The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Black Series - 2013 Wave 2
« on: October 10, 2013, 09:16 AM »
After checking out all the photos from NYCC, Leia still looks terrible IMO. Less googly eyed but the joints are off the chain atrocious.

rest of the wave still looks great tho!

Oh man, he looks TERRIBLE from the neck up, IMHO. Why does Hasbro fail so spectacularly at reproducing a decent Anakin likeness? Is this from the cut scene where Padme gives him a home perm? He looks like he used the low flow shower head from that Seinfeld episode!

I can't see how this would come from the same guy that did the Han sculpt, which is terrific. 

Plus didn't they already show this guy off in Europe earlier this year?

Star Wars Rebels / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Cardback Revealed

They're 5 POA  :-\

Source? Is this coming straight from Hasbro? Have not seen confirmation elsewhere yet, but good scoop if true.

I like the cardback too. Its screams "Animated" to me though, so I will continue to hope against hope we get stuff that will mesh with the Clone Wars aesthetic. Highly detailed does not necessarily imply realistic. (Although I won't be the least bit surprised if that is the way they go)

I wonder if they will release any ships or vehicles from this show too, or if the offerings will be confined to figures.

Other Toy Lines / Re: Latest vintage acqusition

Bump. I finally scored one of my "grail" items last night on eBay...an MISB Blue Zeroid from the Ideal Star Team line. The Knight of Darkness and Zem are not to hard to find, even boxed, but the little Blue guy has been a real PITA. Almost all the ones that pop up are loose, and the very few I have seen boxed are either dinged up pretty good or just prohibitively expensive. The one I snagged was not cheap but a fair price IMO considering the rarity.

Still on the fence whether I need to pick up Kent & Cosmic Cruiser, but I think I'm good for now.  ;D

Thanks guys! I will be hunting this down this weekend. Should be fun trying to get my other one back into the original packaging to return it...

Can someone (ok, Jeff) who has seen these at CostCo confirm the price? Are they $29.99 like the Walmart version?

I really want to see this in person to figure out what the heck they did with his belt. The original has the saber hilt firmly attached to his belt. Since he doesn't wield two lightsabers, I am hoping they went back and resculpted that belt.

I double dog dare someone to try ordering these off K'Mart's website. God knows what you would end up getting.

TV-9D9 / Re: Star Wars Rebels - Coming Fall 2014

Yay, I'm there. I'm sure with Filoni at the helm it will bear some stylistic resemblance to Clone Wars. I'm just curious who the major players will be. And of course, what the action figures will look like (eventually).

Oh snap! Don't care about the noises but the swappable saber hand is a must have. I hope it's not too late to return my old one. Great find!

Got my Kili/Fili 2-pack in the mail today that I won off eBay. Also picked up the last Grinnah at TRU just to have a little extra goblin action in my display. Right nowI have everyone chilling on my spare vintage Ewok playset. The motif sort of fits somehow.

Ant Man was beating his wife?!?! WTF?

When did all this go down in the actual comics? Must have been 80's or 90's right?

Was this really supposed to be a general release item?

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to imply that anyone was hopping OFF the Steelers bandwagon, I know those fans are among the NFL's best. I just meant that there seems like a resurgence of baseball enthusiasm in that town, and the combination of an up year for the Pirates and a down year for the Steelers is only fanning that. I can't remember the last time I saw so many people so psyched to be at a Pirates game! Good for them.

« on: October 2, 2013, 09:54 PM »
I picked up the AT-RT/Tactical Droid Deluxe set today at Marshall's for an eye-popping $7. Hell yeah! Oddly enough, they had another one two shelves above it for the regular price of $12.99.

ps - sad to see this forum relegated to oblivion, but understandable...

Man. They really don't want people to see Smaug do they?
