So I got in my Mandalorian from Amazon today and he has all of his proper armor pieces. I posted more thoughts on the "Look What I Just Got" thread. My brother also got a Mandalorian but on his the right butterfly shoulder joint is set in at an angle so up at the top it's kind of poking out. It doesn't limit the shoulder's hinge and swivel capacity in any way and honestly the butterfly shoulders are kind of useless on this figure so there's no real problem there. Thankfully it also isn't a visual detraction since unless you were told about it you might not even notice it but he asked me to share since it is something to observe.

Gamestop exclusive Jedi Revan and some "Heavy" Battle Droid are up for pre-order for an estimated February 2020 release.

Found Wedge at Gamestop today.

Bounty hunting is a complicated profession . . .

After seeing that the Walmart exclusive Jedi Knight Luke was essentially a reuse of the old Jedi Luke (right down to the removable shirt piece) with a plastic tunic and no belt, I decided to update that older figure on my own to save the stress of trying to track the new one down once it hits (Walmart exclusives tend to be figments of imagination in my area...as they never tend to materialize.)

Using the new Yavin Luke's head, I was able to modify both it and the Yavin Luke body to allow it for easy headswap, between the two. It was a bit tricky and required some forward thinking, especially because of the new neck construction on Black Series figures, but I managed to get it to work. The left hand from the Yavin Luke also fits well onto that older Luke body, allowing the skintones to match (although getting that hand off the older figure was TOUGH.)

I might pick up another Yavin Luke...possibly the exclusive version, so I won't have to decide on one or the other, but if not, at least I know this works well enough for the Jedi/Final Battle Luke and that I won't need to stress hunting for it.

Luke . . . Listen to me carefully . . . Run!

Found Clone Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi at Walgreens. Amazing head sculpt and digital printing. Too bad I don't have any Clones to go with him.

Hope they do a Clone Wars Anakin.

You killed my father!

I've killed very many fathers. You'll have to be more specific.

It IS lol!

Luke fights Vader shortly after Yavin between Ep4 and 5. Obviously Vader has no idea he has kids or who Luke is at this point.

It goes exactly how you'd expect. Vader slapping Luke in one single move and disarming him lol

Fallen Order

SlamSlayer · 11-18-2019, 08:43 AM

1/6 Bandai Stormtrooper model kit.

I wanted to take at least one shot of him clean and shiny because this bad boy (and a few of his friends) is getting weathered into the Imperial Remnant to go with the upcoming Hot Toys Mandalorian and Sideshow Mythos Bobafett figure coming out.

Tim · 11-18-2019, 10:18 AM

The purge trooper is only apart of the game bundle in the states right now. Unless you’re in Canada.
I think they’re gonna let him be singly sold later on. My local GameStop said they only got enough to do game preorders. So idk

SlamSlayer · 11-18-2019, 10:28 AM

Yeah gamestop exclusive with the game. But they do him to me without buying the game. So depends on your store
