The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Wow! That looks incredible, @Astra !

 

Ah, Star Wars. Yeah, never got into that.

Thank you guys! I am really happy about how he came out, and already working on the next, plus two Janeways to go with him. I have been busy! Also, while he was headless, this kinda happened...

 

^That is an awful trick!

 

Am I sooo glad you saved this. What toy aisles should be.

 

You said it!

Star Wars pegs today are a sad, sad shadow of what they were even a decade ago. That was a Golden Era of toy marketing.

 

I miss toy stores to be sure and not being able to handle the merchandise before hitting "Buy" on the website is rather disheartening.

But, at the same, time, I don't see many people actually in the stores. So, paying the taxes that come with having items on the peg when people are not handling makes poor business sense. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that TRU suffered from that. I do hope they come back in the US soon though

 

I'm trying to get back into Doctor Who mode, so have these for a change:

 

I love it! I’ve been looking for a good Thirteen.
Work has been glacial so I’ve definitely *not* been streaming it in the background.

 

Last snow picture for this winter - they're climbing an ice mountain. Tom is helping Chakotay up. Memories of another time he did that come up.

 

Haha, nice.

 

Thanks!

On Twitter Robert Duncan McNeill is lobbying for a "Captain Proton" series so I made this crossover with another famous series of that time.

 

Blessed image

A Captain Proton spinoff would be wonderful!

 

As much of a Trekkie as I am, the one toy I coveted when very young was the very last toy of its kind at Bill’s in West Alabama.

The James Bond Attaché Case. The Secret Sam version was cool too.

No luck

 

I would have gone out to play in the snow, but the power went out, so I didn't have a way to warm back up if I went outside.

 

Picked up the new Marvel Legends Deluxe Thanos at Target the other day, along with some reading material from Wal Mart.

A company in Australia has made action figures from The Last Starfighter!

 

Would have been cool to have those thirty plus years ago when I watched the movie all the time, instead of just every few years like I do as an adult.
