[QUOTE="SAVORY100, post: 486678, member: 5830"] I really struggle with these for a lot of the reasons already listed above... - The packaging is utterly awful - Broadly speaking they take up a LOT of space - The pricing is just stupidly high - The resale market is even sillier - SOME of the sculpts/paint apps are absolutely terrible - It really annoys me (as a Han focus collector) that Han Solo is without doubt the worst of all of the entire range and the paint mask for the face was created by a really angry elf.... he looks truly evil and no vintage version in 3 3/4 scale I have seen looks anything like him facially. HOWEVER... I do own two, both are out of packaging (see above) - Hammerhead - Actually I think it's truly stunning, it actually emphasises how good the original sculpt is/was. This one sits on my desk :D - Rebel Soldier - possibly one of the only decent looking human figures, he sits in my Rebel Soldier cabinet. I also covet some of the droids as well as 4-LOM and Zuckuss, just wish the pricing was more sensible as I would have to make space to put them in my collection and have to justify the spend too.
