Latest Modern Acquisitions

[grinchy]

Cheers mate, I've seen the sphero, very nice, no animals to chase though

 

[Mini99]

Great to see you over here mate, love the mando troop transporter, very nice
Well my 1/6 scale collecting has another one to add to the pile, this time a 1/6 scale deluxe sideshow R2, has so many options a very nice piece

It lights up but has no sounds which i don't mind as i'd hardly ever use that function anyway

Stunning piece Grinchy, nice addition to your lovely collection

Wow...that R2 is really nice!

 

[grinchy]

Thanks bud, appreciate it, I don't have it in hand yet but it'll be here soon, can't wait to add it to my detolf with ben and luke

 

[grinchy]

At last, Mando' arrived. Posty decided to just dump it on the door step rather than the specific parcel/post box. Poor thing was sat on the door step for two or three days............Glad it didn't rain. :roll: :lol:

I forgot to get hold of Cara so ill have to try and find one at some point, baby yoda species on pre order so ill have the whole line soon enough. Until they give us a few more characters, and god knows when that will be.

Mine arrived Monday, really please with this one.
Looking forward to getting Baby Yoda later this year.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

I'm really surprised that the little one wasnt released along side Mando; would of made business sense but yeah ok Hasbro making sense. Any character that you are looking forward to specifically or something you'd like to see?

I would like to see a some of the aliens, possibly the Ugnaught with his ride or maybe the Twi'lek from ep6?
The blue alien in ep1 would also make a great figure.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Hmm id love to see both a twin pack blurg and Kuill, maybe even a twin pack Mando' on a blurg or a dewback to cover. Dewback already made so wouldn't be to hard for them to do, oh and the Armourer as well wouldn't go a miss.

As for the aliens, id like to see a Nikto and one or two Klatoonian as we have never had any of those in 6inch form and at least one Trandoshan would be on the top of the list for me. I dont think we have ever had any other Trandoshan other than Boskk in any scale have we?

 

[Mini99]

Some great choices, fingers crossed we see some more later this year.

 

[Jaxxon]

New arrivals this morning.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Well I might as well try and relax a little and do a bit of comfort shopping for some goodies, think I have earnt it.... :roll: :lol:
If you haven't nabbed them get to it, the Hoth Luke and trooper are now available and do look nice on the card backs, Iv also ordered Hoth Leia. Not sure if they will do a Hoth Han seeing as he would be a repack but then technically Leia is a repack as well so maybe they would. cameo appearance ralph Mcquarrie would be sweet, 6inch Wompa? yesssssssssss pleaseeeeeeeeeeee.

I suppose I better put up an actual acquisition hadn't I, images and a brief review of a Sideshow Mythos Obi Wan later once I have nabbed some sleep.8)

Thought id try something different for us forum members

 

[MrGudz]

Like many I've become obsessed with The Mandalorian. Just wish I'd picked up the Remnant Stormtrooper when I had the chance.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

I ordered Cara, waiting for Mando' and the stormie to come back into stock. It does seem for both the 6inch line and VC, if you think your going to want it just pre order it. Then afterwards if you decide your not as keen on it, you can pass it on to someone else, that way your not left hunting on the secondary market at scalped prices....

 

[MrGudz]

I don't usually collect VC so didn't really give it much thought to pre order. Will have to be a bit more on the ball next time

 

[Mini99]

Some modern purchases this month.
A few new additions to my POTF2 Italian run, the boxed items are all sealed.
Particularly pleased with the Italian Luke Jedi MOC, which is one that I had never seen before!
The others are the first 5 of a Freeze Frame Collection 3 run...some of these are tough to get at sensible prices.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Some nice finds, dont think I have come across that Luke neither.

Having a bit of a play, ill get better at posing once I get used to it.

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Looking to get a new pc at some point and some photo editing software as im starting to enjoy it more. Had a go at some basic overlays just for fun.

 

[grinchy]

That mythos ben statue looks ace mate nice pics to

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

Thank you Grinchy,

Yes it does have a few bugs for example lack of base topping and the neck to head line join isn't as tidy as say some of Hot toys offerings but most of the basic poses I have put him in mostly hide it or make it unnoticeable. As for the base, well id rather they focus on the character itself; I'm going to make a slim low profile sand topper with maybe some additional gubbins put on then make a rubber mold and do a resin cast that will sit nicely ontop of the plastic stand. I'm also very tempted to make a cast of the portable moisture evaporator lengthen the little wind vane, hmmmm might give me something to do :roll: :lol:

I have been a bit naughty though.....Evidence

 

[grinchy]

Sounds like it'll keep you busy for a while , that Ben is great, such a nice likeness on both of them, the mythos ben is a good mix of the two actors, while the deluxe Ben is spot on, i'd be chuffed with both of em

 

[MrGudz]

Managed to get myself a Remnant Stormtrooper after all. A very nice figure

 

[Ruby2511]

Some cracking purchases lads

 

[Sundancer Squadron]

I think the Mando' VC line will be a pain in the back side to pick up in time if you miss any, not looking forward to trying to get the 6inch BS stormie when they release one. Some nice pick ups.


Hot Toys Obi Wan arrived safe and sound, ill get some pics after work tomorrow along with a few other pick ups. 8)

 

[MrGudz]

Picked up the VC Cara Dune as well. It would have been rude not to.

 

[monkey_roo]

Ordered a load of figures from various places and lost track a bit so all of this ended up arriving on the same day...
