  1. I'm throwing my hat into the ring of 1/6th collection threads! I've collected 1/6 scale figures off and on since the original 12" Kenner Star Wars collection. I still have my original Kenner Indiana Jones. I used to collect the Hasbro Star Wars line that was reintroduced in the 1990's, but sold them all about 10 years ago. I've been collecting Sideshow Toys 1/6 figures for years, as far back as the James Bond/X-Files/Buffy & Angel/Army of Darkness/Monty Python lines, but I parted with most of those years ago. My current Sideshow collection consists of the complete Lord of the Rings line, complete Indiana Jones line, and complete (to date) G.I.Joe line. I've only been buying Hot Toys figures for the last year or so, but have already lost control. This week alone, I received the following figures: - Indiana Jones - New Goblin - Batman Begins/Bruce Wayne - Mark V Iron Man Next month I have Captain America and Christopher Reeve Superman coming to me. Okay, so now that I have the history out of the way, here are a few pix of some of my figures. (Sorry for the quality/flash, I'm working on getting a proper light box together one of these days). Hot Toys New Goblin (Spider-Man 3) This figure is a perfect example of how Hot Toys is capable of taking a weak design, and making a beautiful figure. I really enjoyed Franco's Harry Osborn in the Raimi trilogy, and thought his story wrapped up very well in Spider-Man 3, despite all of the problems with that movie. The 'New Goblin' design was never something I was fond of, but this figure really finds a way to make it an impressive design. It is hard to see in my picture, but there are LED's in the glider that light up green. I hat to replace my Spider-Man figure, and Sideshow had me destroy it instead of ship it back. I carefully cut and kept the mask specifically for this purpose. Hot Toys Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark) If you visit the Sideshow Freaks forum, you have probably seen many of the 'opinions' of the Harrison Ford headsculpt for this figure. There were months of delays with this figure, it was originally solicited in January, and my initial reaction was dissapointment over the final sculpt. However, in hand, this is a very impressive figure. All of the gear, except for one important piece, is very high quality. Included is the arab gear Indy wore when he used the Staff of Ra as well as the staff itself, the fertility idol and stand, a cardboard backdrop, and the typical Hot Toys multiple hands. My only gripe with this figure is the quality of the bullwhip. The material that was used is too thick, and the it wasn't braided tightly enough. I have opted to replace the whip with one made by Joe Strain, a professional bullwhip maker who had provided whips for movies like Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Iron Man 2. It wasn't cheap, but 'Raiders' is my all-time favorite movie, so to me it is worth the price. I'll post some more pix once I have it in-hand, should only be a few weeks. Hot Toys Odin (Thor) Not much to say about this one, it may not the most impressive Hot Toys figure ever made, but the likeness of Anthony Hopkins is very well done, and he comes with everything you would expect *(helmet/staff/hands). Sideshow Toys Snake-Eyes (G.I. Joe) This is my tweaked version of the Sideshow figure. I replaced the body with a Soldier Story body, to give it some more bulk, and added a commando sweater. I view this as a hybrid of Snake-Eye's 2 most iconic looks. This was the first G.I.Joe figure Sideshow released, and it is still one of my favorites. Thanks for looking, I'll be adding more pix periodically, and any questions/comments/picture requests are welcome.
