    Yes that is how they start, no it is not how they're finished. Lots of changes had to be made in order to get that from point a to point b. it's not as simple as you may think, especially when working with plastics. All the materials have to jive together and be strong enough in the end for this thing to last. Mines been on a little over a year and there's no notable change to it.

    That's because I took the time to do all the development of these properly. Finding the right materials was the hardest part. As this fine gentlemen has pointed out, these can be had now for 12 dollars. At that price I bought a large amount. The dilemma with anything Star Wars related is its highly collectible, this means the demand is high and the supply dwindled several months ago and you could only find them on eBay. I can assure you that I would have LOVED to have paid 12 bucks a pop for these bad boys.

    All that being said it doesn't really do me any good to develop a parts list this guy would like me to, so ill leave it there. If the price is too high for you, let me know and maybe we can work something out. I'm a reasonable person who likes to make 20 bucks every now and again. Apparently for some that's a bit steep :rolleyes:

    However, now that that's all said and done, if you find a bobble head you'd like to turn into a shifter knob, send me a link in an email to benbacher@gmail.com. Pretty much every marvel and DC characters can be done, as well as most tv shows and cult classic movies. You can even get one made of yourself nowadays.

    Update but not a good one, bear in mind it's far easier to say nothing until asked. Seem to have lost my wallet, which made me miss the post office today. Gonna strip the truck tomorrow (again) and tartans track it down. Last time it went missing it turned up buried user the blankets in our little storage ottoman. Our one year old is getting more creative with hiding places it seems haha. The good news is there a good portion going out as soon as I can pay to ship them haha.
