Special – Blue Snaggletooth

Last month I got a bonus from work, so part of that money I decided that I would put towards one of the more expensive figures. After a bit of debate in my mind and some thought, I decided to purchase a Blue Snaggletooth. After some unsuccessful bids on some eBay auctions, I finally won an auction for this figure. It cost me around $130 for this figure, which I feel is a fair price, given what these go for. The condition is decent with a bit of paint wear on his boots that seem typical, and also a spots on his hands and head. Joints are stiff and the body looks ok with a bit of discoloration. This is not a figure I have ever owned, it came in a a exclusive Sears Cantina Adventure set in 1978, and never on a card. They later released a Snaggletooth on a card, which was more accurate to the movie, which was shorter, with a red suit and different feet.

Sideshow 1/6 Scale Commander Gree

Last week at the Edmonton Toy and Collectible show I picked up the Sideshow 1/6 scale Commander Gree. I had my eye on this one for awhile since I have a minor focus on Commander Gree items. I have to say I am very impressed. He comes with a very articulated body allowing to be posed in many different positions. Also a wide assortment of hands and 3 different weapons. The details on the Armour looks great as well, as I always found him one of the more interesting clones to looks at. I got a good price on this as well, which made acquiring him all the more sweet.

April 2012 – Vintage Lando Calrissian

For April the vintage figure I picked up was the Lando Calrissian from the Empire Strikes Back line. I got this at a local toy show instead of eBay and cost me $15. This was one that I did own when I was a kid, but I played with him quite a bit and in the end painted him with pink nail polish. I still have that figure, but is in no condition to display and missing the cape and weapon. The figure I picked up at the toy show is in great shape, very pleased with the condition of him.
