The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

I'll just put this image here.

I just went to three different Wal-Marts and the Star Wars figure sections were practically overflowing with Landos and almost nothing else.

Been my experience for the past 6 months, save for the occasional one offs.

 

A friend of mine calls it "Landomania." It's apt.

 

I just got a decent deal on a bunch of Star Wars figures on ebay, including a squad of stormtroopers for my army building. They arrived today. The troopers have decent articulation, but on closer inspection I can tell that they aren't genuine Hasbro/Kenner figures. Oh well. The official figures included in this lot still make it a good deal, although a handful are ones I already have so I'll hand those down to some younger relatives.

Got a recent Ebay purchase in the mail today which I'm pretty happy about. It's the Call action figure from Hasbro's Alien Resurrection line.
It is, to my knowledge, the only official figure of a Winona Ryder character where you can recognize her likeness. Been looking for one for years, and I finally found one, and for a very good price to boot (ten Euros mint in package).

 

That does look pretty much like her, which says something considering action figure likenesses when that movie and its merchandise came out.

 

Just got the original Playmates Classic Enterprise as well as the Tiny TVs Star Trek TV

I recently came to a new awareness of Disney's "Droid Factory" stuff in 3.75" scale, and have started augmenting my Star Wars collection with that. I mean, I knew the line existed, but I didn't realize they were doing figures specifically of characters from the new streaming SW shows. They aren't quite at the level of quality of the Kenner figures, but they have pretty good articulation. They already have NED-B from Obi-Wan Kenobi, while Kenner only has the Retro line figure in this scale, and no indication when they might do a Vintage Collection version. For those unfamiliar, the Vintage Collection figures are more realistic with a lot of articulation, while the Retro imprint is visually styled after late 70s/early 80s figures, with less articulation.

The Disney Parks Droid Factory line has also released an articulated B2-EM0 from Andor at a time when the only Hasbro version of the character that anyone can get is the overpriced 6" Black Series version. It's solid, and a friend who has the Disney figure of 4-LOM says it's even better than the Hasbro 4-LOM figures released over the years.

 

I’m thinking about buying the Black Series Obi-Wan show Darth Vader Helmet. I’ve always wanted a really good version of a Vader helmet.

Funko does the one figure that justifies it’s hydrocephalic style:

As big a Godzilla fan I am, that price is way too steep for me.

 

Welp I did it, I got the Black Series Darth Vader helmet. I’ve always wanted a real Vader helmet, since the early days of the Don post helmet.

 

Impressive...

 

And it's the one based off Obi-Wan Kenobi so it's the newest and probably best one from Hasbro!

 

My own little slice of heaven in my basement. Or as my wife calls it, my nerd hoard.
Little bit of everything. Some high end, some low end. Toys, models, collectables, etc. Big focus on Trek, Mass Effect, Star Wars, The Witcher, comics, Ghostbusters, 80's action/horror.
