      Thanks gang, I'm glad you like them. THESE are the figures I wanted back in the day. I remember being so disappointed when the little plastic SW figures came out. Guess that's why I've stuck with this project for so long, it's my ultimate "what should have been".

      Anthony- Yes indeed, Jawa is missing. Truth be told, I was kind of hoping Lepage would tire of his and sell it. I've been watching Marketplace.

      Starsky- How long? I did Vader with Paul Evans almost 5 years ago. I've been working on them here and there ever since.

      Wrathdemon- I actually have a Mace Windu head ready to go, and have shrunk Dooku and Maul (although he needs work yet). I don't intend on going nuts with anything from the prequels, but there are a few characters there I really like and might actually do, eventually.

        Did you get R2 and 3PO from the bank? I never noticed they were Mego scale.

          WOW!

          I remember as a kid hating the little Star Wars figures and wondering why I couldn't have Star Wars figures that looked like my Megos. It's great to see how they could have looked. Beautiful work, Dave.

            Yes, I did indeed, however they were not quite mego scale. Took some work to get them that way. Took off R2's dome and cut off 1/2 from the body and a little from the bottom of the dome. Took 3PO totally apart, cut his legs shorter at the hip, cut his waist shorter and put him back together. He fell right into Mego scale.

                        Awsome job Dave. Looking at that group shot the Ben Kenobi figure really stands out for me. 3PO also is damn good in that line-up.
