I wonder how many would want a UNMASKED O.T Gang with ANTHONY 3PO, Kenny, r2 , Peter Chewy , Jeremy BOBA and Dave Vader just idea alway's kicked around and Warrick Ewok wicket as EXCLUSIVE xtra Heads ? I know it's a funny idea but a good nod to ALL those under the costume's.

 

[Kamandi]

That would be awesome. Then we could see Kenny Baker and Anthony Daniels hate each other.

 

[highlander1]

Ha ha might as well throw in A LUCAS exclusive Stormtrooper too.

Bandai. They are 1/12 model kits.

Personally I'm only into the movie magic idea of these characters, so I hate the idea. Also, at $200+ per figure, I can't imagine many would be interested.

I was saying as extra headsculpts with the regular release's so heads can stay in box or pass on them if were exclusive's just a fun nod to the actor's.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Nah, would still drive up the prices. In my mind, there were no actors, highlander.

All good just a idea alway's thought about. Since there are ton 's of figure's of them all, but no exclusive headsculpts of these unsung hero's that brought us this Magic n Galaxy life to all these character's. Still if any would love a Lucas Stormtrooper if anything sometime.

 

[highlander1]

I know and highly doubt hot toys would ever do a Lucas Headsculpt release after buying the starwars copywrights for million's. Then ever release a Lucas figure and pay him any more cash. It's likely a mickey trooper if anything lol. Anyway back to this miserable golden rod.

While an interesting idea on the actor headsculpts, I'd never buy into it myself. I like the characters for what they looked like in the movie. Seeing the actors spoils what I really loved about the movies, which is the characters in the movie. I remember some Godzilla toys I saw a while back where it was a rubber suit with a human figure inside of it. I've seen a few different versions in different sizes. I always thought it was a cool idea, but at the same time I probably would just display it as the Godzilla figure and not show the human inside. That is unless I had a massive collection of Godzillas and it didn't matter if I had another normal looking version of him. So I figured it was pointless to spend the money on that figure with the human when there were so many other cooler looking Godzilla figures out there.

Not sure if I should just stick it out a couple more months and hope for the best with this version of 3PO or if I should just grab the Tamashii version from Amazon. Right now he's listed for $360 which is a lot but I feel like it'll be a better figure. Of course the final Sideshow figure isn't out so maybe it'll change my mind and I do like some aspects of it (mainly the more weathered look and the broken arm, despite not having a damaged arm to go with the damaged shoulder socket).

Yeah it's the better looking figure, but unfortunately $360 is more than I ever want to spend on a 3PO, so if the final Sideshow version doesn't turn out good I'm just going to have to move on and focus on other characters.

 

[Mike86]

I'm getting a 3PO no matter what. He's essential for me for a Star Wars collection and while the price of the Tamashii is high if that's what I have to pay to get it I will. The problem for me is of the two Sideshow figures I have I'm not overly impressed with either and their 3PO to me so far just doesn't look that great especially when it's compared to the Tamashii version.

You can find those Lucas head sculpts pretty easily. They are pretty bad though. Strangely enough I'd actually like an early 1977 era Lucas headsculpt if anyone were going to make one. Hmmm... maybe one for the Interest threads in the custom section...

What for 2500 i get a Lucas scribble if its even real. Autographs should mean something like proof you met them in your life nothing more.

 

[highlander1]

Cool Sean Spacecrawler thanks i just liked the idea because its a nostalgia thing from back in the day with 3/4 inch figs and i remember stormtrooper lucas was a exclusive i think. When we had to save proofs from cardbacks to send away for a figure GI JOE did this a lot.
