Not at my own computer at the moment....I will see what vaders I have later.

What paper are you using...Looks like the right gloss.

 

[Cobra_UK]

The paper was just cheap A4 stickyback stuff, the sheen comes from the Laser printer (Samsung CLP 315), it does a great job eh

Might have to invest in one of them.

is this naughty? i have read some previous posts and seen some bad press about this??

just asking??

 

[Cobra_UK]

Its not everyones cup of tea and mine are clearly not being used to scam nor could they ever be, i dont see the harm personally if its used for personal use like i do for preservation/handling purposes. (Looks better too!)

It is a personal preference. We are not scammers what so ever. I know it is a touchy subject and there are some who do not care for it, but everybody has their own opinion on this you either hate it or love it. This forum is great because we can express our opinions and likes without the type of behavior found on forums like RS.

If we were scammers i think our accounts here would have been removed a long time ago, credit to the admins here - common sense prevails, look at it my way - a cheap alternative to spending loads of dosh and i couldnt care less if i trod on the card or bubble lol.

Perhaps i might card one someday and take it out for target practice and record it being blown away ... hmmm perhaps a vote on the ugliest figure and ill card him and fill it with holes with my air rifle for you

By the way, the general concensus seems to be theyre ok with it as long as guidelines are followed and items are clearly marked so in no way they could be passed off as the real thing. Some hate them, some love them, what better way to take care of your loose figure unless you spend $££$ on AFA/UKG

Its all fun

 

[jangofettish]

i did see on ebay someone has made replica figures as well as cards of random characters, aunt beroo (if thats how you spell it), and that weired little thing in the cantina that looks like a 5 year old bat faced thing....? 8)


Has anyone else seen them?

 

[Cobra_UK]

Yeh ive seen a few, theyre very well made, nice to have the complete character line up as a choice eh, ive seen the band from the first movie somewhere too. Some funny custom cards around as well ... aunt beru and uncle larrs - charred lmao

Main images at the top of the thread updated Oct 2nd

I used Pentel Brush Glue on these ones, you can tell which is strange as i used it last week on an R2 and you couldnt see it, used too much perhaps. No worries theyre preserved now
