slave1pilot Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hey Nathan - didn't you do some custom painting on some action figures awhile back? I remember someone did a few years ago but (doh!) can't find the thread anymore.Yes I repainted the Kotobukiya (I can't believe it's been 2 years already) Here's the thread http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=...aint+kotobukiya The pics are gone, but I'll load some up after work tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6170 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have collected 1.6 scale figures on and off for all my life. I am curious to see what SS will do with the TD 12 INCH TD's so far I would love a good one to go with my Jaba's Palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD1009 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 New pictures here towards the bottom of the page. Look at that field pack! More proof this is Art and Gino inspired. Shame about the bubble lenses and of course the helmet looks the wrong shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Andrews Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Got some new pics in. They definitely copied my suit as they even included some of the non-screen accurate mistakes I made. I love it!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD1009 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Let's hope the production figures are close too. Congratulations Braks! That it quite an honor! You'll be asked to sign these I expect! I'm sure that the artists just see it as reference. I know artists use whatever they can but I think it's a shame they don't let you know.

While I doubt I will get it, I would love to get a letter from Sideshow saying they did reference my photos/armor for the figure. Would just be cool to have. The funny thing is, I don't even own that armor anymore! Groundstrooperr has it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually met him at one our Hard Rock Hotel parties at Comic Con last year. Arturo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandalorianWarrior87 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Congrats Art You'll need to change your name to "SideshowTrooper" now i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you may or may not know, Hasbro used my picture on the small action figure and I never got any recognition, no letter, not even a freebie from the company. A few people in the Legion said they would look in to it, but I never heard a thing. Regardless, I was honored and I still ended up buying about five of them (the different variants).

I have a couple of people trying to get me one of the figures. We will see. Again, the fact that they would use our replicas is kinda surreal to me. It may only be a very small part, but I now have a place in the SW universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Wars Helmets Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 no waaaaay! That is too cool. Art's a "toy boy" I'm jealous! Cheers Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Andrews Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 So... if I get one of these, and start recreating scenes from ANH... would I be... playing with myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caomhanach Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 My only problem with this figure is that is has been released too close after christmas... Seriously, who has money this time of the year (especially now...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD1009 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 It won't actually be shipped or credit cards charged until September when it comes out so there's plenty of time to save up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
