There's a warm front rising... in my pants.
 
Quick off topic note, Luke was ALWAYS meant to have the ST blaster, so the shirt material wasn't to cover that, ANH Han was the figure where the boards chimed in about the error listing it on the site and then getting it included and all.

Ok. My mistake.

I just think it's a stretch to say that because of the shirt, Sideshow failed in their promise to spare no expense. If someone wanted to hold them to that to the letter, we would have had a blastshield helmet, a stormtrooper belt, and a better sculpt (incidentally, I think the proto paint was worse than the production).

I'm completely the opposite. The material on a figure is #1 priority. I rarely display Luke with the blaster, but he always has that shirt on. Its the biggest flaw of the figure by far and very glaring to me.

Likeness is my highest priority. If a figure's face is not immediately and clearly recognizable then my expectations for the rest will be equally compromised. Clothing becomes irrelevant once the figure ceases to be a dead ringer for the character.

Since that level of likeness is not to be expected (though Lando appears to be a new entry into the ranks of Palpatine and Ben Kenobi) the standard I am left to judge these figures by is how well it works as a whole, for what it is. Boushh and Jedi Luke are good examples of that. So are ROTS Skywalker, Kenobi, and Windu. Slightly lesser examples are the ANH heroes, Qui-gon, or ESB Han & Luke. The aliens all escape this standard because they seem to stand fully on their own merits. Even with Maul, the semblence is far enough from human that discrepancies don't register, and I consider all of them up to this point to be spectacular.

But Lando is impressive as hell, and yes, I would be disappointed if his cape didn't end up having the liner details. But that's because everything else is so dead-on. My only complaint is that he's not on the Buck. :monkey3

Oh good...someone else said it first! It's not that I hate the Pro...it just seems short. Lando's looking a little scrunched up on the Pro but otherwise he looks fantastic!
 
:lol

I can totally hear her now.

You know I just watched the BSP in its entirety (only watched a few seconds last night) and I think she did a pretty good job! Lots of weird phrases for a girl to say like "Bespin pistol", "Stormtrooper blaster", "Lando Calrissian", "Empire Strikes Back", "rebel hero", etc. Common words and titles for us but pretty off the wall for a lot of chicks. If she was reading a prompter she certainly did better than my local TV anchors.

I'm used to my wife saying those phrases like a pro after being married to me for four years but when I met her certain names of SW characters, aliens, and planets would just crack her up.

WHOA! Now I watched that whole video even though I dont know Spanish.:cool:
 
:crying :mad: :cuss :mad: :crying

I would sell stuff before I let that one go.

I know but I am slowly getting out 12" Star Wars and just sticking to PF for now. Way too many lines and things to collect I had to scale back. The only 12" Star Wars I am for sure keeping right now is my Stormie and Darth Vader. Trying to unload Clone Armor and ANH Obi Wan but no one is biting. :(
 
I waitlisted for an exclusive Lando minutes after it went up at 1:05:11 on the order day (listed as 2009-02-20 18:05:11 on my SSC order page) but I still haven't had the wait list converted. If anyone else is considering cancelling theirs please let me know if you can work with me to let me take it off your hands. I would pay to have it shipped from your house after you receive it if we can't redirect it directly to me. This is the only Star Wars or Indiana Jones SSC exclusive I haven't been able to successfully get direct from SSC yet. I got distracted with something at work right before 1 PM.

Has anyone who waitlisted close to my time had theirs converted yet? Sideshow might have cleared the original order from your history but if you have the original e-mail from the waitlist order it will show the time. Just wondering how close the conversions so far are getting to the time I placed my order. Thanks...
 
I had to let this one go; I’m hoping down the line SS will make a Lando in disguise the one form ROTJ. Although the head sculpt looks great, still and easy pass for me.

If you jumped on minutes after it went up then I can pretty much guarantee it will eventually convert for you. Most people won't cancel until we get the 20 day notice from Sideshow.
