    Could be but I haven't played the newest ones. I know some of the recent "Gaming Greats" figures at GameStop are from the Battlefront games.

    Speaking of Battlefront that fight scene on the island in Rogue One reminded me a heck of a lot of a video I watched of some gameplay set on an island area much like the movie.

    I'm going to guess it was from something called "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter", since there's a logo for it right on the front of the package! :)

    I've never heard of it, but Wikipedia confirms it was a game.

    That'll teach me to avoid playing the games unless I can get one for cheap or free. ;)

    He's playable in a couple of Lego Star Wars games.

    If it means more action figures I'm all for it.

    Hopefully Kyle Katarn gets his own figure in this way.

    I can respect that. Dark Forces was an awesome game shame about the shitty graphics of the time.

    Thank you! I should have taken a photo of Chakotay on his pedestal, he kept falling down LOL
    I'm used to the 12" figures which are more flexible and have more joints, these are kinda stiff. But yeah, it was fun!

    Well, if you can't have it on screen you need to be inventive!

    Is that the title of a new movie? I would watch it!

    Welcome back to the thread! Your girls are so cute and the rainbow is a wonderful idea!

    I got the Extreme Sets bar and tried some pictures:

    Cool stuff. Are they just all generic figures or meant to be characters? I like the lady in green with her wine glass.

    Most of them are from "Gotham", the Batman prequel. The barkeeper with hat is Harvey Bullock, with Alfred Pennyworth in the suit. The guy in jeans and shirt is Jim Hopper from "Stranger Things".

    That is Jim Gordon with the lady in green, and she is Barbara. Only in this show she never became Barbara Gordon. Originally she comes in a stripey prison dress, I customized her that nice dress and also some sandals for her bare feet.

    Finally, that's Edward Nygma who before becoming the Riddler is working as a medical examiner for the GCPD. And yes, KimMH is right, that is Janine Melnitz from "Ghostbusters". I actually bought her to be the secretary for Chief Hopper, as she looks a bit like her. Just haven't gotten around to do any pictures yet.

    Everyone, check out these wonderful Mego Star Trek convention pictures! Since there are no real conventions this year, this is the next best thing.

    They inspired me to get out my old Doctor Who / Torchwood convention pictures. They are from 2011, so not in the quality you might know from me now, but my friend and I had so much fun setting this all up! I love playing with friends.

    My newest addition to my ever growing collection of American Girls! Truly Me number 85. I've named her Monica, and she's an 80s girl. She'll be the friend of the official 80s doll, Courtney, whenever she's released.

    I'll continue with the convention pictures another time, but today I want to share this:


    My entry for the "Film Noir (This can't end well)" contest made first place!
