Lol. I’m not trying to be a troll, I just legitimately like diecast.

In reply to Rykrof_Enloe. Doh! I found one Thrawn, but I'm counting my blessings, because I have not seen another.

In reply to Doog. I've been seeing a lot more die cast collectibles popping up on store shelves over the past few years, so I guess these shouldn't surprise me.

I mean they’re not horrible… if you’re a new collector and just need something Star Warsy to put on your desk. They’re good sculpts and nice action poses pulled straight from the movie. I think it’s just that all of us long time collectors expect more “action” in our action figures, a.k.a. articulation.

In reply to Etheangel2220. It's OK for TBS 6" and Titanium, it's just that I would have preferred they not use it for 3.75" figures. It's time to move on. Time for something new.

In reply to Chris Lastovich. No, usually you're not. I guess you feel like you got an ugly tie for your anniversary. ;)

LOL! I’m sure your “friends” at JTA are dishing plenty of dirt on these! They live for this sort of thing.

Generally I’d say so what, it’s something I don’t care about and move on. But now that super-articulated 3.75″ (plastic) figures are such a rarity, this does feel like a bit of a slap in the face. I’ll leave it at that.

In reply to General Hux. Oh, they are not doing well at all. They cant even afford the shack anymore. Now they go by RadioShanty.

In reply to Rykrof_Enloe. Oh I know, and same here. I was just making half a point/joke about it.
