I have the framed original Supes and the b&w TMNT. I still need to frame the Turtles but they are quite nice.

The Mondo Lando print. I figured I wouldn't put it on the wall since my space is limited and I'd really like to get a couple more original theatrical posters.

Speaking of Mondo, did they stop releasing prints in the SW series? I have the Stormtrooper, and looking at buying the Snowtrooper but then I would want a Scout aswell. Seems like there has not been a release in a while.

I don’t see them being done. Maybe just giving the artist time to produce more characters so they can prepare to release another wave. To many characters left to do in a great-selling franchise, stopping just doesn’t make sense.

Haven't bought a PF in years but that ANH Leia looks awesome. If the actual piece looks like the proto [emoji15]

It seems like they have, but I never saw any type of announcement.

Branching out into Marvel probably made too much work for him.

Always best to wait for in-hand photos, but you can’t if there’s a good exclusive.

Something very special is blasting across the Atlantic right now and will be landing in my collection very soon. Can’t wait to show this to everybody!

They may have had the contract up, I was under the impression that is was subbed from Acme but maybe they were not allowed to redo that or didn’t like the new terms.

Is anyone in here planning on going to MegaCon in Orlando? There is going to be an exclusive comic there that I need to get ahold of. If anyone is going and can help me out please let me know. Thanks!

Mitchell said a while ago that he was done with them. He may or may not go back

So the R2 was a rocket launcher

George really will sell anything with Star Wars on it.

Sad part is I think it’s worse now that Disney is in control

 

[Darth Waller]

You're right. They can be pretty bad with merchandising.

Their desire to maximize ROI is out of control.

I think that's why last Celebration was so damn crowded. You just know they allowed Reed Pop to sell more tickets.

 

[Aliaz]

And yet there is no Celebration in Europe in sight...

I understand companies wanting to make their money back and obviously a profit, I have no problem with that. But we all know that these large crowds are getting filled up with more and more scalpers and that's what I have a problem with. Sure, some are new fans and that's great, but scalpers are popping up like noxious weeds and it drives me crazy.

Side note, the Star Wars Bananas for TLJ were too much for me.

EFX Scout helmet arrived. Like I said before I wasn't expecting too much difference from what I've seen from collector's pics already.
The helmet is quite heavy, shiny and looks solid, coming with a nice COA, but is not as accurate as it could have been. The jaw flair and the big visor gap are the most prominent issues with this replica. My visor closes quite ok looking from sides, but looking from top it the gap is wider on one side than the other.

The visor itself has some accuracy problems as well. The snout is not that sharp, but was expecting to be softer so it is ok. The stand looks cheap, but seems reasonably steady and solid, still is definitely inferior to other EFX stands. Price is quite high for what you get in the end, especially for international collectors who weren't bribed by EFX with a free Vader helmet.

The overall appearance is ok, less accurate than RS Prop Masters and maybe even LoneWolf, and looks better than Altmanns, the other licensed high end Scout helmet. An ok replica, but inferior to previous EFX LE helmet replicas. It is not the worst Scout helmet out there, but definitely not the best.

Comparison EFX vs LoneWolf (LW) vs RS Prop Masters Scout Trooper Helmets:

May the 4th would be a great moment to announce where and when the next one will be held.
