Replied.


BTW, I have no extra coins to trade. What little I have is linked in my sig. Thanks.

Time to go spar with Kitty World lady again.

You should lay that bitch out.

That's one long wait for a Christmas present....

Ook, does the curved pieces fit right over the cardboard bar or did you have to cut it out? I don't have any of the straight pieces but once I get my curved pieces I'd like to be able to put them right over the pre-existing bar in the pop up cantina.

No, I'm afraid you have to tear it out. There's a glued tab that you have to pull off the floor. And you'll have to tear two more off the wall which actually go through to the outside wall. I just realized I should've cut those instead of pulling them free of the glue, as that left torn white spots on the outside of it. As a matter of fact, you also need to rip the distillery from the floor if you want the plastic bar flooring to fit under it.

I found this wave yesterday, with several of M'iiyoom, Helrot, Umpass, and Lukes, but no McVaders or CZ-4s at all  .  I bought one of each except Umpass (which I think looks fantastic and is very large of a figure, but I just don't buy any Special Edition characters  ).  I tell you what- the Luke is much better than the early pics suggest.  As the Jabba's palace version, he is mediocre, but when converted into DS2 Luke he's much better than the POTF2 cinema scene version or the action feature version.  His boots and joints are not as exaggerated as they appear in online pics, and his scale is appropriately small.  Further, I think his face sculpt is the most accurate ROTJ version yet made.  Should we NEED to customize our figures?  No, but with minimal work he is greatly improved. 
The M'iiyoom is well-detailed and the drybrush/wash paintjob is really good!  I have her standing next to a couple other patrons in my cantina dio with her snout in her drink, and the improvements compared to the POTF2 characters are easily apparent.  But she is a bit dull and obscure of a character, so I expect she'll pegwarm; furthermore, a character like this is a tad difficult for me to spend $7 on.  I still do it  but I'd have felt better if she was a part of a battle pack or some other cheaper means of getting figures
Elis, on the other hand, is a bit more iconic and has clothing accessories that allow him to sit.  He's a tall figure with excellent sculpting and feels like a better value than M'iiyoom.

I hear you on the SE characters. But I bought Umpass because 1) he's an OT species and 2) he's not CGI. Was tempted to get the dancers, but they're too preposed. CGI Snootles and Yowzah sit in the closet where they belong. I have a vintage Sy with my modern figs. It's a friggin travesty if they don't update her. And I'd rather have a a fig of the goofy Yuzzem puppet that may or may not have been in ROTJ than the SE CGI one. Just can't bring myself to sully my display with that ****. Never could bring myself to buy that Ketwol thing, either...

Helrot more iconic than Onith? Never! The Root Snoot is clearly seen carrying on with Trevagg as they laugh about some private lovers' joke. That's iconic!

$3.00...

I got M'iiyoom, Elis, CZ and Umpass in the mail today.

I haven't been able to do much shopping lately, so I just ordered the Onith, Helrot, CZ and Umpass from ToyWiz via Amazon. Oddly enough Luke was $12.99, so needless to say, I passed on that bargain.
