3.75" Collecting Thread

[Reefer Shark]

That would be cool! I automatically buy pretty much anything I can find that's hoth-related. No sign of that damn wampa set here though. I saw one once when the Solo stuff started to hit, and bought a few Black series figures thinking the wampa will be around in bigger numbers

A repack of the Black Series Leia in Boushh disguise was announced at Unboxing Toy Con in Mexico for TVC.





Apparently she has face printing too, but I'm not seeing a lot of Carrie Fisher in that likeness - especially when compared to their new Force Link Hoth Leia.

Looks like the TD is still glued in the hand. No!!!

Yeah, that’s a bummer. Overall this doesn’t seem worth it for people who own the first edition.

Isn't that figure still available at retail from the last time it was released?

Weird choices. I prefer the one from OTC or whenever it was anyway.

Yep, I got one in a set from BBTS after the Barge funded. TD is sculpted to the hand and the headscult was never that good to begin with so face printing is worthless. It’s only with having as Boushh.

I'm buying this and just like those ol' dudes on the SNL SW toy collectors commercial, I'm one to open, one to stay in the package and one just to be safe.

Great looking set, though the TIE pilots in Solo don't have the tubes connecting to their chins like in the OT - they go from the chestbox to their back armor.

I just got the new Force Link Vader in the mail. Beautiful figure.

Nice score! He looks great, especially for a 3.75" inch figure!

Is the head on Vader on a ball joint? I wonder if I can replace the heads on some of the older figures with it.

 

[Captain Clown]

Yep, it’s on a ball joint. They’ve used a ton of differently sized ball joints on Vader in the past so it might be difficult finding one that fits.

Finally put together one of my grail figures this week! It's the Legacy ESB Boba Fett with the beautiful Force Link TLJ Boba Fett head.

Spoiler'd some pics for size.

Pictured here with the SOLO Force Link wave 3 ANH Vader:

I think I can confidently say I won't need another Boba. Now I just need to kitbash a good ANH Leia.

I was inspired by this guy on reddit who did this exact combination. https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarscollecting/comments/7njev7/custom_boba_fett_force_link_375_helmet_on_tvc_esb/

That looks fantastic man! Did the force link Fett head just fit right on the ball joint on the Legacy figure?

 

[Captain Clown]

Thanks!

It’s sitting about halfway on the ball joint right now, since if you press it down all the way onto the ball it looks like he has no neck. I might try filling in the extra space so it fits better eventually, but there are no problems when he’s just standing there.

Did Hasbro release a Qi'ra figure in her "Kessel Run" attire?

 

[Captain Clown]

There's this one, which is pretty close minus the cape I think?



I can't remember exactly what she wore in that scene though. I'd adore a figure of her from the yacht scene, with her fancy dress and hair done up.

 

[Khev]

That's a really nice looking set and I actually wanted her without the cape so that's perfect, thank you sir!

As for the yacht I assume you mean the scene where she and Han are first reunited? Yeah she looked spectacular in that dress.

 

[Captain Clown]

Glad I could help!

Yeah, that one. That's my most-wanted Qi-ra figure. I've held out on the other versions in hopes they'll make it.

 

[kalzeth]

Agreed. That’s the one i want too.

Finally found the BS Old Republic trooper at a great price and snagged the Hover Tank and Death Trooper from TVC wave two. The Nest figure my EB got in looked meh with its paint apps.
Just need her and a Hoth Trooper to have waves one and two.

Seriously considering taking the plunge and going for The Old Republic vintage figures, already have Malgus and a loose Shan, but to have then in cardback wiuld be pretty slick, big time with Revan coming.
