Obi-wan Kenobi vs Jango Fett action figures

300th Blog Post

18 months, 50,000 views and 300 posts on I'm still having a great time creating this blog. Originally I started this as a place to show off my collection but over the last year and a half I've gotten a lot more confident in my work and have really enjoyed recreating scenes from Star Wars, so to say thanks to all the visitors and followers of this site, as I wouldn't have bothered this long without you, I've decided to revisit my top three most viewed posts and try to do these figures a bit more justice.

3 - Galen Marek aka Starkiller

This image is based on the cover art to the first Force Unleashed game. Originally when I posted this figure the image was just Starkiller standing alongside Juno and Kota, you can see it here.

2 - Darth Revan and Darth Malek

Very simple photo here of the apprentice bowing before the master but with the red lighting I thought it was a strong image. My original post of these two can be found here.

1 - Pre Vizsla

This image showing Obi-Wan and Vizsla squaring off is a recreation of a scene from the TCW episode, 'The Mandalore Plot', one of my favourite episodes of the TCW so far and I'm glad to see that other people find the Pre Vizsla figure cool as well. Here you can see the original post, this was one of the first times I attempted to pose figures in a scene and I think you'll agree this blog has come on along way since.

I still have a lot of my collection to share but going forward I hope to have a much bigger emphasis on recreating scenes and other dioramas, thanks again for following and check back soon!

Aurra Sing and Young Boba Fett Action Figures

Since they appeared together in TCW last season I decided to post Aurra Sing and Boba Fett together. Above Boba can be seen holding his father's helmet, this is actually taken of my Jango Fett figure which was I blogged a few months back.

The Boba figure comes with removable body armour and a Mandalorian style rocket pack as well as similar pistols to Jango Fett's DL-44s. Aurra Sing also comes with a pair of pistols and as well as her sniper rifle.

Mandalore the Ultimate Action Figure

The leader of the Mandalorians is known as the Mandalore, this is Mandalore the Ultimate from the days of the old republic around the time of Exar Kun and Ulic Qel Droma. Mandalore the Ultimate appears in the Tales of the Jedi comics and gets mentioned in the KOTOR games.

With this post I have blogged all my Mandalorian figures as current so I also included an image of all nine figures I've collected.

Death Watch Action Figures

A Mandalorian faction known as the Death Watch shows up in various Star Wars stories, this group appeared in TCW under the command of Pre Vizsla, see below for an image of Vizsla with his warriors.

Jodo Kast Action Figure

Jodo Kast was a bounty hunter who attempted to impersonate Boba Fett by wearing Mandalorian armour and trading under his name. Naturally Boba wasn't pleased and their epic confrontation can be found in the darkhorse comics.

Jango Fett Action Figure

Clone template himself, Jango Fett, I love how vibrant the blue on his helmet is. Great figure with a great pose.

Bounty Hunters Action Figure Collection

I have literally just completed this collection, pictured above is all six bounty hunters that Darth Vader sends out to hunt down the Millennium Falcon in ESB. Now a couple of these I have previously posted, Dengar and Bossk, but the others can be found below.

First off, and this one is probably worthy of it's own post, is the man himself Boba Fett. Awesome action figure and another of my favourites. Boba comes complete with jet pack and the flames coming from the pack serve as a stand for the figure.

Great detail on this figure with all the right markings on the armor and a really nicely sculpted cape.



Next up we have IG-88 on the left here. This is the figure I picked up this morning thus completing my bounty hunter collection. Again really good detail on this figure.

Pictured below is bounty hunting partners Zuckus (left) and 4-LOM (right).

Pre Vizsla Action Figure

Usually i don't post new figures right away but I've been after this one for ages and it's too damn cool not to share right away, this is Pre Vizsla, leader of the Death Watch from TCW season 2 and he's awesome for two main reasons: 1) He's voiced by Jon Favreau, and 2) he has a 'dark' saber.

This figure comes with cape, removable helmet, dark saber (see above) and dual blaster pistols (see right). Also couldn't resist posing him against Obi-Wan ala their duel in TCW.
