Haha my eyes are indeed filled with dremeled debris too. Just got done working up a Lumpawaroo custom.

Just an update Smoke, I pulled out my vintage Emperor. The new one is perfect. It was the Anakin figure I was thinking of that was pretty chunky. Madella effect.

I'm waiting for these to be marked down like all the other waves. I dig this line, but I'm waiting for clearance because the fuckers are overpriced to begin with.

Pulse. :(

Again, they survived. At least the box was big enough, unlike the pic below. :/

It is! As is R2.

Of course, those who want them will be paying for that vac-metal. $95 for 6 figures?. :(

Nice! Thanks! I personally find no fault with any of the retro figures. Lots of people talking about "softer sculpting" and shit like that, but to me they feel like the figures I grew up with.

It's hard to be a MOC collector these days. I open mine, but I save the card and bubble, so I care about the card condition too.

Do you know if the 2nd ANH wave is Pulse-only or if it'll be available from Amazon too?

Also, anyone collecting these beyond the OT? I bought the two Mando waves, and Vader and Obi-wan from the Kenobi wave, but I don't think I'll be buying the 3rd mando wave. I wouldn't mind retro sequal-trilogy, Rogue One and Solo stuff though.

As I understand it, the ANH 2nd wave will be Pulse and Shop Disney.

I was only going to collect the OT, buuut?I?m now collecting all of ?em except for those silly, ironically mass-produced, test-shot figures.

I don't collect much outside of Joe, but I do pick up OT figures in the retro line just because I couldn't find them growing up, so far I got the boxed set, the bounty hunter sets, & lastly the ROTJ Emperor

I'm hoping to get the Ep4 2nd boxed set too, I've checked out the retro figures from the TV shows but it doesn't hit the spot for even though they're unique
