The Recent Toy Acquisition(s) Thread II

[Capt Hook]

Here is my latest Vintage Star Wars figure that I got today. Squid Head.





Now I have 6 Rebles and 6 Empire/Jabba group. Now after this short little break I will start on 6 Droirs to my old Vintage Star Wars collection that I use to have.

[Coheteboy]

Realized I never opened this bad boy!








And Zarana too





And those were all necessary opens for the following sets...



Lt. Falcon





Barbecue





Low Light





Spirit





Red Dog





Taurus



Mercer





Sgt. Slaughter and his Marauders

[Capt Hook]

Don't like the face on Zaranna doesn't look right. I always wanted the 25th Annivery Slaughter but could never fine him anywhere.

Don't like the face on Zaranna doesn't look right. I always wanted the 25th Annivery Slaughter but could never fine him anywhere.

I wanted the black tank top version like he was in the cartoon but wasn't able to get it and he's fetching too much right now.


Here's the rest of my new acquisitions... The Dreadnoks Set.




BURNOUT is a dud. I don't see the Dreadnoks being tolerant of others so he kinda sticks out. Back in the box! Plus, he comes with a backpack but since he has no hole to plug it in, it's useless.



G'DAY, MATE! I'M GNAGAHYDE! I'm the Dreadnok Poacher!





ROAD PIG is probably the best update in the set



I see Mickey Rourke crossed with Rutger Hauer here.






DREADNOK THUNDER in this set but we all know him as THRASHER, driver of the Thunder-Machine. His sculpt is odd. "Hey, I'm a nice guy... really!"



How does my outfit look?




Zartan's brother ZANDAR is wearing too much pink.


But... at least he looks more deadly than the vintage figure!



Zartan's sister ZANYA


Same body, different legs.




Zartan: Give your daddy a hug! Zanya: Only if you steal me an iPad!



ZANZIBAR, the Dreadnok Pirate had seen better days.






In a disappointing update, they made him MORE naked.




Here's the crew... minus Monkey Wrench.

[BuzzedLightyear]

Legends update - now with 100% more Fantomex.

[Coheteboy]

Who's that ninja dude??? He can totally be repainted into Storm Shadow!

Edit. FANTOMEX IS AWESOME!

[Capt Hook]

So looks like Hasbro lost another name this time THRASHER. Wounder who has it now. I which Hasbro wouldn't let the names go so fast like this I can't stand them calling characters that I know a different name Like they done with Runabout,Hot Rod,Bombshell and now characters like THRASHER and who ever else they lost in the Joe's and Transformers world.

[Coheteboy]

And for whatever reason, they don't have "Thunder" either. They had to call it "Dreadnok Thunder". which makes me wonder why they couldn't call it "Dreadnok Thrasher"?

[BuzzedLightyear]

Updated legends now with Cap and Drax

[Capt Hook]

Well I guess my little break in collecting vintage Star Wars turn into a u-turn for right now. On Friday on e-bay I saw two figures that I use to have a long time ago and well for $10. I couldn't pass them up and the $10 is for both R2-D2 with Sensorscope and R5D4.

Side by side


and comper to what they look like today.


Now this time I will take a break from getting anymore for awild.

[Melonballer]

Might as well post some toy pictures too while I am at it.

G8-R3



But here is the thing that I think will excite the crowd.



Yep, Hot Wheels Knight Industries Two Thousand. Also know as Kitt.

And here he is with fellow 80s TV Star, the A-Team Van.



And with several 80's automotive celebrities.

[Capt Hook]

I just found the A-Team van today at my Grocey Store (Stater Bros.) Been looking for it for a long time Now all I need is KITT. Need to take pics of my cars. Also try to fine a new Ghostbuster car the top broke off on mine.

Here is what I have.



And here is what I'm talking about with my Ghostbuster car.



By the way the Police car is Rosco P. Coltrain's car from the Dukes of Hazzer.

[Capt Hook]

Finally after almost a month I finally got my Peter Pan POP! figure.

[Coheteboy]

I have a lot of toys to add but before I do... uhmmm... how about some book acquisitions?




Signed by Jim Lee





And this comic signed by Jim Lee and colorist.




This is my 2nd copy of this book. My first one is falling apart.



But this one is more special..

[Capt Hook]

Who's that can't read the name on the book? And also who was he ?
