The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

I want the ships!

 

The first carded images of the upcoming Retro Collection wave of Vintage Kenner-style figures based on The Mandalorian.

 

Anyone missing me? Sorry I have been busy with customizing figures. You will be blown away!

In the meantime, I made four pictures for the episode "Coda". I was thinking what else I could use my shiny New Earth set for and then it hit me as it was so obvious.

For those not remembering the episode well, the beginning was like a time-loop, Kathryn was dying several different deaths and ending up at the beginning, but then she was like a ghost. She saw her own funeral but nobody could see her. An alien looking like her dead father tried to lure her to go with him into the light, but she refused. In the end she wakes up, still at the planet with Chakotay. The Doctor got to her just in time.

 

Now I need to rewatch!

I assumed you were busy with rl stuff. Also your craft takes time!

 

I don't have any real life stuff. I live and breathe action figures 24/7

But when the kitchen table is a craft table and looking messy, it's difficult to set up scenes.



But while I was waiting for new paints to arrive, I took this lengthy story, hope you like it!





























Behind the scenes - set decoration:

 

Hilarious! B’Elanna just teasing him! And then he gets left behind!

I like to think maybe Kirk hit his head on a rock or was disoriented by chroniton particle exposure!

Awesome sequence- I love it!

 

Thank you! Are you saying they did not really meet? In my universe everone can meet everyone
And the hammer and motor oil only happened since I don't have any futuristic space tools so had to improvise

"Your watch is one hour ahead, Holmes."
"No, Watson, I'm already on daylight saving time. Don't forget to change yours too!"

You heard it, people! (only those that it concerns of course)

 

I say!

 

Bo-Katan has joined the rebellion! Such an awesome figure

I wonder how they are getting anything done on that ship...

 

Oh no! His confusion about the lady engineers!

I love the idea of everyone in Starfleet getting to meet everyone else in Starfleet. If I had a time machine I’d visit everyone in Star Trek and geek out over everyone.

 

Will you take me with you on your ride?

Today a funny Easter story:

 

That species won’t be in a hurry for Second Contact!

Poor Neelix; always has to make sure these things don’t go all sideways!

 

Looking at those aliens, that wouldn't happen to be planet Koozebane, would it?

 

I don't know, the orange one seems to enjoy its cuddle with Janeway

I had to look that up, just watched the video, thank you!

I have one more Easter story before it's over:

Kathryn sat down in her captain's chair but something was poking her butt. What is it?




Oh, the Easter Bunny was here!



Chakotay opened his console, and also found an egg hidden there!





Tom found an Easter egg on his seat as well!
Harry's voice from the off: "I don't see an egg on my seat..."



"Are you comfortable B'Elanna?"
"No, actually, there is something bothering me. What is it?"



Another Easter egg was found in sickbay!

 

They’re everywhere- like the Tribble menace!

 

Hasbro and Roboson Robotics are releasing a $700, metal, 19inch tall, self transforming Optimus Prime figure.

 

Hasbro also announced a lot of their Star Wars lines, including a new X-Wing that I am super excited for from Rogue One. A lot of figures will be released both in the 3.75 and 6 inch line.

 

I saw that on i09

A C-note, that one.

Sigh....

 

That's exactly what I was going for!

So here's what I have been up to. I wanted to make shiny coffee mugs but the first try with silver paint came out rather dull.



Then a friend suggested I use foil instead of paint. Thankfully I like to eat these wafers so had some at home.



Still it needed a handle. Originally I was going to make it with FIMO but another friend suggested using foam rubber instead. I looked through my stash and found this Christmas sign that I had gotten off a Christmas card. Perfect thickness!



The whole thing did not cost me a cent. I used the cylindric cover from a paintbrush, the foil and that plastic badge which looks like brushed silver (for the bottom of the mugs).
