I'm kinda shocked HT didn't hurry up on the 1:4 stuff they had though, considering they don't really delay the 1:6 stuff to much once they show it. I'm really excited to see how the burnt up Hayden head turns out.

He definitely doesn't like the prequels. (Or Jar Jar Binks). I figured that out when there was a thread about which SW characters you'd like to see in PF, I said a bunch of prequel characters, and Jar Jar because I still like that goofy bastard, and I'd like to see some company make an awesome collectible of him. Needless to say, you can figure out what he and every one else said after that .

Yeah, I think Jango might have gotten canned lol.

I even shocked myself on that Lex prediction!



I was hoping Deadpool would have come with an unmasked head. That would have been a definite sale for me. I think I'll still get him, but I can't guarantee it yet.

I don't get why Sideshow is so obsessed with the Captain Morgan pose. Its getting ridiculous. But I do think it looks pretty awesome on Lex. And his base looks like its going to be phenomenal!

It would be awesome if he had a swap out hand holding Superman's cape for the EX.

A swap out hand holding Superman's cape would put it over the top!

Jar-Jar may be annoying, but I would buy a figure of him. He's really cool looking design wise. I actually saw that Terryl Whitlach (who had a hand in designing Jar-Jar and Sebulba) will be at Emerald City Comic Con. Definitely going to check out her table.

Hey Lou, how is the New Year's crowd at your gym?

The pose just looks so perfect for holding the cape. If SS doesn't include it, I hope someone is at least able to make a custom that everyone can get.

Yup, I've always thought he had one of the coolest looking designs. I know the character isn't for everyone, but i think he would look pretty cool displayed with everyone else.

I remember her from some of the behind the scenes Star Wars videos when they were talking about character designs.

Figures! I tell ya man! Make 500 JJB PF's and that thing will sell out and be huge on the aftermarket. Yeah, she called him a stuck up prick who thinks his S doesn't stink, LOL!

HT is killing me with the TFA 1/6 line. Just killing me! Those likenesses are just so good! Have to wonder if they do indeed have any 1/4 plans for that movie.

Dude! I'm trying to be patient with the newbies. Had to tell a group of guys just today to put their weights away. I know some things they just don't know, but to me it is just common sense.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I want a JJB PF or 1:2 bust! Even a 1:1 bust would be a must buy for me.

LOL! Thats awesome! He seems kind of like a prick. There are people over on that forum that seriously kiss his ass.

Maybe they'll do a 1/4 Kylo. But they are releasing 1:4 stuff at the same rate as SS, so its possible Ep. IX might be out by the time they get to him.

I think its safe to say the 1:2 bust line is completely dead forever. We can hardly get SW PFs out of this company for Christ's sake! LOL.

Maybe JJB will finally get some love in another decade or so. There will be kids that grew up on the prequels that will finally acquire enough money by then that will want some nostalgic high end collectibles. Then there might finally be enough demand for someone to make a JJB.

I just contacted someone to see about getting one commissioned for an estimate. I know MYC doesn't want to make one, or I woulda contacted him. Will let you know what I hear.

You're probably right! Along with the dios I bet! I forgot we also got those 2 McQ PO's last year. Did anyone order those? LOL!

How sad! Should be the other way around.

Dude! That would literally be the most awesome thing ever! I wonder if the response will be something like "why the hell would you want JJB". .

LMAO! I even forgot about the McQ stuff.

I think everyone did.

He's worked on pieces for SS in the past, and now that I've said that, you may know who I mean. I'm thinking the piece would be about $1000.

I guess I'm not really familiar with SS's sculptors because I don't know who it is LOL. This would be so awesome if he would do it. I think that price would be pretty reasonable for a custom.

Well, not a peep so far. Either he doesn't need the cash, doesn't want to do it, or both! LOL!

BTW, you see the new Mission Impossible? Rogue Nation?

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

My STARKILLER! All washed and waxed!

LOL. I can't even say I'm surprised anymore. F'ing haters have done everything they can to ruin that character for everybody. Now nobody wants to associate themselves with JJB. That sucks.

I still haven't seen it yet. I absolutely loved Ghost Protocol. I've actually loved all of them. Its on my to-get list.

BTW, I saw this the other day on Yahoo:

https://www.yahoo.com/movies/lucasfilm-confirms-star-wars-force-181303277.html

It confirms everything you thought about Finn's training, and it also gives a lot more info into the stormtrooper he fought.

My STARKILLER! All washed and waxed!

Oh sweet Jesus its gorgeous!!!!!!!!

Your roads and weather look so much different than mine right now .

So how fast have you had it up to?

162mph, but that was when I was in Mexico last week. LMAO!

It was 37 degrees when I took the pic. The previous day, it was foggy as hell with overcast, and a couple degrees colder. No moisture though, so rode the bike to my kids Volleyball tournament to a city about an hour away. This was one of those days I was telling you about where we get crappy weather for 4-5 days, then we get a decent day, then we get a full sunny day like this. Starting tomorrow, it is another 4-5 days of rain, LOL!

Thanks man. Don't know if you can make it out in the pic, but I have the red spikes going around the windscreen. Plan on adding more to other parts like I mentiond before. Just ordered an M4 GP slip-on exhaust too so that big ass grey thing won't be on there by the end of next week.

Nice! Very reminiscent of how the Clones were trained. Which makes me wonder. We know how and where the Clones were raised and trained, but where are the First Order troops raised and trained? Starkiller Base? Or, somewhere else similar to Kamino?

Ghost Protocol was awesome, and Rouge Nation is just as good. You remember the scene in the trailer where you see Cruise holding on to the outside of a plane while it is taking off?

It is probably a good thing though. I would want someone who loves making statues to make mine, not someone who would turn their nose up at certakn characters.

Whoa I didn't even know you went to Mexico. Did you ride all the way down there?

Well if it makes you feel any better I just got snow, snow, and more snow . It was -2 degrees this morning lol.

Awesome! See if you can get someone to record a video of your bike as it goes by so I can hear what the new exhaust sounds like when you get it.

The spikes are really cool. I still say go for a Maul theme.

Yeah I remember the trailer. That part looked really awesome. I will definitely be seeing this, just don't know when yet.

The only reason I mention it is that was really him on the outside of a plane as it really took off! I've always admired Cruise for taking risks with his stunts, and that one just blew my mind! Mad respect for that guy.

It's going to be a STARKILLER bike. 1138, on the plate and in front near that big ass headlight, and STARKILLER along the lower sides. Was thinking about symbols and stuff to put on the black part of the bike, and decided that I'll do a bunch of small ones from the OT, PT, ST, and pretty much any of them that are canon and will fit on the bike. So, that way it will show love for all the movies.

Will definitely be recording a vid. I think it will arrive this Thursday. Right on my birthday in fact, LOL!

See, I don't mind it being that cold, I'd be more upset about the snow. I can still ride in subfreezing weather as long as there isn't any moisture on the ground, but snow, HELL NO! LOL! I don't know how you guys do it there. We get 2 inches of snow, and all the news here breaks out with their "Winter Storm Warning Watch!" LMAO!

No, didn't ride to Mexico. Just something bikers say when they go that fast to keep from getting in trouble here in the states.

That guy has got balls thats for sure! I think he does like 90% of his own stunts. I hope I don't read one day that he has become a splat on the pavement though.

A bunch of different symbols sounds like an awesome idea! That way you can cover all the movies and hopefully everyone that sees the bike will see something they like. It will also help keep you out of a murderous rage mode if someone says that the single thing you could have picked sucks.

Awesome! Can't wait to see the vid!

People still drive like 15 over here even if its in the middle of a blizzard lol. You should see how amped people get that have SUVs once the first snowfall hits. I once saw a dude in a Jeep Wrangler go flying through a turn at an intersection at like 25 and he spun out immediately, and almost went over the curb and crashed into a house, but still continued to do donuts in the middle of the road afterwards.

LOL! I was like WTF when did he go to Mexico. LMAO.

HAHA!

Yeah, people do that crap here too. Drive too fast in the pouring rain when there's zero visibility, with their lights off, and wonder why they got into an accident.

I figured something to emcompass all the movies without actually putting "Star Wars" all over the bike would be cool.

You know that's probably how he'll go out. We'll hear about it on the news, "Tragedy struck on the set of the new Mission Impossible movie today, as Tome Cruise...." right? Mad respect though. I've always liked the guy. Not many have the balls to do what he does.

 

[STARKILLER 1138]

So, I was chatting with my "inside source" friend via Skype, and we of course talked about TFA and EPVIII. He said that the reason we didn't see alot of Luke in TFA was due to him not being in the shape "they" wanted, so we will see alot more of him in EPVIII. He dropped another tidbit of info which some may consider to be a spoiler, so

Spoiler

he also said we will see alot more action from Luke in EPVIII

. Again, this is the same person who told me about Starkiller Base, but since we are well over a year from EPVIII in theaters, I'm sure things can change.

Yeah I always liked Cruise too. He may get goofy sometimes and jump up and down on Oprah's couch, but he's still a cool guy lol.

That makes sense. I thought Hamill might have been a bit too much out of shape to do any kind of heavy lightsaber fighting. I also heard this week that the original Arndt script was much more Luke-heavy, but they cut back the character a lot because it felt like he would be taking all the focus off of the other newer characters.

That seems to line up then with what my source said. What you heard would be the PC press release version, and my source would be the "insider" behind the scenes version, LOL! IMO, he doesn't need to be in great shape, just in good enough shape to move around. If Alec could do it, I don't see why Mark couldn't.

Yeah, he's a goofy f'er but very likable.

LOL! Remember I had a feeling way before that he might have been out of shape. Maybe it took them too long to get the big 3 back together for this and that wasted precious time to get Mark into any kind of fighting shape. I know Alec was right around the same age that Mark is right now, but I don't think Alec ever let himself go as much as Mark did. Mark has basically just been doing voice work for the last 2 decades, and I don't think he's been avoiding the cake at all LOL.

I've been hearing a lot of speculation about Snoke for the past few weeks:

Spoiler

Some people are thinking he is Plagueis, and I can see them going that route. But some people are thinking he's Vader??? I'm pretty sure Vader is one character that is going to stay dead. They brought back Maul, but I don't think they will do the same for Vader.
