[gunm]

Mine arrived last week, but I won't get to open it until I get back from vacay.

Cool pics!

Got my Ex a few days ago, I love it too.

Love the pics! Are those the Medicom Lightsabers? Absolutely sucks that you have to get that medi ANH Luke to get that lightsaber.

C'mon HTs you have to make real light up sabers for the 1/6 Star Wars.

Cheers Centurian, Joda and Guyver.

The sabers are cold cathode tubes made by SSf's own Katkuru. The light they throw out is immense.

Woah really, wow nice what's SSF? How did you fit the tubes in the hilt or is that a special made hilt.

You've found us!

I got lucky and my buddies grabbed me this for Christmas. I noticed that the glue on both magnets dried up I guess? Either way does anyone have any glue recommendations to put them back?

Personally I used Zap-Gap CA+ glue to put mine back on since I use it for everything and have had no problems with it. I have seen a few others use various brands of super glue and had no problems. But that is just my 2 cents maybe someone else will chime in.

Sorry.. SSf= Sideshow Freaks
Yeah the hilts were made by Kat, pre-fitted into the tubes and pre-wired up to plugs, totally ready to go.

That picture is totally insane!!! Looks so real.

nice picts .. loved it

 

[Keenan]

Opened mine last night. Pretty happy overall. The only issues I found- the button on one of the shirts tore off when I tried to open it. And the saber holder on the belt came off. Botch can be fixed, so those are minor gripes.

Edit- also the magnet on the holster tore off. And the magnet in the head was just missing. So I dremeled the hair out some more and spot glued it in place. Now it sits lower....

(Some shots in the falling snow)

 

[jedijim3002]

Yup. I usually try to squeeze my finger nails in between the two sides of the snaps on the jackets if I'm trying to unbutton for that very reason. I hate it when that happens.

 

[Billy Ray]

Got mine yesterday...best Christmas present EVER! Totally blown away!

No issues with the magnets, and I didn't get an "uke". Only minor problem was one of the belt pouches on the BD figure had come off but, fortunately, was in the box...just needs a dab of glue to fix.

Haven't had much chance to mess around with him, but defintely will be later on today...will get some pics up later. Really, really love this figure!

 

[thedarkknight]

My figure is awesome, but the strap on the blaster holster seems to be splitting. Is there a good, flexible glue I can use to repair it?

 

[pixletwin]

Finally opened mine. Love everything about it except:

1) Magnet on BD head needed to be superglued back in.
2) Saber clip on regular belt came off. (not lost, thankfully)
3) Disappointed Luke doesn't have a saber-gripping left hand.

 

[Rook]

...Disappointed Luke doesn't have a saber-gripping left hand.

Or a pistol-packin' left hand. Either one would have worked with the saber/pistol dual-wielding combo pose I had in mind.

Yes, that too.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Agreed. I ended up picking up a loose T-800 DX gripping left hand for holding on to the weather vane.

You didn't glue the hair on his head did you?
