NEWSFLASH: The Walt Disney Company Purchases the Rights to the Star Wars Franchise

 News  No Responses »
Oct 312012
 

As the entire world now knows, the Walt Disney Company has come to terms on the acquisition of Lucasfilm Ltd, which includes the rights to such franchises as Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Per George Lucas (courtesy of Benzinga’s article):

“For the past 35 years, one of my greatest pleasures has been to see Star Wars passed from one generation to the next. It’s now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers. I’ve always believed that Star Wars could live beyond me, and I thought it was important to set up the transition during my lifetime. I’m confident that with Lucasfilm under the leadership of Kathleen Kennedy, and having a new home within the Disney organization, Star Wars will certainly live on and flourish for many generations to come. Disney’s reach and experience give Lucasfilm the opportunity to blaze new trails in film, television, interactive media, theme parks, live entertainment, and consumer products.”

How does this news impact you? Are you for or against the new films that will come forward, starting in 2015? Conversation is very heated. Join in and share your input!

From the desk of Kaedryl:

Evening Gents,

Just a reminder tomorrow the fun begins. Please PM or email your starting weight and figure donations by tomorrow evening if you haven’t already. If you have anyone that wants to join that is not on the list in the official thread, let me know.

First challenge also starts tomorrow. Goal of drinking 64oz water/day. Just keep track of your daily intake and next Friday let me know how many days you hit the goal. Everyone that is able to do it all 7 days will be in a drawing for a Zombie Viper. There will also be a prize for the highest % weight loss, so start watching those calories and hitting the gym.

At several people’s request, please send me a picture of your scaling showing your weight when you send me the weight. I don’t need to see you on the scale, just photo proof you weighed yourself. I doubt cheating will be an issue, but I’ve had enough people PM me about this it’s easier than creating drama later.

If you have any other questions/suggestions/ideas – please let me know. Otherwise tomorrow it officially starts, starting tracking your fluids and hitting the gym and I hope we have a very successful and rewarding 12 weeks.

Good luck!!

Kae

Apocalyptic Customs brings us his vision of a 1:18th sculpted Clayface! The streets (and sewers) of Gotham have never been safe, but even Batman has to be breathing a little easier now that one of his most feared rivals has made his way into the Joe-verse. What an outstanding figure!

From the man himself: “Now for a figure that has been in the progress stage for awhile now and is my first time sculpting. Also, to my knowledge, it has not been made in this scale ever before. It is Clayface!!! ”

From the desk of Byrnes:

“First of all, I would like to say thank you to all those involved in this contest. From the participants, to the folks who supported and voted. A huge thank you to one of the I.C.O.N leaders Chief CWO for sponsoring the event, putting up some incredible prizes and another shout out to OG13.com staff: Darkwise, Flint, Nerdsgetschicks, Lowlight27 & crew, and the other I.C.O.N. leader Steel for the support in spreading the word and helping us promote the event.

With that said, please welcome me in congratulating the following on finishing in the top 3 of voting:

1st Place: Llucz. He put up the first entry in this contest and set the bar. His take on the Cobra Zombie Icecream Man and Cart was a real eye popping and brain melting experience for us all. Llucz has put himself in the ranks of the best with this one. A first place finish for a well deserving custom. Congrats on a beautiful piece!

2nd Place: Dark Perceptor. Would you believe me if I told you this was his first custom? We’ll he certainly came out with six shooters in hand because he made this Wild Bill with Locust Mark II look simply amazing. A very clean fan favorite of the Joe universe. Future contests will have to be on the look out for this new customizer! Excellent work Dark Perceptor!

3rd Place: punchitchewy80 & iDz Bowl (Tie)


punchitchewy80 came out full throttle, leaving others buried in the sand with this Dusty and Sandstorm ATV 4 wheeler. His gritty and real life look to this custom put him in the running with a great version of this Joe. Thanks for showing the custom world your skills and thanks for a fantastic custom!

iDz Bowl hit us with a brutal and complex custom of TREX and Dinomech RagerTank. As always this seasoned customizer pulled all the bells and whistles out for an unbelievable custom that is very original and unique. Thank you for taking us on a journey to another world. We bow down to you General TREX as well as you iDz Bowl!

The I.C.O.N. Choice Award will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned.
