my squid focus

[slim]

thanks for the kind words chaps , i have not added anything to the focus in awhile as the stuff i want rarely comes up for sale

 

[Joe]

Stick with it slim and don't get down when nothing turns up! It's a great run so far mate.

Hey Lionel no potf squid in your focus? :lol:

 

[Dublinjeff]

Wow, just had a look through the whole thread. What a great collection. Amazing what you have put together

 

[elcroz]

Slim,

I am in love with your focus. Mr Squid is very underrated. The card art is great, for me the actual figure stands out as arguably the best one made by a country mile.

Envious is not the word :mrgreen:

cheers Joe , i do get down sometimes.....like when that ledy squidhead cardback was for sale on ebay i thought yes i will have that , i thought 150 quid would get it but i kept getting outbid and was mighty pissed as that cardback in a acrylic case with a red cape loose squid would have been awesome , stilll down over that :shock:

cheers elcroz , old squiddy is a firm favorite allright :mrgreen: , i just wish gentle gaint would make a nice statuette or half bust of him , BTW i emailed them a few months back and got this reply

Hey Lionel,

Thank you for reaching out to us on this one. I think we will eventually get to that piece. If the collectors want it we'll make it !

Regards,

lets hope soon :mrgreen: 8)

great focus mate , looks really good

 

[elcroz]

Slim, it's only a matter of time before Gentle Giant make a Jumbo Squid Head 'vintage' figure. I am guessing that they are going to produce the full set?
There are one or two I would love to have in that scale, the squid tops that list.

Again a great focus and extremely inspiring.

All the best.

thanks Kieron , its was the right decision to start a focus on Squidhead as i have never been happier mate , the thrill of adding new pieces is immense :mrgreen:

 

[Pomse2001]

That is some great cardbacks, that lili ledy is so cool 8)

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

First time I've seen this thread. That is a brilliant collection, congrats on building it and finding some off those incredible items.

Every day is a lesson on this forum. I had no comprehension there could be such a massive diversity of a single figure. And a ROTJ one with a relatively short lifetime on the shelves at that. I'd always had entry level goals like collecting one of each figure carded or a complete loose set, but this sort of focus is a real eye opener and has got me thinking, so thanks for sharing.
