    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Looks very good. What size/style LED did you use for the replacement?

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    The blemishes you are seeing on the bumpers are where the paint has been rubbed off by the packaging, showing the black, burnished plastic beneath the metallic paint. Unfortunately, you can't take it off...only solution is repainting the whole bumper or attempting touch ups with a custom...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Not necessarily. Mine came with some pretty serious scuffs on the front and rear bumpers as well as botched paint on the rear bumper. The worst I have seen out of any posted "issues". Rather than attempt to return the whole vehicle, I wanted to know if the front and rear bumpers could...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    Has anyone successfully and safely removed the rear metallic bumper piece? Any ideas on how it is actually attached? The front bumper can be safely removed by taking out the six screws that hold it in place (four visible under the bumper, two on the rocker panel area behind the front wheels)...

    Blitzway 1:6 Ghostbusters - ECTO-1

    It is easy to offset rotation. Lift the center silver motor mount and offset rotation via the exposed gear for each side. When you reinstall the center motor piece with the drive gear, it rotates offset. From Blitzway, the reflectors are spinning aligned and in unison.

    Hot Toys Snowtrooper

    I notice nobody wants to crinkle the face shields on these. The material looks like it would be thin enough to crease.

    Hot Toys: The Dark Knight: 1/4 The Joker

    Just got an email stating mid-September now, with Bats early September.

    1/6 Hot Toys Star Wars Return of the Jedi Stormtrooper Sixth Scale

    I'm still laughing at the "sad ghost" description of the V1 SS snowtrooper commander. Perfect description next to that horrendous comparison photo.

    Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures

    As long as you can afford it, you have bought the best available. If your kids are going hungry, then no.

    Blitzway - 1/6 Scale Ghostbusters - Collectible Figures

    These repainted Venkman heads all look so much slimmer than stock. Nice work! Eyebrows make a big difference.

    Sideshow 1/6 Imperial Probe Droid

    Probably Sideshow's best figure to date. I just wish the reissue had the snow base.

    1/6 Will you keep collecting Star Wars figures post-Skywalker era?

    Wouldn't be surprised if they did. With the comically inept First Order, they'll probably have to kill themselves, though.

    Darth Vader MEDITATION CHAMBER DIORAMA 1/6 scale first images!

    The background you hear in the ESB scene mentioned sounds a lot like an edited clip of an idling EMD 645 turbo (diesel engine). Here's a clip for an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbljILWv9m0

    Hot Toys Royal Guard

    Not a silly question. HT actually did a proper promo featuring the elevator. That said, these guys had such little screen time, pretty much anything outside of an elevator scene display (?) or a baller display with 6 of them, a host of Imperials, and the nose of a shuttle, will have to be a...

    Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

    Hoth is a much better execution. If your collection is all ANH, the ANH version is no slouch, but if you just want a representative Leia, the Hoth version is the best one yet. Then again, that is strictly one person's opinion.

    Those who disliked TLJ, are you still buying toys from it?

    When he did that in ROTS, it was bad, but could be ignored like the rest of the PT. When Lucas redid ROTJ with the same "Nooooooo", yeah, it was pretty bad. The only reason it doesn't continue to bother me is because of Harmy's despecialized blu-rays, but it is annoying to know that any modern...
