[swiftwilly]

just got mine - any particular areas I should check for defects that other people have reported?

Think I'm getting this tomorrow if the shop buys a statue I'm getting rid of. Wish me luck.

I think my statue is more valuable than the actual Hot Toy so I think I have a shot. It's the DC Collectible Batman/Catwoman Kiss Statue 1248/2600.

Sorry for the double post but got Obi, and Captain Phasma Black Series for the statue straight up trade. Post a picture tonight.

How many members saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977; yes I'm showing my age?

I was there. My parents and uncle & aunt took me and my brother to see it. I was 4, he was 5. We loved it. Loved it so much that my parents had to convince me that not only are lightsabers not real, but that a career in film making isn't either.
I was trying to explain to my GF (she grew up in Europe, never saw the Star Wars films) the HUGE significance of these movies. They came out before video game, or computers, or cell phones, internet - hell, most of us didn't even have more than 10 channels or so on the TV (not everyone had cable back then). Basically, no other distractions other than books and comics. Due to the lack of choice, pop culture was almost universal (in North America, anyway). Every kid I ever knew or met back then had seen/loved Star Wars (and ESB and ROTJ). Everyone had some of the action figures, or wanted them. It was like a bond to the rest of the generation.

I think most people either forget this or simply have no concept of a world as simple as that when this movie first hit.

My second Hot Toy joins the collection. Simple cell phone pic will suffice, much better photographers have captured this awesome figure already. It really wasn't on my radar but I'm watching Clone Wars right now and it's mother f'ing Obi-Wan. Even in the prequels, one of the best characters in the Star Wars Universe. He's the guy that waved his hand and made Storm Troopers do his will, he's the guy that trained Darth Vader, etc, etc. can't wait for him to battle with Lord Vader next month.

Cool pic and congrats! I wasn't going to go down the path of the SW figures but...my Obi-Wan should be shipping any day.

Great way to check that it still works.

My initial plan was to wait until I had Han, Chewie, R2 (received), Luke, Leia and C3PO (awaiting shipment) in hand and then decide if I needed Old Ben. I had a moment of weakness over the weekend and ended up ordering Ben...

The KKK hood was bothering me so I steamed up the bathroom real good and went in there to make the cloth a little better to manipulate.

10 Channels without cable you say. We had 2. 1 commercial channel and 1 government channel.

Arrives Tuesday! My wife keeps asking me what I want for Christmas so I'm trying hard to get her to pop on Han or Chewie.

He really is a great figure. You won't be disappointed.
