Who's gonna buy PLO KOON?

[tomandshell]

Thanks for the hi res version of the pic Tom! When was that pic taken? I'm shocked that Harrison Ford is in it. I thought he hated Star Wars, considering how he never wants to talk about it during interviews.

I believe that it was a Photoshop effort, with elements taken over the course of several different shoots and then composited together since they couldn't actually get every single person in the same place at once. (Jar-Jar was shooting a movie.) It was a special fold out cover to celebrate the release of Episode III. But yes, Harrison was in it and he almost looks like he's in a good mood. I doubt you will ever see Han, Luke and Leia together like that again. Oh, and Chewie. And Lando. And Shmi, sitting down there looking like Dooku's kept woman. Just check out the look on his face--no need to ask, he's a smooth operator. He's gonna give Billy Dee a run for his money as far as the ladies are concerned...

Well, at least at this rate we'll RUN OUT of Jedi they can make eventually...

Seriously though, Sideshow is reaching my limits on how many Jedi I want/need. Koon was on the list, but really at this point the only ones left that I'd get are Ki Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura.

I like Plo Koon a lot though(at least design-wise). Interesting face and hand designs.

I hope they give him a yellow saber.

 

[Batty]

I will be getting every SW figure Sideshow makes.

I couldn't agree more.

 

[nash]

im for sure to get every Jedi they make, also sith.

 

[darth dypshyt]

AAhhh....NO.:emperor

 

[2000man]

I passed on Kit and will pass on Plo

 

[gambit]

im for sure to get every Jedi they make, also sith.

the point is:
there is not so many sith around but there are numerous jedis

 

[88th division]

I will get any 12 inch figure they make. For me it is a must have situation.

I will of course be buying Plo because I buy everything. I just hope I dont have class when he goes up for sale. Im wouldnt mind if it was next week but would rather it be the week after. I really dont want to miss the exclusive version of course and I dont think he will be inclusive.

He better have a 2500 edition size though so this want turn into a Kit Fisto situation where hes sold out in 24 minutes. That would suck. As long as he lasts an hour everythings good.

 

[rainman]

Kit was a background character? I know he had some lines. Remember when he screamed like a girl when he was killed? Good stuff.

Seriously, Kit was a background character and the fourth one they put up for pre-order. Also he has been the most praised Star Wars Sideshow figure yet. Also, I believe his exclusive has the record for selling out the fastest.

Non-human characters are way easier to sculpt. It makes sense that they would do more of those. Also they limited themselves by saying they wouldn't do characters that have already been done in PF and by not doing armored characters right away.

In addition, they are not going to do repeats right away either. They have already given us versions of almost all the major Jedi as well as major characters. We have Luke, Han, Leia, Obi-Wan and Anakin.

There's a lot they can't do because of limitations. Either there is going to have to be a long break between figures or they are going to give us more minor characters until they can figure out how to do some of the more complicated ones. It makes financial sense on Sideshow's part to keep giving us more stuff to buy while they figure out how to do the complicated body types.

Hmmm... I'm not sure yet?

I'm not that exited about this guy, I may pre-order him and cancel him later if I decide I don't want him...

It's hard to tell, I wasn't all that crazy about "Kit" when he was first announced but I ordered him anyway with the same intention. As the months passed I started to like him more and more, I never did cancel him and now I'm really glad to have him!

So, who knows?

[Darth Rage]

Tough call for me too. Great looking charactor, but not one I consider essential to my collection. I had planned on being a completionist with this line, but now reality is setting in for me and I am getting pickier as these announcements are made. I probably would have passed on Kit if he was announced now as opposed to when he was originally, but I am glad I didn't after seeing all the pics of him with Mace. What to do......

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I buy them all!

But yes, how many Jedi do we need? Yoda for sure, but no Ki-Adi-Mundi! I never liked the way he looked.

 

[KitFisto]

A big YES for me.

 

[Darth Madden]

I'm sick of Jedi and of PT characters so I will not be buying him. At least I get to save the $60 and put it towards Jabba though so its good in a way.

 

[shaun-o]

I'm in. The more Jedi the better!

 

[galactiboy]

I voted know... but really its a pretty sure no. I passed on Kit and after some long soul-searching after he came out I decided I really made the right decision (in terms of my own SW collection). I think that Plo will end up the same camp... I like him more than Fisto, but he is still a pretty minor character to me.

 

[NSFolsom]

AAhhh....YES. :chew

Maybe he'll come with a Jedi Starfighter!

 

[William Shatners Toupee]

Buying Plo Koon is illegal in all states but Nevada.
