Stone Cold Storm (Alt Take)
Alternate take from the original ‘Stone Cold Storm’ post of a few months back. That image nearly delivers the goods, but ultimately is just a bit too dark. This one’s been begging to see daylight… so voila.

Buying Notes on the Vintage Stormtrooper Check out the current vintage Stormtrooper listings here. The vintage Stormtrooper is among the most iconic of the vintage Kenner figures. The good news is they’re plentiful and you can pull a gorgeous, like-new one off the auction table for not much dough. Certainly no more than $15 delivered. […]
Armed to the ‘Tooth.
I’ll be damned. Two of my favorite vintage figures together in what may very well be one of my favorite shots. Barkeep, I’ll drink to that! Now the red Snaggletooth has some special memories for me. First, back in June of 1978, I recall that I found him for sale on the shelves of a […]
The Darth Vader All-Stars.
I promise you this: one day (and it won’t be long) I’ll present Darth Vader in the company of henchmen other than Snowtroopers. Looking back, this is now the fourth photo I’ve done of the Vader/Snowtrooper pairing. Ugh. Buying Notes on Vintage Darth Vader Check out the current vintage Darth Vader listings here. A nice […]
I, Mandalorian.
Two in a row for Boba Fett. I normally like to keep things distributed evenly, but sometimes one can’t help but get lost in the trance of a great action figure. Also I love that in Star Wars the smugglers, pirates, and bounty hunters all give their ships really colorful names. But you’ve got to […]
Dirty Deeds.
This photo raises the question: can little plastic guys under 4 inches tall command fear and respect from literally anyone that crosses their path? Not sure about you, but I’d say the answer remarkably is ‘yes’. See you at Comic Con!
Imperial Gunner Redux.
Every so often the urge to do some housekeeping kicks in and I focus on re-shooting an earlier photo that doesn’t quite stack up. This is a good example of that. The version I did of these figures last November started rubbing me the wrong way from day one. This version I can finally say […]
CZ-4.
Back to the front! This photo is actually from April ’09 and was among the very first taken for this website. I just noticed it among some archives and was surprised how much more I like it than the photo that I originally chose to post. Feels a little funny though — this is the […]
Famiglia Rancore.
Let me make this perfectly clear: the vintage Rancor Monster and his chubby buddy the vintage Rancor Keeper flat out R-O-C-K.
Yak Face Abides.
Pump thy fist and behold the Yak Face! He’s number one with a bullet on the list of legendary toys made in the likeness of entirely unknown Star Wars characters. I mean you could be a serious fan of the original Star Wars trilogy and not be aware of this guy. Did he carouse on […]
