The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Made a few additions to my SW display

 

Lookin' good as always, man! I can't tell which new figures or toys you just added, but the whole display always looks fun.

 

Thanks. I added the die-cast AT-AT and die-cast TIE (which is on sale for $7 at the Disney store)

 

I had a feeling the AT-AT might be a new addition but I wasn't sure. I wanted to rely solely on memory and not cheat by looking at the previous photo.

 

The AT-AT was $20. I wasn't going to get it. But alas, I couldn't resist. The TIE and all other small ships are on slae for $7 at the Disney store or their site.

 

Less than 26 full days to go until the Force Friday launch of Episode VII toys and merchandise!

 

my wallet is not ready!

 

My little room box "bakery" for mini Grace is finally finished, or as finished as it's going to be.



The last piece, the tea cart, came yesterday.



Here are my new Doctor Who Funko Pops displayed!

 

On the bright side, if a lot of the new figures are 5-POA with less-than-stellar paint apps and very few accessories then a lot of collectors will be skipping on them and saving their money for other toys and collectibles from the new film and the franchise. There's going to be quite a bit of simpler 5-POA product released next month compared to the super-articulated, more premium and collector-focused figures we've gotten used to over the past decade.

Funko released a 6 inch Rocketeer.

There's been a lot of QC issues with this figure. The joints are clear plastic

As soon as I got him I tilted his head back and it snapped


Funny enough. This is how the movie did the flying scenes with a giant model which they slightly altered flying poses for.

For those that want to know the figures in the pictures


Figma Mark 7 Iron Man

Hasbro Captain America from Winter soldier

 

The figure does look great though, except for the likeness of course (though at least they tried to make it look like Billy Campbell, unlike that Captain America figure which looks absolutely zero like Chris Evans). My brother is a big Rocketeer fan (he even made a costume, complete with helmet and jetpack with dry ice "smoke" one year for Halloween), so I'm considering getting it for him. I need to make sure he hasn't already gotten it, though. Have you seen their Firefly figures? They look pretty good too.

Anyway, any Once Upon a Time fans here? 6" figures are coming this Spring from Icon Heroes. I looked up Icon Heroes, and while they have made various types of collectibles, this is apparently the first time they'll be making articulated action figures.

 

Those are great-looking pics! That might be the best-looking and most accurate Rocketeer toy I've ever seen.

And yeah, it's good to see glimpses of the 6" Kylo Ren and Finn figures. I think they'll turn out pretty well and I'm hoping that most of the growing pains and paint app/Quality Control problems that exist in the 6" figure line have been ironed out by the time the first TFA figures hit stores.

 

Apparently the first wave of Funko "The Force Awakens" figures have leaked as well as more products continue to escape lockdown ahead of next month's big deluge. They look fantastic as usual.

 

And the new Funko C-3PO reveals an interesting detail about the way he looks in the new movie, and I don't mean his red arm. Funko requested that websites pull their images of the new Pop! figures and many have complied, so I don't know how many images are still left online, but if you search for a few minutes you should be able to find at least some of them (especially on Facebook where fans and collectors have posted screencaptures of the web pages that were made before the images were removed).

It appears as if Chewie's new Episode VII head sculpt and his bandolier are the only big differences between the first 6" Chewbacca figure (modeled on his appearance in Episode IV: A New Hope) and the new release.

 

That head sculpt, awesomeness.

Yeah, the Figarts SW figures look impressive...most impressive.
