Merchandising Is Forever

Your blog is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I love how you reblog your own stuff with other people's amusing comments. What's your favorite Star Wars alien? I'd have to go with greedo!

Thanks! Yeah, it’s cool how this blog has become a place for people to discuss, celebrate, and make fun of the figures.

Hmmm. I’d say the Wampa is my favorite alien, because I’ve always loved making snow forts, and he basically lives in a snow fort. But I wonder if he would “self-identify” as an alien?

Don’t forget to “use the force [trademarked] Luke Skywalker [trademarked].”

I tried to find one for my girlfriend's birthday after misremembering it and fell far short of this goal.

Haha. That is the saddest story I’ve ever heard. People have made “custom” figures of Mon Mothma, if it makes you feel any better. Did your girlfriend immediately break up with you for not being able to find one?

Weird they did a General Madine but never a Mon Mothma in the original line.

Wait, how did you “find this out the hard way?”

Stellar work! So... once you finish the original SW toy line head shots, are you going post the full body action figure scans as gifs? Because that would be epic!

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:11:00 -0400

It would be epic. The only problem is that tumblr doesn’t let you post GIFs larger than 500x500 or 1MB, so it might be hard to see the detail. That is partially why I went with only their faces to begin with. Also the face is where the emotion is. And their eyes are windows to the soul, blah, blah, blah. But, yeah, I’m still hoping to try that. Stay tuned!

Ugh, he’s the only Star Wars character I irrationally hate.

(hate of Jar Jar is perfectly rational)

Now I'm extra astounded by this... I just noticed that the heads of the figures move in a seemingly orchestrated way. This indicates that you go through all of the scans and not only crop them to size and all that but place them in the animated gif so the movement is smooth. I'm just glad your putting that energy into this and not inventing death rays (as far as we know)

Yup, that’s right, I position every single frame that you see by hand. It’s tedious, but that’s how I roll. Glad you noticed :)

It looks like foam would be forming in their mouths.

And those black, soulless eyes. Man, there were some creepy Star Wars toys.

And everyone was talking trash about Admiral Ackbar.

Do you have all the figures you need ? Do you need anyone to help find any for you? Are you willing to trade extras of figures after you are done utilizing them?

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 17:43:00 -0400

As of now I have all the figures I need. Thanks for offering. I don’t currently have any figures to trade, but I’ll let you know if I do. Are you a collector?
