Great pictures Jason.

The picture with a life size Bespin Leia must have been exciting.

Hey Paul -

Is it just me or does Alex's beard look familiar ?



Either he did that on purpose or the Force is flowing through his subconscious

haha... It was one great vintage homage to any figure!
Her father printed the cape on a single vinyl sheet and I think her mother re-worked the pattern for printing. Just a great nod to vintage figures overall. And hats off to her for her posing where she holds her hands like a vintage figure! Fantastic!

There are a ton of pics I have seen of her on Facebook taken by others with her "classic" pose. Tiggy interupted that but I think it was worth it.
This I think is her father's FB post.... love the black shoes (nod to the pre-production?)
FB Post

cheers!

Now Alex can join the pantheon of X-Wing related beards!





This dude has one!






Jek had one. Biggs was working on one but his life was tragically cut short at the the moustache stage  






George Lucas (in XWP disguise) has one!






Mark Hammil has one!






Mark Hammil has one!






Accelerate to speed attack!
The original Red Leader uniform was later modified to an orange colour.

Great updates from Tiggy from Scarborough and Anaheim!

Thanks for sharing, Alex and Jay.

Hi everyone. Tiggy is here in New Brunswick. He arrived late the week before last. I've been busy and haven't had time to show him around. I'll get some pics snapped this weekend and next week and get them posted.

He's been relaxing with my Hulk figures.

"I arrived last week and my host locked me up here in a glass case with all there mean smelly green monsters. They keep raving about wanting to SMASH!!!!!. I fear I made a mistake coming here."

Is that some kind of bootleg Hulk behind the bootleg Tiggy? Glad this thread is still going, kind of forgot about Tiggy to be honest.

Bump it up.  Paul, did you get any chance to show tiggy about yet?

Bryan, Paul's probably still digging out, from all the snow storms they had this winter.

Not digging out from snow but haven't had many days without rain since I posted last. Pics coming soon. Then on Tiggy goes to his next adventure.

Nnnnooooo. Hopefully it clears up soon. The boys annual motorcycle trip is scheduled to leave in 3 weeks (June 26) and hoping to hit the Cabot Trail on Cape Breton Island. They've tried before, but the rain every day puts a damper on the fun.

If its going to rain out east, New Orleans, here we come.

Paul, I'm looking forward to seeing Tiggys adventures out east.

Sorry for the long delay everyone out there in Tiggy Land. Between work and every day I had off raining like a bastard, I didn't have a good chance to get any pics around town. Finally got  a few over a couple of different trips out. Nothing overly exciting in our small town really. So I got a few with random things around town.

I'll let Tiggy tell the story.

My host finally took me out of that damned glass case with all those green monsters. I agree with massive destruction and all. But WOW those guys love to SMASH shit up. It's been a crappy stretch of rainy weather here in New Brunswick. My poor host has been unhappy he couldn't show me the sights here in St. Stephen.

We went for a bite to eat the other night at Ossies Lunch. A local landmark that's been open since the early 1950s. The clams and chips were good, but I'd have likes some Bantha ribs myself.



Ossies was a little drive outside town, so we stopped in nearby St. George on the way home. Paul wanted to show me this giant blueberry for some reason. Maybe that's where blue milk comes from??


After the bluberry was this nice view of the St. George dam.




On the way back into Paul's home of St. Stephen. The town is home to a chocolate factory called Ganongs. The local story goes that they invented the first chocolate bar called the Pal O Mine. They are good and yummy. there is a local chocolate museum, but every time we tried to visit there was a huge crowd or it was closed for renovations a couple of days  . Perhaps if I return someday we'll check it out.


Every summer there is a local Chocolate Festival. Sadly I'll be long gone before it begins. I was curious to see a large Chocolate Moose walking around town.


St. Stephen sits along the bank of the St. Croix River just across the border from Calais, Maine USA. We took a walk along the river to get some pics.



We stopped to talk to a local speeder bike rider.


Can you see me?? This monument was placed on the waterfront a couple of years ago. Paul says nobody really knows what it's supposed to be or why it was put here. It was part of a province wide sculpture something or other and an artist was hired to carve it. There isn't even a plaque to describe it or why it's here. Paul says the town leaders are on dope.


Some random pretty flowers along our walk.


Many years ago there was a large cotton mill in the town that was a huge employer. This statue was put up a few years ago in the spot where the factory used to stand. It was quite a local event at the time. Paul thinks it looks like the guy is asking the lady "Why are you giving me shit and showing me a ball of cotton. I'm sick of cotton.!!!"





On the way back to Paul's house we stopped to snap a pic with a little monument across from the Maine border. Don Sweeny is a local guy who played for many years for the Boston Bruins NHL hockey team. He was recently appointed general manager of the team. Many local people are excited about it. Paul thinks he's a douchebag.


Pauls wife and her friends have interesting hobbies.


And one of Paul's friends is a nice lady.


And that's Tiggy's St. Stephen trip. Not an exciting convention or anything. But just some local stuff. I was stuck for things to photograph because the weather has been so crappy. And my work schedule made it impossible to do the pics I wanted to do with my Hulks and SW toys. I may go out tomorrow and snap a couple more before I send Tig on his way.

Awesome job Paul & Tiggy.

Great shots Paul

I really like the sculpture

Great work Tiggy and Paul    good you got to see some sights between work and dodgy weather.
The weird sculpture looks like the ruins of a motorbike that crashed into a rock. Funny they made it with no reference as to what it means. Never mind the town leaders being on dope lol, maybe they had a chocolate overload too

very cool trip he had it's been awhile since I seen that area

Canada's chocolate town? Damn, if I ever finally make it to the east coast, I know where I'm stopping!

That was a great write up with some great pics.

Tiggy on the bongs and in boobs again- I am 100% sure he is the best loved action figure ever

Thanks for sharing Tiggy's latest travel experiences, Paul!

Great read and pics!

So who does Tiggy go to next?

Going by the last list post that Alex made it looks like it is Stef's turn.

Updated List :

General Kahn
Psybertech
TishomingoSith
ourchickenshack
Ozio
Arohk
Jessvader
Commander Clint
Sci-Fi Scarborough & Beard Convention
Star Wars Celebration VII - Anahiem
Kisstour

Walkie
Chris.75
Section 8
Nico
Chopper

This was a few pages back, but was the last list post. I would ask Alex just to be sure though.

Alex is in the middle of moving at the moment, so we probably won't hear from him soon.

I would just send him to Stefan & the boys in the UK, and keep things moving.

I have attempted to reach Alex, but as has been said he is busy. Stefan is ready for Tiggy to come to him so we can get him moving again. Hopefull;y by the time Stef is done Alex will be back, but in case he isn't stick to his last list as he is the listmaster on this.

This is the order of the ones who are on it and haven't gotten it yet.

Walkie
Chris.75
Section 8
Nico
Chopper

this thread is the best . I have been engulfed in the travels of tiggy ...................took 2 hours to get through this . man he has got some life , cant wait to see more

Bill, tiggy is going to make his way through the UK to chopper over in Australia. If everyone still wants him that is. After that there is no one on the list. If you want a turn I am sure the postmaster wouldn't have a problem with adding you to the bottom. Maybe several other members would want him. Once he makes it through the list, assuming no one else wants him I think he belongs to the site (was donated by JoeY) so if we make it through everyone on the list as it stands I assume back to John or possibly back to Joe for a visit in bootleg land.

I still haven't heard from kisstour yet, but hopefully we can get tiggy moving again soon. Stef is ready to show him a good time.
