I am jealous. I got screwed by an ebayer, trying to buy the single language stormie.

Are those custom or did they get an official release?

I think I've finished my ROTJ Emperor! I just repainted his skin tonight.
More pics in spoilers.
Here he is with another Emperor using the FL head, but with stock paint.
His skin tone looks different depending on the shot in ROTJ due to lighting, but I tried basing mine off this.
Might try replacing his robe at some point, but for now I think I'm happy with him.
Now to finally finish painting his throne.

Thanks so much, y’all!
I've had an awful lot of free time at home with the COVID-19 lockdown, so I decided to make a Star Wars shadowbox for my vintage figures. All of the Death Star wall panels were 3D printed. I used DS Modular Walls as the base but customized the fit for the vintage 3.75" Kenner figures and the box frame dimensions. It does have a glass frame that goes over the front as well but I left it off for these pictures.

I've just made a deal that will keep the Empire out of here forever . . .

Ordered that Carbon Freezing Chamber and the Bespin Escape Leia.
What's the idea with that playset, are they making a separate set to be the other half or is the intention that we buy two of this set? edit - never mind, saw this answered elsewhere. Buy 2 of this one.
It'd be cool if they could find a way to make some of the ceiling with all that stuff that was hanging down.

This has got to be some of the greatest man baby sooking in some time. JTA have long been the leaders in self entitlement and claiming to be the authority on what Star Wars toy collecting should be but this is one of their best efforts.
No wonder Hasbro can't be bothered putting so much effort into the VTC when you get this kind of instant feedback.

I have to agree with them to some extent. They made a big fuss about the Leia not being up to snuff but glossed over a lot of other figures that are in need of updates or reissues. I hadn’t kept up on many of the 30th anniversary era figures so I’ve only got PotF era figures of some of these characters. The photo real printing pretty much make any non armored human characters obsolete at this point anyway.
But I agree, this is a real slap in the face to Hasbro. This set and Leia are a fantastic bone they threw us and these guys just spit in their face for the effort. I’ve realized with slowly building up barge Characters that we aren’t going to get full sets of anything anytime soon. Hasbro purposely spreads things out for balance. Collecting takes time and I’m ok with that. We can’t have everything now.

Goodness, gracious indeed.
How do these guys look at themselves in the mirror?

Yeah but thats just JTA lol. Disney has them blacklisted, and by extension Hasbro, so I wouldn't worry about their toxicity too much

Did they get blacklisted? I didn't know that, well that makes my day. He brought back TVC in 2018 all on his own did you know?
As much as I love toys and SW there is always part of me that is happy when Hasbro doesn't deliver as Paul Harrison thinks they should. His tantrums and outbursts are always fun to see.

Yup. Pauls delusions of grandeur are always entertaining lol. Didn't you notice that for a long time they were only doing retrospective reviews and articles? How they weren't covering toy fair, comic con, etc? Paul lost all his sponsorships, contacts and business invites.
BBTS even wrote up a whole Twitter post publicly announcing how they dropped JTA when it happened.
So for a while JTA had absolutely no new content. No sponsors. Nothing. Theyve gained some new ones since. But notice how Paul never covers the industry events anymore. Now if someone else om the site doesn't pick up the slack in a reactionary way after the news has been made public elsewhere, they don't cover it at all.
Didn't you notice how JTA was completely left out of the recent Black Series Archive fan vote? How they don't get PR packages of new figures anymore?
They're dead in the water now for the most part. I always laugh when he pretends he still has pull with Hasbro.
