^^ i was wondering about that too. just picked up obi wan and qui gon cuz of the 30% off sale at TRU and hoped they'd have ball hips. never picked those up in previous releases but knew that the new darth maul has ball hips. he still evades me. may pick up the AOTC obi wan to mash together with the TPM obi since i believe he's the one with ball hips.

The upcoming Vader with hip swivels...oh my god it's badass.

Gotta look for that Kenobi now- I was thinkning that his body would be perfect for a MU Mentor (Thanos' dad).

[NoodleChow]

oh god i know. the moment i saw it i knew i'd be suckered into buying another vader. my plan is to kitbash all the good features into 1 vader. ball hips, something akin to a ball neck like the first vintage collection vader, 3 piece helmet from the newer vintage collection, and maybe rocker ankles if possible.

t crotch but i have to say this is my favorite Darth Sidious. this is the one from the Phantom menace vintage collection. remove his cloak and see his sith outfit..bad ass

[Jason Abbadon]

Yeah, Noodle...rocker ankles would be cool too...
It's weird that tarkkin seems to have swivel hips- but cool! I'll have him kicking Deadpool's as with some Matrix moves- give him a hangun and katana....
Or stick him with Blade- Peter Cushing was Van Helsing in the 70's!

I never knew tht Sideous was so cool under his robes...I was afraid to look!
If he was naked under that robe... well, seeing a 1:18 old Sith dick is not something I could live with. Nightmares.

lmao... you sick man

[Jason Abbadon]

Hey, If I were Emperor of the Galaxy, I'd probably walk around in just a bathrobe too- who's gonna say anything?
I'll blow up your entire planet if you so much as mention my package is showing when I sit down at a resturant!

Look at Vader- you think anyone tells Mr. Ashma to shut the hell up at the movies? Doubt it.

Being a Sith means never having to say you're sorry.

[eva00kai]

Jason- *claps* very well said brother.

[NoodleChow]

so basically, you'd rock this look?



=D

and man.. buying obi and qui gon prompted me to start watching episode 1 only to realize i only liked the beginning, bits in the middle, and the end. debating whether or not i need that new maul after i dug this guy out from the evolutions pack so they could do some fightin'

lol the clone emperor palpatine...great figure but put is cloak back on please .. ..lol


Best Darth Maul ever!!

[Jason Abbadon]

More black clothes, but yeah...that's my look. I shave my head and everything.

Better to have the darkside and never need it than to need it and not have it, right?
And sometimes you just gotta choke a bitch- if you can lift him up off the floor and shake him like a ragdoll while asking him rethorical questions, so much the better.

"If this is a diplomatic vessel, where is the ambassador? Oh, you're dead? That's okay, I was'nt expecting an answer anyway, this is just a show for the stormtroopers crapping their armor over there..."

[MadMax0905]

Check you Targets!!! I found this one and it rang up at $8.49 but as you can clearly see it's priced on clearance for $3.94!!! Would have bought more but this was the only one I found!!!!

[trebleshot]

Here's a brief recap of what I've gotten in the last week or so:

TF Prime RiD deluxe Bumblebee and Cliffjumper and TFP Cyberverse Ratchet, Arcee and Cliffjumper


And now opened, with Wheeljack:


RtS Solar Sail Grappel and Windcharger, SWTF Darth Vader/Star Destroyer Quad-Changer (got him on clearance for $20), PCC Grimstone w/Dinobots and Salvage w/Bomb-Burst, TFP Soundwave, Bee and Cliff (again)


Close-up of Windcharger and the TF Prime figures

Nice TF haul, Soundwave looks wicked.

The head/face sculpt is solid too.. and you can't have a Sid robe without that hood now. I was going through some of my older Sids that I thought were cool until I got this one.. the cloth hood just doesn't cut it. Way too pointy.

I'd recommend picking him up. His robe is HUGE and ratty, he's more articulated, and his horns look a little better than on most previous sculpts I've seen.

So the past week I've been pretty busy with school and now Toyfair (too many awesome figure pics to look at, so little time!!!) so I haven't been able to post pics from my recent hauls until now. So enjoy peoples!..... ;D

So first up is my haul from Target and Wal-mart last week: Qui-Gon and the Tusken Raider are the wal-mart exclusive Movie heroes wave (w/ the 3-D cardbacks). I also have the Aurra Sing from that wave but I don't really know what to do with her yet, is anyone on here looking for her?

Also, I picked up some more of the new Lego Minifigures wave (basically my "crack" right now, till they get off their asses and restock the MU section) And I was happy to get the Centurion, Leprechaun, and Highlander (there can only be one!)



Also from Target I found the transformers Crossover "Darth Maul" and he is pretty badass...however, his paint could be a little better and I really wish he had wrist swivels...otherwise though, neat figure.




__

Next up is my Lego haul from Wal-mart where I picked up the Lex Luthor Power Armor set. These new DC lego sets are so incredibly awesome, its hard to not just buy every one that they have. ;D
And I took my Lego Spartan minifigures armor to try out on Wonder Woman and I think it looks pretty excellent... then I swapped her parts over to him and..well..its hilarious. XD





__


From ebay comes, ML Unleashed Green Goblin. This is undoubtedly my favorite costume of Gobby's and I really hope we'll somehow get a figure of this costume in the MU line someday...


___


And last, but definitely not least is the set of Microman Batman (& friends) that I got from Arker' DogFashionDisco (thank you man!) They came in awesome condition and I immediately pulled out my custom Mr. Freeze to take a few quick fun shots...

Thanks! He is awesome, and easily the best of the wave 1 deluxes by far. Only one-per-case, so he's damn-near impossible to find.

And the sad thing is, I want another one to keep MOC for my Soundwave shelf. Especially since I won't be adding DOTM HA or Deluxe Soundwave to it any time soon.

Where'd you find Windcharger? I still can't find him anywhere.

^Thanks Vader! And yeah, the background is this neat little "Imaginext Advent Calender" I found on clearance for $4.98 at Target during their after Christmas sales. Its fairly big, and even being made completely out of thin cardboard has some neat features, like the several rooftops, street-level windows, and fold-down "breakable wall" on the left side (good for when Juggernaut attacks).



Imaginext Advent Calendar - Fisher-Price Online Toy Store

Its actually my son's...but Daddy tends to steal it for "picture time" quite often now. ;P

It's also just about perfect with 4" scale figures, as I hilariously found out when picking up in my son's room I found his MU Green Goblin webbed up (with a twisty tie) and lodged face first in the chimney. xD

Thanks, man. That's awesome.. it works really well.

[trebleshot]

That pic of Gobby is hilarious!

Amazon.com. $25 shipped minus $15 GC = $10 total. So only slightly above retail.

Awesome, I'm glad everything worked out. That little display works really well with Mr. Freeze.
