I can't catch boobies without getting into trouble in any country.

Isn't England in Ohio?

There's Toronto Ohio, but I don't know about England.  Or India...  Ironically there's an Indiana Pennsylvania (near me) where the one chap at GalacticHunter lives near...  Home of Jimmy Stewart.

I'll try to maintain the honor and integrity that the name demands.

Once you know Matt (the Original), you'll see how bloody funny that was. 

ZING!

Yeah Matt's always had good luck when he had a heavy commute as I recall, I'm sure he can relay any further data, but the JediMAC always did well compared to what I was finding, haha.  And I know Slothus has great luck out that direction...  And Rob just boggles my mind.  I wish I could have found half the army builders he has.

I'm still sorta desperate for VOTC Stormtroopers and it kills me not having more than one Wookiee Heavy Gunner. T hat figure kicks so much ass I want at least 5 but I found one and one only.  And that sucks ass, to put it quite simple.

VOTC Stormies I found, but never in the numbers that I can say I passed on them.  And I got a number through trades too.  I found probably 20 on my own though, maybe slightly less like 15, and most at full price.  That was great to me at the time but I hear some people found dozens and some at as low as $3 each...  I'm just astonished and wish I had had such good fortune.  It's a figure I'd still be buying if I saw it.

I got my first Saga figure tonight.  Good old Lobster Bib Fortuna...

Sculpt, fantastic...  Paintjob's pretty great too, I don't see much complaint there that I've been reading...

I do now see what people meant about the articulation though, and to say it's overly critical is not something I agree with.  To me, Hasbro could have definitely done this figure's arm articulation justice by making the shoulders swivel.  I think, had I designed him, the first fold on the back of each arm would have been slit, as would have the first fold on the front, and the plastic would have been a more flexible PVC.  This would have allowed a shoulder joint under the robe, and for the arms to pose forward and back.  This would have made the figure more passable...  As he stands though, you're basically getting one solid piece of plastic that is sculpted nicely but lacks as a toy which it ultimately is at the end of the day.

I'm not a fan of the gaping jaw sorta "duh" look on his face too...  It's not horrible though and I think pictures make it look worse than it is.  The belt knife bit is great...  Fantastic little detail.

And yeah his neck nads are weird...  Not sure they were so pronounced but whatever.

Great paintjob IMO, even on the head/face.  I see lots of layers, lots of fading/color changes.  That's a lot of work really.

I have to say I'm not really upset, but I do think Hasbro's capable of more creative thinking to make a figure poseable that's limited by such robes.  It's all about expecting more though for your $.

I'm actually not into the animated figures...  For my $ I'm more a fan of realistic figure sculpts than the animated style irregardless of how true to the toon the figures are.  Not to be a downer to those who do like them though of course.  I just am more a fan of the 3.75" line and it having a unified look.

The animated line, kinda like all the other sub-lines at this point, I feel are just a negative impact on the basic/ultra lines that focus on the 3.75" figures.

For my money, realistic sculpts of the CW Toon figures would be graet.  Not the CW line figs, but more along the lines of actually looking as the characters did in the cartoons, but with a realistic sculpt.  That I would be all in favor for.  They'd fit iin as part of the basic line then to me.

The animated figs are cool in a way but just not something I'd want to see more of at this point.  Actually, after the 5 pack that had Ani and Assajj in it, I was really hoping more (and better) figures were on the way.  Those were really lame attempts but had glimmers of hope in them.

Jesse got me some clothing items that I took FOREVER to pay him for.  I appreciated his help though and he shipped them LONG before I even paid him.  Great guy, very trustworthy.

I wonder if it was a very green couple of days in England and India?  Or Ohio for that matter.

Hey Rebel Girl, what's round on the ends and hi in the middle?
