Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[jye4ever]

Like a-dev no photos of me with SW or Shogun Warriors or any toys for that matter from when I was a kid but here are 2 of my son.

He loves his Death Star!



I still can't figure out how to get his Star Destroyer into the house, help!

Khev will appreciate these:

Pretty much sums up the "sameness" of TFA. At least Johnson won't be playing it safe.

They weren't that uncommon in the U.S., but it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now of course, with everyone having a video camera on their cellphone.

Back in the day, my parents would record a school performance and then make VHS copies for the other parents. Now, when I go to my daughter's performances (one tomorrow), about 50 parents are huddling around, recording it with their cameras. It's actually pretty comical.

I have two professional video cameras (or prosumer) that I use for my work, each cost about $7,000.00 new, I'm ashamed to admit that when I shoot video of my family, that I almost always use my smartphone.

I've got a little $130 handheld HD camera, but it's great for my purposes.

Hope it didn't sound like bragging, I bought them for my business, which is why I rarely use them for family stuff. If it breaks, I'm screwed, but I think I might have to start using them for family anyway.

Oh no, not at all. I was just also saying that I don't have anything too fancy, but I think it's totally sufficient. You can get a lot of bang for your buck nowadays.

Absolutely! There is some great high quality gear for a fraction of what it cost just 6 or 7 years ago.

Nice.

These are great! Is the Han and Chewie one available as a print?

 

[rushmore223]

While I like the concept, when I look at it I don't see a kid, I see Peter Dinklage.

 

[jye4ever]

I see a young Robin/Nightwing.

Unfortunately, it's long Sold Out. The artist (Craig Davison) is based in the UK and has been doing these awesome things for years. Here are some more:
















And he has LOTS more like that. Just do a Google search for "Craig Davison art" and you'll have your childhood hit right in the feals.

He doesn't do a great job attaching kids to characters though, they look like Frodo and Sam.

 

[IrishJedi]

Maybe he just grew up around a bunch of ugly kids.

The kid pretending to be Thor looks like Mark Hamill in ROTJ.

 

[karamazov80]

I see a young Robin/Nightwing.

He's got a gun. So, WB/DC Robin I guess.
