For the first original time! It was clones. It was always clones. It will always be clones. Take a look at him:  The series had a look. Also guards:  Want to see the proud Jedi who returns and sacrifices to end Palpatine once and for all? When it was all canon. But then, he's half cannon ball.

Kingtheninja posted:Yeah from a video I've seen, the galaxy's edge falcon is the same as the last store one they did (legacy maybe?) so I'm looking at options, but I'll probably wait til after I get the ghost. What were you thinking for display? Floating shelf? Hanging the ship on the wall? I could use some ideas. I have the Galaxy's Edge version. It's a superior repaint of the older Legacy version. I bought mine from Target, it had a limited in-store release, possibly exclusive. Kind of a funny story, I ordered it online and they canceled my order the day it was supposed to arrive, but then I walked into the store and it was sitting on a shelf. I saw somebody do a wall mount where it was supported (nose-up) by some well-angled, padded shelf brackets on the sides and the back, and I was thinking I would do something similar. Probably with a slab of plywood or something as a base for those things to attach to. Put it down on the base, figure out where all the support points will be and attach the brackets to the base, then mount the base to the wall using long screws and a stud finder. It can sit indefinitely on the shelf brackets, but could also be easily lifted off to mess with it. (It would be possible to tie fishing line across it for earthquake safety too.) Edit: It had been years since I looked into this and I checked to see if I could find the thing I found before, and it's this short Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_rXSBuSOAM I remembered parts of it incorrectly; I guess adding some padding to the shelf brackets was my own idea. Also in the video he just has the brackets screwed straight into drywall and he ran out of screws before finishing the job, so I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing came crashing down a week later. I think the cheap shelf brackets are a brilliant idea, but I would definitely want to build it with a bit more structural integrity.

Forgot to respond to this yesterday but I for one am very excited to see at least one new figure from this line. Lame that of the two announced, one is another Cloud. Not as if the several previous reissues are hard to find. And then Yuffie is mostly gonna be reused parts too, but still, this version is long overdue and I look forward to getting one. I'm glad I never caved in and bought the one in the weird cloak! Let's just hope that now they've blown the dust off this toy line they will announce a couple more characters.

Hopefully this means they'll definitely at least do Cid and Vincent, since it'd be weird to not complete the team at this point after they did a proper Yuffie. I have no idea how Cait Sith would work, but I'd be here for the monstrosity.

Previously they've done Cait as a random pack-in with a different version of Cid, and as a separate release with his giant moogle or whatever that is. I'm in however they decide to do it, he was a fun character in Rebirth.

Storm Collectibles is making more KoF figs, which is always cool to see. Except I'm chapped they're making Ralph before Clark. Just make both Ikari Warriors at the same time goddammit.

Toy Biz 1989 Batman / Kenner 1990 Batman Thanks to Joe Fisto for hooking me up with the Toy Biz homage figure. It is appropriately hideous, and I love it. I'd be interested to know the story of Toy Biz. It's got to be fascinating. They somehow fell rear end backwards into success by scoring the Batman movie license before anyone knew what it was actually worth, then almost immediately lost it to a much bigger company. Then they pivoted from DC to Marvel and rode that motherfucker til the wheels fell off. It's funny how they lost DC to Kenner, then Hasbro bought Kenner, then they lost Marvel to Hasbro. And that was right before Iron Man came out.

https://x.com/preterniadotcom/status/1786563636460159359 New  Original  New  Original  New  Original  New  Original  I have all of the original releases of these, so it seems the differences (judging from the one picture of each) - The new Stormtrooper has green lenses instead of black (were they ever green?) - The new Vader is literally the recent Obi-Wan Kenobi Vader minus the extra battle damaged accessories and with the upper tunic now placed *over* his shoulder armor instead of under it - The new 3PO seems to be a more pale and maybe slightly shinier shade of gold - The new R2 seems to be more of a stark white compared to the original's off-white. Unless these come with some crazy accessories, I'm happy to keep my originals which generally seem better. Bandai does sometimes improve faceprinting (lol on these) and build quality when they rerelease figures, so that's a possibility. The only one of these that really needs a lot of articulation is the Stormtrooper, and mine already has some of the smoothest articulation of any figure I own. Anyway, the originals are all awesome figures and easily the best 6" representations of each of these characters (Mafex be damned *in this case*), so definitely pick these up if you're in the market for great SW toys.

Yeah, but that’s how it was in ANH and literally only ANH. RotS, Rogue One, and Kenobi all predate ANH in the timeline, but he still wears the robes under the armor in those. It’s like he woke up one day and decided “If I’m gonna capture Princess Leia today, I’m also gonna try out a new look. I wonder if she’ll notice me now, uguu~”

Don't have the Stormtrooper so totes picking up a couple of those. The Obi-Wan Vader is GOAT for me, I don't like the robes over the armour look so don't need this ANH take. R2, I prefer the original version, the new one looks too pristine. But Threepio, yeah if he's got that finish to him ala the model kit then that makes him the absolute best Threepio. The previous one is great but the new one's finish is an improvement. Now, if they could also please re-release Han, an improved, less traffic coney Leia, and the RotS Obi-Wan then I can finally be complete.

I’d prefer a new Endor Leia and Han, but I’d love a rerelease of Chewie since he doesn’t really change film to film. At the moment, SHF-wise I’ve got Qui Gon Jinn Darth Maul Yoda Anakin Skywalker (Episode 3) Obi Wan Kenobi (Episode 3) Count Dooku Darth Vader (OWK) Storm Trooper Obi Wan Kenobi (Episode 4) Luke Skywalker (Episode 4) R2-D2 C-3PO Luke Skywalker (Episode 6) Darth Vader (Episode 6 2.0) Emperor Palpatine Din Djarin (Durasteel) Din Djarin (Beskar s2) Din Djarin (Beskar s3) The Child Luke Skywalker (The Rescue) Boba Fett w/Throne Luke Skywalker (Ahch To) Luke Skywalker (Crait) And I’ve got the new Ahsoka on preorder. With Mafex I have just their new Din Djarin and their RotJ Boba Fett. And their Luke is preordered, but that hood is staying down. Nanigans fucked around with this message at 15:29 on May 4, 2024 |

Display wise I go with: SHF TPM - Obi-Wan, Maul, soon-to-be Qui-Gon (in transit) AotC - Mace, Yoda RotS - Anakin Obi-Wan - Vader and, er, Obi-Wan Solo - Chewie (but accessorized to the ANH version) ANH - Threepio, R2, Luke RotJ - Luke Mando - The Armourer, Paz Vizsla BoBF - Boba Fett, oddly enough TFA - Han, all the various Stormtroopers TLJ - Rey, Ahch-To Luke, Phasma RoS - Kylo Ren The only Mafex ones I have with them are the 2.0 Mando and Grogu, a pair of Phase 2 Clones, and BB-8. While I like their ESB Boba, and the chrome finish of their Phasma, their scale is just too darn big most of the time so they stick out too much. Hell, the Clones are too tall as well really but I can just about fudge it. I figure their Bo-Katan should be okay, as long as she goes alright with their Mando it should be fine but I'll probably end up going with the SHF Ahsoka despite preferring the Mafex heads because the latter will probably tower over Anakin. Probably just stick with the RotJ Luke I have for the all black look, I will go to my grave making GBS threads on the SHF Mando Luke's revolting corpse like face.

picked up some more Nendoroids, I'm always surprised at how detailed they are for how small they are. colossal titan playset, amelia watson, calliope mori, and toriel    I love everything about the Colossal Titan set. that it comes with the section of wall he kicks in, that it comes with the titan that eats Eren's Mom AND a 10mm tall Eren's Mom for it to eat(and the titan has a tiny opening jaw so you can fit the head in there), that it comes with the anime-eyed titan that eats one of the Scouts, and best of all that it comes with a both a creepy non-chibi head for the Colossal Titan and also a Nendoroid-appropriate big googly-eyed Colossal Titan face if you want   Ame comes with Bubba and a tiny magnifying glass, and a stethoscope for some reason which I never noticed on her design but they included as an actual separate piece. and Mori comes with a whole buncha crap, including a microphone, glass of wine, her scythe, and sunglasses that you can fit on any of her faceplates.  and Toriel is really simple, a couple faceplates, a couple of arms, and a pie.  just need the Ninomae Ina'nis and Takanashi Kiara nendos when those come out and I'll have all of Hololive Myth. definitely going to eventually pick them up and the figmas when those come out.
