Title: Tonnika Sisters Reference Thread
Post by: CHEWIE on October 19, 2005, 05:21 PM
Just wondering how many people here have made versions of these ladies?  I've always wanted to, but never have... I kind of had a feeling they would show up on a 2006 figure list, but looks like they're not making them this year either.

I saw these ones that a guy named Doug Cottrell made... wow!  I think I might try and make these chicks using his pic for reference.

Thoughts?

Those are on my vintage to-do list. I'm trying to reconstruct Mos Eisley entirely in vintage.

I think that would be a nice group project actually.

That's a good idea. We'll have to talk about a new group project. Probably make it exclusively here.

Just here?  Sounds ok by me.  I know I'm in, Phruby and Glassman are in... anyone else?  Maybe start on it in November, and make it due by end of December?

I've always been strangely kind of freaked out by these two.  They just flat out give me the boo boo heebie geebies.  They give me the creeps.

We could always do one sister here and one at FFURG.

Post by: CHEWIE on October 20, 2005, 05:38 PM
Well, if I make one, I'm gonna do both!

How about this - Tonnika Sisters here...

And Gella Twins for ffurg?

Can you sumbit vintage style figures to the Group Project? If so, I'll probably enter. I'll just change the twins to the top of the to-do list.
Title: Re: Tonnika Sisters
Post by: CHEWIE on October 20, 2005, 06:03 PM
Yep, you can submit any form you choose.  Modern, vintate, 12" figures, LEGO, etc.  We're a very nice crowd.   ;)

Post by: Glassman6 on October 21, 2005, 11:59 AM
I think we should keep the sisters together...

If you do them both it wont make much sense to post one here and the other there(even though we post both places)

I think we should do them as a set here.

Actually, I remember hearing something about why the sisters were never made by Hasbro. Wasn't it that some other company has the rights or something?
Title: Re: Tonnika Sisters
Post by: CHEWIE on October 21, 2005, 03:57 PM
They never signed something for their likeness to appear as figures, or something like that (or so the rumor says).

 :P

Post by: Quazar on October 21, 2005, 03:58 PM
Wasn't there also a rumor that they were finally going to come out as figures this year?  And that the actresses had finally signed a release?
Title: Anyone up for a new group project?
Post by: Phrubruh on November 17, 2005, 01:23 PM
Is anyone up for a new group project? I think we talked about doing the Tonnka Sisters. How about a deadline of just before Christmas say Dec 20th? Any other ideas?
Title: Re: Anyone up for a new group project?
Post by: magillafett on November 17, 2005, 01:40 PM
If it's the sisters, I'll probably give it a try... that is, if I can find 2 Bespin Leias. :P
Title: Re: Anyone up for a new group project?
Post by: Glassman6 on November 17, 2005, 03:30 PM
How about just after...say the 27th...that way if people are taking time off, they could get something done.
Alot of sudents have finals that week of the 20th,
christmas parties etc... could keep alot of people from participating.

Remember santa chewie? I think just you and i fishished it.

Just my $0.02.

So you are think late December is better?
Title: Re: Anyone up for a new group project?
Post by: CHEWIE on November 17, 2005, 04:43 PM
I think it's a good idea, but if it's gonna end near the end of the month of December, why not make it Dec. 31st as the deadline?  That would officially make it the final wrap up project for 2005.

 :P

Post by: Phrubruh on November 17, 2005, 05:16 PM
That's fine. Might was well make it to the end of the year. Are the T Sisters ok for the subject or is there something else everybody is been dying to make?
Title: Re: Anyone up for a new group project?
Post by: CHEWIE on November 17, 2005, 05:29 PM
I think the Tonnika Sisters are good.

And I'm glad you brought this up, we need to get some more chatter going on around here again.

Chatter-chatter

I'm still behind on the custom challenges.  :(  Oh well, the T sisters sound challenging.

Smarty, I think what you are describing is a good description of the Monthly Custiomizing Challenge actually.

The Tonnika Sisters are the ladies from the Cantina -

That's the difference between Phruby and CHEWIE's challenges. With CHEWIE's we all do something unique and fan-fiction but they are all in a similar category. Phruby's challenges almost always have us all do the same character so that we can all see everyones unique interpretations of that particular character.

My vote is for Tonika Sisters as well but with as busy as I've been lately It will be hard for me to participate. I think I can find some time over break though.

I've seen alot of Tonnika Sisters done over the years and everyone of them has been unique and shows off the customizier's skills and personality. I've never seen two customizers make the exact same figure. That is why the GP is kind of fun, its a way to discuss techniques and come up with solutions to problems that we all face at the same time. Basically we work together to help each other come up with the same result. It's a learning project.

I grouped a bunch of the older Tonnika related posts together as I thought it might make a good reference thread for the current challenge...  ;)
