OSF Funnies (continuously updated)

Seeing Vin Diesel dance would make me laugh.

Not really 1/6, but based on action figures
I forgot the episode, but it was funny seeing a bunch of cobra troopers relaxing, watching tv, playing pool, and one drinking coffee and eating a potato or a really large empanada

Very cool GubernatorFan.  

Thanks for all the entertainment here !

Glad you like it, Bad Wolf and Ephiane!

Meryl, I have been wondering if the animated image could be reproduced in sixth-scale, but apart from the sourcing of the right items, I suppose the facial expression would be a bit difficult to find... unless one of those Facepool heads works for it. But it does remind me, that given a little time, one could "translate" funny images and memes into sixth-scale as well...

I can say he was paid so much patience to hear the first 2 rules..... Hahahahahaaha

Kamiko and Pinky state The obvious.

Kamiko and Pinky make a discovery in the post apocalyptic desert wasteland.

It seems to remind Kamiko of something else however.

As Captain Obvious, I can only relate...

It never ceases to amaze me how post apocalyptic fiction seems to completely gloss over things like toilet paper. It's like no-one in "The Walking Dead" ever seems to go to the bathroom.

Very funny. And so true. I'd probably die within a day without a crap-load of TP (pun intended).

Hell, i think it would be one of the most valuable items in the post-apocalyptic black market.

Yes, even Jedi masters like Obi-Wan ( Ben ) Kenobi can get depressed...

Haha, GF!  

Btw... did you modify a HT Obi-Wan headsculpt??? It looks great! 

I'm still waiting for that figure...and have seen very little signs of it even in parted out form on ebay....  is it even out yet?? 

... and hide out on a remote planet almost no one has ever heard of, on an even more remote island.

Funny, but true bit, Guv. No wonder Hamill wasn’t happy with what they did to his character — yet it didn’t stop him from collecting that paycheck...

Yes, but not quite -- lie around all day (presumably your guilt would keep you from peacefully sleeping at least some of the time), for a generation (or what is it supposed to have been, 18 years?).

Thanks, glad you liked it. The sculpt is only modified in terms of having lost its integral neck so it could be used on all types of bodies. It is a really good sculpt, although the resemblance to Ewen McGregor is not always as strong as I'd like -- then again I don't remember that much from those movies (not a stab). Yes, the figure is out, I've seen it parted at both Toy Anxiety and Monkey Depot, got some pieces from both.

Exactly. Although I don't blame Hamill. If anyone deserved to benefit from these new travesties, it is people like him (and Ford and Fisher).

Ah, yes, that's what I meant... the de-necking. Well I'm glad to see that it worked so well. I want to do the same to a HT Anakin head, but still trying to figure out how to work around the longer hair in the back. :/

Regarding the likeness, I've seen some criticism of it, but it's not too bad. A bit 'idealized' I'd say but still better than many previous sculpts of Prequels-era Obi-Wan, that's for sure. Just like with the Anakin sculpt, while it was perhaps not 100% accurate likeness, it was still the best official one I'd seen so far. And this Obi-Wan sculpt looks great in your photos!

And good to know it's out... maybe I haven't see it here yet as it's taking a bit longer to arrive in the UK? I've just been getting anxious waiting for it to show up here finally...

Possibly it takes longer to arrive in the UK -- I can't really advise you there, as I wouldn't know. I think the sculpt is better in hand than in my photos, which do not not quite give it justice. I have reconstituted an HT Anakin, and think the likeness is amazing (but again, I don't remember these movies that well). I thought of modifying the neck on principle, but so far the long hair challenge has dissuaded me. It is possible to do the modification -- I've done it with others, though I can't think of the specifics right now -- just more difficult, as you have to slice from the inside out as opposed to the more natural outside in (but with the long hair remaining intact -- hopefully -- any resulting imperfections, though harder to fix, would be concealed).

Yeah I love the Anakin HS, I think it looks awesome and photographs really well.  I think the complaints about it were generally just that it looked somewhat different than the production pics, but that is pretty much normal, even for Hot Toys.... 

And that's a great idea to try modd'ing it from the inside.... what do you suggest to use to cut it? Just exacto knife on the heat-softened plastic like the others? 

Sorry to go on a tangent... now back to Kenobi drowning his sorrows... ;p

Yes, exactly. I just pulled it out of a box (you're in luck I was organizing recently so I found it very easily) and am looking at it. I think I'll give it a try and post the results in the head modification tutorial. Stay tuned.

As far as modifying the Anakin head sculpt, I would think it isn't really all that different from a head with shorter hair. Obviously you cut around the long hair, but then (as you keep heating the head up), you have to shave the inside of the neck and hair until you reach the desired depth to the neck, or chin, area. If that makes sense.

Oooh, I am excite.

The recent HT ROTJ Stormtrooper Review and comments inspired me to repost some old Star Wars funnies, of course slightly spruced up in a Special Edition! (Don't worry, they are no lamer than before -- we've got to learn from history's mistakes... Ahem...)







Hope you enjoyed them.

Haha, adorable!

Not only does their armor do nothing, Imperial Storm Troopers seem to be the worst marksmen in the galaxy. Imperial Stars Destroyers seem to have massive targeting problems with their weapons systems also. However did they conquer so much of their galaxy?

And they get taunted, too! Obi-Wan once said "only imperial stormtroopers can be that precise!" Then again, we know he's a liar, from a certain point of view. The stormtroopers are, in fact, a joke; perhaps more properly a caricature. Faceless enemies, labeled "bad guys," labeled a "threat," and targeted for easy elimination (open season on them) for the purposes of an overly facile and simplistic plot. As much as I love the Star Wars universe (of the Original Trilogy), I think those movies are blatant rebel propaganda. But, to answer your probably rhetorical question, technically they didn't conquer the Galaxy, just serve the new government that took over and transformed the Old Republic. And I suppose their clone trooper predecessors did eliminate the Separatists and massacre the Jedi (executing secret order 66), if you go with the Prequel Trilogy narrative.

Nice job, Guv. Even when I was 11 (when the first Star Wars came out), I was aware of the absurdity of trained professional soldiers being ridiculously bad shots compared to rookies.
