Hey Scott,
I got this old Jawa I think might be a VC Jawa. See, the cape
is made of plastic instead of cloth. But the cape seems a little
long, cuz it's goes like 1/2 an inch below his feet. Also, the
shoulder holes are really big. Plus, the cape is gray. But I
still think this is the real thing! What do you think, should
I eBay this sucker?
Oliver Cloezov, Albany, NY
Dear
naked one, the figure you have in possession is in actuality
not a Jawa at all. Going by your description it could be one
of two possiblities. It could be one of the poor children fondled
by Michael Jackson under the rainbow. Ever since that horrific
ordeal, the little guy has been roaming the earth aimlessly in
search for answers to his misguided life. Or it could be one
of the munchkin stars from Ron Jeremy's porn production spoof,
"Whizzers of Oz." Bring your raincoat, things could
get wet.

Do you think POTF2 first shots are over-valued? How about hard
copies?
I. P. Daily, Milwaukee, WI
I sure
hope so. I have a few hundred that I need to unload on those
poor, unsuspecting moneybags bidding at ebay. Hardcopies are
another story. Any hardcopy, vintage or recent, should be considered
to yield significant value. Hardcopies are produced in much lower
numbers than firstshots of any kind.
Dude,
how much beer would C-3PO need to drink for him to be as cool
as Bender from Futurama?
Phillip J. Fry, New New York, NY
Ahh,
a man with my beliefs. I don't believe in much, but I believe
I will have another drink. Unfortunately 3PO would never achieve
the same social acceptance as Bender. If 3PO were to drink the
demon alcohol it would be more along the lines of say a brandy,
sherry or some fruity coconut
concoction. C-3PO is a girl drink drunk, he's too whiney to be
considered cool by the likes of the seedy bar crowd. Now, would
he smoke cigars? That's a whole 'nother story. After years of
heavy drinking, bright lights and late nights, I still don't
need glasses....I drink right from the bottle.
CHEERS!!

What's up with the bubble on the Tri-logo EV-9D9. Did they forget
to put the Force File in there or something?
G. Lopez, Seattle, WA
I'm not
intelligent enough to answer this question much less know what
the hell you're talking about. It's just plastic. Open the damn
thing and give it a good work out, hence the term TOY!
