I wonder if the people calling for the change have even seen star wars? This is stupid.

Re: Freaktacular 2015
Now I need a 6" Slave Leia... *sigh*
And a costume for my wife.. *extra sigh*
Anyways, LaMelnik your GitD Crow pop was shipped today. It sat on a shelf for 3 months, then sat in a box packed up for more. It's loose, but enjoy it! I got it because I needed a bit more to use a discount thing... not a Crow fan myself. *shrugs* Just never got into it, so enjoy him!

Re: Freaktacular 2015
Reading the last few pages, I figured I'd share my view of the Slave Leia issue.
I think Slave Leia was an excellent addition to the film. The outfit not only showed where she belonged in Jabba's mind but also put her in a position to overcome the literal chains placed on her because she was considered nothing more than a pretty object.
That being said, however, I feel the obsession with the outfit is detrimental to the brand. She was put in that outfit because Jabba was a slime ball. By focusing on that look for merchandising, it promotes the image that they approve of Jabba's outfit choice and, thus, the servitude inherent in it.
The obvious answer, of course, is to only sell Leia figures in the slave outfit if they are accompanied by a dead slug mobster, emphasizing Leia's self actualization. Preferably packaged so she is riding the Hutt on his journey to rejoin the ether.

Re: Freaktacular 2015
For me the whole slave Leia issue is symtomatic of the ******** that is Hollywood at the moment. The PG and PC neutering of film that panders to the moral right ruins film for me as an adult. I watched The Martian the other day and f---ing was written exactly as that on screen to protect the rating. Why? There are actually adults in the ****ing audience, the whole concept of the film is geared to appeal to a mature audience yet its censored so a 5 year old can watch it. Yet there's likely the exact prescribed maximum number of "****s" uttered per the requirements of a PG13 film... There's a massive gap between PG13 and R that's just idiotic where content is restricted to the point blood is measured to the literal and digital ml and swear words equal to the run time in PG13 yet R is a pretty much unrestricted.
I believe PG13 was created as a result of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and it not meeting the PG rating. That was 30 years ago. I doubt if Temple of Doom was released today it would meet the PG13 requirements that were established so it could actually be released. Yet in 30 years it's probably fair to say younger audiences are more mature than back then yet censorship standards have gotten more restrictive.
Even this forum stupidly censors things... I can't even be a fan of **** Tracy comics without the holy word detector protecting the innocence of someone.

Which means that previous statues will go up in value wince they will no longer produce them.
Agreed. Social groups are choking creativity until it dies.

It will be interesting to see how dark Disney make their SW movies. ANH was quite tame compared to ESB and I expext TFA will be on the tamer side too. Although based on things I've read TFA does have the potential to be dark.

Just a heads up--looks like Susan is giving away the unclaimed Spook prizes today.

Dark but even the the prequels have their moments. Take Order 66 for example, I can't see Disney even hinting at something like the slaughter of children in a film.

I was kicked from the special FB group the other day. Perhaps she kicked everybody out since Spook is over, but it still hurt my feelings...

Very cool Crow collection right there.
By the way, anyone know why LaMelnik is banned?
