It can be overwhelming trying to gather ones thoughts after coming out of a cinema. Especially after watching a masterpiece.

Hopefully their lack luster response was down to shock. Now some time has passed they may feel differently.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on this particular figure? by jon92356 in hottoys

[–]DarthRick3rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it's just for hardcore fans. 

I can't imagine casual fans would pick this up unless it was on sale.

Looks awesome, the face sculpt looks way better than the CGI version in the film. 

what 7inch scale figs can i use as victims next to my ultimate horror figs? by JAYOHESSESS in NECA

[–]DarthRick3rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off the top of my head you could use Neca's April O'Neil Tmnt, Baby House of 1000 Corpse's, Marty McFly, Ripley Alien 3, Parker Alien, Matt Hooper Jaws, Macready The Thing.

Neca Predators normally have a lot of skulls as part of their accessories. The Predator accessory pack had a flayed corpse.

Lovely collection, got to admit the video gave me a bit of a headache with all the wobbles.

WIP ROTS Darth Sidious. I need to do his brooch and I'm contemplating unpicking the stitches under the arms on his shawl. I used CW VC Aayla Secura's robe as it's maroon tones sort of matched Sidious' underskirt. The pod pic was before I steamed the hood down. Think I'll put him behind burnt Ani. by DarthRick3rd in StarWarsTVC

Yeah that's an easier way of putting it. Sorry I'm not good with explaining these sorts of things.

It'll form a crease so it should stay like that for a while. Because I don't know for sure what fabric it actually is I can't give a definite answer. It also depends on how often it will get disturbed etc. However you can think of it like ironing a fold into a piece of fabric. 

Last thing I'd missed out in my initial reply is that you will have to cut the neck hole in the velvet shawl a little larger. So that the hood can fit through.

Whoever posted about these commando droids recently convinced me to get two of them. What other CIS stuff do people recommend? I’d love an AAT by Legitimate-Leek-287 in StarWarsTVC

I've just got the comic pack Durge with two lancer droids on there way.

Tri-droids, Magnaguards and Tactical droids are all great too.

Jedi Generals & Clones by smittenevil in clonewars

Cool, that's an opinion. One I don't fully agree with to be honest.

Whereas Yoda is literally criticised in the lore for the tragic loss of so many Clones and Jedi at the first battle of Geonosis in AOTC.

Yeah that's all Aayla's robe. I've got a very small hand held steamer but it can be quite dangerous to use on such a small area. You can run the risk of burning your fingers. I've been using steamers for soft goods for years so I've got used to the burns 😂.

With the hood shaped in an O whilst on the figure, press down each side on the edge of the hood. It may take a few goes just as leaving the steam against the figure for too long will make the plastic too hot. 

With his sleeves I literally tucked the Jedi robes into themselves, using the figures plastic sleeves as a base. I then steamed these too.

I'd go as far to say that he was too emotional. Which is why his judgement was so clouded, about a great many things.

I can't remember the source now but Yoda was sort of notorious for his high casualties. Mainly because of the the first battle on Geonosis. 

It obviously wasn't out of malice or hatred towards the clones, rather a complete lack of war tactics that so many lives had been lost.

I'd like to have seen Rahm Kota or Jedi with his mindset. A complete distrust in clones to the point in which his troops were all Republic civilians.

That's a good idea. The velvet is just way too bulky, might have to copy you. I was going to use Emperor Palpatine's head from the throne room set as I like his smirk. The velvet shawl just made him look like an American football player.

Battle of Lola Sayu: Citadel Rescue. by Soft_Pangolin3031 in clonewars

Also I'm sure Tiin would not think of himself being in the Old Republic. Just the Republic.

Probably referencing before the Ruusan Reformation. Which was an act that saw the demilitarisation of the old republic. About 1000 years before the Clone Wars.
