OH. MY. GOD. Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust. Also, inspiring, as I hope to do a custom Twilek or three myself someday. But mostly lust. My only real problem is that the ear knobs are too high. Not high enough to kill the lust, tho.
Yes, I am once again trolling eBay, looking at Star Wars shit. It happens. And I’m blaming this particular instance on the fact that Asajj finally arrived the other day. Week. Something. The point is, she came, and I love her, and she’s much nastier in person than in the prototype pictures, but given the character, that’s really kind of a good thing.
It’s made me want to work on collecting/creating the girl dolls, though. I still haven’t satisfied my desires for Maul and the Qui/Dala Defense of Naboo 2-pack, but the 2-pack only occasionally shows up, and there’s like, 4 different 1:6 Mauls, so deciding 100% on one can be problematic. The original has an unfortunate tat gaff that results in him looking surprised, the Sideshow one is awesome but expensive, the Speeder one is perfect, but, well, comes with a speeder, which I don’t want; and the death-scene one is actually good, aside from the whole splits-in-half thing, which I find kind of off-putting. We won’t even start on my longing for a Plo Koon, because the resulting whining noise is kind of embarrassing, and scares my cat.
So, anyway, the girls. Not that there’s many to collect, unless one wants every last version of Amidala and Leia, which….no. I have a ‘Dala, although I admit I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on the black-gown Portrait Edition one as well, and I want precisely one Leia — the ceremonial garb one, because it is my favoritest Leia outfit ever. And aside from them, they really only made five females that I’m aware of, two of which I have. And the Zam Wesell doll is horrid. Like, even the SW bounty hunter fans hate it, its that bad. If I did get her, I’d probably just take her stuff and try to make my own. So that really just leaves Barriss and Aurra. I wish I was more into Aurra, really, she seems cool, I’ve just never had much of a hard-on for the bounty hunters.
AND OH MY GOD IT IS REALLY FUCKING HARD TO KEEP A TRAIN OF THOUGHT WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING IN EVERY FIVE SECONDS TO SHOW YOU THE LATEST THING THEY ARE THROWING OUT FROM THE CABINET. IT JUST TOOK ME TWENTY MINUTES TO DO THE SECOND HALF OF THE LAST PARAGRAPH AND I KNOW THEY CAN SEE ME TRYING TO TYPE HERE.
Fuck it. I give up.
