Since I'm younger than all of you, my favorite were the POTF2 Nien Nunb and Yakface when I was a kid.

My favorite ROTJ figure was Boushh. The whole Jabba set up was brilliant. Rebo band, Jabba and his throne, Lando, Ree Yees, Squidhead, Gamorrean, R2 with the lightsaber...

My favorite ESB figure was Yoda, but Hoth Han and Luke with the Tauntauns were close seconds.

Those were all GREAT f'n figures.

How old are you, Ben? Mid 20's?

How old are you, Ben? Mid 20's?

Yep. I'm 26 years old.

Yep. I'm 26 years old.

It's crazy how big a difference ten years makes.

Did you see the new Nein Numb that's coming out in the Vintage collection this year? Can't wait!

Yeah the new Nien Nunb looks amazing. I'll be skipping the prequel waves of the VOTC, but I'll definitely pick him up when he's released. He's too cool to pass up.

I don't even remember POTF figures. I think my brother got a few, but they were completely off my radar.

is it horrible that I am not huge into purchasing action figures...I buy ones for my nephews and enjoy hunting those but for myself I never really got on board with figure hunting but more big stuff hunting...

His artwork is amazing. I felt sorry for the guy at SDCC last year. He was sitting there with nothing to do while people lined up at J. Scott Campbell's table.

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

WTF? J. Scott Campbell is a good artist but he's no Arthur Adams...that guy is a legend!

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

That's sad.... J. Scott Campbell is a cover artist, AA is a comic book legand.

Great drawing, BTW!!

I think he is over rated and pompous. I like his work, but have some humility for the art and the industry.

Arthur Adams is a legend !

Adams is up there with Dave Stevens IMO. Solid. Nice to see Walla is still alive, and JJJ is in here too. Now where's the good doctor and Slade? Vintage jr. thread.

I'm glad to hear you guys say that about Adams. I knew you guys were cool!

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

His linework is great, combined with his soft cross hatching technique and BAM, one awesome style of comic art.

That's the scariest looking Kowakian Monkey Lizard I've ever seen. The Gamorreans are pretty imposing as well.

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

How awesome would a 1/6th Amanaman be??

And yeah, I agree Ben... The Gammy with the mouth wide open looks fierce!

 

[Boba Ben]

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

I've been asking for 1/6 Amanaman forever. He's just slightly behind Walrusman on my most wanted list.

I wonder how they came up with the name Amanaman? They probably wanted to call him Bananaman but thought it was too obvious.

Re: (FLOSI'S Cantina) aka where "Everybody knows your name..."

Knowing how a lot of the characters got their names I'd say you're probably right.
