I've got this little putty stuff at home..i forget the name of it. i'll take a pic later. I make a small ball and put it under a figures foot (just one will do) and they stay up!!..it doesn't dry hard so you can always easily remove it.

*SIDE NOTE. i've only now just started putting lots of figures back up on shelves...now that i purchased a few... the attempted suicide rate is alarming, and i've got some BIG hefty figures way up high. Going to have to work on that before something breaks. I hate when then take a dive and take a quarter of a shelf's figures with it..

Anyone that takes a tumble more than twice gets sticky-tac on their feet. Normally that works fine- but i think my Rio has weak ankles and that's where the falls are starting...

Even now, all these cycles later, Luke's mind still drifted back to his youth. Something always seemed to tug at him in his quiet moments. The droids, Ben, his choice to stay and help his Uncle. Some kind of force, deep inside of him, haunting him. Telling him that he had taken the wrong path . . .

Finally ran into the Mudtrooper Han today, and since my Walmart was clearing Black Series out at 14.99, went ahead and grabbed him along with a couple of battle droids.

The Mudtrooper Han is a pretty neat figure, but I didn't want mine to be Han under the mask all the time, especially when the Han headsculpt is actually pretty good. What surprised me though, was that it fits perfectly on the original Han figure with no modding necessary, with a near perfect skin tone match.

While I honestly wasn't a huge fan of Solo or young Han, I was surprised by how much I actually liked this headswap, and it's gotten me to pay attention again to a figure that I really hadn't spent much time with in years.

"Mimban Sentry"

En Sabah Nerd · 05-06-2019, 02:55 PM

Findsman found. I've always been a fan of Zuckuss (and 4-LOM) and it really irritated me that this figure wound up being a Disney store exclusive in the states since there aren't any near me. Despite the wait though an online seller finally had him for an agreeable price so I'm glad that patience paid off. Probably the only thing worth griping over is that his jacket limits his full articulation and can also make it tricky to figure out just what all movement he has anyway. Then again he's a shorter fella who just stands around in the movie so it's fine to sacrifice some movement for a jacket that actually came out rather nice. The sculpt and paint are fantastic though, particularly his head/mask, and then for whatever reasons I'm really digging his hands.

Just showed from hasbropulse. Top is a bit creased but I still love it. Really brings back memories. 20 years ago,my mom drove my brother and myself to toysrus at midnight. Plastic swimming pools full of Star Wars figures.

Awesome pick up! I definitely love the packaging on them.
