3.75" Collecting Thread

Re: 3.75" Collecting Thread

Whoa. So glad I got the Han TaunTaun now. Awesome display combo.



I was the same way - I think I only have maybe 6 or 7 figs, all Imperial troopers (plus white Boba,) plus the Taun, speeder bike and Jabba (only because all three were about 50% off.) I've been really good with 6".

And it has been easier to resist this line because many figs (Bossk, IG and Zuckuss, quite a few others) came out weird looking, plus they sometimes have that "undies" look to the crotch area and I don't get why they need those visible pins/holes/joints on the legs when the 3 3/4" versions don't have it and have similar articulation. But... some of these figs are coming out really, really nice now - and they just had to take to Hoth. I assume there'll be a Hoth rebel soldier, then I'm done - multiples time.

And re: other scales, I'm 90% focused on 1/6, and do still have a fair amount of 3 3/4" from years ago, but you can have limited love for other lines - I love my "Unleashed" (2 1/2" tall) Hoth stuff and really enjoy the 6" stuff. You just have to be super disciplined.

Well that's the real trick isn't it....

If they ever make a Haslab AtAt to go with this SS I swear I will recreate the tow cable scene smack in the middle of my living room fake snow and all lol

Wait why is the 6 inch SS cheaper than the 3.75 S1

That's the complaint tax. It goes up every time someone complains about 3.75 lol

And it'll cost you something extra. Hot Toys shelf space, all in advance.

That's what I'm saying bro.

Snowspeeder is a brand spanking, all new tool WITH an ALL NEW figure. Has way more sculpting and detail than the Slave 1.





And it's for a bigger scale.



But nah, the older vehicle from 2010 with the sticker details you gotta add costs more. Makes no ****ing sense.

 

[Khev]

I think Hasbro is inflating the price of S1 as an "aftermarket tax" due to the last release selling for hundreds on ebay (well not for long obviously, lol.)

S1 is theoretically tied to Baby Yoda so i?m good.

I can't think of a funny way to follow that at this time But I acknowledge that you understood my reference

HEY A-DEV.


You have $150 in spending money. With it you have these options.


Option A: Six all new, 6" action figures that you've never experienced or played with before. $150



Option B: An all new vehicle with two new 6" action figures. $150



Option C: Repainted vehicle that was originally in a battle pack 10 years ago. $150







Which option would give lil A-Dev the most fulfilling Star Wars toy experience? What would make him feel like a kid again?

 

[jye4ever]

Top option is really $130 and middle option is $140 lol

I don't like the crotch areas of the 6 inch figures. They look weird. Bespin Luke looks like he has a jock strap over his pants.
And they still couldn't get the AT-AT Driver's mask right. Look how far apart the eyes are compared to the real thing.

But that Snowspeeder/Pilot Luke set is indeed a thing of beauty. The outfit even hides the goofy crotch.

I know, but if I did that it would really make C look like a crappy option.

DiFabio has always been a great compiler of information. DiFabio the Compiler.

Those figures all look good. Nicely presented. I'm wondering about that Probe Droid admittedly. I wonder would it be wrong to use that with the 3.75'' figures....I mean Hasbro always underscales even things that wouldn't technically need to be underscaled so I bet their Probe Droid that's actually intended for the 3.75'' line is too small...right? Right?

The other ones though, great as they look. Damn slippery slope.

I got out of this years ago, Black Series is just a spectator sport for me now. So that being said...

That's a killer figure. Let down a bit by the finish of the plastic but that's the price point. Their X-Wing Luke was one of my favourites back in the day.

It's a very cool looking little rendition and you may well be right about the scale, since at a glance I thought it may be under in the 6-inch realm. Given that I own the SSC which is damn near perfect (go figure) I don't see myself needing something like this, although it'd be a fun desktop toy.
