Oh no, I wasn't expecting the Spider-Verse look, just don't think it really pops the way I remember the comic one doing so. But the other figures in the nice wee display up there would seem to back up that this is relatively on point.

There are many reasons to appreciate Bandai's Star Wars line but one that doesn't get enough love is the perfectly sized packaging. The Luke and Obi-Wan reissues just turned up and they're in these lovely, compact, space-saving boxes that put literally everyone else to shame. Anyway, their AHN Luke is the perfect farmboy goober, it's won me over on a look I honestly never liked much (Bespin Luke was always my A #1). Tempted to try and find one of those Black Series Landspeeder sets with the dumb hat and poncho now.

Huh, SHF have a TPM 25th anniversary announcement in April but they already reissued Obi-Wan this month, and announced reissues of Oui-Gon, Maul, and the B1s months ago so... (please be Padme and Sidious, please be Padme and Sidious)

If it were, I'd probably buy one to troll a pal at work, he has a strange love/hate fascination thing with the Binkster. Hell, make it a Jar Jar and Boss Nass two-pack. A Ki-Adi Mundi would be nice but this is Bandai we're talking about, they rarely stray far beyond leads and troop builders. Maybe a droidekka?

Retro Snow Serpent doesn’t have an AK, no sale. I’m not sure the Todd Batmobile price point is a fair comparison for a 1:12 Ecto-1. It’s just a big slab of mostly smooth black plastic with few paint apps, if any. Ecto-1 is an asymmetrical pile of garbage (in a good way) with a lot more going on, various tampos, bigger interior, people would want all 4 to fit in it, etc.

Yeah, honestly I look at the Twins awesomely ridiculous outfits with the sash and single pauldrons and cannot think of anything more soul crushingly boring than to put them cheap suits. It almost offends me.

A bunch of Joes showed up today and they're all lovely but I'm only displaying the OG  Roll on Zap, Flash, Short Fuze, Grand Slam, and Steeler. (Duke, Recondo, and Quick Kick are all awesome but I just ain't got the room currently, need to sort out some new shelves, gah)

They made a nice retool of it for the 25th line, more details, an actual sealed canopy, etc. They could probably just rescale that for 1:12 and it'd work fine.

I don't do 1:6 but that's certainly the closest anything's ever come to getting me to reconsider. Proper wow.

While I can imagine them doing a basic, blue paint job version of the HISS sans electronics et al, I doubt they will touch that Sentinel ever again. But what they could do is make a new, smaller one based on the awesome MvC design. Hell, make it Mango and I'd buy it in a goddamn heartbeat.

It's honest to gosh the first time I've seen a DBZ design and actually liked it, as opposed to finding it utterly hideous.

Yes, the contrast between Emily and Lenny on the Joe team, or the dudes on the TF one, with the guys on the Marvel and Star Wars stuff is pretty stark.

Kinda baffled at Hasbro going back to the plastic hood well for Sidious when their last couple of RotJ versions had perfectly fine cloth ones but oh well, it's better than nothing and it's not like Bandai are likely to do him anytime soon.

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.

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.

The colour balance of your pic is hosed tho, your Yoda looks almost radioactive. In all the promo shots and videos I've seen of him, he looks like death plus that thousand yard stare thing. Ugh.

I would just like to add that the Batman '66 Nightwing design is incredible. The flares! The chest hair! Also, does this open the door to a '66 Jason because I'm trying to imagine that dynamic and it's cracking me up.
