The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

I've not caught up to that point yet. Reminds me of one of the few times Roger Moore's Bond was acting ruthless. Hommage?!

 

Wow, you are right, this looks very similar! I hadn't made that connection. If I ever meet one of the producer guys I'll ask whether that was an homage!

If you are in the UK and have watched Gotham season 4 wondering why there is so much stuff you don't remember, it's because season 3 aired on a different channel. This scene is from one of the episodes leading up to the season 3 finale. Sorry for the spoilers!

 

I got this decorative metal sheet last night. I had to trim it down a bit but it now fits nicely in my diorama staging area.

I thought I'd use it to show off the new Rick and Morty action figures I got. Purge Suit Morty and Summer.


I also got Propeller Suit Mario finally.

And lastly, while not an action figure I got the Nintendo Switch copy of "Starlink" which came with this awesome Arwing from the Star Fox series.

 

That's what I like to see--more ships.
Instead, Shark Tank supported pimple popper games...

 

I scored the new 6" Black Series L3-37 and Rio Durant at GameStop (for an awesome Buy One, Get One 50% Off promotion that was still going on the other night) along with a loose 3.75" Rebolt from Corellia in Solo, a 3.75" Rose in her Crait poncho outfit from The Last Jedi and a 3.75" Imperial Royal Guard from the Solo-packaged Basic figure line. The Rio is an incredible figure and one of the best-sculpted and most intricately-detailed figures in the entire 6-inch Black Series line.

 

If you were on the fence or are interested in Rogue One Black Series Figures, you should check your local 5 Below. I just saw these at my local store.

 

I saw that about a month or two back! I scored an extra 6" Chirrut Imwe and Baze Malbus when my local Five Below got in some of that wave from Rogue One. Chirrut and Baze were almost impossible to find at brick-and-mortar when they were brand new and their wave was sandwiched right between the AT-AT Driver/Darth Revan Wave and the almost equally difficult to find Qui-Gon Jinn/Bespin Lando Wave.

Right now my Five Below is likely stuck with just Jyns and Cassians as shown in your photograph above, but for about a week or so you could actually find Chirrut and Baze there. I also saw some Imperial Death Troopers but didn't pick up any extra ones.

 

I've started a new project. Making a sci fi style door. I got a picture frame and cut the bottom off. Similar to what @Astra did to make a miniature fireplace. It is a bit on the short side when it comes to my DST trek figures but I'm happy with how it's coming along so far. This is just a rough draft but I wanted to show it off.

 

Awesome idea!
And I love your new floor too. I have been to the hardware store several times, but I never find the cool things you have. I am particularly looking for something that looks like those room dividers with the hexagons.

 

Thank you. I got my new floor at my local Hobby Lobby. They came in a variety of styles but the one I got looks the most like a Star Wars esque wall or floor. As for the hexagons, You may want to try looking for miniature chicken wire or something similar. Hope that helps.

 

Christmas has come early!

 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Don't let the goose or turkey burn. Alfred shows how it's done correctly!

 

I got a new doll as a Christmas gift, I'd love to see this crossover!

 

My wife got me a MacFarlane 7-inch Kirk action figure. She also got me the Spock w/Horta.

 

Just what the doctor ordered.

 

"Where at you sticking that pill, Doctor Mario?"

 

He just throws them at people and hope they stick.

 

The 6" Black Series Archive subline of repacks and repaints of popular and in-demand figures from earlier years is being spotted on the pegs in more than a few stores across America. The first Archive wave assortment brings X-Wing Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Bossk and IG-88 back into stores and depending on where you live and shop they'll be in stores for the first time.

I never got IG-88 the first time he was released and the only time I've ever seen him in person the seller wanted a ridiculous amount for him. This will be my first chance to own him for regular retail and hopefully these figures will ship in decent quantities so that collectors can get their hands on them.

 

Has anyone gotten the new Star Trek & TNG action figures of Kirk & Picard? Saw 'em for the first time yesterday at Walgreens, and totally does not look like they are worth twenty bucks each. Am I wrong? Are they awesome out of the package?

 

I saw the Picard the other day at one of my local Walgreens. The Kirk was nowhere to be seen. I really like the Picard and was mostly impressed by the head sculpt and articulation but didn't buy him.

Maybe when he's on sale or clearance? I already collect Star Wars figures and am not planning to begin another line but if I saw the Kirk and Picard for cheaper than $20 each I'd be very tempted to get both! The back of Picard's packaging says that there's also going to be a Michael Burnham and a TOS Spock in the line so I imagine they'll be Wave 2.
