The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

For Monty Python, perhaps there could be a more economical compromise. Bend-em figures, for instance.

Whereas I used the TV (or should I rather say "telly" ) that came with Granny Conolly to recreate the scene from the Voyager episode "Memorial". I watched it and said, wait, I do have that exact TV!

 

That's freaky.

 

Woah, Copenhagen has a combination retro toy shop and hair salon:

 

I got this recently.

 

Having toys /\ that I remember buying new described as “retro” is somewhat discombobulating.

 

That TV fit in a tricorder toy?

I still like the MOPAR from VANISHING POINT better

I just checked. Easily...if anything, the "Tiny TV Classics" screen is a tad too small. It measures 1.5 inches, and the screen upon my Diamond Select tricorder (which is supposedly 1:1 scale) measures a near even 2 inches diagonally Uh, I assume to mean the cosplay toy based upon Wah Chang's prop for the original series. I can't say for the scanning devices for the various other series as I don't have any of those.

 

Maybe the small exploration set Tricorder…undersized as it is—might be a better fit.

A lovely toy of yesterday

Just an ordinary mission - and the things you find out there! This little guy's (Uhura thought he was cute) transport broke and Scotty helped to fix it.

 

Early photos of the upcoming "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Amazon exclusive TVC Obi-Wan figure in the blue tunic look like the sculpt is exactly the same as the first one (Wandering Jedi), except for the hands. The first one has that hand wrap thing, and the upcoming one has half-finger gloves. So I'm tempted to just buy another of the first one and do a repaint and turn the robe into a shoulder shawl thing, instead of waiting until Spring 2023 just for a blue tunic.

I have the first ones they released in 2019 when all six were Target exclusives. Those are almost identical. They're also cool. Congratulations on the score!

 

Omg so cute!

 

At last, Target is shipping the Axe Woves figure!
From pics I've seen online from people who managed to get it early, the helmet looks rather oversized.

This is one hell of a collection, it took an 80+ minute video to capture:

 

Starting Lineup is back. They're no longer the cheap figures from the end of the 20th century, but they're nowhere as good as the McFarlane sports figures.... yet cost more than twice as much!

Well I opened it up, and the helmet is indeed jumbo looking.

I also got the wrist Force Link thing so I could play the sounds for some of the Sequel Trilogy stuff I've accumulated over the years. I think it's kind of bogus that the ships didn't have the sounds built in, requiring you to get the wrist thing separately, but whatever.

Eh, it's just the comtech reader all over again, just with ships and figures not just figures. But, yeah, it's funny because the new Jazwares Micro Galaxy Line Millennium Falcon has sound built in.
