    Hm, I dunno. Sucky has been doing Star Wars riffs for a lot longer than S7, unless you meant to refer to how S7 used to sell non-S7 Star Wars toys.

    Habbit was referring to Gentle Giant not Sucklord.

    blame it on kirkland. he fooled me.

    from having played with these all through childhood,
    id say foto looks stretched photoshopped whatever,
    out of proportion.

    Huh. Now that ya mention it, it does look a wee bit stretched....but all the details are otherwise identical to the original figure...and I see none of Gentle Giant's joints they supposedly are adding.

    Anyway, I just hope we can all agree that the spraycan dude is awful. When the fuck did graf writing become stupid hipster self-promotion?

    i don't think this is a picture of a 3.75" trooper. I think this is the 12" toy. why would Gentle Giant show a picture of the original 3.75" toy to promote it's new 12" toy for SDCC?

    Well, was the Gentle Giant toy supposed to be JUST a blown up version of the original figure? I got the impression that "scanned...then reproduced to a fully articulated 12" tall figure" implied that they were gonna add some joints. If so, I don't see any joints.

    Here's your pic next to a photo of the original figure:

    Look pretty fucking identical to me...albeit a bit stretched vertically...

    my read is that it was going to be EXACTLY like the 3.75" vintage but in 12" form.

    I mean despite where he is now, Fairey has been involved with graffiti as a whole for quite a long time so as dumb as this toy is, I can't say he is outside of his zone with this.

    Good call. I just read some press release thing (on RebelScum?) that said pretty much that. So...if that is truly an unaltered photograph, you're right: the proportions have been stretched out a tiny bit. Looks like the Stormtrooper's been doing the South Beach diet!

    Alex, fair enough regarding this dude's writing career...can't take that away from the man. But like they're discussing in the other thread, the brand-is-art thing is pretty disgusting...and is hardly "street".

    Never thought I would come to Frank's defense, but didn't he do all the busts in a rainbow of colors?

    Did Marusan invent the color spectrum?
