A Change of Star Wars Heart....?

Dublinjeff · Dec 2, 2013

Just wondering if anyone had any figures they thought were crap as a Kid that have come to like years later. Maybe even 'Focus' on?

I always thought the likes of Ree Yees was a bit of a dull character as a kid but think its kind of a cool looking figure now.

Likewise, I reckon now that the At At Commander is a very well sculpted action figure, something you don't really appreciate as a child playing with a toy.

Just a thought

Used to hate 2-1b as a kid as could never find a use for him in play as I took no prisoners, but as an adut I can really appreciate just how much thought & attention to detail went in the the figure & after all FX-7 needs someone to boss him about :lol:

Imp Dig was **** and is still **** :wink:

There is none that I thought were crap that I would now focus on. I appreciate Madines sculpt more than I did as a kid, I am a Luke Farmboy fan too (thought he was shite as a kid) but in general what was cool then is still cool now and vice versa.

Not really. Still taken with the same ones I was back then - Tie Pilot, IG88, Fett, Greedo 8)

I suppose another aspect of this could well be the card back with the figure. Certain cards I look at now just look awesome compared to my memory as a little lad. I guess I was just too busy ripping them open as a kid to care for the packaging :lol:

All I know is I always hated FX-7 for some reason (maybe because he has no legs to walk or move around on). I never had one as a child and it's the last one I've picked up to complete my Palitoy 30 back run. As for the figures I liked as a child I think I still hold those dear to my heart and although I've never been much of an Ewok fan I do have a complete set of them all just because they make me laugh, maybe my mind has been changed slightly with them. Oh and I've always liked the large head Han which I know goes against most peoples Han preference, it's what I grew up with and it's just stuck with me!

4-LOM and Lobot have grown on me quite a lot over time.

Age has made me wonder if Lobot has chosen the camp side of the force. Who chose that shirt?

captainhancock · Dec 2, 2013

Yep 4-LOM I had him as a kid and didn't know who he was. Which is understandable as he looks nothing like his screen counterpart. I thought he might be a shitty version of the Sand People.

Now I think hes cool, he's a pretty snappy dresser with that cream overcoat. What a pimp.

Well Lobot and Lando had what can be described as a special relationship. They could communicate with just a furtive glance after all.

Shocking :shock:

Can't believe I missed that, I bet Lobot hated Nien Nunb :lol:

I've just started an fx-7 focus!

Glad to hear you have a change of heart on ree yees Jeff

in all fairness wasn't fond of the character as a child, but now looking back... Well we all know how that's gone!

Well I suppose Lobot had his reasons for staying behind in Cloud City, he was very attached to the city's central computer after all. I guess space relationships are complex. Just look at the Skywalkers.

Lando General and Biker Scout have grown on me but I still am not a fan of IG88 Dengar or Bossk

JuniorChubb · Dec 3, 2013

Liam Bossk is awesome :shock:

I suggest you rethink your opinion on that one :wink:

Dark Sith Lord · Dec 3, 2013

:lol:

I think I am in the minority but I just don't see the appeal :?
