Hasbro Star Wars - IG-88 - Or maybe its the Death Star 2 main computer.

Was in the local supermarket and from a habit which i can't seem to doing even though i don't collect anymore i thought i check out the toy aisle, which i always do anyway. Looked at the new Hasbro 3 3/4 IG-88 and thought  "your mine"



EU - IG-88 > DEATH STAR 2 MAIN COMPUTER, fair enough.

Been a while since i actually bought a Star Wars action figure that's not a Clone or Stormtrooper, this guy is quality!  Great detail and lots of articulation, which is much better than the 1/6 scale one i got up in the loft somewhere.

All i got to do now is resist buying more except some Jawas, they'd be cool to get.
Not as affordable as i remember?

Star War The Clone Wars - Clone Commanders -

All the clone commanders from hasbro that ive so far bought Clone Commander Gree, Clone Commander Cody and Clone Captain Rex.

Really like these figures, so much better than the on i had like 10 years ago but then they where half the price.

Lovin Season 2 of The Clone Wars, which i now get to watch on starwars.com which has changed since season 1 which i think was only available in USA.

Star Wars The Clone Wars - Commander Gree -

Picked up a new clone commander from my local supermarket surprisingly, noticed that the shop had a new toy section and being geeky like i am i went and had a look to see what they had. Caught my attention was the excellent selection of star wars figures. When ever ive been to Toy-R-Us all the good star wars figures have all gone but at the supermarket they had all the good ones,sweet.



Went ahead and picked up Gree to add to the my clone Commanders Cody and Rex. Would have bought R2-D2 and C-3PO but i think they were releashed last year so no longer sent to shops. After i left the store and returned home i regretted not buying the Jawas, OT goodness.



Quality little figure, really dig the design of the clone in the series and it looks like all the the clone are really accurate to the on screen conterparts. Paint app is nice and clean, articulation is lacking but then a figure at the size woud have to loose articulation over how good the figure looks.



Gree has got to have one of the most unusally hair cuts in the show so far, from production art ive seen looks like there going to be even more crazy haircuts to help the clone indivdualise themselves. Removable helmet looks and fits perfectly.



Unlike the plain white cannon fodder clone, Gree comes with a pistol and holder and a nice bondilear over his chest, which is scuplted to fit around he figure perfectly. Figure also comes with a big chunky projectile toy (different to what shown on the packaging) but not a fan of those so did'nt bother to take pics of it.



Saw Commander Gree in the latest Geonois arc that was outstanding, did'nt speak at all if i remember.Ian

Revoltech Neon Genesis Evangelion

Had a little play with my revoltech EVA's which i found stashed at the back of my bits and bobs draw. Took me quite some time to get these in the poses i wanted them, i think that why i stored them away after getting a little annoyed at not getting them to look like there posed on the back of the boxes.



First revoltechs i bought at Anime Expo in London, also got the summer version of Yotsuba, some Macross Valkyrie and Regult and maybe a few Gurren Lagann's.



The blue upgraded EVA Unit 00 is my favorite, great looking colour and comes with the best accessories.



"WHY!" can't i get Unit 01 to stand in a great berserker pose, lol. Platoon style pose instead, the head and hands for berserk are really cool little accessory.

Doyusha 1/144 Macross VF-X2 Game Colour Vf-19A

Recently acquired another die-cast macross fighter through Macross World Forums which i think is quite cool. Is a production model of the YF-19 from the Macross VF-X2 game. Already got the YF-21 which i like but as with that one not a detail as i would have liked but thats just because of nit being die-cast metal.

Under the supervision of "Shoji Kawamori" is cool, knew he designed the VF-19A head but not the colour scheme.



Excellent packaging just like all Doyusha 1/144 Macross fighters. Excellent box it kept in, like a jewelry box.





Has swept back wings which is cool but don't remember that happening in Macross Plus.





Birds eye view



Looks a bit dull underneath.



Awesome little detail is the "No Step" warning sign on the wings, letters are about half the height of a millimeter.

Dragon Ball Z : Goku and Piccolo Driving Lessons

Out and about at the weekend gone and something that i never see here in a UK was one of those machine were after putting £1 you turn the handle and get a little toy, not sure what there called? The ones which they had where Dragon Ball Z which immediately got my attention as its something you don't see much of here.

Got my money out and got a real result as i got the one i wanted, which is Son Goku and Piccolo-San in a car from a filler episode i remember really enjoying. Rest of the bunch, think i got one of the best.



Got the one i wanted straight off so walked away happily, great little toy and really good quality for how much it cost. Taking it to work to put on the desk. Great expression and sweat/worried drops.

Best 2 minutes from the entire episode.....
