him creditable and the word of god. He is intitled to his opinion but his does not have to be mine since he does reviews for a website. Sorry but what I bought looks like what I thought I was buying. Plain and simple. Is it different inside then the one I saw, don't know didnt undress him, is it lighter don't know it was in case and I couldn't pick it up. So as I said I got what I expected. I don't buy something because ite made of poly or plastice or gold for that matter. If I like the way it looks I but it. If I don't like the way it looks I don't but it. It quite simple.

And you I dont even know where to start. Ok I clearly started that this was not attack on him. I have read his reviews and they are what they are one persons opinion. I you take what ever he says as the work of god great thats you but I for one prefer to make my own opionion. Ohh and that opinion is based on the item I have sitting in my room, instead of some pirctures, and others opinions.
 
I want to say publicly that I am sorry if I erred in posting your pics McHaleyArt, not that I got that impression at all - but it is worth at least mentioning.

And yes, I do believe that this Fett thread was warranted, for the first time we got to see the Fett PF down to it's core - there certainly aren't too many of us here planning on doing this. Which btw your MHA's art/customization on this piece is amazing!

I know for me it was/is a shock to see that this isn't even solid, it is a hollow plastic body; and yes that DOES make the price tag hard to swallow. I would cancel this immediately but I won't do that to a friend (retailer), these will definately be cheaper in the very near future.
 
Wow, it really seems like this Fett debate is more vitriolic than usual. It does rather make me think of another debate about a figure, I can't remember which, where the majority of people who complained about the figure were the ones who had never seen it in person. Personally from the pics I've seen I can't say that I think it looks bad or any worse than any other PF. I can't wait to get it tomorrow and find out.

You know...? It's kind of funny...when I saw the final produciton photos I almost cancelled my order. But when I read in the blog that the body was made out of plastic I knew I could change the pose in addition to already knowing I would repaint him. This was very personal for me and I was probably the only one in the world that was very happy to hear about the plastic. The $325 was worth is for me to purchase the parts from SS and have a great time working on this. The end result is a sense of accomplishment that you just can't put a price on..oh...wait a minute...I guess we can...$325. Plus a really good feeling.:rotfl

Wow I didn't know I was that well followed. I am flatered. I knew who I was attacking and attacked that person. If you are unable to read the PS portion well then I don't know what to say.
 
McHaleyArt
Thanks for the info I was just wondering. It looks great though. How hard was it to repose?
 
I find it absolutely hysterical (though not entirely surprising) that certain people are now downplaying the opinion/word of one Michael Crawford.

:lol

You guys can post any of my photo's anywhere you want. To me this is a public showing and I don't own any rights, etc. I put the photo's of the naked fett up because (as probably the only one to take it apart on the 1st day) I thought people needed to see it wheather you like it or not.
