my modern collection so far

got this guy as a gift from a friend, same one I got the hoth han set from, bit beaten up, but still a decent figure, not a great likeness, what is it about Mark Hamill's likeness that company's can't get it right, I wonder, but happy to have him in the collection

And finally the child came in a massive box this was just sitting in a load of bubble wrap, palpy there for scale
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
this is surprisingly tiny, more in scale with the smaller scale not 6 inch, maybe its just me

You're right, Hasbro really can't get Mark's face sculpt right.

Nice "Child". It looks fantastic.

cheers mate, yeah Hasbro can't seem to nail his look, but even sideshow didn't nail the 1/6 scale luke , hot toys jedi I feel is the best version out there, haven't gotten one yet

You're on a bit of a modern role lately. Both of them look fantastic, Ian.

Yeah i am on a modern role, i did buy some more vintage beaters for my grandson, but they are getting more expensive sadly

Post a list of beaters that you are still looking for. Hopefully a few of the members will be able to help you out.

Cheers mate, i only have about ten vintage figures plus loads of modern, but shipping is getting out of hand, my last order from the states cost me more in shipping than the item itself, shame as theres loads i'd like to get from overseas

Got the figure in, love the packaging, this one has a removable faceplate so you can get two different looks for him

Well its after midnight, i had a few beers and went to ebay, lol, bought a couple of beater vintage figures for my grandsons collection and then bought another 6 inch scaled 40th figure this time R2

Good choice! I haven't seen the second wave in Canada yet. I picked up the Luke Bespin just because I didn't have any other black series Luke figures and that one looked pretty good. Wouldn't mind having the ROTJ one but I never really saw it here, despite the fact that there were tons on clarence in the states. I'd probably get that R2 if I saw it. Then again, got the VC Slave I recently so I should slow down the modern purchases... lol

Cheers mate, it is a good wave, only need the tie fighter pilot to complete the 2nd lot, not sure if i'll pick him up, favourite for me is the rebel trooper

Just got this in metallic collector cards, just thought they were a nice set to get, have to laugh at the limited edition, over 40 thousand copies, so not limited at all really
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

They are pretty cool, not sure if Theres many more different sets out there this is series 3

Interesting pick up Ian. Are the images similar to the Topps/O-Pee-Chee vintage cards?

Not sure mate, the images are pretty common, nice though

I've had my eye on this twopack for a while now, just took the plunge and won them on ebay, a great pairing, and yoda gets two heads, heres some pics
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
heres the extra head on yoda
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
And the standard head
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
luke gets extra hands so theoretically you can have him in this pose, i doubt it'll hold though

Looks like a fantastic set Ian.

Luke training is one of those figures that Kenner should have done back in the day.

cheers mate, yeah i agree, it would have made a great figure back in the day

Just won this set, Luke and Han stormtrooper elite series, i missed out on this on first release a few years ago, glad to have it on the way, i love the elite line, really well made figures, i have a fair few of these now

Got this in today Die cast Ray Starkiller base, 3 and a quarter inch scale, one of a set of four, i have the Finn, just need Kylo and Phasma to complete the set,
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Also got this loose Rey Jedi training 6 inch scale figure
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

That a great couple of new additions Ian.

Cheers mate, i do like my modern
just did a trade for this the European Luke Skywalker strikes black series exclusive set, looks a nice set, i enjoyed the graphic novel on which its based
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Interesting figure. Its sculpt looks like its based off of the graphic novel.
