I’ve been watching a lot of dramas set in that era so thought there may have been a movie set I was missing! I’ve seen figures of Kpop idols and there is one of the kings: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/m/10257432

The gat needs to be see through so I think I will have to suck it up and make the entire thing! After I finish modding something else


ETA: I can’t find many South Asian or Indian headsculpts for another kitbash either...

I think it’s still hard to access and expensive for a lot of people though, plus there is extra work involved in order to make the items useable (sanding, etc), so it’s perhaps not as prevalent as it could be, yet.

Here’s AerynDiana’s current thread about trying out 3D printing:

Valiarde it definitely takes time to fine tune the output of a printer, but you can tinker a little with 3D modelling and send the file off for someone else to deal with all the bed adhesion issues, jamming, retraction problems etc.

Yeah, that's about as close as I've found as well.  I tried drilling out the cylinder on a similar one this weekend to make my own chambers and completely destroyed it.  Requires a level of precision and control beyond me I think.  Thanks for looking though!  If anyone else has any suggestions, please send my way.

What did you use to do the drilling?  Maybe that's the problem.  I would be using a pin vise as opposed to any powered tool. I would also do the drilling from the muzzle end rather than the breech end as there are already holes (chambers) started.

I'm hoping to find one that is on the cheap or at least not-hideously-expensive side, though obviously still want it to be more or else 'to-scale' when standing next to 1/6 figures. I've considered everything from the old Kenner PotF figure from 1997, to Sideshow ones [though those are obvs. not cheap, lol], and more. Wondering if there are other 1/6 scale versions of him out there that I might not be aware of, since I'm guessing there are probably more recent 'toy line' type figures I have missed in my studious avoidance of most Disney merch. ;p

I think I even saw some app-controlled 'robot' versions advertised somewhere, though I don't necessarily need anything that fancy. As long as his 'legs' move into the basic standing or moving positions and he's the right scale, that would be enough.  

Eventually I'd be happy to own a high-end 1/6 version, but would be fine with something a bit more basic to use as a stand-in in the meantime. Suggestions are welcome.  

[Insert all the 'droid you're looking for' jokes here  ]

Hasbro did one in "close enough to" 1:6 in their recent "titan hero series" along with a different astromech in a tripple pack with C-3P0 and BB8, Sphero did the RC one which again is underscale but maybe close enough, Disney parks have one that is more a statue that acts as a sweet container, 7-11 in Japan also did a 1:6 astromech droid that again opens as a container. IIRC there may have also been an R2 soy sauce dispenser but dont remember how close it was scale wise

I was obsessed with astromechs as a kid for a while. Still have a first grade homework diary somewhere, where I made little astromech drawings on the bottom of each page. I think it were 250, I counted them before we officially learned there was a number as high as 250.

That was my skill peak in math, only got worse after that...

I'd been hoping to pick up the Super Duck 'Wolf Girl' head -- the one with the black hair -- but the seller I wanted to get it from disappeared for a while during the pandemic in China back in January, and when the sculpt was finally available again later on, I'd used up my budget for that month and had to wait a bit. Now, when I've gone looking for it again, it seems to be all sold out from the usual parted-out sellers. If anyone comes across it, please do let me know.

Is that the one that’s supposed to be Laura grown up?
