Awesome! Where did you pick up the custom DROIDS figures? I’ve been meaning to do that myself, figure the quality has probably gotten pretty good at this point.

Hey Rob, thought you might be interested to know that NeMA Studios is producing a custom Gorax figure from the Ewok TV Special. It’s supposed to go up for sale tonight or tomorrow I think. No info on their website yet, I just saw a Facebook post about it.

The thing looks rad though, probably right up your alley. I am planning to get one too if the price isn’t too high. 

Think how many extra parts and paint apps they have though! 

I’ve gotten a bunch of staff lately in the mail. Axe Woves, Migs, Aayla, Darth Maul, Grogu, etc. they are all really nice figures, and thankfully still in the old style packaging.

Got a shipping notification for the Walmart exclusive Boba Fett (Tython maybe?) recently too, this was my oldest outstanding preorder I believe.

1) Zombie Emperor
2) General Pryde
3) Lando in Disguise
4) Unkar Plutt
5) Bala-Tik
6) Klaud
7) Luke Skywalker (Crait)
Alazmec Cultist
9) Cardo
10) Ushar
11) Trudgen
12) Kuruk
13) Ap’elk
14) Lt Connix
15) Boolio
16) Snoke Attendant/navigator
17) Kijimi Occupation Officer
18) Sith Fleet Technician
19) Tasu Leech
20) Lor San Tekka

Man, I really would like some of these.

Always like to look back and see how things panned out over the year. I stuck pretty close to my plan. Only picked up a couple more Legends to fill out my FF Display. Thundra, comic Black Panther, etc. finally got those NECA AWIL figures and they were awesome. Still waiting on the new Thing stuff though.

Bigger news from this year was deciding to downsize and sell off a few of my current collections, like all my Pacific Rim figures, all my Prometheus figures, and (eventually) all my McFarlane Stranger Things stuff. Loved them all but I have to keep making room all the time it seems like.

Anyway, for this year:

1) Star Wars Black Series- Still my main jam, still managed to keep up a complete collection, though it gets harder every year. Not a fan of the new PFP either.

2) Marvel Legends- just cherry picking here, does not seem to be much on tap as far as classic FF figures outside of Ronan and maybe Molecule Man. I’m happy with keeping it to a tight group here though.

3) Super 7 ReAction & Ultimates- price on these has become prohibitive, so planning to cut way back here, or at least wait for sales, discounts, free shipping, etc. hard though because they continue to do so much cool stuff.

Star Troopers and Final Faction are still in the mix for 2023, but not much else outside of those. Thinking it’s probably time to start getting serious about any remaining vintage toys I want. 

Received my 1-JAC and Purge Trooper figures I had preordered from Walmart awhile back. Looks like that will probably be it for this year. Whew!
