I like your figs Heather! it's kind of strange to see the torso on a bad
guy when in my realm, it's something totally different. Though it's
only a problem with one's perception :) I think you did a good job with
all your figs, and I'd more than welcome you posting anymore you do in
.castle for us to enjoy! Besides the fact we need more females here
anyway :)
I agree with you, Qui Gon's head is very useful for many things, I'll
still gravitate towards the classic Smiley, though of all the ones
they've put out. it's one of the better!
