Saga '02-'04 / Re: RUMORS FOR 2004!!!!!!
« on: December 31, 2003, 01:25 PM »
To cut Hasbro some slack, they can skip Mas Amedda, Bespin Dinner Vader (all it has is the silly blaster effect), & Nien Numb (Endor) for 2004 and they can make ALL of the others!!!

Revenge of the Sith / Re: Episode 3 Figures
« on: December 31, 2003, 01:19 PM »
Definitely, we will be seeing a preview set. What was the last one again? Clone, Zam, yellow r2 w/clear dome, and something else? Nothing too exciting.... just enough to get us excited. I doubt we'd get Grievious yet, but maybe. Probably an Anakin. I can't imagine another clone after getting the super articulated one.

« on: December 31, 2003, 12:18 PM »#1 Moff Jerjerrod
#2 Yarna d'al Gargan
#3 Weequay drummer for the band
#4 Hermi Odle
#5 Warok/ Romba
#6 Chief Chirpa/Lumat
#7 Hermi Odle
#8 Bib Fortuna (resculpt)
#9 General Madine [okay... I really want him and he's only a rumor, so far]
#10 Vintage Imperial Dignatary (resculpt) [he was the coolest looking]
Well, Madine is confirmed and just to have a little more room, I'll consider the Vintage Imp dignatary a strong enough rumor to take him off the list. I hope Moff Jerjerrod is too, but I still don't trust that one yet. ... what's this? I just noticed I had Hermi in at #4 & #7!!! Didn't know I wanted him that bad!

#9 Klaatu Palace version
#10 Female ewok and baby
I'd love to be updating my picks every 3-6 months because Hasbro made some of the figures I wanted. Guess up to April 2005 or so is the last chance to see that happen.

Well, it only looks like I get two more picks now. I thought we got Shu Mai, but that was probably someone else in the Geonosian War Room Screen Scene. I REALLY can't believe we still haven't got Cliegg, Owen or Beru yet!!!

10. Vanilla Obi-Wan (I guess... I can't think of others I really want since we know we are getting the seated Jedi council still coming) Maybe an Ultra set with RIC-920 and the "taxi" if a seated Padme & Anakin would come out.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: 2004 Figures Release List
« on: December 30, 2003, 04:56 PM »
I can't imagine that more than half of that the rumor list will pan out, but if it did 2004 would be the greatest year yet. Some of those I've seen on many lists, others I've only seen on what looks to be someone's wishlist posted on some site. Scott, is there any chance you could break that list up (using your discretion) on what is strongly rumored and what doesn't seem to have much of a back-up to the rumor?

Original Trilogy Collection / Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
« on: December 30, 2003, 04:37 PM »1. Major Bren Derlin
2. General Veers
3. Lobot resculpt
4. R-3PO
5. Admiral Ozzel
6. Captain Needa
7. General Rieekan
8. Bespin gown Leia
9. Deluxe Ugnaught
10. Black Bespin Guard
Okay, so we have General Carlist Rieekan and R-3PO (according to the Japanese catalog shots ) coming now, I guess I will replace them with Dagobah Luke and now I can finally jump on the icecream maker guy bandwagon as my last choice..
Well, now there are 4 from my original list that are being made (Rieekan, R-3PO, Bespin Leia [assuming Swami is correct], and Ozzel). So, I will go with:
1. Major Bren Derlin
2. General Veers in Imperial uniform w/ snap-on armor
3. Lobot resculpt
4. Captain Needa
5. Toryn Farr
6. Zev Senesca - Rogue 2
7. Dagobah Luke resculpt w/accesseries
8. Non-buff Snowspeeder Luke resculpt
9. Black Bespin Guard (Sgt. Edian)
10. Yoda w/backpack, & other accessories resculpt
I'm assuming/hoping the Medical Frigate Luke rumor is true because I would like to see that as well (besides, I only have 2 Lukes on my list!!!) The Jeremy Bullock Imp. officer and E-3PO were also hard to leave off, as well as ICMG. Sorry about that, OCB. Hopefully the Dagobah Luke & Yoda will be made as well and I can add that back in as well as a super articulated Snowtrooper (if I don't chose to add Jeremy Bullock Imp. officer and E-3PO into the list).

Saga '02-'04 / 6th figure of the Coruscant Night Club Scene
« on: December 4, 2003, 05:08 PM »
According to old rumor information or old Hasbro information that never fully came out:
Based on the 2 sets fo the Jedi Council and Geonosian War Room, I assume there was going to be 2 sets of the Coresucant Night Club. So far, we have seen 5 of what would have been the 6 figures: Lt. Faytonni, Achk Med-Beq, Obi Wan (Outlander Nightclub), Elan Sleazebaggano (Outlander Nightclub), and Ayy Vida. By my count, that's 5 figures and to complete the 2nd Scene Pack, we would have needed a 6th figure. Any guesses? Lucas's daughter? The bartender?

« on: November 26, 2003, 08:21 AM »
Thanks Corran...
I've checked out FFURG for a couple of years and always "planned" to do a few customs, but never did until the contest. I did do the boil & pop method, but I guess the neck peg was larger on the 2nd figure.
Anyway, I think this is definitely a case where I'll buy multiple figures for the purpose of trying to modify the glasses on his tray. The cups look like they are just molded bumps on the tray, all covered in that gold paint, so I doubt they are removable. But, I guess another idea would be to lop them off and glue some cups from the cantina sets that are warming Walmarts pegs.

Well, this probably isn't the right forum section to ask, but since we are on the subject of R2 drinks on his drink tray, I have a customizing question. I am VERY new to customizing. I just tried a "simple" head swap for a custom to compete in the artoosnews.com's SH4 constest (won 8th place). I had to trim & trim the knob under the neck to get the head back in the hole. I didn't have that big of an issue pulling it out, but I could not get it back in.
Anyway, with painting, which I have never attempted and would be nervous on something with such small detail. I think I would like to keep the current "cups" on since I think it would be a night mare to try to keep them balanced on the tray. I don't know if a small drill bit could hallow out the top of a cup, but I'd like to try that. But then what paint... grey/white? to paint the top of the cup with the appropriate drink color at the bottom of the cup. Anyone ever customize something with this small of detail? Would it be worth it?

Maybe I'm just being picky, but the only thing I really have an issue with is the R2 tray. Instead of the gold paint for the cups R2 is carrying, I'd like to see clear cups with possibly the red & blue tint that Lt. Danl and the Ack Med Cantina figures come with, but smaller, like in the picture on the back of the card.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: Jedi Warriors 4-Pack
« on: November 21, 2003, 02:45 PM »
Well, unfortunately, I will be getting this too. I passed on the Bounty Hunter 4 pack because all it had new was the EU swoop. But with the containment unit, I must have this set.
I just started head swaps when I participated in the artoosnews.com SH4. BTW, I could never force the new head back on. I ended up shaving the nob off bit by bit with finger nail clippers until it was small enough to fit back into the head hole. Luckly, it was still large enough that the head wasn't loose.
Anyway, I will either customize or give the 4 figures to my son or something. I would have much preferred them doing a little extra like they did in the previous 4-packs and either give different heads with the jedi or given us the 3 previously release jedi padawans with 3 new heads... something different.
