I like all those figs in the TRU set.. I think they look great. Even Wicket looks cool in his orange hood and chocolate brown fur  :D

So, with this set, Luke finally pulls even with Han...

1. Han Solo
2. Han Solo (in Carbonite Block)
3. Han Solo (Hibernation Sickness)
4. Han Solo (Bespin Outfit)
5. Han Solo (Hoth Gear)
6. Han Solo (Stormtrooper Gear)
7. Han Solo (Endor)

1. Luke Skywalker (Blonde Hair) - carded
2. Luke Skywalker (Brown Hair)
3. Luke Skywalker (Endor)
4. Luke Skywalker (Bespin Gear)
5. Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper Gear)
6. Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)
7. Luke Skywalker (Ceremonial)

Dang, it's amazing that there are 68 different Star Wars Kubrick (counting the carded/chase variations - 69 if you count Dr. Jones as "Star Wars").

I believe the 100% Star Wars Kubricks are currently at 71 different figures. Counting the Cantina Member with different instruments and the Vintage Fett on the Card.

Yes, 71 Kuby's are the number if you include Indy but if you go 100% Star Wars related Kubricks, there are 70.  ;)

goddamnit.... a Droids R2-D2 went for $66 last night and a carded "Farm Boy" Luke went for something like $36 on ebay :o :o

sooo pissed at myself for flaking out and not bidding on those auctions.. they might have sold for a lot higher amount if I did though.  :-\

Waffen,

I won the Droids R2 so I could uncard it to scan for the C-3PO Droids Kustom Karded Kubrick.  Sorry about that!

Waffen,

...

I'm a little speachless. On the one hand I think that's awesome.
On the other I think its a crime!  :P

oh wells.. wanna make $10 or $20 on it and sell it to me when you get it? that'll put your customizing on hold for a little while but you'd have a couple extra bucks in your pocket and the toy would be guaranteed to remain MOC until the end of time as far as I'm concerned..
there has to be some way around removing the bubble in order to get the cardback artwork for your custom C-3PO.. I've been a professional graphic designer for about 5 years now and do that kind of stuff in my sleep everyday at work... but its a tough challenge to scan the card without making it flat by removing the bubble.
but actually- did the vintage Droids C-3PO share the same artwork as the vintage Droids R2-D2?? if they had different artwork then what your doing would actually not be historically correct. I'm pretty sure they shared the same art but I can't be  100% positive. if they didn't SPARE the Kubrick C-3PO and if you're up to it create your own artwork in Illustrator based on the vintage cardback artwork only "Kubricised" in the style Medicom does so well  ;D

No.  The artwork on the Droids 3PO card was different from the R2 card...

R2:


C-3PO:



I was watching that Carded R2-D2 too and unfortunately couldn't be around when it closed.   >:(

Oh well, there will be more someday...  :'(
