Tuskin and Tarkin Tuesdays @ SideShow

[pixletwin]

Aren't you sick or something?

Yes early stages of pre-pneumonia.

 

[MaulFan]

I just noticed McDiarmid in Sleepy Hollow a few weeks ago.

Ya, there were 3 Star Wars alums in that movie, McDiarmid, Ray Park played the horseman when he wasn't riding, and Christopher Lee was a judge in the opening of the film.

 

[MaulFan]

I wish there were a good Keira Knightly head sculpt that was affordable enough to make a Padme handmaiden.

Sorry, I was just thinking about head sculpts I want and Keira is more appealing to me than old guys.

Keep an eye on eBay for someone to sell the Elizabeth Swann head loose.

 

[Batty]

Yes early stages of pre-pneumonia.

Can I have your stuff when you die? And I mean the good stuff, not the crappy stuff.



And yes, I would love to have either Tarkin or a Tusken next.

Or Lando or Greedo or Vader or a Stormtrooper or droids. Just keep 'em coming. :chew

Carefull Batty, if you strike him down he shall become more powerful than we can possibly imagine.

 

[JustinLuck]

MaulFan, I think Sideshow could still do the neck detail on the new bodies. They just need to sculpt the head and neck separate. Trevor could just sculpt the skin detail on top of a template neck. Am I right Trev?????

 

[Memnoch]

Or just got with an adapter, like Hot Toys has. Best of both worlds.

Wait a minute. Did I miss something? Was Keira in Star Wars as a handmaiden?

She was the decoy in TPM.

She was the decoy in TPM.

Really? I'll have to watch that part over. Guess I didn't recognize her.

Yes please SideShow keep them coming, but can we stay with ANH for a little while longer, then off to all the other great figures of HOTH. :chew

Luke looks great, but he needs some Tuskins.

 

[Seretur]

I still don't know who Admiral Praji is supposed to be.

Now he's joined by these mysterious "tuskins"...

Who can't be related to tuskens, not on a maximum-OCD board such as this.

Not a bad idea at all.

I'd rank Old Ben, Tarkin, Sidious and Palpatine to have the most interesting portraits in all of Star Wars. I guess the older dudes just have more character to them. So far, we've got 2 out of 4 covered, hope to see one of the others this year.

Don't forget Sebastian Shaw - isn't he truly the older dude sculpt we're pining for from SS? And I don't mean the spectral jedi version, either - I'm talking about the bald, leather and iron clad version . . .

I think you mean we've got 3 out of 4 covered...

Grand Moff would be an excellent addition to the line-- but I don't think we'll see him released until Vader is ready. If Tarkin we're released it'd set the Freaks into a frenzy for Vader as they're practically attached at the hip for the entire ANH (except for when Vader goes skeet shooting in his tie).

Whenever he is released I'm sure the sculpt will nail him.

Well, for me, Shaw under Vader's helmet is actually more about the wounds, I really liked getting figures of it to take in all the detail to his scarring you didn't really see in Jedi. Shaw's portrait isn't as interesting to me though as the guys I listed off.

 

[Anzik]

Not a bad idea at all.

The Hasbro Handmaiden outfit would probably work great on this too.

 

[jedibear]

Well, there's potential there, but Dooku never had the screen time really to make a mark on the audience like the others. A lot of his performance was in dialogue, but Cushing as Tarkin used a lot of facial expression conveying internal thinking and his feelings, and McDiarmid is just one of the finer actors I've ever watched, and sooo much of his performance is in his face. I wish we'd seen more out of Lee as Dooku, I think he's a good actor too.

Check out some of Lee's old Hammer films...they are campy fun and he's great!
And I was speaking of him as great potential for a figure...the Hasbro one was one of their best, but the thought of Trevor or Oluf taking on that sculpt, along with the great tailoring Sideshow would do for his elegant outfit as well as a finely crafted saber hilt and...I think we'd end up with a great figure.

I just hope the Tuskin Raider comes with the rifle as well as his stick!! the Dogs would be cool too!!!!
