Plo Koon Priority Preorder Thread

[Buttmunch]

I learned from Cancelling my Kurgan exclusive. I cancelled him because I thought money would be tight when he would ship, plus he still wasn't sold out. Then he gets sold out and I must have been the first on that wait list. Never got a response and I could have afforded him when he shipped I still want that head. So never cancel anything you want until the last possible minute!

The saber is yellow not green and they are following it from the books.That is where Plo Koon has the yellow saber and guantlet.

I'm sorry that still looks green to me. I was also hoping for the Episode I saber hilt but oh well. I do agree a yellow blade is the way to go. I must need to adjust the color on my monitor.

Man, if it came down to a cancellation, why Bib? Boushh Leia doens't enhance the Jabba display nearly as much as Bib does, IMHO.

i never understood the popularity of bib. the guy walked around for like 10 minutes of the movie and did absolutely nothing of importance.

Well I might actually cancel Leia as well.... the only Leia's I really want would be Slave Leia or ANH Leia..... Well... maybe Bespin Leia...

I have to start saving a little dough for college and trying to fix my horrendous (420 score) credit rating so that I can even GET the loans I need. So I figure I will have to track down a regular Bib later on down the road when things get a little smoother....

Plus I promised my Fiance that I would only get the major characters that I could not LIVE without...

I figure that the eventual Boba Fett will fit the Jabba scene rather well.... so I will wait.

My credit rating is ALSO the main reason I have worked on my painting skills so hard in the last few months... I need all the cash I can get!!!!

I'll keep that in mind if I am unhappy with the results of my Luke repaint.

Cool! Hey, just think of me as the cheaper, slightly less talented version of Mikey....

This is me dying inside....

 

[gambit]

Ordered in less than 5 minutes

Cool figure, really like it

yellow saber would be nice though

 

[carbo-fation]

Still can't believe I missed it! I just hope my waitlist will come through like it did with Anakin.!

 

[oxbeard]

Well I decided to go ahead and order then make up my mind, very surprised at how fast the order went. Didn't start trying till 5 after and honestly was less than a minute to completion :chew

Thats too funny Josh. I didn't order Plo. I have to become more selective in my SW figure purchases. No Mace, no Ploo, and no Kit & no Vaderkin. Have to stick to characters that, like you said, I CANT live without!

 

[wookilar8]

I was so preoccupied with putting money on my debit card for Jaws that I completely forgot about Plo. I hope the waitlist comes through but I doubt it seeing as I got on 6 hrs after it sold out.

And what exactly did Plo Koon do that was so important? At least Bib freaked me out when I first saw him as a kid. With his red eyes and pointy teeth... Yikes!

 

[Darth Rage]

I'm glad I didn't want one of these. I had to work today and forgot all about it. Talk about quick sell out. Congrats to all of you that nabbed one.

So with Plo Koon being my favorite Jedi ever, here's what I think of the figure. The sculpt is MAGNIFICENT--just stunning. Having two sets of hands? BEST MOVE EVER. Nothing is wrong with the figure itself; it's flawless. As far as the costume, it's kind of lame giving him Mace's exact undertunic (despite the differing inner shirt), but the outer robe is so perfect I forgive them--he never takes it off in the film anyway. So with the outer robe, he is amazingly perfect.

Now, accesories. The concept lightsaber? Flippin' awesome dudes, that is what an exclusive should be.

HOWEVER!!!!!!

A sin has been commited, one which must be amended AT ONCE. Plo Koon's lightsaber IS BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No ifs, ands, or buts--in the movies, in THE VERY CANON OF THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE, he has a BLUE lightsaber with a handle IDENTICAL to Mace's episode I saber (as sideshow made it). Sideshow, you have time--use Mace's hilt and give it a blue blade--SIMPLE! It is small, but the screen accuracy depends upon it.

PLEASE FIX PLO'S LIGHTSABER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what's up with the gauntlet thingy? What's that from? Pic?

As it has been stated many times before, it was based off of concept art. See the Production Blog for a pic.

Plo is one of my favorite Jedi, if not my most (of the background Jedi of course) and I think the figure is wonderful. The blade needs to be blue, but if they want to throw in the green/yellow blade he already has then I'm fine with that too. The gauntlet blade should stay the same since the concept art had green blades. The pants at the very least should be brown and not white. I have faith that Sideshow will fix these though.

If they can fix the robe to be more like photos posted earlier, I'll be happy with him.

We need a BLUE saber, too.
