Kenny Baker Press Photoshoot with, err ..me!

[x-pack]

He's having none of it :roll: In fairness he is about 80 or something. I came this close to having a photoshoot with Kenny 8) Damn!

Shame. I could imagine the caption,"proof that Kenny really does have a big cock"

:lol:

Woah there cowboy! It wasn't that sort of photoshoot :lol:

I tried to name drop the forum but the reporter hasn't included it :roll:

Might be for the best.

Might have avoided an influx of attic jawas

 

[grinchy]

great article mate, suprised he doesn't think the figure looks like him, i think it does have a look of him, hard to get a likeness at that small a scale

Great stuff Barry....SW in the news is a good thing :wink:

Great write up and story 8)



For the detractors of Preston I would like to advise

Alongside Kenny Preston has ;

Sir Tom Finney ( Preston was the founder member of the football league)

Andrew Flintoff

Nick Park of Wallace and G fame

The water frame of Richard Arkwright notoriety was born in Preston

Parents of Butch Cassidy were originally from Preston ( apparently BC spoke with a lanky accent ... "Eh up lad, tha better watch thi sen or al afta fill yer full o lead" :lol:

Coketown in Charles Dickens book Hard Times was based on Preston

And of Course...Barry Smith....SW Collector, SWFUKer and all round good guy :wink:

Cheers Mike

I completely forgot that thing about Butch Cassidy. My Mrs once told me they lived on Victoria Road which is where we lived before moving to Leyland. Hard to believe, but there you go.

My cousin went to school in Preston with a kid who's dad drew for 2000AD back in the day. That's quite impressive.

But we digress. Cheers for the comments guys. I got in touch with the chap who makes these figures and i'll be sending him a copy of the story this week. He was made up with it

Good stuff

Like reading short stories :?

'I don't even really think it looks like me'

Erh :? ...well it certainly doesn't look like Barry or anyone else Kenny!

:lol:

I heard off the guy that makes them that Kenny takes these to signings and says 'look it's me!'. He said Kenny's son asked for one. He's much more approachable apparently.

Give Kenny your money and he'll praise Star Wars all day long. When it's not paying he's not interested.

Great article, enjoyed reading it.

As for Kenny to say it doesn't look like him, I don't know what planet he's on, like saying that Barry doesn't look like Martin Freeman

Are these figures still available?
