What kind of keyboard is that?

It's a Mac keyboard.

Monk, what do you use for the lighting in your pictures? They look great.

Top-mounted strobe with a rotating head. Then I bounce the flash off ceilings, walls, whatever's handy using various angles in order to avoid direct flash.

I forget just how detailed those blasters are. This fig is just gorgeous.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that mine are my new favorites. Of course, I felt that way about Antilles when I first got him.

-and yes, I do know what an orchestra is, before I get flamed for the funny...

Whats under the helmet?

Ahhh!

Well I finally got my SS Stormie. After ready most of these posts about the issues with the body, I'm glad the only minor complaint I have is the hips and ankles. True the rest of the joints could be a tad tighter but no problems with shoulders,arms,elbows and knees.

This is what I did to fix the loose hips. Basically I inserted two small pieces of silicone in the butt plate to rub up against the hip pins. Not the most sophisticated way of doing it but it works extremely well. Now I just need to do the ankles and this bad boy can stand on his own!
Any ideas on this?

Killer paint job on the Jango sculpt. But curious... with the exception of Boba who didn't suffer from age acceleration, weren't all the clones long dead by ANH? I thought the Empire was just recruiting people by that point.

GOTTA LOVE THEM SKIN TIGHT GLOVES, AT LEAST HIS NAILS ARE TRIMMED OR HE WOULD RIP HIS GLOVES.

Well so far both my troopers joints are nice and tight and stand on there own easily right out the box. I got really bored and decided to see if he could hold the pose from the Image the exclusive came from. It doesn't look it in the pic but he's actually leaned back a good ways but he didn't even come close to falling over.

Sorry for the bad pics but all my equipment for taking photos is packed up right now so I'm stuck taking cell phone pics till I can get it out again

AW SNAP! I got on the waitlist a few days ago, and just got the word - he's processing! :chew

Ahem! Toy Anxiety has Stormtrooper parts in...

Go nuts guys!

Thanks for the heads up but check out the price of the stormtrooper belt plus blaster... $24.99!

They know what they're doing!

Received my exclusive stormie, as I already anticipated it is an AWESOME figure. No loose joints on mine except maybe for the ankles. I did the chest armor bending with a hairdryer and it looks cool.

Sorry for the bad pic with no pose, but I had to put it back on the box until moving to the new house where I'll display my collection better.

 

[pixletwin]

Nevermind. he figured it out.

Just collected my two pieces from a local retailer during dinner break at work. Can't wait to get home early to open them.

I broke down and ordered a second Stormtrooper. I'd like to have two displayed with Vader.
