Strange Crew
Super7 ReAction and 5POA Finds
More Super7 ReAction pickups - and a Star Wars Retro Collection figure I couldn't resist.
Neon Frankenstein was the first Luminators/Bootleg inspired ReAction figure I saw, but I was never able to find him in person until now. Absolutely incredible colors. Gorgeous box art.
I might pick up another to display in package.
The McBain Simpsons figure was a big surprise. I've never seen these in the wild. Then they suddenly show up at the store near my office - on clearance - to make room for the new Troy McClure line.
Fun packaging, but I wish they did more on the back to homage Kenner's run of toys from R-rated properties.
Prototype Luke Skywalker speaks for itself. An esoteric extremely niche release in initially-repellant colors with a chrome foil package? Sign me up immediately. This one is going up on the wall as-is. Stunning presentation from a company known for lackluster packaging (I still had to peel off that awful Retro sticker)
And lastly, the Parks and Rec figures. Fun, but ultimately very plain.
My partner is a huge fan of the show, and these were on deep discount to make room for wave 2.
Accessories are very neat - but the packaging is not. I didn't even take photos of the back, they were so painfully boring.
On another note, the figures of Aubrey Plaza and Rashida Jones (not pictured) are very pale compared to their actual actresses. Which is especially noticeable when packaged next to a photo of them. Pretty lame.

Disney’s “The Godfather”
Growing up as a child of the 90’s and early 2000’s, I absolutely adored Boba Fett. And why wouldn’t I? He was the mysterious, badass bounty hunter who turned out in the EU to have a warrior’s code of honor. He looked cool, he kicked ass, and he was generally awesome. Unless you only watched the movies, in which case, he’s that chump who got taken out by a blind dude. Anyways, Disney wants to make new “Star Wars” content, which means that almost every single character’s getting a show or movie. But the thing is, the average, non-super nerd has only seen Boba Fett go out like a loser in the movies and has no reason to think he’s all that. So Disney, seeking to fix that, decided to bring him back in “The Mandalorian” and show people that yes, this guy is in fact the biggest badass in the galaxy. And after reestablishing Fett’s cred, he was then given his own series, where he pretty much goes through the plot of “Dances With Wolves” and comes out as a major crime lord. It was awesome. He rides a kaiju and fights a mech. Anyways, I love him and grabbed the “Star Wars Retro Collection Boba Fett (Morak).” The question is, though, as awesome as Boba Fett is, is this figure a worthy addition to your “Star Wars” collection?
Tumblr media
We’ve talked about the Retro Collection before, but let’s rehash for any new readers. The line recreates the figures and aesthetics from the original “Star Wars” toyline In the 1970’s. This means that the figures tend not to be screen accurate a lot of the time and have very simple designs with limited articulation, but this is very intentional, since it’s meant to look like a toy you’d find in those ancient days of old. The figures as a whole tend to come with a few accessories, at most, and articulation in the legs, arms, and neck.

The friendliest little mob boss.
This Boba Fett is no exception to that rule. In terms of articulation and design, he’s not exactly revolutionary. What you see is what you’re going to get, but this does give an excellent trade-off. This Boba Fett is actually pretty screen accurate, with a great amount of detailing. Unlike the first Retro Collection Boba Fett, which was designed to look like the original toy from “Empire Strikes Back” instead of the actual character, this figure is very screen accurate, which is due to how he’s meant to match an on-screen character. He has deep, fresh colors that reflect how the character is restarting his life and sculpted clothing under his armor that doesn’t get in the way of the toy. As a nice call-back to how the first Boba Fett toy was supposed to have a firing missile, this Fett’s jetpack looks like it can fire a missile at first, though it can’t.
Tumblr media
Awesome supporting cast sold separately.
Boba Fett comes with two guns he can hold in his hands: his iconic gun and a space pistol. This actually brings me to my two big complaints with this toy. First, he doesn’t have a tight grip on his guns. If you’re not careful, he can and will drop them easily. Considering they’re small and black, you can imagine how easy they are to lose. The other complaint is that they can’t be stored anywhere. Fett has a sculpted hoister on his leg, but it can’t actually store either gun. Basically, you will lose at least one of those guns. There is no denying it. It is the will of The Force. This is actually a step up from the first Retro Collection Boba Fett, though. Only one of that Fett’s hands could hold a gun, and even then, he couldn’t hold it well. So in comparison, this is great.
Tumblr media
Looked away for two seconds and already have no idea where these went.
Retro Collection Boba Fett (Morak) is supposedly available at retail for about $10. I say “supposedly” because the Retro Collection tends to be very hard to find in physical stores, at least where I live. I actually got lucky and grabbed the last one Walmart had. The figure is meant for collectors, but kids would like it a lot too. Just make sure they’re above the “eating small items” phase. Would I recommend this toy? Honestly, yes. Aside from my complaints about his weapons, he’s a fun toy who would go great in a “Star Wars” collection. Now remember, the Retro Collection is hard to find, so if you see Fett in stores, don’t hesitates. This is JL, signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!

My Office Space

This is my office/gaming space. My fiance got me a bookshelf today, so I was finally able to get my stuff up the way I wanted!
I got a little bit of everything. Mostly all of my Fallout, Pokemon, and my furry stuff. Some movie and TV stuff too.
(I even got a custom Cyrus plush in there as well as a custom of my sona, Kaaza. And of course my Nick Valentine plush from the amazing artist QuinnDeckerArts that I got back in June from a pre-order.)
