3.75" Collecting Thread

Holy crap I'll bet.



Trump said that if people can just chill out and stop ordering RO Stormtroopers by the case then the figures might gradually start returning to store shelves, lol.

If I ever hit the powerball like one of those ridiculous 1 billion jackpot with 550 million take home lump sum prize I would love to see Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys faces when I put in an order for 500 stormtroopers for my ROTJ hanger bay emperor arrival diorama!

Those reward points would multiply like bunny rabbits discovering **** lol

Dude can you imagine having a 2 million dollar Hot Toys collection and still having 548 million left over for statues and black series lol

Here's some leaked listings for upcoming TVC figures in GameStop's system.



Chirrut, Hondo, and Fives are the noteworthy listings here; they were only rumored before, but this pretty much confirms they're coming.

Very happy about Hondo!

Found this on facebook

Someone did a custom baby yoda to scale and correctly proportioned for 3.75.


This is roughly what it would look like. I'm not sure if a TVC version would come with a shifter knob or frog or anything like that. Might be too small. But then again I think they did the stormtrooper comlink in the past right?



Either way it goes to show that the black series version is just completely wrong for it

that 'Lil baby Yoda looks awesome

 

[Khev]

Holy crap that's freaking awesome, lol.

Rolling the dice paid off and Crait Luke arrived from Amazon in perfect condition.

Looks great on display with true vintage (ROTJ) and new Retro (ANH).

 

[jye4ever]

Very cool congrats

Thanks!

Seeing all three lined up I really love the first two outfits seemingly combine to create the third.

Hopefully we get a TROS Ghost Luke showing a phot of him lifting the X-Wing so that we can have his entire journey represented on vintage cardbacks.

A two-pack of him and ghost Leia together would be awesome too. Not gonna happen but I can dream, lol.

 

[MaulFan]

When you line up all of those card images together, it really defines all the best of Luke through the saga, great display and collection.

 

[Khev]

Thanks MaulFan!

I know right, they really need to release other ST Legacy heroes (Han, Leia, Chewie, Lando, Ghost Yoda and the Droids) on Vintage cardbacks. Seriously at the very least where is Han and Leia??

 

[Dave_W]

I love that the actual Vintage card looks newer than the new Retro card

Trust me the silliness that is the fact that I own an *unpunched* *unweathered* 1984 card compared to a punched 2018 card with fake weathering isn't lost on me, lol.

You?d still need baby Luke too if you want to get technical

 

[Khev]

You know if they re-released the "Separation of the Twins" Obi-Wan w/Baby Luke on a vintage card I'd probably pick it up but otherwise I'm good with just sticking with the Mark Hamill versions of Luke.

 

[MaulFan]

The 3 3/4" offerings of Leia from episodes 7-9 were disappointing. Han was nice, just very limited with 5 POA.

 

[DiFabio]

That Return of the Jedi cardback from 83 is probably more durable than the 2019 retro figure.

Luke in Jabba’s Palace is probably my favorite Kenner ROTJ card.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Where is the best place to get those nice acrylic cases?

 

[Khev]

I get mine from iainsdisplayaccessories-usa.

Awesome cheers! They look much better than the star case protech ones.
