This is something we used to do on the Joe boards I used to be on. It was called " The Travelling Joe", and what we used to do was one of us would take one of our joes (usually a custom) take him around our home town and take pics of the figure doing different things, and visiting interesting places. Once the pics were posted we would then proceed to send the figure to the next person and they would do the same. I would like to know if anyone would like to participate in this. If so post your names here. If there are enough people interested, well do it.Ill start with one of my figs.
-
I'm in - CHEWIE. Could I donate a custom Rykrof or Freelo figure?
:P
-
Sure, I'd be game to play along
-
That's a neat idea. I want to play. How about a traveling Yoda?
-
would the fig travel overseas ?
-
HE would travel whereever the next person lived. Personally I'd love to see him having fun in all parts of the world. Theres been a good enough response to this so lets do it. Hopefully when everyone else sees a couple of the pics others will want to host him. Since Chewie was first Ill send it to him after I finish with my tour around town. I still have to put a few touches on the custom Im making for the trip. Ill reveal him to everyone after Im done which should be another day or so, then Ill take him around town. I think this is going to be fun. ;D
-
So... is it going to be a Stars figure, or a Joe figure?
:P
-
I hope its a star wars figure. ;)
-
Don't worry Phruby it will be. ;D :P
-
When do you think it will be done? Will it be a fan fic character, or a redo of an existing character? Have you already decided on who it will be?
Maybe it could be a "travel trooper" - a clone/stormtrooper w/ a tourist camera and a suitcase? ;)
:P

:P
Maybe he should have a suitcase, or at least come packed in one. Each customized can add a travel bumper sticker to it!
-
That's funny too, a travel bumper sticker. ;)
:P
-
Yes, I have seen this thing before with 12" dolls on the Men with Dolls forum on Ezboard: Bouncing Betty and Jaunting Jet (http://p223.ezboard.com/fmenwithdollsfrm13"). Each person who "hosted" the doll took her around to various places in town and shared photos with everyone, and then added some small accessory or item of clothing to her "suitcase" when it was time to send her on to the next host (similar to the sticker idea suggested by BrentS -- either would work well).
It's a very cool idea, and it would be great fun to do it with SW figures -- count me in, too! Do you know which figure you're going to use, Ennis?
... the Findswoman
-
Well I I like the idea of the travel case any suggestions on what to use. As far as the fig goes Ill have it posted on Tuesday, and possibly take my " Tour Photos" Monday. The reference is pretty obscure but once I saw it I just had to make it. BTW Chewie I will need your addy youre first on the list. I also like the Idea of everyone adding a little something to the box.
-
Is the figure coming with a list of people to cross off? I guess we should just email the next person of the list for their address once we get the figure.
Who is on the list?
-
This reminds me of this site: http://www.itsalladream.com/jeanluc.html
The site also has some amusing action figure photocomics.
-
I'm in. I'll take him to some clubs in LA. ;D
-DD
-
Well I now dub this thread The Brotherhood (and Sisterhood :)) of the Travelling Pimp Daddy Kenobi. I saw this issue of the original Marvel Star Wars comic in the $1 bin at my local comic shop. The minute I saw this I had to make him......
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Star%20Wars%20Customs%20Customs/Clone%20Wars/starwars24.jpg)
And here he is In all his Pimpin Purple groovy 70's glory...
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Star%20Wars%20Customs%20Customs/Clone%20Wars/pimpdaddykenobi.jpg)
As we all know old Ben was a bit of a boozer and a party animal in his youth. With these groovy treads, and that mack daddy goatee Im pretty sure that he was the life of the party on more than one occasion. He kniows how to have a good time, and he will come to expect it from his host. So take him around the places you go to have fun.
Since I now live in a dry county, there are no bars or nightclubs that I can take him to, so I will be forced to take him to the tourist traps around here in Tennessee. So he is more than looking forward to going elsewhere. :-\
This custom wasnt very hard. He is a VOTC Ben Kenobi boiled in purple RIT dye.
You will of course have to pop his head and hands off to do it but it took to the dye very well. It did take the better part of a 24 hrs for the dye to 'bleed off" in water, but that just assures that you wont have purple hands when handling the fig. Due to very incliment weather I havent been able to take him around town but I hope to be able to do that tomorrow, and have my pics up by weeks end at the latest, and then hes off to Chewie's house for more fun and adventure.
Then he will then be sent to BrentS and Master_Phruby and so on down the list of of posts in the order of appaearance.
I hope everyone enjoys this, and most of all just have fun. ;)
-
...Since I now live in a dry county...
In more ways than one. ;)
Wow! That is a cool figure. I'm impressed that you dyed the cloth to match. I have a few places in mind for obiwan to visit including the happiest place on earth.
-
So, has obiwan started his adventures?
-
As a matter of fact he has. Hopefully Ill get the pics up this weekend sometime. Miserable weather kept me from doing much of anything up until Tuesday, but I took him around and showed him some sights. So stay tuned. ;D
-
Finally I have the time to post my pics. I know its been a long time coming and I appreciate everyones patience. So without firther adoo... I present to you the first Pics of the Travelling Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi. ;D
Since just about everything here in Sevierville/ Pigeon Forge Tennessee closes down during the month of January, I decided to take old Ben to Gatlinberg.
The first stop on our journey was the Gatlinberg welcome center, where he decided he wanted to take a picture in front of the floral arrangement outside.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/gberg1.jpg)
He then decided that I should be in the picture as well, this was not an easy task so I abandoned the idea after this picture.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/gberg2.jpg)
After hopping the trolley it deposited us on the steps of the Ripleys Aquarium of the Smokies.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/aquarium1.jpg)
As you can see from the photo he was very excited. Possibly due to the fact he lived on a desert planet for so long, he was anxious to see anything having to do with water.
He next wanted a nice panoramic shot of the him in front of the large tank before we journeyed into the aquariums dark underbelly.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/aquarium2.jpg)
There were a few more exhibits we saw befor our encounter with the large undersea tunnel with the moving sidewalk. We stopped in front of a large tank full of Pirhannas and swapped a few lawyer jokes but he was ultimately uninterested in snapping a pic there. So we stepped onto the moving walkway.
We were quickly beseiged by large sharks, but they moved so quickly that it was hard to get a decent shot. Ben quickly lit his saber to defend us but I told him that we were quite safe. This is the only shot that came out.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/shark.jpg)
Shortly after we exited the shark tunnel there was a large educational area for children. Ben was uninterested, so we continued on to the Pirate exhibit. ( My personal favorite)
They have a great 'Fact versus Fiction" segment here a la the History Channel, and lots of great hands on exhibits. The exhibit itself is more than a little inspired by " The Pirates of the Carribean" and of course ben wanted a shot with one of the skeletal Pirates. ;D
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/pirate.jpg)
The said Pirate was more than happy to oblige.
We next decided to go to the Guiness Book of World Records museum. I have to say this was not all it was cracked up to be. I expected a lot more, but thats just me. Ben however was bored to tears. As a joke he decided to pose with the wooden Noah's Ark exhibit.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/guinness.jpg)
The best exhibit was the last one.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/batcave.jpg)
The Batcave, and batmobile exhibit was great, but still wasnt worth the price of admission. Ultimately, unless youre into this sort of thing the avoid Guinness. :-\
He next spotted the actual Ripley's Beleive It or Not museum. Unfortunately photography is not allowed but it is a great place none the less. I highly reccommend it. We took this shot before going in.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/ripleys.jpg)
Next I took him to my favorite Gatlinberg attraction. Ripleys Haunted Mansion. Though the sign is in the next picture you can barely make it out. the sun was incredibly bright that day. This haunted attraction is no Disney's Haunted Mansion but its damn good none the less. Unlike disneys animatronics they utilise real "actors". But yet again they allowed no photography, which is understandable considering the special effects used. This attraction I highly reccommend.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/Darth_Ennis/Travelling%20Obi-Wan/haunted.jpg)
Never the less, I will end our little adventure with this triumphant shot. Obi Wan will be off to Chewie for his next adventure. He should be in the mail in the next couple of days. Hopefully you were entertained by our exploits, I for one am anxious to see where he goes next.
-
That was hilarious! I loved it. Very funny. I'm looking forward to continuing the adventure! I will need a day or two to take the pics, upload them and send them to the next person... who is next on the list?
:P
-
Get the figure to me in July and I will take it to Comic-Con. :P
-DD
-
BrentS is after Chewie. Then its me.
-
...Since I now live in a dry county...
In more ways than one. ;)
Too funny Phruby!!
Get me in on this guys... This should be fun.
Great pics so far Darth E.
-
To reduce the chance of Ben or his handlers getting an action-figureborne illness, make sure you wash your hands after handling beef, poultry, fish, diapers, buttwipes, cadavers, and genitalia.
-
Great update D.E. I love that aquarium in Gatlinburg. The Pirate pose is classic!
I think I'm on the list after Chewie. If I can get him before Feb 16th, I can include Obi-Wan on my family's long weekend coming up.
Did we decide to add "customized" bumper stickers to his traveling case?
-
Hey, this is off to a great start! Great stuff!
I'd be happy to join, too, but since DD is already on the list, don't know if you really need two stops in So Cal....But let me know.
-
Phruby's in So. Cal too...but I'm sure we all have different places we can take him in our grand, socialist California paradise. ;)
Besides, I really want to take him to con and try to get him a little Amy Allen lovin'.
Or me. Either one of us, really. ;D
-DD
-
Hey,
This is great stuff. You have to let me in on this with you DD.
red5
-
BTW, when I do this, I don't know how much he'll get to the great sites in St. Louis like the Arch, but I'll do what I can. At the very least he'll make it to my office. God knows I'll have fun explaining this one if I get caught. A couple of my attractive lady friends at work already laugh a bit since they know I collect this stuff.
:P
-
Hey,
This is great stuff. You have to let me in on this with you DD.
red5
You can share in the figure hijinks...but if I hooked up with Amy Allen, I ain't sharing. ;D
-DD
-
I'm glad everyone is getting a kick out of the antics of Ben and I. And Im also glad everyone is excited about getting in on their share of the fun. Hopefully by next week I will finally be internet capeable at home. So I wont have to plot these short hit and run commando raids at work and the library. I cant wait to see where Ben will travel next. I knew this would be a fun project.
-

DD,
That is ok with me i'm all over C Fisher.

Maybe old Ben can get a little loving from a Disney princess. Do you think he is into Ariel or Snow White?
-

Snow White.
-
Maybe old Ben can get a little loving from a Disney princess. Do you think he is into Ariel or Snow White?
What? He has to choose?!?!? Oh come on... this is ol' Ben "Purple Pimp Daddy" Kenobi!
-
Nah, no princess for Obi. I'm thinkin the chick from Hunch Back of ND
Count me in on the traveling wilberry Pimp Obi ;D
-
I'm looking forward to this... still haven't received it yet, but I'm sure it will be here soon.
One thing I would suggest, when sending it (use the post office) would be to get delivery confirmation, it's only 45 cents I think.
:P
-
i really like this idea Ennis, very cool and lots of fun...i can't wait to see what kind of "action" Kenobi will get as he travels around ;)
-
After much delay he is actually on his way to Chewie. Hopefully he should be there in a couple of days. Getting to the post office isn't alweays easy in this town unfortunately. I have also sent the comic book that he appeared in. I would like everyone to be able to read that piece of crap and know that SW comics weren't always good. :(
And as far as the princesses go. This is Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi, they would all have to take a number, and he would get to them all in order.
OF course as far as Amy Allen is concerned I think DD would have a fight on his hands.
-
Didn't Amy Allen play Officer Lewis in Robocop? ???
Wait... just a sec.....no? Really? Oh...
Sorry that's Nancy Allen in Robocop. :-[
Nevermind.
-
Well, Chewie has informed me that he has finally gotten the fig. :-[š Once again i apologise for the delay.
I guess in keeping with the list of volunteers itll go something like this.
Chewie
Brent S
Master Phruby
Blasterš š( provided he's still interested)
Findswoman
more names will be addedas I go through the posts. I am anxious to see what hijinx Kenobi will get the rest of you into.
-
Too bad I didn't have him yesterday at Legoland. I could have had some really funny pictures. He could have been staring up at the lifesize Darth Vader made out of legos.
-
Hey, as long as I get him by July for Comic-Con, I'm in. ;)
-DD
-
Ok, I put together a cheesy little photonovel for this. I've been swamped with other things so sorry this isn't too creative.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis1.jpg)
Cautiously Pimp Kenobi approaches the CHEWIE household, prepared for anthing that may come in his way.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis2.jpg)
Here he is greeted by Angel, who tells of the tyranny of the evil Sith in CHEWIE's collection room.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis3.jpg)
After listening carefully to Angel's warning of the evil, Pimp Kenobi sees for himself the ashes of the three dogs who have passed on in the CHEWIE household.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis4.jpg)
Being a pet lover, he immediately joins the cause for freedom!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis5.jpg)
Throughout the collection no enemy is safe!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis6.jpg)
For soon the collection will once again remember the name of Pimp Kenobi!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis7.jpg)
With the leaders of the Rebellion on his side...
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis8.jpg)
Pimp Kenobi brings down the Empire!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis9.jpg)
"Thank you," Angel says. "I'm a straight cool playa," Obi Wan replies.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis10.jpg)
"And my journey has just begun..."
:P
-
Aah, such a sweet puppy.
-
I think I'm next up. You guys are setting a high standard of excellence. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with Pimp Daddy, but I hope that he can hook up with some ladies...
-
Oh my God, I think I pissed myself laughing. That was great Chewie.
-
Thanks guys glad you liked it. And thanks Ennis for this idea, it was a lot of fun.
Brent if you want to PM me your address I'll get the Obi Wan and the comic sent to you this week.
:P
-
Chewie, i loved your Pimp Daddy photonovel, very fun!
Ennis you'll have to put me down on the list please.
something like "Pimp Daddy Kenobi does Dallas" is coming to my mind ... but don't worry it will be family safe i promise ;D
-
Aaah, does it have to be? ;)
-
Well just put an NC-17 rating on it. :P Dont worry Ripley Im going to compile the difinitive list in the next couple of days. Ill make sure youre on it. ;D
-
II think I somehow forgot to put my name on the list as well. I think Pimp Daddy might like a trip to the Rockies. :)
-
why the heck not....do I put my adress here?...Edited for privacy reasons....just put it in one of those brown envalopes....I ahve a SUPER small mailbox with a little platform on the front for magazine sized thigns....I think I might have to do something like CHEWIE....you guys gotta see how my dogs afraid of figures....lol.
-
Send them here in Edited for privacy reasons.
-
Guys, posting your adresses in the open like that may not be such a good idea.
We have fellah's like DSJ here, remember. :o
Kevin
-
Yeah I have to agree with Kevin on this guys. Posting your addy for viewing is not a good idea on a public forum. Best to forward your addy via a PM. ;)
I'm going to edit the addys out for privacy reasons. ;)
-
you mean this isnt a members only forum....well..now I know...
-
Chewie, wonderful photonovel! (Photonovella? :) ) Definitely up to the high standards we have come to associate with your work. Love the dramatic lighting in the mailbox shot at the end.
This is going to be such fun. Gotta get the ol' brainwheels turning about where I can take this fun-loving purple fellow. Maybe he can do San Francisco... of course, whether San Francisco will be still standing once Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi gets done with it, is anyone's guess. :)
(Darth Ennis, could you remind us of the order again? As in, who gets him after whom? Thanks a bunch...)
Cheers,
the Findswoman
-
So where in the world is our traveling purple pimp daddy Kenobi?
-
To the best of my knowledge, he's in a box (or will be today) from Chewie to me. Never fear, Chewie and I have some other transactions going so the Pimp Daddy will be traveling with company.
-
Yes, it will be in Brent's hands very soon. Sorry for the delay - he's been keeping an eye over my cantina for a bit, but he's ready to travel. He's headed to the pony express tomorrow. :)
:P
-
Ok, Brent S. has the figure now, can't wait to see what he does with this!
:P
-
Well, I wondered what happened happened to him. I figured he needed time to Dry out in the drunk tank before he got off on his latest adventure. ;D That Pimp Daddy Kenobi can really put them down. ;D Cant wait to se what he gets himself into next.
-
I want to report that the Pimp Daddy arrived safely to my house. I'll take a few pictures around the house and see if there is anything exciting we can do together.
-
Well, please hurry Brent. I'm next on the list and our favorite pimp daddy has a date with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White before his trip to Endor.
-
Is this little project still open for more participants? It sounds awesome!
-
Pimp Daddy made a trip to Indianapolis with me this weekend. My favorite NBA player had his number retired last night and Pimpy was in attendance. Here is a wire photo but I'll update with actual Obi-Wan Photos when I get back home on Sunday or Monday
(http://espn-att.starwave.com/media/nba/2006/0330/photo/a_reggie_195.jpg)
-
Did the Pimp daddy get to meet Miller?
-
Unfortunaltely the closest Pimp Daddy got was Row 15. I got a couple of decent photos from Conseco Fieldhouse. Not sure if he's going to make it to hte Indianapolis Motorspeedway though :(
-
What kind of trouble is our pimp daddy getting into now?
-
Well, unfortunately, life is getting in the way of Pimp Daddy getting more photos. I'll try to finish off the shots of him I've got planned this weekend! I've had next to zero free time at work (gasp) or in the evenings this week.
-
Pimp Daddy Obi-Wan Kenobi is wrapping up his time in my house. Here are a few images of our time together:
First up, our Pimp Daddy hasn't spent much time with his ladies so I made sure to correct this:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/ladies.jpg)
Next he spents some time visiting my collection at work:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/darthtater2.jpg)
and with all his Pimpy Masters:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/masters.jpg)
The highlight of our time together was a trip to my parent's house for spring break. We went to an Indiana Pacer's game at Conseco Fieldhouse:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/consecosign.jpg)
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/at-game.jpg)
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/fanconduct.jpg)
We finished up with a little Texas Hold 'em - Pimpy Style:
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/playingpoker.jpg)
Well, thats it for Pimp Daddy's time with me. He's off to SoCal next with some time with the Phruby's.
(P.S. Sorry my pictures aren't up to my usual standards, I took most of these shots withouth the minitripod I usually use)
-
So how much did he win, from what I understand Texas Hold 'em is his chosen poison. ;D Great job BrentS I cant wait to see what further hijinks he gets into at the Phruby house. The Darth Tater pic is priceless.
-
Brent, that was very cool. Good pics too, no reason to feel they weren't good quality. I love the locations he made it to. It's so cool to see this still continue.
One of the funniest things I've seen in a while -
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y271/cerius31/Obi-Wan/darthtater2.jpg)

-

Unfortunately, Pimp Daddy and myself didn't fair so well at Hold 'em. We just couldn't get a winner.
-
Those are great! Pimp daddy looked like he had lots of fun. I love the picture with him and darth tadder. So did Pimmy beat you at Texas Hold 'em?
-
The Potato line cracked me up ;D I'm glad that PPDK got to spend some time with some choice ladies, so as to live up to his name sake. Also, I'm glad he wasn't hanging out with the interactive Furby-Yoda, because he'd probably have a heart attack at the sheer terrifying talking functionality of that abomination -- I know I did. Also, if you have one of those Yoda's, it's eye lids are probably falling off by now. I'm pretty sure all the one's I've seen a year ago and on look like the guy who drank from the wrong grail.
-
Pimpy should be on his way to Phruby next. Hopefully, I'll get him out in the mail by Saturday.
P.S. we both got our clocks cleaned at Hold'em.
-
Our purple Pimp Daddy has arrived at my house! Very cool to meet him finally. However, he immediately started to harse our cats by chasing them thru out the house screaming "here kitty kitty!". I had to put him back in his mailer for a time out.
-
Yeah, that sounds like him. I should have warned you about that. He always gets like that when he drinks. ;D
-
I know that I'm in the same area of the country as Phurby. I don't know how "set" the order is, but I'd be delighted to go next, as long as it's not stepping on anyone's toes.
This is such a terrific thread!! Great job, Brent!
-
From the list I found while scaning this thread, it seems blaster is next (if he is still interested) followed by findswoman.
D_E, do you have the official list?
-
ACtually yes. Embarrassingly enough I've had it written down for weeks now, but forgot to post it. Here is the official list as it stands now.
Chewie
BrentS
Master_Phruby
Blaster_E11
Findswoman
Quasar
Darth_Delicious
Glassman6
Talon Karrde
Darth_Ripley
Ryan
No Mercy Joe
Hyouriittai
( UPDATE!!)
Rolla Jedi
CloneCommander1
Sorry for the delay. :-[

This is such a terrific thread!! Great job, Brent!
I'm also in the same area as both Quazar and Phruby, but I really want Pimp Daddy in July so I can take him to Comic-Con.
-DD
-
Wednesday our boy is going to Disneyland so I'll have pictures up for thursday and have him in the mail. I've got to get Blaster's address. Does this mean I have to send it to Paris?
-
Actually, for something that small air mail to paris should be only about $5 or so. Its not as expensive as people think.
-
The price isn't what worries me. It's the transit time. It seems to take months for anything to be sent and returned from Europe. I have a ebay auction that has taken over a month to get here from England. I just wonder if Pimp Daddy will get back in time for DD to take to ComicCon.
I wonder why it takes months for shipments from Europe while it takes three days at the most to get something from Japan.
Maybe I should send him to Findswoman, then Quazar, then DD. When DD finishes with him after ComicCon he can send Pimp Daddy to Blaster.
-
Actually, yours seems like a good plan Phruby. That would make more sense. Lets see if we can get in touch with Blaster and see if he wont mind postponing TPPDK's european vacation a couple of weeks.
You are right though, it does seem to take forever sometimes. I don't really know why that is. ???
-
I think it's a customs thing with international shipping. Back in January, I sent 4 figures to a friend in Canada, and it took 6 full weeks to get there!
:)
-
I'm going to send it to Findswoman.
I've got my pictures taken at Disneyland last night. I got some pretty weird looks from people and cast members as I setup the figure in front of the castle and elsewhere. My wife was completely embarrised as I ran round Disneyland with Obiwan in the stroller and set him up in various locations. I figure weirder things have been done at Disneyland. I need to photoshop them and post them tonight.
Darth_Ennis, have you considered setting up a web site with all the pictures people take and an interactive list for others to sign up?
-
I'd love to do just that, but unfortunately I still dont have my own internet access yet. I would love to see it happen though.
-
I'll make up a page on my site for his travels.
-
I'm going to send it to Findswoman.
Omigosh, is it my turn already? Yikes! :o
Phruby, I'm looking forward to seeing your Pimp Daddy Kenobi photos -- I bet he had a great time at Disneyworld, even if Mrs. Hruby didn't. ;)
... the Findswoman
-

I can totally relate. My brothers who were at the basketball game with me wanted absolutely no part of me when I stopped for pictures.
-
Well here is Pimp Daddy's visit to the Happiest Place on Earth! No.... not the Flamingo Showgirl Theater on Ball. I mean Disneyland!!!

Well, that's Pimp Daddy's trip to Disneyland. I hope you enjoyed it. ;D
-
AWESOME!!!!!!! Sure glad he didn't fall into that well. Were you at least a little nervous??
-
Not nervous. The well is only four feet deep. I was more worried about him falling out of the stroller and getting lost.
-
Well they say, " It ain't easy but it's neccessary!" Great pics. I hope he had a great time.
Of course I do think booking a trip on Star Tours to get him to Findswoman's must have been a bit expensive. ;D
BTW I never realised how small that Donald Duck statue was. And Eisner is the biggest rat in the park. :P
-
I guess Obi wan wasn't able to get into Club 33. Even after using a mind-trick!
Great pictures!!! Well-done!
-
You know, I didn't even think of that. That would have been a great picture.
-
Great photos Phruby - my hubby & i got some good laughs out of it. i can't wait till he gets to come here & do Dallas with me & joe...ya'll suppose Pimpy is up for a threesome ? i'll have to keep those photos here at home tho LOL! j/k ;)

I know :( I wish one of those Han's would magically materialize in our Wal Mart.
Then again, a ROTS SA Clone did magically materialize in Wal Mart today, so I shouldn't complain ;)
I love this thread, it's quite entertaining. It's a great idea, and I love that source that inspired Purple Pimp Daddy's creation :)
Looking forward to seeing his further adventures...
-
You know, it's funny. I just finished the included comic book and Obiwan doesn't look anything like he does on the cover. He actually looks more like a bearded Punisher without the skull.

a true pimp has many outfits my dear phruby ;D
-
Im glad somebody besides me read it. Isn't it just awful? ;D
-
Well, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. So the bad guys home in on the pleasure craft. Obiwan tells the ship to play dead and then fires both guns at the bad guys blowing them up. Then some more show up and everybody wants to be killed by obiwan so they won't be slaves. Obiwan destroys the homeing beacon on board ship and the bad guys can't find them anymore in the astroid field. Of course, Bail Organa finds out about this story from Obiwan and tells Leia so she can relate it to Han and Luke.
What the heck was that about?
-
Phruby, I love your Disneyworld photos! They look great -- very well done. I'm glad that Pmp Daddy Kenobi had such a great time seeing all the sights. In the end, though, I think you made the right decision sending him USPS instead of Star Tours! :)
By way of update, Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi is currently here in the Findshome, resting from his travels. Actually, he may be resting for another week or so, since I have to finish up the first draft of my prospectus before Tuesday. But after that... Bay Area, better watch out! :D
... the Findswoman
-
Phruby, that was a great adventure. It's great to see this living on. The Purple Pimp has become a celebrity. :)
:)
-
Wait until DD takes him to Comic Con. That should be classic!
-
*ahem* so...how do you sign up for this?
thanks,
Joe
-
Yes, I'd like to know as well! :)
-
PM Darth_Ennis. He's keeping the list.

According to this list you already did:
ACtually yes. Embarrassingly enough I've had it written down for weeks now, but forgot to post it. Here is the official list as it stands now.

Darth_Delicious

Talon Karrde

Sorry for the delay. :-[
Phruby somehow I missed commenting on the Pimp Daddy's latest adventure. Those Disneyland shots are classic. I love the one of him stalking the little princess, and the shot of him looking down the well. I think he may have had as much fun as you did with this. :)
-
Weird suggestion here, and if the automatic reply is "no way, that would miss the whole point" I understand that sentiment- I don't mean to offend at all.
Since the Pimp Daddy seems to be on a list at the moment and can only travel so fast, and there seem to be some people who would like to host him but weren't involved in the planning, I have a weird suggestion: what if a second Pimp Daddy was made, or perhaps something new but similar?
Now, I don't mean to imply a knock-off of the idea or anything exactly. But perhaps someting truly secondary could be made and hosted around people not included on the original list? It could be a part of this thread, or another one running alongside it. This would be a way for latecomers to get in on some of the fun without derailing Pimp Daddy's plans.
If not a Pimp Daddy replica, perhaps an intentional variation? Maybe one made from a different figure, or even a Punisher-costume variant? If that seems too wrong, perhaps it could be another character of some kind.
As I said, I can see where this idea would be bad, but I think it's an idea that should at least be contemplated. Either way I wouldn't be able to host such a thing, so it's a third-party observer's idea; make of it what you will. :)
-
Well, I like your idea and it certainly isn't without merit. But the list is by no meand stagnant. anyone who wants to host him just has to say so. I mean, you will go at the bottom of the list but the list isn't very long at the moment. Personally , I would like him to go everywhere, so no one gets left out. Trust me there was absoultely NO planning involved in this. ;D
There is no real "Sign up" involved, all you do is say you want to join, and your automaticly on the list.
IF Rolla and Mitsukara would like to be added to the list the more the merrier.
-
I think it gets hard to track two lists instead of just one. I can see him getting to everybody on the list by the end of the year.
I think what would be cool is if JD could host a page off their main page to show archival pictures of Pimp Daddy's journeys. There could be an automatic sign up form so others outside the custom group could play along. I suggested it in my survey.
-

As I said, I wasn't really pushing for my idea or anything, just something that occured to me and I thought I'd get out there. I'm fine with whatever those involved wish to do, I just enjoy watching ;)
IF Rolla and Mitsukara would like to be added to the list the more the merrier.
Nah, I wouldn't really be able to do such a thing right now, and I live in a small town anyway. Maybe I could take him out of town to see some cows?...

That's a good idea; if I'd read your post first I would've seconded that in the survey.
The lack of planning is cool in a way, really ;) Seriously, it adds something I think. Just as long as he doesn't get lost or something of course >.<
-

I think even a Pimp Daddy should hang with some Cows sometime.

So Findswoman have you any news on our Pimp Daddy's adventures? It needs to get to DD for next month's Comic-con.

Sorry it's taken me so long -- Pimp Daddy Kenobi hasn't been able to do much because I had to finish up the school semester. But it's done now, so I'm looking at next week for a quick tour of the neighborhood and a visit with some of the other customs. Again, sorry abt the delay! :o
When exactly is ComicCon? I can plan to get it to him by them if I know the dates. :)

It's the big Comic book convention where Hasbro shows off new star wars toys and new comic book movies are premiered. It's held in San Diego every year. Darth_Delierious is working at it this year. The dates are July 20-23rd.

Rolla Jedi, and CloneCommander1 have now been added ot the master list. I cant wait to see where he goes next.

Update time! I took Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi on a walk around my neighborhood today, and took TONS of photos. Here's a little sneak preview:
(http://homepage.mac.com/delaix/.Pictures/KenobiPreview.JPG)
Right now he's resting up before the welcome reception that the other customs will be throwing for him this evening. He was awfully psyched when I told him how many lady customs would be there! ;D
... the Findswoman
-
I bet he was excited about the party. Looks like he's getting ready for a swim.
-
He actually almost DID go for a swim in that very fountain! It was a close shave, indeed.
And now, without further ado, I'm proud to present my finished photocomical contributions to the Brotherhood of the Travelling Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi!
First, just a simple walking tour through the neighborhood, wih visits to local shops & sights, including a real live page from the Gutenberg Bible...

Great stop for our purple pimpy friend. The sights and sounds around the bay were great. However, that reception was hysterical!!! I absolutely loved the reception. There are so many of your customs that I've never seen before, it was great to see so many at once.
-
That was really funny! I loved the reception!
-
Too funny finds. Great stuff.
-
man I wish i could of been there, what a party ;D. great pics/customs Finds, Kenobi looks like he must've had a good time with you & your ladies.
-
Hey guys, just joined cause I saw this at RS, thanks to findswoman.. can I join the par-tay? He needs to visit the Windy City!!!
I have some cool luggage looking items.. if you guys want, I can send them to the next person on the list.. lol.. you know.. luggage always gets lost ;)
I got an idea, although the luggage isn't that big.. what'd be cool is if people added something to it, weather a simple sticker or something to show where it's been, or a funny item inside the luggage.. whacha think?
-Joe
-
I love it!!!
Findswoman, great, great job! the reception is fantastic. It's terrific seeing all of your lovely female customs together at the same time. Extremely funny and creative. the set is great, the customs are beautiful and the story and dialogue are tres drole.
Quick question, though, doesn't Eloise live at the Plaza, not the Four Seasons? ;)
I enjoyed the neighborhood images, too. Very pictaresque. Wonderful job all around.
(and, p.s. I'm next! Yipee!)
-
Great photonovel Esther. Good location shots and I like the little bed you gave him to sleep in before the reception. That was alot of customs I've never seen of yours before. You need to post closeup pictures of those customs around here. I like the girl with the imperial logo on her chest. It's funny my kids were just watching Eloise not too long ago. That is exactly something she would do.
Quazar, what do you have in mind for our Pimp Daddy?

the quintessential L.A. experience. I'll say no more. :)
-
Apparantly my earlier post did not go through, angry I am that I have to type it again. :P ;D
Excellent job Finds. The Gutenberg Bible place is beautiful, I so want to go there now.
AS far as the party is concerned, I don't think TPPDK was quite as mad as he made it seem. Knowing him like I do, he went to his room, wrang out his cloak, and drank it all down. Cold Colt .45 is too precious to be wasted. ;D And he surely would not have let a wet cloak keep him from a room full of tipsy hot ladies. ;)
and as far as a quintissential L.A. experience, I shudder to think, but he should enjoy that.If you go to the Whiskey I definately want to see that. ;D
-
Thanks for all the kind words, guys! Glad I could bring a laugh or 2 your way.
Phruby, thanks! He's sleeping on a Polly Pocket sofa that I got on clearance -- it's JUST the right size for SW figures.
Quazar, yes, Eloise's home base is the Plaza. But when her mother goes to Coruscant, she prefers the Four Seasons. :) (Besides, that's the only podium I have! :D ) By the way, exactly what IS the "quintessential L.A. experience"? I've never been there so I have to profess ignorance.
Darth Ennis, you may be right about Kenobi. I'll ask him. I think a number of the "tipsy hot ladies" may actually have followed him when he went off to change (but that wasn't really something I had the heart to chow on a family board :D ). As for the Chapel of the Chimes, there are plenty more photos for your viewing pleasure at at its official site (http://www.chapelofthechimes.com/oakland/index.html), if you haven't already been there.
Phruby, BrentS, Quazar, in my next post on this thread I intend to have a list of all the customs that appeared, along with links to closeup photos. Most are on my website already, but I still have to add the few that aren't. (For example, the girl with the imperial logo is my Imperial Cheerleader (http://findswoman.net/4inch/ImperialCheerleader.html).)
Thanks again, all! It's really been fun hosting The Purple One! :)

Nice work Finds. Much nicer area of Oakland than the one I got lost in about 15 years ago. In fact, I didn't know Oakland had a nice area until now. :P I know if I'd had the PPDK as my sidekick back then I'd have shown no fear.

Oh yes, Oakland's got at least a couple of nice one areas. At least 1 or 2 other besides this one. I was lucky enough to find an affordable apartment in this particular nice area 4 years ago when I first came out here for grad school. What part of town was it that you get lost in? Do you recall the street names, etc.?

All right...The big purple Pimp Daddy found his way to my crib today and tomorrow, is off to San Diego with me for Comic-Con. May his adventures be grand ones!
-DD
-
Quazar, what happen to the quintessential L.A. experience? I didn't see the pictures for this. Good to hear that DD got him. I'll see you at ComicCon.
-
Phurby,
Unfortunately, Pimpy's L.A. adventure went wildly overbudget and overschedule.
I released Pimp Daddy from his contract early so he could attend Comic Con.
But he'll come back to L.A. to shoot some pick-ups , finish the greenscreen work and do ADR when DD is done with him.
-
Cool. DD when can we see the pictures from ComicCon?
-
Haven't heard anything from anyone on this project for a little while -- hope everything is going all right and it's still on!
Delicious, I too am rarin' to see your ComiCon photos, but take your time if you need to. Real life is hard!
(Quazar, I'm really looking forward to your quintessential L.A. contribution, as well!)
... the Findswoman

So where are the pictures of Pimp Daddy's latest adventures? Did he pass out from waiting hours in line to get into comic-con? Did he make it with Carrie Fisher at Comic-con? Was he found dead at a trendy L.A. hangout? Did he fall off the ledge of world? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
I just think they abandoned him drunk in an alley in L.A. and just don't want to tell us.
-
So is Pimp Daddy lost to the ages? Did he get eaten by a dog? Did he get sucked up in a vacuum? Did he get arrested? Is he now someone's prison bitch? I need closure! This is sad. Well, I guess it only takes one person to destroy a chain.
WHERE's OUR PURPLE PIMP DADDY?!!! :'(
-
I'd love the pimp daddy to pay a visit to the U.K if hes found :D
-
I'm sure DD has everything under control.Remember he updates very rarely so im sure he's just very busy.
-
That's true. I haven't heard from him since ComicCon. :'(
-
DD, if you're out there, send me Pimp Daddy back so i can finish my LA project!
Thanks!
-
I hope DD's all right.....
-
Hey all,
Sorry it took me so long to post...I've had a million things going and have had very little time for anything hobby-related of late. (Short of hitting the stores every morning, of course!)
Pimp Daddy is fine, he's been sitting on my shelf next to my Master Replica Stormtrooper rifle, and is readying for his trip back to Quazar this week. I hate to see him go, but I must admit hanging out with him and his posse of "fly honeys" as he calls them, can be rather exhausting.
Pics will be up as soon as I install photoshop on my new PC and size them. And believe me, there's a few good ones. ;D
Hopefully in October I can update my customs thread, assuming it still exists...
-DD
-
Hey DD!! Welcome back.

Whew! Thank God I was starting to get worried about you. I thought he got you drunk and talked you into moving to that commune in Maui.
Trust me Ive been there, it's not all its cracked up to be. Oh, and anopther thing never , NEVER loan TPPDK money, it's the last youll ever see of it.
But in all seriousness, Im glad youre back, I am really looking forward to the pics.

Try that Order 66 crap now that my back isn't turned, beeyatch! PIMP SLAP!!!

And finally, the Pimp Daddy beats me to the punch when it comes to picking up one of the cutest ladies at the show...
-DD
-
That is AWESOME. Well worth the wait. Pimp Daddy is a lucky man.
-
Aaahhh! I feel so much better knowing that DD is still alive and the pimp daddy had a great time at CC. Great photos DD. Too bad Pimp Daddy didn't run into those Vampire chicks I saw on the saturday session.
-
Glad you're back DD! Sweet pics of PPDK and all the celebs, but you didn't put one of you and PPDK "kickin' it," as they say.
-
Hey Ruprecht,
I'm actually in the pic with PPDK and Amy Allen, but cropped it as I decided I didn't want to be famous on the internet. Plus I'm leaning across the table at a really odd angle, and the whole thing just looks bizarre. Besides, she's really the one worth looking at. :D
Funny thing is, Temuera Morrison and I were at the same hotel, and I actually ran into him a few more times. On Sunday after Con, My friends and I ran into him again and actually hung out with him for awhile and talked. He's a very interesting guy, and unbelievably nice. He took a whole slew of pics with us, which I'm still waiting to be developed. We invited him to dinner with us, but he had a plane to catch shortly thereafter. He really could not have been more pleasant.
-DD
-
Agreed, Temuera Morrison is a fantastic guy. He really loves his fans. I have a great picture of him with my son. He posed with him and joked with him a little.
-
Golden! Love it! :D
Welcome back to us, Darth Delicious, and thanks for your fabulous contribution to the saga of Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi! How cool that you got Tem and Amy in on the fun, too. Who are the other girls, incidentally? Anyone you knew, or just random folks in cool costumes?
Thanks again -- it is great to see Purple Kenobi back in action! :)
... the Findswoman
-
WOW!!
Awesome, DD! That's fantastic!! Morrison and Allen!!
Great pics, now I really regret not going to the Con. Looks like you and PP had a terrific time.
This was well worth the wait!
welcome back to the board!
-
So where is our purple pimp daddy now???? We havn't heard from him in months! :o
-
Stuck at DD's. Has anyone heard from him since the summer?!
-
:'( Should I report him as a missing person?
:'( Should I report DD as a missing person?
TPPDK usually goes on binges of drinking and whoring like this quite often, he's never gone this long without checking in before. I wonder if he's gotten poor DarthD involved in this too. :o
I wonder if he's suckered him into investing in that Tiujana Brothel idea. :o
-
Gosh, I hope that didn't happen. I hear it is next to impossible to get out of a Mexican jail without some cash on you. I guess that is the problem when traveling with a drunk horny Jedi who's mind tricks seem to increase in potency the more alcohol is in him.
-
Those poor Leia and padme figures, Oh no hope he didnt find any new POTC3 swan figs :o this is disastrous.
-
i was afraid i missed out on my turn with pimp kenobi, but it seems he is MIA with DD :'(
nice photos at Comic Con DD 8)
-
DD was posting at Yak the other day... I'll see if I can get a hold of him. He had said in his posts how busy he has been. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.
;)
-
I don't doubt he's been busy. I can certainly relate myself.
I just miss him....and TPPDK. :P ;D
-
DD said he'd send it to me, but I haven't received it yet.
I'll send him a gentle reminder.
There's hope!!
-
I already talked with him about it, he said hes been having fun with the ladies, and just didnt want to leave. But DD is kickin him out and hes on his way to Lances
-
Wow!!!
Guess who showed up at my place today? Yep, good ol' Travelling Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi.
He smelled of cheap hooch and stale cigarettes and crashed on my couch late last night after mumbling something about "damn Malaysian prisons" and hasn't woken up since.
But he's on the move again and I'm sure more adventures will be forthcoming!
-
He's alive!!! WOW!!! :o I can't believe it! Our Purple Pimp Daddy has returned! All hail the Purple Pimp Daddy! Can't wait to see what trouble you two get into to.
You know what would be cool is if he showed up in the city section of our Ultimate Group Project diorama at C4.
-
Ha Ha, the Pimp Daddy Returns!
:P
-
That is great news! I look forward to the new adventures!
-
You can't defear a Purple Pimp Daddy, you can only hope to contain him.
-
So when are we going to see something? ???
-
Bueller? Bueller? ???
Did the purple pimp daddy fall back into the Twilight Zone again?
-
PPD's going to C4, right? He better be...he owes me a beer!
-DD
-
I really want the purple one to be in the UGP diorama at C4. Quazar, would you please send him to me for inclusion before May 1st?
-
I think his Purpleness would make a great addition to the UGP. Jusat breezin through of course on his way to whatever jail, brothel, or pimp crib may be next on the agenda.
Even if he's just passed out in an alley somewhere with a bottle of Tequila. Which is his most natural state. ;D
-
Ok. Where is the Purple Pimp Daddy? I've sent him off after C4. So is he sitting on someone's shelf right now never to travel again?
-
Is this some kind of travelling gnome?
-
Ok. Where is the Purple Pimp Daddy? I've sent him off after C4. So is he sitting on someone's shelf right now never to travel again?
Pimp Daddy was going to make a trip to Scotland and England, but he forgot his plane ticket and got in a tussle with the TSA gate guard and wasn't allowed on the plane. Either that or I just plain old forgot him. One of the two. Next time I'm at the parent's house (within the next few weeks) I'll pick him up and he can be sent on his way to someone who can start him on his next adventure.
-
Oh, that is where he is. I couldn't remember were I sent him.
-
So are we going to continue sending the Purple Pimp Daddy around? Anyone want to take him now?
-
If it's going to be sent around, pics nedd to be taken (like a travelling gnome) If I get it I will take it to the top of the CN tower here in Toronto.
-
Hey Ryan, any chance you can send PDK to Pat?
-
I've never been in the CN tower and I live an hour . This would be a good excuse . What a cool pic. Glass floor 5 foot ball fields high.

(Address removed. It isn't a good idea to post your home address in public forums)
-
Purple Pimp Daddy will be enroute to Canuckia early this week. :)
-
Cool, I was wondering what happened to his Purpleness.
I can't wait to see what further mischeif TPPDK get's into in the Great White North. ;) ;D
-
Waiting patiently
-
To bad I did not get it sooner, My wife just got back from Niagra Falls.
Could have also got some good picks in front of Mints (Strip joint ).
-
As long as you don't put him in a barrel and toss him over the falls, I think he will be ok. Just give him plenty of beer.
-
I will see if I can find my old Bob and Dough Macenzy figures for that
-
Just got pimp Obi today. I will try to take him to the CN Tower this Week end.
-
Are you guys in a rush to see those pics? I'm quite buisy lately. I got guests this week end. Who will get Pimpanobi next?
-
The pimp could go back to some previous owners...
-
Since his pimpyness needs a home for a while I'll gladly take him but if he starts hitting on all my ladies in the house his a$$ is out.
-
Pat, can you take at least one picture of his purpleness while he is with you?
-
Ya but not at cn tower yet so let me know when who ever gets it next.I will take one tomorrow.
-
If Pimp Daddy comes this way, I can take a picture of him with the Hollywood sign in the background.
-
Now that's motivation for me to get my a$$ to the Tower.
-
<sigh> :-\
-
what's wrong?
-
Did you go to the tower?
-
I need more time one of my students droped my camera and it's going to cost me 256$ ti fix it.
-
What is the ETA on that?
-
I'm waiting for my principal to give me an answer on refunding me. Let me know if you wan't him back with out the pics
-
I guess the purple pimp daddy is never returning.
-
Naw I have it who wants it and where?
-
I can take it and have him pictured with the Hollywood sign in the BG.
-
Send him to me afterwards Darth Anton! PM me for my addy.
-
Ok, I put together a cheesy little photonovel for this. I've been swamped with other things so sorry this isn't too creative.

Cautiously Pimp Kenobi approaches the CHEWIE household, prepared for anthing that may come in his way.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis2.jpg)
Here he is greeted by Angel, who tells of the tyranny of the evil Sith in CHEWIE's collection room.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis3.jpg)
After listening carefully to Angel's warning of the evil, Pimp Kenobi sees for himself the ashes of the three dogs who have passed on in the CHEWIE household.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis4.jpg)
Being a pet lover, he immediately joins the cause for freedom!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis5.jpg)
Throughout the collection no enemy is safe!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis6.jpg)
For soon the collection will once again remember the name of Pimp Kenobi!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis7.jpg)
With the leaders of the Rebellion on his side...
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis8.jpg)
Pimp Kenobi brings down the Empire!
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis9.jpg)
"Thank you," Angel says. "I'm a straight cool playa," Obi Wan replies.
(http://chewie34.250free.com/0228ennis10.jpg)
"And my journey has just begun..."
:P
Shtt!!! I don't have my old photos anymore of his historic journey in St. Louis... I'd be happy to do it again though.
-
I'll take him after you Glass, looks like you, Anton, & myself are all local to each other anyway.
Tour de CA
-
Well, as soon as Pat is ready to ship, just PM me for my address.
-
Guys, in one week I am leaving on an amazing super secret trip and I would LOVE to have the Pimp Daddy for it. I promise to take some pics that will be terrific and unique.
Any chance I can jump in line here, Anton? Being in the LA area myself, I can get him back to you as soon as I return, which will be in 3 weeks.
Any thoughts, gang? I know i had him last year and didn't take any, but I promise to take some phenomenal and important pics if I can grab him before I leave.
If this is cool with everyone, please let me know ASAP. Thanks!
-
I know where you're going Lance... and I agree, if you can get the figure for some pics, it would be most impressive.
-
I will send it Tomorrow guys. sorry about that. I was hoping to get a pic of it at the CN tower. But I have not been downtown for some time.
-
Send to Lance Quazar if you can... he's going to a very, very good destination for this...
-
it will be in NJ on Monday
-
Lance is in L.A., not Jersey... Is someone else getting him or what is the deal?
-
Maybe his purpleness got on the wrong flight? It's happen before. He seems to like to fly Hooters Airlines for some reason.
-
Dang! Lance is going overseas. Oh well...
Lance, don't let this stop you from still taking some cool pics... you ought to take a figure anyway and do something cool, considering where you're going!
-
The address he gave me was NJ
-
My understanding is that he'll be in NJ when Pimp Daddy arrives. When he gets back, we're going to have lunch here in LA to do a hand off.
-
oh
-
Sorry for the confusion, gang. Patreek and Anton are correct, I'm going from my home in LA to New Jersey where I will take some SWEET pics of Purple Kenobi outside the Meadowlands, the Bada Bing and many other, um, "famous" New Jersey landmarks!
Oh, then I might bring him on my other trip, too... ;)
And then back to Anton in sunny California!
-
Cool. It will be good to see the boy traveling again. I've missed him since C4.
-
Kenobi is in hand and ready to travel!
-
Yippy!!! :D
It's good he finally escaped and is traveling again. Can't wait to see what trouble he gets into again.
-
Good to hear that i have not lost my right to the brotherhood.
-
Whoo-Hooo!!!
His purpleness is FINALLY back to travelling!!
Damn Tijuana prisons!!!!
Just to give you guys an update on my whereabouts as of late, I have moved back to the Big Easy to a MUCH better job. And sad to say it some of the city and the surrounding areas are better off than they were Pre Katrina.
So once things finally settle down here I would love to take the purple one out for the night of his life in the Big Easy before sending him off on his way again.
-
Show me your.......!!!!! Beads lots of BEADS!!!
-
Show me your.......!!!!! Beads lots of BEADS!!!
It's a little too late for Mardi Gras now, but I will see what I can do about getting PDK some "beads". ;)
-
It's good to hear from you again Darth Ennis. I'm glad things are looking up for you again.
-
So where is the Pimp Daddy? ???
-
Pimp Daddy? Where are you? Did he fall into some carbonite? We could all use a laugh right about now.
-
Ya where is His Pimpyness, it was kinda neat seeing all the pics of him and his advetures back in the day.
-
That's kind of the problem around here. People grab his royal purpleness and keep him without taking pictures of him and passing him along. It's rather sad.
-
Lets just say there were some "complications" with his purpleness. BUt rest assures he has returned home.
He will need a little time to rest and recuperate before I can send him out again with a clean bill of health.
But have no fear, his Purpleness will travel again very soon. ;)
-
At least he is back to his original owner and creator.
-
He's alive? I had heard from an inside source that he was "missing" forever. Guess that's not the case. ;D
-
Little rehab for his Pimpness? Are we going to see him on Sober House? Or is it more like the Six Million Credit Jedi?
-
I think His Purpleness needs the Legacy upgrade now.
-
That's what I was thinking when I saw the new Kenobi.
-
I think His Purpleness needs the Legacy upgrade now.
Hmmm.... You know, that ain't a half bad idea.
-
As the last known person to travel with Pimpy, I vow to FINALLY get around to posting my pics this week.
-
I would love to see those! Can't wait! :D
-
Is PPDK going to Comic-Con this year?
-
Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi, where are you?! Someone call the FBI and release the hounds!
-
Any known whereabouts of his purpleness? If they can find ol' what's his name ;) I would hope Pimp Daddy could be found as well!
-
i weep for u your purpleness, with post offices soon to be closing left and right i fear u will never be found/delivered
-
As the last known person to travel with Pimpy, I vow to FINALLY get around to posting my pics this week.
So two years later, where are the pictures? ...and the purple pimp daddy for that matter?
-
As a blast from the past, here are some pictures of the Travelling Purple Pimp Daddy Kenobi visiting Disneyland in 2005!

good times....good times.....
-
I miss the Great Purple Pimp Daddy. To think I had him and never got to take him on an adventure... :(
-

In hiding, no doubt. That's what he's good at :)
-
Ah! I remember reading this before I joined it was a funny cool endeavor indeed. I mean here he's a iconic figure, like one of those 80's one-hit wonder songs that everybody loves.
-
I believe there was also a "Where's Iggy?" thing on another site, featuring a vintage IG-88. Long time ago, though.
-
Maybe we could clone the Pimp Daddy and send him on some new adventures? Any interest?
-
I'm all for it! ;D
