Hello!!!!

#

we need @main lance too

#

I still have my copy of that Insider issue

#

it's pretty beat up because I carried it with me everywhere for a couple months, yelling at everyone about it

sturdy dew
#

Haha

#

As you should

#

I’ve got a 3D printed Mara miniature coming in the mail

#

I bought 2, one to try and paint myself, and a backup in case I screw up so I can pay someone else to do a good job lol

#

so, true story: back when I started bellydancing, it is A Thing to not use your real name during performances. And everyone is looking through the Arabic books in the studio, and I'm just thinking "this isn't me." So off to Wookieepedia I go to browse through names instead.

You already know what I chose. and 15 years ago, it was way, way more insider, so no one got the reference. UNTIL. my friend (who took her name (Nimue) from Arthurian legend) brought a friend, and he got so excited and then that night I made a new friend!

Did you use the name Arica?

I never got a chance to dance with a lightsaber though.

indigo coyote
#

ooooh, that would have been awesome

#

b/c I am actually having another convo about Mara on another server, I think I talked myself into making her Jedi Academy costume 👀

#

do it do it do it

indigo coyote
#

(I am getting too old for that goddamn catsuit)

#

(it's just not comfortable)

that had the god awful mall hair?

#

I bought this back when BOTH of those things were cool and one did not screw up the ending so badly it erased itself from pop culture.

mine's still in the packaging but my god why did they have to give her that hairstyle

Is that another custom? I'm not sure I've seen that one!

indigo coyote
#

the cake topper for my wedding was Mara and Luke

#

I'll have to find a photo but I'm supposed to be writing 😅

sturdy dew
#

It’s about the size of my thumb lol

indigo coyote
#

bigger or smaller than the Micro Machines mara?

sturdy dew
#

Bigger

#

There is another custom Mara figure in the case though, the taller 6” one

indigo coyote
#

that's awesome. I haven't dipped my toe into customs at all

sturdy dew
#

I’ve bought a few, but haven’t made any other than the Mara head swap lol

#

I just bought this one in fact

indigo coyote
#

oh that's cool!

#

I've been buying some little Mara arts here and there

sturdy dew
#

I have some I’ve bought from an artist on eBay

indigo coyote
#

I'll try to take some photos of the art I have tomorrow. And some other cool Mara things I have, now that I think about it.

#

My friend made me a custom tumbler using images from the comic that is one of my favorite things

#

And another friend made me a cool leather bracelet

sturdy dew
#

I don’t have that specific drawing, but I have like 8 others by the same artist

#

When I’m in front of my desktop tomorrow I’ll post them

#

I’m still salty that the newest official Mara figure we got doesn’t actually look like the artwork that was on the packaging

#

Like, I bought the figure anyway lol

indigo coyote
#

It's by far the best looking one they've done

Where would you suggest looking?

indigo coyote
#

A lot of pin sales happen through Instagram

#

Like if you post an ISO and tag the pin creator they usually will share it

#

Mercari is another place to look

#

I do see a couple there but they are like $50 each 😬

Yikes

This is the hand of the Emperor from shadow foil props that I have set up with a custom chassis of my own design. This is the first version of this particular health that was offered from shadow foil, a couple of years back. I went with a simple static chassis design that also houses some rectangular LEDs for extra accent on the chassis itself. ...

That’s my specific hilt

#

Like that’s the installer I hired, demoing the electronics he put in my hilt

indigo coyote
#

Excellent

sturdy dew
#

I got my hilt back! I have a blade for it but I need to buy a battery for the chassis

indigo coyote

Nice!

I kinda wish I never changed my name. But I’ve been Peli longer than I was MaraJadeDroid so there’s no going back.

#

Curse my politeness!

I’m going to try my best tomorrow. I don’t think they said when it would be in the parks. We’ll see

Gotcha. So online is my best bet. Thanks.

I JUST got my fancy Mara saber all done up with electronics but if I don’t buy this Legacy release like I’m contractually obligated to do so then the micro-bomb implanted in the base of my skull will go off sooooo

crisp atlas
#

Oh yeah we all understand that microbomb

indigo coyote
#

yeah, buying a Legacy when you already have a neopixel feels kinda meh BUT no one wants to die so

#

we do what we gotta do

sturdy dew
#

I got one! I got one! I avoided the bomb!

tall marten
#

I woke up to a surprise.

tall marten
#

Yep. He’s pretty cool.

safe fossil
#

Lmao. Tell him to get me one 🤣 jk. She will be added in the days of clamshell

#

I like the sabers, but LE boxes take up too much room

sturdy dew
#

Does every LE inevitably get a clamshell?

crisp atlas
#

so far everything but the Ren, which the LE is still sitting.

#

but MJ isn't being sold at Dok's at East (but apparently it is at West?) so who knows

sturdy dew
#

Courtesy of eBay

#

Artist is Scott Dalrymple

#

I love his work, I’ve got a ton of his art (including those two, now)

sturdy dew
#

Hey I know you guys weren’t sure what to get me for my birthday

indigo coyote
#

I've been watching the prices on those tick ever upwards for the past 8 years and just accepted I'll never be able to justify one.

Sketch card I got several years ago

is that from Topps?

sturdy dew

I think it was just some random artist on eBay

I’m trying to remember the artist’s name
