oh it's the 6" scale.... of course hehe st00pid

by **grinchy** Thu Oct 28, 2021 8:32 pm

No problem, hard to see the scale on the table, its a decent size

by **grinchy** Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:16 pm

So i was browsing ebay and came across these two, reasonably priced with slight card damage, for the two i was paying a few pounds more than the usual price for one, so i bought them, i can live with some creasing, looks good in a star case

Nice Ian.
I've been tempted by the Mandalorian figures.

by **chris.75** Fri Nov 05, 2021 5:48 pm

nice pick up Ian, yeah I've been tempted by them too. I did pick up a Retro Tarkin figure though

by **grinchy** Fri Nov 05, 2021 6:17 pm

Cheers guys, i was mainly interested in the boba figure, just a bonus to get the other figure to, I'm mainly waiting for the Jedi retro wave, its hard to resist on these figures Smile

So i just bought this for my shelf, 6 inch scale Luke, one of the better likenesses of Mark Hamill, he is hard to capture in plastic form

Looks really cool Ian. i like the Droids colour scheme Cool

Will you be adding the Black series Boba throne room figure to your collection too?

by **grinchy** Fri Apr 08, 2022 9:47 am

Cheers buddy, not sure on that version of fett, they brought out so many variations, i'm trying to limit my collecting to OT only, this gets a pass as its droids same era

by **chris.75** Fri Apr 08, 2022 5:37 pm

Yeah fair enough, it's good to have limitations o your collection. Otherwise things quickly can get out of control Very Happy

He's the new Fett from the Book of Boba/mandalorian tv shows.

As the prices for vintage figures has just gone completely ridiculous recently. It's kind of forcing me out of collecting them anymore. And as I'm really enjoying my toy photography at the moment. I really like the vintage collection 3.75" figures. Because the sculpt and articulation is great, and they are much more reasonably priced.
So i've been picking a few of those up recently. I particularly like the new range of Mandalorian warriors that Hasbro are producing. So I may pick up the Deluxe TVC Boba Fett (Tatooine) at some point in the future.

Yeah the prices keep rising, i do appreciate the 3.75 figures, and did have my eye on that boba comes in a box rather than a card, see what happens

by **grinchy** Wed Sep 21, 2022 6:11 pm

So i got another of the prototype figures, based on first shots that kenner did to test the moulds
i quite like them now, i wasn't sure at first, heres the boba i got first

So i bought this 6 inch scaled han, love the details on these larger figures, it'll stay boxed, but looks good

Yeah the detailing and sculpt likeness on the black series figures is really good now. I often think that I would be able to get even better shots with my toy photography, using 6" scale. But the extra cost, plus storage not only of the figures, but also of the dioramas I create, would be too much. It's a shame with todays 3d printing technology etc... That Hasbro can't just simply scale down the 6" sculpts to 3.75" size.

by **Commander Clint** Tue Oct 11, 2022 2:09 pm

That's another great pick up Ian.
Well done. cheers

by **grinchy** Tue Oct 11, 2022 3:20 pm

Cheers Chris and Clint, yeah the detailing is brilliant, i agree they should be able to just shrink the sculpt down, not sure why they don't

by **grinchy** Sat Oct 15, 2022 8:35 am

So i had a bit of inheritance money from my Nans passing, decided to invest in a couple of full size Star wars Helmets, first up Black series boba fett, looks a decent helmet, has lights etc, has a nice layered paintjob

Those are great looking helmets. I especially love the fan made DV.

by **grinchy** Sun Oct 16, 2022 3:26 pm

Cheers Clint, yeah the vader is a cool one, thanks matey

by **grinchy** Wed Oct 19, 2022 8:38 pm

I got all three helmets in today, really impressed with the build on them, my favourite has to be the vader though, it is bolted together for display, very sturdy

Very nice Ian. I'm glad they showed up safe and sound. cheers

by **grinchy** Wed Oct 19, 2022 9:23 pm

Cheers mate, yeah it was like Christmas today, lol i might add a bit of electrical tape around the bolt you can see in the second pic, but other than that i'm more than satisfied

by **Cardnut** Wed Oct 19, 2022 11:44 pm

Those helmets look excellent Ian, nice addition to your collection!
