 Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.
Biggs with a flocked mustache!  Sweetest mustache this side of the Bespin system! Of course the best "stache" on the other side of the system belongs to Lando, who would also make a fine Jumbo. He could shoot real Colt 45 out of a can he would hold right into your mouth, so you could get bombed and try to hit the cat with his flying fist like someone mentioned a few pages ago.  Just think!

 Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.
Walter Sobchack is a direct descendant of Jek.  I, recently, made this discovery whilst researching the genealogy of my personal heroes.

I really have not been able to regain control, not to mention I'm stuck in Cleveland surrounded by snow and weed, sometimes these things happen... I blame it on circumstances

I have been waiting for this for ...a year? two? And now I'm skipping the pre-order, because of the quote above... So - Any news on the european distribution yet?

 Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.
Oh man, I've been trying to avoid looking in this thread lately cause my $$$ will be tied up for a while (new compressor, supplied air respirator, airbrush) then the very time I decide to peek I see Alex's pic with the Stormtrooper, GAH!

How likely are color variants as opposed to a new character? This is what I'm most curious about... seems like they'd want to get at least one repaint out of the toolings, and the Sandtrooper would be perfect.

Just speculating, but I guess a Sandtrooper would need pauldrons and other geek detailing to make it right . . . . a black Shadow Stormtrooper would be even more perfecterererer if they wanted to make the most of the tooling!
