Black series 6" figure collection

Hi all,

Not been around so much as I am not doing so much 1/6 stuff these days.

But I thought you may like to see my figures in other scales etc....

So here are my Black series 6" Star Wars figures (a couple of Bandais in there too)









and of course ESB Bounty Hunters with their 1/6 scale buddies.



Still waiting on Zuckuss in this scale, but he is not available in the UK generally until March 2019.

I do like these but I can't say I am honestly an avid collector, they are just nice to have around.

Nice collection, Paul; I really like the way you have the Troopers set up with the Dewbacks — like they’re in a scene.

Thanks Styker2011. I'm glad you like what I have done with the sand troopers. They are among my favourites.

Great collection and nice display. Both the scene and line-up displays look very good to me.

Thanks GubernatorFan, I am pleased you like the displays. I suspect i might have to redo these soon as I am running low on space again.

OOOh, wow, this is EXCELLENT!! So sorry I missed it earlier. I am sometimes hesitant to click on SW posts in case they contain content that I'm trying to avoid, but these OT figures are wonderful.

And not only that, but you have them set up in a visually interesting and satisfying manner! Love the vintage backdrop for the ANH figures, and I also join in on the thumbs up for the Dewbacks! Your collection of bounty hunters is most impressive. Those stands you have the 6 inch figures on are very classy.

Are you planning to get the 6" Boushh Leia? I'd love that one myself, but not been able to find it for good price in the UK yet.

Thanks so much for sharing, these really brightened my morning.

The vintage backdrop came with the 40th Anniversary Darth Vader. Its reversible too and has a Star Wars banner which fits on top but makes it too tall for this shelf. I think it is supposed to emulate the one Kenner sent out to people with the original figures.

It was the 40th Anniversary figures in 6 inch that first attracted me to this scale and started me collecting. I had the original 12 figures when I was a boy (my mum and dad got them when they were released by Palitoy here in the UK). I loved them so much and collected all of the next 3 releases too. So when I saw the same 12 figures being released in 6" scale for the 40th Anniversary I had to have them .

I got the bases from a chap on eBay, but to date he has not listed any more of them. I would like to get some more, but may need to get alternatives. Its a shame as these are the nicest ones I have seen too.

I would love to get the Boussh figure, but like you I have not found one at an affordable price yet.

That's SO great! I'm glad you could recreate some of your childhood faves and nostalgia in a new scale.

What are your thoughts on that Black Series Vader? I still need a Vader in that scale, but have been hesitant. From your pics he looks better than I thought.

Ahh, yes, I believe I saw these on ebay as well. Was it the same person who also had some round bases with Rebel Alliance logo and Jedi Order symbol?? Cause I had wanted some of those as well, but missed out before they all went out of stock. Too bad he hasn't put anymore out...

Aww, yeah. One of the frustrating things when it comes to so many SW figures in general over here. I'll definitely keep my eye out for any miraculous price drops, lol.

Hi Skywalkersaga,

Yeah that sounds like the guy on eBay. He does an lot of different figure bases, but not the ones I have since I bought them

I think the 4oth Anniversary Vader is very good, and better than any previous versions from the Black series. My understanding is that it was an all new figure.

Yeah it was nice to regain a bit of childhood. I kept all my original figures for a long while in my parents loft. I went to check on them one day and they were gone!!!! my mum had given them to a jumble sale ah well I hope someone else got as much pleasure from them as I did.

Aw, yeah frustrating! Will keep an eye out for any other good stands as well. : )

Thank you, that's really good to know!

Oh my, I'm so sorry... I would have been gutted! But that's a lovely perspective to have on it. :')
