It was worthwhile living a laughable life just to set my eyes on the blistering sight…

CLICK FOR MORE

OK, so here we are… the final stretch. (I believe there’s a cardback, etc. still to come.) I also asked for a lavender sabre based on the Asajj Ventress or Maris Brood style. We’ll see if that makes it through the whole process. (I have very little experience in making toy lightsabers, just the Build Your Own Lightsaber set from Hasbro.)

For the record, I am not a Sith or a Dark Jedi (at least not yet). I had to pick a body, and, sadly, my head is too small for Gargan, so I picked Darth Nihilus knowing that he’s closer to my build (at least with the clothes on, I’m not so deep in the EU that I’d have any idea if Darth Nihilus doffs his clothing or anything). The good news is that the head is ball jointed, so I can (gently) test it out on some other bodies.

I’m sure there will be one final update for it before it is absorbed into the collection, and my friend Dan Curto over at Philip Wise Presents Rebelscum will be photographing it for their archive. (It wouldn’t be complete without it.) So feel free to enjoy my surreal existence. I’ll be busy whittling down Gargan‘s neck stump.

   Truly Amazing!  It looks fantastic!  I can’t wait to see the finished product

   As funny as that might have been in the short term (and perhaps you’re just flat out joking anyway)  I think that this choice has more longevity as interesting and cool, probably much less regret factor. Here’s hoping they get the saber right though!

   What the heck are you doing with your arm there? Waving to someone in the audience you’re not sure you recognize? Asking for the check, menacingly? Someone off screen about to throw you ball? Or not sure if now is the time for a good ol’ peace sign?

   I’m hailing a taxi, obviously. I’ve got to get to Roller Goth.
