Another look at the “real” lightsaber

A real Jedi could make a giraffe, Dalmatian, or lemur from the blade...

He was handling it like a Youngling.

It looks really cool in that light, but I suspect you couldn't engage others with theirs in mock battle.

Raves are about to get a whole lotta Force.

Hi all, just finished adding in my Exo-6 TMP Admiral Kirk, so I thought id throw in some photos of my collection:

That's an amazing collection.
Where did you get the TOS figures standing around DS9? They look large for your typical figure?

Thank you!

The three TOS figures were a set of commemorative Barbies my wife got for me at a Tuesday Morning. That was before there were ANY 1/6 scale Trek figs, so I happily took whatever i could get. But I still quite enjoy having them.

Oh..... OK I remember those I was very tempted to get them when they were out but put off by the Barbie branding

I'm not a Barbie fan either, but these are pretty nice. Plus, since i dont know if or when we'll get an Uhura figure from Exo6, it's nice to have that one on hand. I think it's the best of the three.

Yes it's the branding alone that puts me off. There is a really nice Black Widow figure that is Barbie branded but every time I see that name I get put off. I would get that because to me that is more acceptable then $600 / $700 for the Hot Toys version which I really could not justify.

I hear you about the secondary market prices on those things. It can get really crazy. That's why i always get the preorder on those figures if i can. It's way too expensive otherwise.

Oh no that figure I gave was the brand new price for the Hot Toys version, I think they've gone up more since then. Having said that I still want that Canon camera that turns into Optimus Prime. That's nice and $250 well that's about as far as I would go for a collectible.

@Cr0sis21 you have Holly Golightly and Cat! What an unexpected delight!

What an awesome collection!

The only genre figure I have is Professor John Robinson and Jetpack. No Trek figures for the foreseeable future. I simply no longer have space, unless I create a pocket universe somehow...

Although, if they ever make a decent Virgil Tibbs and Gillespie I might attempt some transdimensional engineering.

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

What Holly Golightly, I bloody missed that. So many I couldn't spot her.

Lol, she's on the shelf right below the Star Trek figures.

Thank you! I've always been a huge Audrey Hepburn fan. I was really excited to be able to get a high quality figure of her like that.

Oh...... OK spotted her.. Nice

Thank you. Its one of the few figures Star Ace did that was of such good quality.

Why's that?

Does she have a good range of posability?

Quality of sculpting, good outfit, things like that. Star Ace, as a company, is one that usually gets a lot of grief for bad sculpts and cheap clothing. But this one i thought came out very nice.

What about posing? Has she got a good range of movement?

I do have the Marilyn Monroe Barbie and the one from Flashdance but they are normal barbie size so posing is a bit hard, would have been neat had they had scaled furniture like a chair or sofa to sit on, but as they are they take space.
