I haven't seen Star Trek Rebels yet. Was that screenshot dirty in the original context?

Nobody sang The Bunny Song in years…

 That was just a guess.

TIE Fighter Pilot from the Black Series 6inch range. Picked one up yesterday. Pretty good huh?

Judging from that photo, impressive detail!

Although I do speak as someone who knows nothing about action figures.

Are all the ones from this Series this well detailed?

That is what I was thinking as well...

 Not all, but I think a good number are.

Yeah, most of the figures in the range and up coming figures look pretty good.

The Sandtrooper looks awesome as does the soon to be released Bossk which looks very detailed.

The new Luke Jedi could have been better. Details are there but the figure looks plain boring. Princess Leia Slave looks better out of the box but near naked skin is always going to be a problem as the joints show up more.

Overall, a really good collection which seems to be concentrating more on the Original Trilogy. Huzzah !

Since we're talking about action figures, look what I spotted this morning on a local flea market stand:

^ I had 10 of those figures and 2 of the vehicles ("Had" being the operative word), although my 2yr-old nephew was playing with my old Dengar figure this afternoon.

VIZ TOP TIPS! - PARENTS. Impress your children by showing them a floppy disk and telling them it’s a 3D model of a save icon.

My dad still owns all of the Star Wars items in that image, with the exception of the Falcon. Most of them are in similar condition or better, with some still having cloaks/weapons. The mini-vehicles in the photo are in slightly better shape than ours, however.

Random thought: I wish they would make an action figure of Luke's Shadows of the Empire outfit.  I always thought that looked cool.

Wasn't there a Shadows action figure line? I have Chewie in that bounty hunter disguise...

Yes, I remember those!  There was a Luke in imperial guard disguise, and a Leia also.

I wish those old Power of the force toys that I grew up buying in the nineties were made better. The newer Vader figures from the Black series to the Vintage collection look truer to how he does, and here is the nineties version where he is broadchested and looks like a Wrestler.

All the early POTF line looks like they've been doing steroids, except for the droids. And Leia looks like Princess Vespa's stunt double. ;)

Mark Hamill revisited his role as The Trickster on the new Flash series, and delivered a familiar iconic line!
