1/6 Hot Toys - MMS755 - Episode I: The Phantom Menace - Droideka

Went for 2 with OSK, finding the space for them is a problem for future me

I think I need 2 because I need one for tpm and one for aotc. I went all in on the aotc line and I feel like the set needs an extra separatist figure. This one is a tough. It could go quickly like the B1 or sit in stock like the super battle droid.

Wow... I didn't realize there were 200 figures of OT Star Wars.




Lucky!!!

You need a cavern just to store all the boxes the figures come in.

I have a ~700 square foot crawl space attached to my basement/display room and it is packed with statue and 1/6 figure boxes. I need to spend a week of vacation numbering the boxes and the display pieces so in the event of my untimely demise, my kids can figure out how to box and sell everything...

I should clarify that this isn't a typical crawl space, it's plastic lined and insulated and is essentially just an extension of the basement...but is only about 4-5 feet in height.

Are you a serial killer?

 

[darth dennis]

Are you a serial killer?

Funny you ask. As many know, I've got a lot (9) of life size Boba Fetts in my display room, all on mannequins. I've got pieces and parts of several mannequins stacked in my crawl space and recently had a plumber who needed to get in there. I had to tell him "I'm not a serial killer, those are just mannequin parts..."

 

[Wor-Gar]

How did you explain the smell?

Can't wait for this, looks huge.

 

[agonistes86]

Horribly posed, but it gives a great sense of scale, yeah. Really looking forward to adding the first 1:6 Droid to my collection.

Nobody…?
Only me…?





That’s what she said
I had to, sorry.

Yeah this is another PT design I love but in the movie I could never quite figure out how this high tech machine-gun/deflector shield/rolling megadroid existed decades before ANH only to be "replaced" by stormtroopers and IG-88. Like was there a zombie apocalypse in the interim?

Given what a mess a lot of the tech and planets looked like, I kinda saw it as a post-war doldrum for tech and culture. i.e. the fall of the Republic after a highly destructive war knocked everyone back many years, with the Empire being brutalist and utilitarian, cutting costs to spread their control far and wide. I guess for them life was cheap, mechs weren't.

This is being generous; it's not like this was illustrated in any of the media we saw.

I think you may be giving Lucas entirely too much storytelling credit here…

Yes. It's a venerable tradition for this franchise.
