Kenner did produce a 12nch Alien in the same scale as the Vintage Star Wars dolls, comes in exactly the same cardboard window box. Don't think they sold many of them. ****** scary lookin thing. Can you imagine little Timmy unwrapping that on christmas day? You'd be scarred for bloody life! Goes for an absolute fortune these days!

Won one of these on ebay 3 weeks ago, Ã'£8.00 US delivered. Picked it up from the Sorting Office this morning.

Its from the David Lynch film adaption of Dune. It died on its arse at the boxoffice. Over the years it become a bit of a cult sci-fi movie. These figures probably only lasted a run up to christmas of 1984 on the pegs, before they were in the bargain bins everywhere. Also really hard to find these without yellowing bubbles. Got thing for oldschool TRU stickers :D
 
Dune is a great film, bit weird though.
The book is brilliant, read it a few years ago. Definately one of the best books I've read.
I didn't even know they made figures for it.
 
weasel isnt there loads of dune books??
i thought they were gong to make loads of films but the first one flopped so they didnt bother?

Aye, the first one (Dune, itself) is the one the film's based on. It's also the only one I've read, I ordered one of the other ones so I'll let you know what it's like.
Your right though I think there are 7 or 8 books.
 
Lynch's Dune is the most exotic lookin Sci-fi movie ive ever seen it rivals Star Wars for vision. Its a bit messy story wise inplaces. Always liked the weirdness Lynch brought to it.
I know he wrote a screenplay for 'Dune Messiah' (Dune II) while the film was in post-producton and editing stage, but after the box-office opening month plus bad reception he dropped it and ran for the hills.

Actually George Lucas was after David Lynch to direct 'Return of The Jedi' but he turned it down to make 'Dune' in mexico.

The first 3 Frank Herbert books are leg-end!! Personally after 'God Emperor of Dune' Book 4 it starts to take the piss with the basic idea. 'Heretics' Book 5 & 'Chapterhouse' Book 6 was taking liberties. George Lucas nicked stuff from them. Tatoonine/Arrakis & Weirding or Bendu Technique/Jedi Force, Mind trick.

He dosn't seemed to have any up at moment. I know for a fact he had another 3 carded Dune figures on his listings a week after I won mine. Alot of activity around the Sardukar Terror Troop. Supposidly there harder to get hold of than any other.
Here you go: http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQsassZrystysQQhtZ-1
I think he deals mainly in toy trains.
 
Thats a great find! Brought back some good memories.

I remember that bee bloke, Buzz Off I think he was called. I was walking home drunk from uni one night, middle of wales down a country lane and came across a Buzz Off figure stood up facing me right in the middle of the road, quite freaked me out at the time, totally bizarre moment!

What Uni was it that you went to?
 
Lampeter Uni, mate- strange little town, full of druids and copious amounts of cannabis.

Seven (missed) lectures a week in Ancient History and Archaeology
Laziest three years of my life.. (and I'm pretty lazy!).

That would have been insane!! Would have been all backward talking Yoda's and plots that don't make sense!! Lynch is a total legend 8)
 
Yeah a bit of Greek history, bit of Roman, a month on a dig, a week in Greece and picked up my 2:1 at the end (I worked out I went to 17% of my lectures which is about 1 hour a week study)

Its of no use to me of course and I work in IT now. :?
 
Nice sabers Angel. Been thinking about one of those for myself since CE as everyone seemed to have them 8) Did you see the vid of the mass battle on the bridge at Excel?

I quite facy one of those custom luxeon jobbies from the States. They look really bright and apparently you can **** people as hard as you want without knackering the blade :twisted:
 
Yeah that video's great! :)

Problem with those ones (Luxeons) is they're expensive. Yeah you can use them to hit people, but is it worth that much?

The blade's also removable, did you know? And you can get replacement blades they're like $30. The problem isn't damaging the blade, it's damaging the LEDs in the Force FX blades. The Luxeons light up with a bright light in the hilt so there's nothing to damage.

These one's cost me a total of Ã'£95. Ã'£45 for Anakin ROTS and Ã'£50 for ESB Vader.
 
Yeah can't imagine a David Lynch cut of ROTJ!! 8)

Apparently Richard Marquand wanted Jedi to have much greater depth and his early cut reflected that. I'd love to see such a thing. :)

Great to hear we have a professor amongst us. I'm just about to pop off to ancient Greece again. Hope to return with some treasures. I hate snakes!!! I hate em!!! :mrgreen:

I hear MR have lost their Lucasfilm Licence and won't be able to make lightsabers beyond the end of this year. Certain ones could become hot property in time if in good condition. I've seen a nice luxeon saber with a fiber optic blade. You can also take it apart revealing the pulsing crystal chamber inside. It looks the dogs bollocks but is Ã'£200. Having said that I've been wanting a good saber since I was about six so I think I'm due one and my birthdays coming up :D
