Your Latest Purchase...

Aaaah, ni e Imperial Guardian. Can't really go wrong with TBLeague. She looks great!

Nice figure, Kyuzo. Nicely photographed.

Great addition!

That figure looks beautiful in your lighting, kyuzo!


Today my Hot Toys Attack of the Clones R2-D2 finally arrived!!!! Had been waiting for him for ages due to a shipping error, but thankfully he appeared safe and sound on my doorstep this afternoon.

I have a dog client arriving any moment so sadly I can't unbox him and play with him, but it's something to look forward to.... :')

May your R2-D2 (and the rest of your collection) always be safe from those pesky dog clients!

Ha, well, all my Hot Toys are kept upstairs behind multiple closed doors, where dogs are not allowed. So hopefully that won't be an issue.

I'm just impatient to 'play' with this R2 because I've never owned an R2-D2 figure that lights up and makes sounds before. Feel like a little kid with how excited I am over it.

I hope it is everything you hoped for. I love the Sideshow version, but all the compartments open far too easily, which can get a little disconcerting as one handles it. I'm sure Hot Toys must have improved on some of the functionality.

Congrats, S. Once the pup is gone, think of how happy you’ll be once you open it.

@kyuzo2802 Congrats on the Casca pick up.
Out of interest, what is the figure you use for your current avatar, showing someone with an oversize (space?) helmet.

@MeMyself&I Very life-like looking military figures.

I know OneSixthFigures forum (..and similar forums) are no place for politics, but i have to admit, given what is going on in the world (Russia, Ukraine, Iran, US, UK, Europe, North Korea) - unpleasant stuff being played out like some sort of video game, i have started to feel queasy at the sight of those in military uniform.

A 1/6th figure from the past, i picked up recently by Sideshow Collectibles
I am not 100% sure of the correct title for the figure.

The box is printed with the words:
THE DEAD

Attached to the box is a sticker featuring the words:
BIOHAZARD
Subject 1025
LOCATION: QUADRANT 002-C
CASE No.: 030608 - 30070508

There is a 2nd black and gold sticker featuring the words:
SIDESHOW EXCLUSIVE

This version of the character was a Spooktacular Exclusive
For those that do not know, Spooktacular is an annual online Halloween event held by Sideshow Collectibles. Myself, i followed that kind of thing when Susan worked at the company. Since her departure, the even has not been quite the same.

Here is the original looking figure for a comparison:

Cobra, Marion Cobretti 1/6th figure from Sly Stallone Shop

Finally, after spending much time travelling the globe and being held in customs, Cobra, Marion Cobretti arrived, and what a figure he is!
As with the John James Rambo figure, the quality is high, the same in fact.

Thank you and everyone else. Love seeing others' recent acquisitions myself.

It's a 1/6 GK called 'Duchess' depicting a cosmonaut based on the art of Derek Stenning. Wonderful kit, you can see more pics in the link:

Thanks for the link. I assumed it was a figure. Statues are cool also

Ada looks glorious in it! Nice grab!

That throne looks awesome!

@BAD WOLF-787 The figure and throne work very well together.

Great shot, Wolf!

That is a cool throne, and Ada looks right at home on that beast.

Thank you guys for the nice comments, it's very much appreciated!

I'm now in the process reassembling Ada's office just to see how that chair will look in it.

Thrones are often cool to present figures. This is no exception. Also want to add more to my collection.

Nice shot

Managed to finally find several parted-out 1/6 lightsabers (and one Darksaber) that have been on my wishlist for ages. Might not seem like a big deal, but it's at least one step closer to finishing certain WIP projects at least...

There was some budgeting issues with the earlier 1/6 endor bunker.... there wasn't enough filament, since the roof used up 6kg of it(6 reels of it).

Thus during the recent online sales.... I spied a more budget filament... just 1 kg, or 1 reel of it.



Now, I just need to save up for 3kg more of the same colour, and black, to complete the emperor's throne room in 1/6.

That’s cool. Congrats.

That’s awesome. I wonder, could you cast those in resin and sell them…?

That looks excellent. I have two versions of it, but neither one completely does it justice.

Dr Who - Rose Tyler 1/6 figure by Big Chief Studios

Arrived today

The two images above represents a quick out of the box snap-shot making use of the thick sturdy backdrop that ships with the figure.
To be honest, in the future, when i find a home for Rose Tyler, the backdrop will probably not be used.
Please excuse the somewhat wooden pose. For the moment, i do not know what pose to aim for?

In person the portrait looks pretty decent. The likeness to Billie Piper is there.
Quite why Big Chief choose to opt to have teeth on show remains a mystery, as mouth closed would have worked better.

In person the hair looks ok. Big Chief reported at the time that there was an issue with the hair casting.
From what i can see, there are two small casting issues at the front. Not as bad as i was expecting.

The neck, which appears to be made from a silicone type material lacks any features, and the color fails to match the portrait.
The neck on my Rose Tyler appears to have a mark/defect on the front. Compared to a Hot Toys figure, Big Chief failed slightly.

The purple pleather jacket does the job, although the sleeves could have been longer (to hide the wrists)
How long the pleather will last remains mystery.
Why do they insist on using zips with large out of scale zip-pulls?

The purple t-shirt should possibly feature a larger neck. Other than that, it does the job.

The black denim flared pants/trousers are decent enough.

The black boots, made from a softish plastic do the job - nothing too special.

In total Rose has 8 hands available. The hands look decent enough. Not InArt level, better than some hands i have seen. There appears to be some paint on them, rather than simply being unpainted plastic.

Accessories include:
4x wrist pegs.
Silver necklace with silver key (to the Tardis)
Mobile phone - looks ok. The phone screen is simply silver reflective.
Dimension cannon - this looks decent.
Large SP:132 pump-action gun (plastic) complete with adjustable shoulder strap.
Parts of the gun feature some good weathering.

The figure ships with a Hot Toys style 6 sided back with crotch grabber.
The surface of the base is covered with a reflective finished featuring the words 'BAD WOLF.' (the base illuminates)

Other than the neck and upper body, which feels soft, the rest of the body appears to be made from hard plastic.
The joints seem stiff, which is good, as the only other Big Chief figure in my collection (007 Sean Connery) features the loosest joints in my whole 1/6th collection.

All in all a decent enough figure, that is a level below a typical Hot Toys figure.

I think it is safe to assume that this just be the first and last time we see Billie Piper in figure form.
I am not aware of any 3rd party figures?
