A while ago I had to make the decision to limit my 1/6 Original Trilogy collection to RotJ figures, since it was my most-watched SW movie as a kid.
I'm also steadily losing the ability to wait around for pre-ordered HT figures in general. It's just too stressful due to my increasingly uncertain financial situation.
That’s a bummer. Sorry to hear, S.
How are your custom SW characters coming along?
Thanks. I know I've been moaning about it for a while, but this past year has really put the nail in the coffin so to speak. I've had to accept that there's a certain level of 'disposable income' that is required in order to be a serious 'collector' at this scale, and I'm just not there at this present time. I used to have it, when I first started out in the hobby, but times just got too tough. So, my focus has been shifting almost exclusively to custom figures now. But at least things are much better in that area for Star Wars these days, since 3D printing has really taken off. That's the silver lining.... I may miss out on certain HT figures, but at least there are now a few more options when it comes to customising and kitbashing SW characters than there were in the past.
As for my customs, I just finished a commission I was working on and am now finally able to work on my own stuff again. Currently trying to put something together in time for May the Fourth. Don't know if I'll succeed in time, but even if it's a bit late I'll hopefully have something ready soon-ish. : )
Yikes. That is unfortunate. Hopefully things will turn around for you guys. Glad to hear you've been working on other things, though, and that maybe you'll have time to work on your own figures again.
! Congrats on this figure- always nice to unpack cool stuff and I can feel your excitement for it, which is enjoyable
