    It's the best one ever made, and the Vader figure is actually pretty impressive for a 5-POA sculpt.

    This weekend I will take an expedition into the deepest pits of Wal-Mart to look for that exclusive Rey figure. :adore: This may be the first time I ever get two of the exact same figure, to keep one in the package.

    Don't feel bad. It's Walmart. Even when they're SUPPOSED to already have an exclusive figure they often don't. It's a complete roll of the dice as to when a lot of Walmarts even get their exclusives and put them out on the shelves and pegs.

    The closest Wal-Mart to where I live has had absolutely no Star Wars action figures on the pegs the last couple times I've stopped by, even though they have countless cheapo lightsaber prop toys. :mad:

    Those light-up mini-lightsabers that cost about $10 each? Yeah, they look like dollar store toys.

    Oh yes we would!


    "'Japanese sword require two hands' he said. Grrrrrrrr!"

    We were asked to do a picture with an 1:6 scale figure and their Mini-me and this is my result.

    Those are great! That reminds me of a theme of the month picture I did for reddit back in April which had similar rules. Use a figure of a certain character and include a mini version as well.

    They just announced him as a 6-inch exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con, packaged in a Millennium Falcon-themed window box and with a breathing mask and a 6"- scale Mynock!

    Oh wow, they look so realistic ! ! :eek:
    Did you custom them yourself from scratch (like home customed BJD) or did you commission an artist ?

    Those are the QMX Kirk and Spock 12-inch figures. Some of the best I've seen.
