Chewie, as a fellow diorama-maker, I love your idea!  If Hasbro was less of the huge conglomerate, and more of the collector-minded, we'd probably see these.  Actually, there have been some great ideas from the company over the years, amongst the force-flippin' figures and other crap .  Did you see in the custom section of RS the guy who made the pilot and droid collection?  What a great idea!

These lists bring a tear to my eye, as I cuddle myself in the corner, gently swaying back and forth .  There is one change I would make, though- the ESB list is in sore need of a Echo Base Trooper, either the brown vested indoor guys (similar to Derlin's outfit) or a SA outdoor defense troop.  I'd give up a Lando Smuggler outfit for either of those, personally.

I did this several months ago, and wanted to show you guys.  It is the POTF2 vehicle with several changes made including additions of foamies and foamcore pieces.  I have a comparison pic to the regular vehicle to show you the difference.  By the way, the bottom 3 pics are before I added any weathering, hence the clean look.  Enjoy!









Here is an example of how I used the foamies:

Thanks guys! The Obi and Wampa are the original bodies, but the Jedi Luke uses a Dooku body with the pecs sanded down, and the Biggs and Tat Luke use Dragon bodies (also sanded down the pecs on the Tat Luke).  I did have to hot glue the clothing in some places to have a tighter fit.

Taking a break from dioramas, I've been really into upgrading Hasbro 12" figs.  here are some examples:

I bought this yesterday at WM for $9 (tags on the peg were marked as if this were a regular price, although Unleashed is dead soon, anyway).  Here are some initial thoughts:
- The figure is huge.  It is one of the largest Unleashed, close to Boba Fett scale with the base and all.
- The scene seems to be a combination, because the Vader outfit is the ANH version (cloth over the chest piece), the stairs that he's leaping from are clearly the Emperor's throne room stairs, but the jump reminds me of the Cloud City leap when he nearly lands on Luke's head.
- The pose is a little strange; the saber arm is all the way back, the forward arm (articulated at the shoulder) can be made to reach forward like he's force-choking, and his legs are both bent in a strange dancer pose.
- The details of the outfit are all very good, and the helmet looks spot-on.  The cape is a huge flowing mass though, that reminds me of the Sidious Unleashed.

Overall, not a bad addition to an ending line, but I prefer the more film-accurate Vader Unleashed from the Cloud City shaft.  I'd give it 3.5 to 4 out of 5

Hi- wanting to buy the chest, left arm, and left leg pieces of Galactus from the Marvel Legends series.  If you have these to sell for around $3 or so, lmk!  Thanks
