Ok, so in the spirit of full disclosure here, the photo you guys are going ape over is not mine (but it will be soon). This was shot by a horrible, horrible person called Patrick Tamayo (of Zord Photography fame) for Instagram.
There is no one alive that likes Patrick for too many reasons to list, but the main ones are, he comes up with these insane photos that force his unsuspecting, innocent victims to: #1 purchase ridiculously expensive figures and collectibles one would have otherwise passed on, and #2 make just about everyone feel insecure and inadequate regarding their photography skills!
There Qui-Gon was, minding his own business, secure in the knowledge that I didn’t need a new Clone Wars re-hash of the Episode III Anakin with a haircut and a battle droid gun platform with a fancy paint job for which there is little to no evidence that Mr. Skywalker ever actually rode in cannon!
Enter the degenerate, one Mr. Tamayo with this, and several other shots of the STAP with Anakin and several other characters, most recently General Grievous himself, posed with the vehicle. Due to Patrick’s rude and uncalled for dissemination of his figure pornography, I had no choice but to purchase this deluxe figure for which I previously had no desire, or budget for!
I hate Mr. Tamayo (I have informed him of this on multiple occasions) and I’m starting a club.
