Hasbro appreciation thread.

Prequels, OT, and EU were never on Kenner cards. I don't care about trying to make them look "uniform." Only the "vintage" Kenner figures (1977-1985) should be on the "Vintage Collection" Kenner cards.

With that argument, only figures previously released by Kenner should be released on "Vintage Collection" Kenner Cards.

Meijers all week, all classic lines 1/2 price and the three pack collections are like 16 bucks. Pretty nice.

Random question: what's everyones fav Hasbro figure? If I had to pick one, gotta go with Ephant Mon. Sheer size and detail alone makes him a contender

Well if I had to pick it would be the ice cream guy. The station is going down what you you pick and run to the ex. Pod? Your ice cream maker. Funny thing is that it was a real ice cream maker and the guy was feeding the crew.

Or how about the over size y-wing pilot. Another member of the movie crew not a actor.

 

[Matt S]

Gotta say that's one of my favs too - hard to believe that Hasbro finally made him....and they did a great job on the figure too. Yarna is another of my favs from the obscure side of the collection

Thought I would post some pictures of the ones I like the best. Beside the two I said. The the twins and the other one (I forgot his name). The only Girl Storm Trooper. She was in one issue of a comic and killed herself.

Hard to believe they're releasing an updated Porkins; as good as this one was, the new one looks really good

 

[DCFett]

Picked it up today. $40 smacks! OUCH !

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

I'm fairly certain they can be removed.

Cheers a-dev.

I've asked around on a couple of forums, & it indeed seems to be the consensus.

It's a thinner Porkins to fit into the X-Wing fighter.

 

[jediclint]

I thought the most recent Zam Wessel was well done. Chocked full of goodies, fully articulated, decent likeness(es).

Hermi Odle is another favourite of mine, I even like the softgoods for once.

Jabbas palace/Skiff battle types are my favourite SW figures to get generally. And ewoks, funnily enough.

Really, this was a hard one for me to find. Being he was shown and killed in the same seen (other then when he was calling out his call sign). He will look the same, maybe?

I guess I missed it, what did you pickup today for $40? The girl trooper to date has to be the highest costing (2nd market) that I know of.

My favorites would have to be the TAC McQuarrie figures. Just about every other character I care about has made in dozens of different forms and versions, but the McQuarrie figures just feel like Star Wars history to me.

Agreed!

I love the McQuarrie series, I have the whole set carded & clamshelled.

 

[Matt S]

The McQuarrie figures were incredibly well done.I had Anthony Daniels sign my Mcquarrie C-3po and R2 two pack set. I am also looking forward to the upcoming Weequay. The POTF2 version we got years ago is pretty dated looking now, but this new one looks to be fairly awesome

 

[a-dev]

Yeah he looks better than the Skiff master Weequay.

Yeah, that one wasn't as great as I had hoped. Upcoming one is the 'classic' look for me anyway

 

[a-dev]

Something isn't quite right about the Skiffmaster figure for me. The neck thing maybe, also possibly his legs are too close together which looks at odds with the broad shoulders I dunno.
