I just unearthed my previous iPhone which had pics from SDCC 2010...
hey Alex, know this guy hanging around the EFX booth?

 

[Dearth]

Never seen those! Neat!

He's got a few details on the helmet looking off-model, and the body proportions could be better, but I gotta give him points on using an egg slicer for the chest box.

Once they're uploaded, just cut and paste the image, that works too.

I like ToyStory-- in fact I like most Disney movies and pretty much all of the Pixar ones.

Most of my Disney collection, though, centers around the theme park exclusives. I've got complete collections of the Haunted Mansion figures, Pirates of the Caribbean (ride) figures, and lots of PVC sets and figure sets of various attractions. I have a set for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, for example.

Right now, I'm nearly going broke on the new Star Tours merchandise. I have a buddy in Anaheim who gets me most of it with his discount, so it's a little easier to justify financially. And I can't wait for the figure-scaled StarSpeeder 1000 playset or the Muppets-as-Star-Wars figures come this fall.

So knowing my obsessive tendencies, and how many toy lines I collect, I felt it best not to buy any Toy Story 3 figures for fear I wouldn't stop until I had them all!

Alas, most of our Disney collection is boxed at the moment, to keep it safe during some minor home repairs, but I hope to begin displaying it again eventually.

cool, I used to have a bunch of pvc figures but when I started to collect the muppets I decided I would only buy good quality toys with ariculation, so now I just have muppets, star wars, and toy story. I prefer toy story one and two, than three, so I'm not buying any toy story 3 characters.

let me try one more time with the photo

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

thanks Dearth.

I had this idea two nights ago at work, and it keeps nibbling around the edges of my consciousness...

I want to make a custom Snake Walker action figure!



So, I'm thinking he needs to be at minimum about 6.5" tall, but he could be a little bigger.

My first thought was an old Gabriel "Lone Ranger" collection Butch Cavendish figure, since he's already got the black pants, black shirt, and black boots. But those were about 10" tall, and I think that may be too big.

Any suggestions for a good-scale human figure to use? Preferably one with a fedora? I looked at some wrestling figures at Target last night, but they all seemed too muscular. The 7" Disney Indiana Jones also popped to mind.
