Hello.
Usually I'm more a reader than a writer in a forum board. But sometimes I feel the need to post my opinion, and it's about Gamorrean articulation.
Really, why do we collect 1/6 scale FIGURES, instead 1/6 or 1/4 scale STATUES or BUSTS?
Why we fall in love with a 12" G.I. JOE in Star Wars disguise? Oh, yes, I remember... it's articulated body! Starting from that premise, what makes a figure a piece of art? Oh, yes... I remember; the ability to make a character so real as possible in that scale... oh yes, I remember the first time I saw Medicom's ROTJ Vader... I though how the hell they designed a mannequin to look so ___ing
real... that was an amazing job... and at an amazing price.
Later came Sideshow an began to design the same like Medicom, even better in a lot of regards... and specially in price.
Wow, first was Luke Jedi, Anakin, Obi-Wan...
OMG! they were going to produce a complete Jabba the Hutt's set!
One moment... wait, wait, wait... Is that Jabba a 1/6 figure? Or a 1/6 statue with two extra points of articulation? Oh, and that Salacious? If I want a statue, I'll collect Attakus or some ____t
like that... Now they are coming again to tell us that Gamorrean doesn't need more articulation? Are you kidding? how much cost that bulky ____t of plastic? Please someone tell me why knee and elbow articulation are not need for ANY 1/6 figure? Oh, yesss, Sideshow are intelligent people and they think... to capture the essence of the character in screen... blah, blah...no need... blah, blah... you will buy that figure even being a ____t... blah, blah.... at 120,00 $... blah, blah, and thats the cheapest for an authentic articulated NEW bulky body ____t... blah, blah...
