The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

[Astra]

The Sherlock Shrinking Potion was a success.

LOL Totally! This reminds me of another story with a shrunk figure I did a long time ago. Because there is no 12" Sam. Here is Jack O'Neill introducing new President Obama to the Stargate programme. Apologies that he is in green BDUs, I have now a nice blue Air Force dress uniform for him.

Jack: [knocking] Knock, knock. Do you have a minute, Mister President?




Obama: [inviting] General O’Neill! Sure, come on in. How’s the fishing?



Jack: [jovial] I’m just on my way. But there are important matters I have to discuss with you first, Sir. I’m here to officially brief you on the Stargate programme.



Obama: Star- what?



Jack: The Stargate, sir. It’s an alien doohickey, a kind of round spinny thing, which…

Obama: Round spinny thing? Is that a technical term?

Jack: [shrugging] Not exactly. Carter could explain it so much better than I.

Obama: [wondering] Well, then why didn’t you bring her with you?

Jack: [wincing] Actually, I did, sir. If you please could help me with the backpack?



Sam: Colonel Samantha Carter reporting, sir!



Obama: [gaping]



Sam: [apologizing] Sorry, Mister President. There was an accident in Dr. Lee’s laboratory, which resulted in a massive case of…

Jack: [interrupting] He shrunk Carter.

Sam: [annoyed] I’m sure we’ll soon be able to reverse it. Anyway, this is a model of the Stargate. It’s made of naquadah, measuring roughly 22 feet in diameter and weighing about 64,000 pounds. It breaks down matter into patterns of energy and then…



Jack: [zoning out and only hearing technobabble naquadah technobabble subspace technobabble vortex technobabble Event Horizon technobabble wormhole]

Obama: [wondering] What is a wormhole?
Sam: It’s called a wormhole because…



Jack: [piping up] Oh please, not the analogy with the apple again!

Sam: [glaring] … it goes through space like a worm through an apple. It’s controlled with a DHD – that’s short for a Dial Home Device



Jack: By the way, Mister President, I have a present for you. It’s called a GDO. If you ever happen to be on the wrong side of the Stargate, just punch those numbers, and we’ll open the door for you.

Obama: Thank you, Jack, but I don’t think that will be necessary. How could I end up on the wrong side of the Stargate anyway?



Jack: [mumbling] Thor, old buddy, this is your signal. Take him for a ride!
Obama: [vanishing]



Jack: [suspicious] Just what else do you have in that bag of yours, Carter?



Sam: [blushing] Um, nothing, sir.
Jack: [insisting] Lemme see!



Jack: You have a doll? Of ME?!?



Sam: [trying to find a rabbit hole]

Jack: [bemused] I wonder if her getting smaller has been an accident after all.

SDCC announced the next wave in the World of Nintendo line.

Green Paratroopa (repaint)
Villager (new)
Peppy Hare (new)
Link with red tunic (repaint)
Invincible Mario (repaint/ transparent)

Not a bad haul but a bit disappointing. I'm glad Peppy is announced as Slippy is right around the corner. Villager is a nice touch. I'm glad Jakks is trying out 4 inch scale Animal Crossing merch which will be a money maker. I'll get the green Troopa as I have a red one but I might skip out on Red Link, not sure yet but I'm passing on Invincible Mario. Here is my wish list for future waves.

Also we got previews of those awesome new TOS figures! Scotty, Bones and Sulu. According to Nanjin Uhura and Checov are in the making as well. Plus the Captain's chair and it even lights up! And Scotty has a tribble and missing one finger. And McCoy has the ring on his finger.
Aside from them there is also TNG, Supernatural, Firefly and Justified but I did not download those.

I am 100% certain I can't afford those!

Just $179.95...

Better be careful, Venus might get jealous.....


CCC.

Thank you again for the inspiration! David is here now and already there is trouble.

 

[BillJ]

Just $179.95...

Each? Or for the set? $35 a piece wouldn't seem too bad.

 

[Astra]

Each? Or for the set? $35 a piece wouldn't seem too bad.

LOL each of course Or at least that was the price for Kirk and Spock, so I would assume there rest is similar. We are still wondering about the price for the chair.
There are also exclusive versions which are 20 Dollars more but come with extra pieces. The phaser rifle for Kirk, the Lute for Spock. I went for those. At this high amount, it does not really make a difference anymore...

The collectors market is a high priced one. But if something is done this well, I certainly don't mind. If you like, watch these videos to see all the wonderful accessories they come with. That phaser is simply awesome and can even be taken apart.

The action figures are so much better these days.

 

[LordMudd]

The Enforcer is hunting Werewolf By Night, alias Jack Russell, a friend of Jessica Drew, aka Spiderwoman.

Both Enforcer, finished last night, and Werewolf are customs, and appeared in Spiderwoman vol. 1.

Yet another addition to my Marvel Funko collection- Captain Marvel!

 

[LordMudd]

Had this body lying around from a custom I needed the head for a long time ago and no idea what to do with it, then I had an inspiration last night.

Commander Britain.

The idea is retro-sci fi-rocketeer.

My Ruthie doll arrived today! Now I have all of the "best friends" dolls from American Girl.

Her best friend, Kit, is so happy to see her!

They look really nice! I really like the Bones one. It looks so much like him.

Counterfeiting Operation.


I made a mold of the gold pressed latinum bars from the Playmates Nagus figure.

counterfit = profit. Ferengi likes.

How did you get your kid inside the box?!?

They look really nice! I really like the Bones one. It looks so much like him.

I agree, definitely next on my shopping list!

Boys always will be boys I guess...

Why are Kirk and Spock's heads gray in the last picture? Are those prototypes?

Cool. Spock looks good too. But Kirk's hair looks a bit too dark.
