Your Latest Purchase...

Crappy mobile phone image time, because I'm too lazy to turn on some lights and use a camera.



Oktoberfest girl with grape basket. Head sculpt is GACTOYS GC047B.

Jyn Erso head was one of my early purchases, it is from aliexpress and unbranded, but pretty high quality.  Only the Bike is new.

Also included a wedge so she doesn't go and ride off the shelf

Smart thinking, with that wedge. Jyn looks great on that bike, and up to trouble, no doubt. Octoberfest girl looks very nice, although the head and body don't match. Maybe a recoloring is in the works? Or a swap?

The color never matches perfectly, IDK why don't they make heads that match the color of available bodies.

Well, today I finally bit the bullet and pre-ordered the Hot Toys Attack of the Clones R2-D2. I've spent ages agonising over it, thinking I might just get a cheap(er) 1/6 version of him, but in the end I just HAD to have those rockets so he could 'fly'.  

Congrats, Sky. Looking forward to seeing all your Clone Wars figures. Still bums me out we haven’t gotten that Padme they teased.

I know. It's frustrating that HT has made so many other random characters but not *her*....

A flying R2-D2 sounds like a safety hazard, but I'm glad you got one that would lend itself to just about everything.

More like comedy gold! But seriously, since I am 'situated' in the Clone Wars era, I can't *not* have him without the flying feature, since that comes into play so often in that series.

Hot Toys Swoop Bike (The Mandalorian)
Mars Toys (can’t remember it’s real title) Nicholson Joker
Hot Toys Black Widow (black suit version) as seen above in UKShaun’s post
and a desk and chair for the Sheriff’s office.

Nice additions! Hope you can give us the pictures later on. And thanks for the Mods for helping you.

Woohoo or should I say, beep-di-leet-di 
Congrats - another important piece for your Star Wars collection 

Here are my newest additions. Two heads (already customized, but not yet finished) - I'm not sure on the hair of Halle and she has that hole behind the ear that needs some work. Not the best sculpt but workable. And the bartender also needs a better beard. I bought this head before I watched Squid game lol






And last but not least a little basket from a medieval market I visited this year

Ohh, very cool acquisitions and modifications. Is that the Halle Berry Phicen head sculpt? The modifications on that first sculpt are fantastic.

Lovely basket and Halle. But I am struck by the publican head. From this angle, it could pass either for an aged man or an old woman (presumably, sans beard). You have more options, but maybe size would settle the possibility.

Haha true, if you don't know the character from the show and would remove the printed/painted beard it could be turned quiet easily into a woman. Maybe he/she is also both or neither

And no phicen Halle I think, it was the cheapest unpainted head I could get from ebay. $10. Probably the ones with the bad neck quality, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Maybe I will use Ovy's velcro hair technique to cover the gap and make the hair more real.

Oh I didn't notice the sculpted beard. Never mind.
Very nice job on Halle, didn't realize you had to paint her from scratch.

Actually both heads were unpainted before, so you could get that beard of if you sand him carefully before painting? It would work I think

Nice work on both the new heads, Valiarde.

nice!

Wow, very nice paintwork and modifications on both new heads!

This was my first Black Friday since I started collecting figures. I managed to only order 3 figures. Two of which wasn't even on my  wishlist, but as my grandfather used to say: "I couldn't leave them at that price"

This is the one I crossed out from my wishlist:
Lando Calrissian Hot Toys Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Collection - Movie Masterpiece Series

And these two I just got because they were on a deep discount:

TBLeague PL2020-171 - Kier: Shadow of Heaven
TBLeague PL2020-165A - Spartan Army Commander-Black

Plus I got one figure I preordered over 6 months ago:

FLAGSET 73036 Red Alert Soviet Tank Lieutenant Galina

Very nice! Congrats on the additions to your collection!

Some nice grabs.

Sounds like an exciting day/week!

m76, nice haul there! Especially the Black Spartan Commander. I see that KGHobby has been cleared of all its Spartan Army Commanders...

I recently got various 1/12 items: Trinity, Neo 2.0 and Wukong. I'll probably sell Trinity and Neo. I hoped to save some space by replacing their 1/6 counterparts, but they just can't compete. Wukong is looking pretty cool though and was cheap so he will get unpacked soon.

I fell in love with Silver Edition Spartan female Commander head sculpt and recieved it a couple days ago. I have seen all three on Ebay. I find this one stunning!


Forgive my newbie Photoshop faux pas.

She is. I think I got one of them too.
Uh-oh, what did you do? I see you disguised the joint at the wrist, but I can't really see anything wrong.

Looks good.

I manipulated so many things in the photo using Pic Retouch and Airbrush, stray hairs, foot size, shadows (I need to buy another light) and didn't do the best job although I tried.  I guess unless you have the inclination and patience to learn how to use the real Photoshop you have to make do with lesser apps lol! Thanks for not noticing...

Well, I recently bought the Cool Girl Version of the Deunan Knute Figure and the Appleseed Alpha Briareos from HT, as well as
