Variations aren’t something that I typically find all that interesting, but I ran into one today that I hadn’t heard of before and was suckered into buying it because I thought it looked cool – a Snap Wexley with a white visor rather than yellow.
Anyone else come across this? A closer pic is available in our forums.
For those of you active in our forums, you are probably aware that I am not a fan of 5POA figures. I could be, if Hasbro tweaked the assembly of them a bit… (customizers, you probably know what I’m referring to).
However, Hasbro’s latest TFA offerings are starting to show some improvement over much of what they’ve been pushing the past few years in this style – head on over to the forums for a quick look (and mini-review) at Sidon Ithano, First Mate Quiggold, Unkar Plutt, and Admiral Ackbar!
There have been some great customs shared in our forums lately – which means a Customizer Spotlight is well overdue!
First up, take a gander at the latest creations by forum member Peakob1 – as always, amazing stuff and Hasbro should take notice.
After that, be sure to hop on over to the customs thread of Uttinniii, who has updated with several new droids.
Forum member Clonetroopr has also been busy, with a fantastic take on a Sith Acolytes from the Old Republic.
Last but not least, one of our favorite customizers, mousedroidhoojib, continues to shine with a great custom of a concept Sith Lord known as Darth Tigran.
Sometimes the addition of a couple simple accessories, to an already good figure, can make it great. Here is a quick and easy upgrade you can do to the current Rey (Resistance Outfit) figure to re-create the final scenes from The Force Awakens.
Things are looking much brighter, and fuller, in the toy aisles as store continue to receive new product. On this week’s episode, Flyguy and I discuss several store reports coming in from all over the US and Canada. Medicom’s MAFEX has stepped up to the plate offering their own take on 6″ scale figures from The Force Awakens. How do they rank against the likes of Hasbro and S.H.Figuarts? Listen on to find out. Gentle Giant is back with another new figure for their Jumbo Kenner line and Anovos debuts their new Kylo Ren ensemble! All of this plus our recent acquisitions on Episode #90 of The Realm Recap.
