The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

I've heard about that recently. Only $200 more than the nice modern figure of my namesake I can't afford! :rommie: Donations of course are welcome. :biggrin:
 
Happy Spring! I saw these blue flowers on my lunch break, went there the next day with figures to photograph them but they all were closed as it had rained! So I had to wait another day for the sun to shine again and them to be open.

It's actually two kinds, smaller dark blue and a bit bigger blue-white ones. Perfect size for small figures!



 
He's no good to me unpurchased.

The one with blue flowers is so pretty! The one with the narcissus make it look like an alien planet with mega-fauna!
 
Here's a YouTube video from CNet "previewing" this sucka'. If for no other reason, you gotta' watch the reaction of the 4 year old daughter ! She wonderfully "hams it up" for the camera!

Well, cab-overs do transform...in a way.

Anything is possible on an alien planet! Thank you!

Remember, at Easter I had let Tom do a dangerous climbing stunt just to get to some Easter eggs. A friend asked whether he got hurt in the process. I hadn’t planned to, but I am always happy to fulfil wishes! So here is Tom in sickbay.

Thank you! I want to provide everyone with their ship!

I bought an electric fireplace, it lights up and crackles! Kathryn and Chakotay had to try it out immediately.

, I'm getting the distinct impression you're just a tiny bit of a Chakotay/Janeway shipper.

Love it! Also the decor is very olde English manor!

Yes! I quickly threw this scene together, I originally made that paneled wall for my "Gotham" action figures and especially Alfred Pennyworth. Here are some old pictures I did with him:

ROFL! Perfect!


Today I had to stay at home for two different handymen. I used the time to finally put marble paper on the Matrix stairs. The original black stairs did not photograph well. It took so long as I could not decide whether to leave the top or the side of the stairs black.

Seeing it now in the picture I realize I still don't like the black. Maybe I should do the sides with marble as well and then put like a red velvet carpet in the middle.

I used newspaper first to measure and cut the exact shapes. Not sure yet what to do with the wall. I could break off the hooks but the round thing can't be cut off.

There is also a pedestral at the bottom of the railing, at first I wanted to leave that off but then there would have been a hole. So I added marble paper to that as well to hide the holes left behind after I cut the figure from it.












This is what the set originally looks like.

 
I want to preface this by saying, I like Jar Jar. I mean to say, I don’t hate him, the character. Years to stew on it, you can see what George was trying to accomplish but failed pretty miserably. I would never pay full price for a Jar Jar figure but Target had them on clearance, finally. So I picked it up.

Love the Pennyworth scenes! Love the idea that he’s no less a badass than whatshisface. I’m pretty sure my son had that Matrix set but it was played with pretty rough; most of the pieces went missing after a week or two !
 
So, I picked up the two Marvel Legends Silk action figures off of eBay weeks ago, finally opened 'em up tonight.

Marvel Legends Silk and Cindy Moon - the paint jobs are slightly different between figures, not just different coloring

The backs of the figures are also painted differently

Thank you! Sean's fight scenes were phantastic. When he was younger he had trained with the SAS for a role as a bodyguard, and so they made Alfred's background in "Gotham" also SAS. He was much more than just a butler, and they always looked real and as if it was really hurting. And he had to fight to keep Bruce save a lot.

Here are some for you. This one is really great looking very realistic:

Fight scene

This is with the swords, the one from my pictures:

Alfred's fight with Azrael

This third is my favorite, as it is also very funny and he teaches Bruce a lesson. I love his accent and the way he calls him "Mr. Cupcake" ;) They actually had two stuntmen planned for the scene but the two actors did it all themselve.

Alfred's fight with Cupcake

I did these pictures after Tom says in "Parturition": "Play something different." It was only meant to be this one scene, but the boys took over, having some fun, and things escaled.
Only today I did watch the episode "The Thaw" where Tom actually says that he wanted to learn to play the drums! I totally had forgotten about this.
