Plo Koon Priority Preorder Thread

[TheObsoleteMan]

Corrections ARE in order here, outfit for sure...

I keep hearing this, but I've yet to see anyone post a picture from any of the movies that clearly shows his outfit, all I've seen are fully robed pics.

Considering the fact that I don't even REMEMBER this character from the movie - - I am NOT the one who you should be approaching about screen accuracy But I can promise that the Production Guys have seen all your comments

Glad to hear that there were no pre-ordering problems this time around - we figured out a new way to route web traffic and it seems to have worked like a charm!

So I guess the days of PPO server meltdowns are a thing of the past?

Ahhh, the fond memories...

Well... if you really want to re-live those days, I'm sure we could arrange it. But Chris might explode, and that wouldn't be pretty

As for the price, I know that a LOT more R&D went into this figure than normal... and the mask part of the head sculpt was one the most difficult engineering problems they've had to solve so far. Perhaps that explains it?

Thanks Dusty! Makes sense.

Dusty, your the greatest! I'll second the "blue" lightsaber request or maybe "yellow" or "orange"....

The guantlet blades can stay green (like the concept art) but his standard saber should indeed be blue or yellow. It would be awesome to be able to display Plo charging into battle with a green double-bladed gauntlet on one hand and a blue single blade in the other!

Nah let's not do that we need him to MC SDCC next year.

THANK YOU!

It was great!

Hmmmm, now that you mention it, taking him out before SDCC might be a good thing... or at least giving him a horrible case of laryngitis (you didn't have to stand under that speaker for 10 hours a day )

That's true. That might mean though you have to do it.

Re: Outfit - Posted on other Plo thread

You're right, he should have a blue saber.

I believe that the outer robe is pretty nicely accurate. It just needs a little futzing and could probably be darker.

In fact, unless the flash from these pics are making everything look too light it appears that all of his clothes (robes, tunic, undershirt, etc) could stand to be a few shades darker. I just whipped up a quick comparison pic:

Dusty, thanks for making the pre-order run smoothly there. I wondered if there would be time-out issues, but good thing everything worked out perfect.

 

[rainman]

So Dusty any chance the saber could be changed to blue

and the tunic and pants color changed?

Thanks, I'll pass it along to the entire Web Team! Glad there were no issues. You should see the stress around here before each PPO - it's like being in the locker room before the Big Game... Are we gonna get through it alive? Will the server crash? Will the phone system hold up? .... PPO's are definitely an 'event'!

 

[Memnoch]

Well Dusty, I can say that on my home network it would take me sometimes a half hour to get my order in. I was worried that being on a school network with very restricted acess during the day id be SOL. Thankfully you guys did some server magic and this was my fastest preorder on a much slower network.

Congratulations on getting this resolved SSC, now we can move on!

Well, the last several PPO's have all gone great so you guys are doing fantastic! I just hope you guys aren't using performance enhancing drugs.
