Wow, that's a lot of responses in a short amount of time. First of all, thanks for all the kind words and encouragement. Second, thanks for all the advice. I've decided that the right thing to do would be to offer the figure to a board member at cost, plus shipping. So, nash, pm sent. For...

Well, I had to make a pretty tough collecting decision this week. Just recently, I became engaged to a wonderful, beautiful girl, and just this past week, we were approved for our first apartment together. While this is great news for us both, to do this and continue collecting the spectacular...

In no real order: 1. Eeth Koth (Agen Kolar would also be acceptable, I suppose) 2. General Grievous (I agree that, with enough work, this character could be made, perhaps not in 2007, but certainly at some point) 3. Aayla Secura 4. Yoda (Senate Duel) 5. Darth Sidious (Chancellor's Office or...

Neither. Both have their place in the grand order of things. As for the whole OT-PT conflict, I love both but favor the PT more. The characters, worlds, and conflicts are more interesting to me personally. The Clone War is much more fascinating to me than the Galactic Civil War. However, it...

Seems I'm close to alone here, but I think there is something delightful about the pose. It just strikes me as very Grievous-like. After all, Grievous was a marksman before he was a swordsman. Not even close to the SSC version, but not terrible.

Qui-Gon? Neat... The sculpt doesn't look quite as nice as the GG bust, but still quite good. Its nice to see Master Jinn getting some notice this year.

All four Sith? Lets see... Vader, with his decreased speed once encased in his life-sustaining armor, and that suit's clear weakness against Sith lightning (it did destroy Vader, after all) would quickly fall to either Tyrannus or Sidious. I could forsee Dooku having some trouble with Maul...

I have a feeling that not only would Yoda easily defeat pre-suit Vader, but that he would not hesitate to make a "finishing blow" like Obi-Wan did. As a matter of duty, Yoda would have brought down Vader just as nonchalantly as that impaled clone he rode to the ground at the Jedi Temple. While...

First, I thought I'd say the Cyber-Maul tale from Visionaries is stamped as Infinities, meaning that it does not have a true place in the Star Wars continuity. Its merely a neat, slightly goofy little story based off the unused concept of Darth Maul returning in AOTC or ROTS after his initial...

I wouldn't say I disdain the OT. I like the films just as much as the PT, and tend to have a hard time looking at the six episodes individually as opposed to one cohesive whole. However, when it comes to collecting, I find that I'm just more fond of the PT characters. I grew up watching the...

Qui-Gon and Saesee are eventual must-haves, but my complete lack of interest in any OT offerings really leads me to hope for Lando or Leia. It would be nice to have another break after Mace like Han was before. Chances are I'll be picking up all the Sith except for Vader, so the more OT...

Hmm... According to the pictures, the Episode I lightsaber seems to have a purple blade as well. I was hoping for a more accurate blue blade. Nice that the hilt was included, though.

Only twelve minutes. Not as fast as Kit, but that is to be expected, I suppose.

It seems as though Mace includes his blue lightsaber (at least the hilt) as well as his AOTC-ROTS purple saber. That is astounding attention to detail on SSC's part. This may well become my favorite offering in the SW line so far. Fantastic. Simply fantastic.

Just went back and watched Mace VS Sidious, and sure enough, Windu only loses his hand.:bow I find that vaguely...disappointing. Not sure why. Either way, Mace looks great so far. I sense that this will not be as quick nor as easy as Kit.

Oh, I know that, gdb. However, Mace lost his arm to Anakin, not just his hand. I'm wondering if Mace is a "definitive" AOTC-ROTS version like Kit, and if so if he'll feature a removable forearm akin to Anakin's. Any chance of getting an answer on this one? ;)

Officially thrilled. One of my favorite characters, and the first out of my top ten most wanted figures from SSC. This is a definite buy for me. Jango's head, if that truly is the exclusive, isn't too much of a draw for me, but I suppose I'll try for it for continuity. I wonder if he'll have...

I'm still not certain "Heroes of the Rebellion" applies strictly to the OT. Has this been officially stated yet?

Stan Winston and his crew's designs for the Jurassic Park dinosaurs, while accurate in many ways, are unique enough to be distinguished from a "generic" dinosaur. The dilophosaurus is a perfect example, as the head and jaw shape is wildly inaccurate and distinctive to Jurassic Park (especially...
