Commando Love: THE SWCA Podcast Episode 88

Love reigns supreme over the ‘Chive Cast when Skye and Steve host a round table of Rebel Commando connoisseurs comprised of Chris “What’s in the” Botkins; Stephen “Wward” Ward; and Chris “Special” Leddy. We cover it all from mock-ups, to blueprints, to Presto-Magix to mini-rigs. For the first time in years we really go deep to understand what makes a focus collector concentrate on one character and why. Ron “Ron” Salvatore joins us as well to talk about the devastating Commando Acetate Sculpt and defines what a Plaster Cast is. All this plus many extended heart-warming meditations on the meaning of our hobby in this month’s Vintage Pod. 02:01 - Show intro 07:13 - Skye’s Movie Thought 10:30 - Flip the Script – Two Death Stars? 18:35 - Skye-Ku 25:00 - Skye’s new (dumb?)
