It seems everyone is desperate to get one of these. Hopefully Jnix will relent and do another run.
 
Best fwends! Love it!
Haha thanks!

I kinda feel bad for Jnix.
Not that I don't want everyone who wants one to have one, just that, it's a ton of work he's doing and with a community as "passionate" as ours, it can get pretty exhausting to see all the photoshop manipulations, all the constant PMs to hopefully get him to make just one more or a whole new run. I would just worry Jnix is going to get burned out that's all...then we will drive away another great artist.

Makes perfect sense, G, very good points...

I guess my only redirect would be that it's that same passion that leads to dozens of Photoshop manipulations, and special requests (and then poking fun at it all), that also allows us to justify spending an additional couple hundred bucks on custom sculpts and outfits for already incredibly expensive figures. So if you're going run with this crowd, I think you have to embrace the energy (and sometimes the nonsense) that goes with it.

No doubt there are days when any artist would like all of their admirers, arm-chair critics, and would be patrons to put a sock in it. But at the end of those days, I doubt they'd want us to stop being us....even when we become the occasional inconsiderate a-hole now and then!

And this Jnix fellow...he strikes me as being in on the fun a lot of the time. He's encouraged our feedback, and then taken it! One thing is for sure, he's earned our respect. If he would like us to change to tone of the conversation in the threads, and he makes that request, very few if any of us would think to deny him. It's even possible that we don't need to rescue him from us after all and that he's into all of it like the majority of us.

Anyway, I get what you're saying. I think it won't take much to get us to stop the insanity in terms of the recreational Photoshopping, etc if Jnix asks us to. I doubt we'll EVER get people from calling for another Han run, just because the sculpt was THAT good!
 
I really hope Jnix will revisit this later, not now. There's plenty of characters and options out there for him to do, what's next? a second run for luke? Then a 4th run of Han? I hope everyone who wants one gets one of course but hopefully Jnix will do other sculpts before revisiting han.

Here's mine painted up. I'm no pro, but what a gorgeous sculpt.

I'm flirting with the idea of selling this one, if anyone has an offer or is interested, PM me.
 
Guys, hate to break it to you, but turns out the JNIX sculpt isn't so great after all. Turns out we all bought a Ron Pearlman sculpt, though Will Ferrell was close behind. head-match.jpg
 
I think we should take the results of that site with a healthy pinch of salt. But still knowing that it's out there, an absolute answer to all our arguments about the sculpts. I sat testing doll faces through the site with hilarious results for the better part of an hour after timmeddlers post, and I have had a smile on my face all day after that. :rotfl
