Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Best and Worst of 2004
« on: December 11, 2004, 01:51 AM »
Best VOTC: Stormtrooper. The ultimate army builder, an insane amounts of articulation lead to a great number of poses and a top notch sculpt. Runner-Up: Han Solo - could have been better if the vest was a seperate piece

Best Standard Figure (Saga/OTC): Jedi Luke Skywalker. Though the arm articulation was a bit silly, the overall sculpt and detailing on this figure was great and it is definitely a fun figure to play with. Runner-Up: R2-D2 (Jabba's Skiff) - best R2 unit yet, just need to fill in the hole in the top of his head.

Worst VOTC: Ben Kenobi. Would have said C-3PO but I still don't have it. Ben has a nice looking sculpt to it, but the size of the cloth robe caused the body and arms to be oddly sculpted proportion wise and takes away from an all around good idea. Runner-Up: Luke Skywalker - short neck and ugly tunic

Worst Standard Figure (Saga/OTC): Hoth Rebel Soldier. What a crappy army builder, he's so short and ugly looking, he's almost POTF2 like in design. And what crappy articulation. Just a bad execution of what might have been a good idea. Runner-Up: R2-D2 (Dagobah) - overall this year hasn't been too bad for the standard figure, but re-using the F/X R2 sculpt/idea for the 3rd time now is not a great thing. Poor sculpt for an R2 coming off the great BaR2-D2 and bad paint apps.

Bloody hell! He got pub by the AP in major newspapers, as I saw a small blurb in the Chicago Sun-Times today. The mullet knows no bounds and continues its growth! :)

DSJ: I think I remember that episode now, the kids followed Spielberg into the desert right?

Last night's episode wasn't too bad, wasn't overly funny though either. Did get a kick out of Cartman falling off the roof though. Speaking of unused characters, what happened to Officer Barbrady? I've not seen him in a long time, now when they need cops they use those detective guys.

well that;s just ****** up. Damageplan was supposed to be here in Chicago for a big show tomorrow, I'm surprised i didn't hear anything about this on the local radio. ****** psycho pulling crap like that, i'm surprised he was able to get into the club, let alone on stage carrying a gun. a sad loss to the metal world with the death of Dimebag.

Vintage Kenner / Re: hi-res scan of Desert Sail Skiff box
« on: December 9, 2004, 07:18 PM »
yeah these seem very difficult to find, I wouldn't have thought so, but it sure is. if i can just find a big scan of the box, even if it isnt in the best shape, i can run it thru paint shop pro to clean it up. the quest continues.....

Vintage Kenner / hi-res scan of Desert Sail Skiff box
« on: December 8, 2004, 11:26 PM »
Hi All,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a site which has hi-res scans of any of the vintage boxes, specifically the Desert Sail Skiff. That mini-rig is one of my all time fave toys and I've been wanting to find a hi-res (minimum of 1024x768) scan of the full back as shown in the pic below:



I think a crisp clean scan of that would make a great wallpaper for my pc's desktop, and I'm surprised I've not come across a site which has scans of vintage packaging just for that purpose. Anyone happen to know of such a site?

Thanks!

* A Kenny Wayne Shepherd poster I snatched from a show from the House of Blues

My wife loves that guy's music.  How was the show Jason?  Dude's like 20, but has been playing like he was B.B. freakin' King for years...  Talented mofo.

Matt: Kenny's indeed a talented mofo, the boy sure knows how to play a mean guitar. I've seen him twice (was hoping to catch him next week as well, but that aint happening) and it's been some great stuff. It's almost as if Stevie Ray Vaughn was still alive. He's got a new CD out, it's a bit of a new direction from his blues background, but still good stuff, would make a great stocking stuffer for the Mrs. :)

Now all of those who fought with him over the Tantive IV are going to come back in Force to stop him again. Get it Force? Hah I crack myself up!  :P

Letsee, I've got a couple of posters hanging up in my room most notably....

The ROTJ Special Edition "error" Version D theathrical poster with wrong release date:



and the Episode 1 teaser  poster that the Fan Club sold oh those many years ago:



Among other posters hanging or rolled up somewhere are:
* A poster for the the final VHS release of the OT prior to the SE coming out
* A Kenny Wayne Shepherd poster I snatched from a show from the House of Blues
* A Local H poster I got free with a shirt at a show
* An old poster I've had since a kid of former White Sox catcher Carlton Fisk
* One of those weird posters made of tiny images that from far back make up a bigger picture, the tiny pictures are scenes from the OT while the bigger picture is Vader's head.
* A posters for the SNES release of Super ESB, it's being used as shelving paper for a really beat up shelf I have, though it's not in use currently
* A poster from Chevrolet featuring Michael Jordan and Muhammed Ali
* A poster of former WWF Diva Sunny, back when she was a mega babe

I think that about does it.

Me personally, I want to see the George Lucas parody episode where he screws with Raiders of the Lost Arc... ;)

I saw that episode, I was on the floor.

I so don't remember that episode, what season was that?

I've been a fan of South Park since the beginning when it was truly just crude (the art not the language :P). I remember searching all over for the Xmas card that started it all and then being bummed when I was without cable for a few months and couldn't see it. I just picked up the first two seasons on dvd recently and can't wait to relive those episodes in all of their glory.

Oh and this week's episode was just great, about time something on tv shows Paris Hilton for what she truly is, a talentless and worthless skank!

And via the link DSJ provided, a South Park version of me that I made a while back....

hahaha  ;D

Well now we really do know what would happen if such a post was made on Scum, I'm guessing LJ had a hand in it closing? Funny how she's utilizing her mod abilities to watch over a specific group of peoples, I wonder if that's her role at the scum now, "JD Watcher". Diddly I do hope though, you credited Morgbug, cause dude plagerism is just wrong!  ;)

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: What was the first album you remember buying?
« on: December 5, 2004, 12:59 AM »
In my lifetime, I've only bought one vinyl, it was the 45rpm single of.... The Chicago Bears doing the Super Bowl Shuffle.

The first album I ever bought , via CD would be AC/DC's Live.

So now the question becomes, do you keep the tendrils in, or do you attempt to fill the holes with sculpey and try to match the paintjob.

Easy.  You do both!   ;)

But yeah, I definitely prefer the movie accurate version myself, so I'm gonna have to figure out a way to do the sculpey/paint thing.  Maybe I'll beg Jess to fix one of 'em up for me like that.

Jesse, whatchya think buddy?  Capable?  Willing?   :-*

Yeah I'm leaning towards fixing the holes myself, the tendrils are just going to look odd in the cantina when he's not attacking anyone.

Jesse capable of doing it? yes no doubt. Jesse capable of finishing it? committee's out on that  ;D I've known Jesse for many a year now and in all that time I can't recall him ever mentioning that he finished a custom. That's his MO, I think he has business cards that say Customizing Procrastinator :) Then again I'm beginning to become one myself, he's having a bad influence on me :P

Oh man Jerriko is totally screwed up! I like the idea of wanting to add the nose tendril thingies to him, but not at the expense of what looks like a pretty interesting face sculpt. So now the question becomes, do you keep the tendrils in, or do you attempt to fill the holes with sculpey and try to match the paintjob.
