    Ah and it's all in the good faith that we send some belated St. Pat's cheer to Mr. Flynn and his crew o' rogues:

    Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.

    So will there be any sneaks of the packaging?
    I saw Brian's tweet saying approval was finished - can't wait...

    I'm going to dig out all my 70s / 80s figures this weekend!
    In full on Star Wars mode lately!

    That's what I did last weekend...forgot how much stuff I have!

    I even picked up the interactive R2-D2 (super cheap)...it will look nice next to the Jumbo Stormtrooper.

    :evil: What are you doing kid? Don't you know firing Godzillas fist onto the sidewalk is going to scuff the paint?

    Has anyone mentioned or seen the Trooper commercial on G4??? Sounds like they're gonna do a review of it. I had to do a double take. I'm watching Half Baked.

    Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.

    Yeah. It wasn't the actual review...but it was montaged in with a bunch of other things and then it showed a pic and said " And the worlds only Shogun Storm Trooper." I heard it while I had my head down, and the next time the sequence played I watched and there it was...a freakin sweet pic of the Jumbo Trooper. It was awesome.

    Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.

    It will not be easy to do. The martial these are made of don't lend themselves to being painted easily, that is the reason they come with stickers and the head is made of vinyl. If anyone wants to customize one of these I suggest buying an old beat up Jumbo 1st and practicing on it. Leecifer has been trying to figure out how to paint one but I don't think he has a great solution yet.

    Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.

    I could never imagine ruining one of these with a custom paint job but if you did want to.......http://www.uspaint.com/paints/substrate ... 5QodfnKlzg
    I would practice on a prolypropylene material first. Home depot usually has inexpensive pond liners you can probably pick up on the cheap.

    One might have to sand it down a little first for the paint to adhere properly, and that sounds like a terrible thing to have to do just to customize this toy.

    Hell yeah! So what's the "shipping container" going to be shipped in? I mean, that's gotta stay in mint condition too, right? :lol:
