I am actually considering trying to get that base so I can customize it into a stand for my Mythos Boba Fett. He might look good on that. It would take some work... some epoxy-puttying, a little cutting... some drybrushing?. wouldn't be horrible tho. Thinking it over. A desert stand would do well with many figures actually.
For sure IMO on this one. Almost picked up Kylo's centerpiece just for the desert base - well, I did, but keeping that one as-is with Kylo. A great piece. Just couldn't bring myself to destroy the blue light piece attached to the tower, far as I can tell the blast effect is wired in somehow and permanently attached to the tower. I would have had to ditch the light tower and fill the hole left in the wall top. If I can ever pick another one up super cheap, I might tho. Someone with more skills than me might do better removing the "blast effect".
Rey's centerpiece tho IMO has endless possibilities with minimal skills. The "lava" is clear dark yellow plastic - looks orange - thought with a wash of clear gloss browns etc. I can get it to look like water, and with some painting etc. turn it into Arvala-7. Plus, IMO, makes a great Navarro with some tweaks.
(Great idea to use with 1/6 hadn't thought of that. Just pulled the top portion off one of mine and there's that nice flat section that can easily be spackled over with some added debris/rocks. Excellent!)
Or a desert with a sort of dried up wadi. IMO easy base to work with. So yeah, IMO great piece if u can pick up cheap - tho poor Rey has to stay in the box.
Anybody getting annoyed the big stores have either no SW display at all anymore or they are in a tiny section or they have the same peg warmers
Yeah, and I can't hang around when releases come out, hoping that day Target etc. MIGHT put something good out. Stores are trying to force mail order and for me, they are winning.
