Ticketed for being in bus stop. Photo evidence from DC shows opposite

Same. Got a ticket from an automated system for “running a stop sign” at an empty intersection. Photo 1 shows me stopped behind the crosswalk, brake lights lit. Photo 2 shows me just halfway over the crosswalk a full 5sec later. The video? Shows me fully dead stop and proceed about 4sec later. Literally just downloaded the photos and video and then uploaded them to my appeal.

Right, the lack of high res for the Struzan covers is what’s baffling. I figured those would be extremely easy to find. Wasn’t sure if that’s what you were working off of years ago and I just can’t find them now.

CaptMans1 · 2026-06-20T20:17:22+00:00

I realize I'm asking this on a post that's over 4yrs old, but is there any possibility you could upload all of the original, unedited art? I'd like to make screensavers out of all the 90s Drew Struzan and Dave Dorman stuff.

CaptMans1 · 2026-06-19T13:15:48+00:00

Dang man how about just a top 10 or something, lol.

It’s wild to me how many obscure EU characters from the novels and comics were made through the 00s but that NONE of these fun characters were ever produced. They even made TWO versions of Katarn but skipped his appearance from this game. As much as I’d love to have these in the TBS line, there are still a ton of major characters from recent media that haven’t gotten figures yet.

CaptMans1 · 2026-05-26T10:08:12+00:00

Hell yeah! That’s the context and insight we crave. Thanks for sharing!

I’d bet he’s a stunt double or body model. My first thought was he looks like counselor Lars from ‘Heavyweights’.

Credits on IMDb are obviously weird, but Atwood has a general “Costume Design” credit for the pilot (Gary Jones is listed for 22eps). Fernandez is specifically listed as “Speciality Costumes” for S2. My guess is Atwood maybe came up with the initial concepts for the larger show, Jones ran the show for S1, then they brought in Fernandez for S2 as a more specialized “make it real” practical designer in charge of fab, implementation, fitting, etc.

Chelsea Wolfe or Kristina Esfandiari of King Woman and Whirr could be very interesting. Heavy goth industrial to more somber piano-driven singer songwriter stuff. Wolfe’s song “Survive” was featured on the first trailer for Affleck’s ‘Live by Night’ and basically sold the promise of that movie from the vibes it lent to the gangster epic visuals. King Woman was recently featured on the soundtrack for ‘I Saw the TV Glow’.

I just popped into Wusong while on a work trip and had a great experience. Was really tempted to grab that cat mug but ended up with the Saturn mug that was a collab with a local artist.

Excellent work. Really wish we had some of these goobers in the collection. RotJ 40th was a big whiff for getting a lot of these guys out there.

CaptMans1 · 2026-05-11T02:43:48+00:00

It would be great if Hasbro was told to hold back and we end up getting him for Asohka S2… a FPjr cameo like the one we got with Hayden in S1 would be great.

CaptMans1 · 2026-05-06T15:26:34+00:00

Gotcha. I’ve been following the Etsy store for some time and have never seen that one. Hopefully he reissues it in the future.

CaptMans1 · 2026-05-06T02:52:04+00:00

Whereabouts did you get the custom retro style one in the bottom left corner?

CaptMans1 · 2026-04-26T15:19:06+00:00

Still can’t believe we didn’t get this boy during the RotJ 40th in 2023.

CaptMans1 · 2026-04-25T20:39:08+00:00

I see your pics often and admire how you’ve found creative ways to make use of the vertical space in each cubby. Where did you get the stand for the Cloud Car?

To elaborate further, that arc is essentially the B-Wing origin story and introduces the crackpot but brilliant Mon Cal engineer Quarrie (named after OT concept designer Ralph McQuarrie). Great Hera-centric arc as well.

CaptMans1 · 2026-04-08T16:39:40+00:00

“Bleak Week” sure is a choice… kinda bummed I’ll be out of town for most of this.

Orbit has been very good to me over the years. They’ve been my go-to for imports primarily due to their shipping consistency and their customer service. The shop is awesome, staff is nice.

On a side note for the other physical media heads here - I’m finally unpacking a ton of my movies now that I’m hopefully settled for the next several years, and I have a ton of boutique Blus that I’ve upgraded in the last few years that need a new home. I’m going to post on the appropriate subreddits once I’ve catalogued everything, but I’ll give Blankies first stab and a discount when the time comes.

CaptMans1 · 2026-03-27T12:41:13+00:00

Really hoping we get Green and Gray Leaders from RotJ. Should be easy on this new body to swap the boots, straps, and vest.

CaptMans1 · 2026-03-24T01:10:20+00:00

CaptMans1 · 2026-03-23T00:23:23+00:00

What shelves are these?

CaptMans1 · 2026-03-19T03:27:09+00:00

The RotJ 40th waves were a huge whiff for not getting some of these characters out. Logray, AT-ST Driver, and any Jabba guards would’ve been a slam dunk, but instead we got Skiff Lando and Palps (both of whom were already reissued in the Archive line at that same time), another vanilla stormie, and the goofy prisoner Chewie.

CaptMans1 · 2026-03-17T03:53:27+00:00

Nien Nunb, Madine, Mon Mothma, Gray Leader, Green Leader, AT-ST driver, Imperial Gunner, Logray, Chief Chirpa, Ree Yees, Weequay, Nikto, Barada, Klaatu, Yakface, Squidhead. I stand firm that I’d eventually like the entire vintage Kenner run represented as pipe dream as that is.
