The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

I've wanted a Rancor toy ever since I was a kid. My mom got me the Ewok village and the speeder bike for my birthday that year, instead.

 

I don't have this particular Rancor so if Jabba is indeed a brand-new figure that means most of the plastic in this box will be new to me and thus a good investment. A lot of recent multipacks from Hasbro have little or nothing that I don't already own, so this is a great one for multiple reasons (including another Vintage Collection Gamorrean Guard).

 

'What i did i did without choice. In the name of peace and sanity...'

 

Cool! Do you have all the Doctors or are there still certain ones you're missing (or that haven't been made yet)?

 

i'm missing the 1st, 4th, 8th and 10th. hope to have the 1st later this week though.

 

It sucks how limited our options are for 8. At least they released that 8th Doctor/Dalek two pack a while back so you don't have to buy the 11 Doctor set to get him.

 

yeah, he seems to be pretty expensive on the back market. i have a feeling he will be the last one i get. just not prepared to spend $35 or more on him right now.

 

Funko is doing a Pop! Vinyl Scarlet Witch. No idea if they'll do Quicksilver, too...



Definitely picking her up when she's available.

 

Also- I always change the outfits on my dolls with the changing seasons.

1. Julie tries out her new skateboard.

2. It’s raining like hell today, so she “borrowed” Molly’s umbrella. She also got some takeout from Ivy’s grandparents’ restaurant. (Really just a Hello Kitty tin. The candy inside sucked, but I wanted that tin!)

3. Ivy borrowed Julie’s jeans and sandals…and decided that she likes the Mets and not the Giants. (The dolls are “from” San Francisco, so that’s not a popular decision. Ivy “borrowed” the Mets shirt from my Hello Kitty Build-a-Bear doll!)

 

Does the American Girl series offer different sets of clothing for the dolls so that you can change the ways they look, or do you just get the one or two sets of clothes that come with each girl that's it?

They could probably make a lot off of selling bonus packs of shirts, pants and dresses for the kids and collectors who want to change the way their dolls look from time to time.

 

Oh, there are tons of clothes for each doll. They even sell closets for them.

 

I probably should have remembered that since my late mom loved the American Girl dolls so much, but it's been ages since I've looked at one of their catalogs or any other promotional materials. That's smart of them, really. Since the number of dolls is limited make sure they have a ton of different clothes to add variety and make things more exciting.

 

It's not just clothes. There's an amazing variety of furniture and accesories for both the historical and modern dolls.

If I were rich, I would so buy this for myself:

Bakery playset.

Or this:

Samantha's gazebo

Or this!

Julie's car wash set.

 

Spoiler: I got some new set dressings...I put them to terrible use. Enjoy. XD.

 

Jedi Temple Archives and Rebelscum have posted lots of photos from the floor of Celebration Anaheim showing packaged images of new 3.75” Black Series figures including the brand-new Han Solo in Carbonite. Great stuff, and the new Clone commanders also turned out to be pretty good looking.

 

Picked up the new Arrow and Deadshot figures the other day. I now have a fairly nice CWverse collection going. I can't wait for the upcoming ones. I will say, while DC Collectibles has come a long way in the past couple of years as far as articulation goes, they still have a ways to go. It would really be nice if the Arrow could do an actual archery pose.

 

I'm most excited about the 6 inch Rebel Black Series Ahsoka prototype that was revealed.

 

Yeah, that one is going to be very popular once it hits stores.

In the meantime here are the 3.75" (animated) versions of both Ahsoka and Darth Vader based on the season finale of Rebels:
