Looks great.

We're also getting Dark Troopers and an origin for Wedge Antilles.

Happy Fourth of July.

"And in his conquest against the blackened souls of the multiculturalists, his prowess was shown. In his crusade, the Queen bestowed upon him terrible power and speed, and with his might he crushed the obsidian pillars of globalism. He set forth without pity upon the beasts of the twenty-seven states. Unbreakable, incorruptible, unyielding, the EU Slayer sought to end the dominion of Brussels."

The Dark Lord has arrived...

Some will remember that I already had a 1/6 scale Vader, the Sideshow Collectibles RoTJ Vader figure, and might ask "why get another one?". I purchased the Hot Toys Vader after seeing just how incredible the Hot Toys ANH Vader was in comparison to the SSC Vader. There are several differences between Vader's ANH and ESB/RoTJ costumes, most notably the placement of the robes over the upper chest armor in ANH, the widow's peak dome, and so forth. In general, the ANH Vader has a much more "rough" appearance. Ultimately, I like how Vader looks in ESB more, but Hot Toys' ANH Vader looked so much better than Sideshow's ESB/RoTJ Vader that I had to get the Hot Toys Vader.



He also comes with:


Finally, here are some photos I took:

It isn't a perfect figure; I don't like how they designed the gloves and hands. they tried to preserve hand articulation  by having hands separate from the slip-on "gloves" on the forearm, with velcro on the back of the hands and the inside of the "gloves" to try and imitate the appearance of actual gloves. It doesn't work well. Furthermore, the figure's robes flare out a bit too much, and the cape, while having a wonderful natural drape, is a bit too long. These are minor complaints, however, and I am immensely satisfied with my new Darth Vader.

The previous figure I had was but a pale imitation of Lord Vader, an inferior dopplegänger. The Hot Toys figure, however, is truly Darth Vader, Dark Lord of The Sith, Supreme Commander of The Imperial Fleet, and right hand of the Emperor, in 1/6 scale.

And are you wiling to waste your time doing something pretty unimportant? If so, PM me.

Starring Alexander Skarsgard.

It was alright I guess. The first 4/5ths of the movie were really good, but then it just turned to schlock and I laughed out loud.

Very emotional. I'm part of the first graduating class of my high school.

Salutatorian's speech was a bit groan inducing, as it was too informal and kinda cringe worthy (she's a very smart girl, she's going to Duke and majoring in economics, but she's also a bit airheaded).

It was also rather funny, as basically half my graduating class is Indian. I don't think my family was quite expecting that. Excluding the salutatorian (Asian) and another girl (from Columbia, white Hispanic) the entire top ten is Indian.

Very sad to leave high school though, especially seeing as my favorite teacher is moving back to Chicago the end of this month. She gave me her phone number and personal email though, so we'll maintain correspondence.

Many tears were shed.

Oh, and tomorrow is my 19th birthday.

Can you say the same?

The African American demographic is clearly vehemently anti-Trump. However, I cannot seem to recall Trump having said anything about the demographic, aside from referring to them using terminology that could be considered outdated (I believe he referred to them as "the blacks"). I know that if I search the internet I'll just get a bunch of articles from sites like Salon, so I decided to make my inquiry here instead. My question is as follows: what has Donald Trump said about the African American community? Is it simply fear mongering by the left?

Please provide factual, unbiased answers.

About a month ago, my Hot Toys 1/6 scale First Order Snowtrooper Officer arrived in the mail. I was overjoyed; my Kylo Ren would finally have another First Order character to go with him. Unfortunately, there was a problem.


I was appalled, and sent a report to Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys' U.S. distributor, detailing the issue and requesting a replacement chest plate. The obliged, sending me a replacement part, but with one condition: that I destroy the original, damaged component.

And so. I waited. Eventually, it arrived, for me to find that they had not simply sent me a replacement chest plate; they had sent me an entirely new body, rather than simply another chest plate. Still, this worked. Thus, I set to work on destroying the original parts.

I put on some matte black lipstick, donned my Stahlhelm, placed some headphones in my ears, played Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", picked up a hammer, and set to work. My harsh tones echoed throughout my residence as I sang along, each line ending with I deafening bang as a swung the hammer. This is the result:



I then took the above photo and sent it to Sideshow, who then replied, stating that my work was satisfactory.

this was dumb

Edit: here's the actual trailer:






Just as excited for this as episode VIII. Can't wait to return to the OT era. Cool Stormtrooper too.

Really dumb they didn't just release the teaser, rather than releasing a teaser for the teaser. Trying to hype people up I guess, but I feel that just releasing the trailer in the first place would do that just fine.

That exclusively buys and sells Star Wars collectibles

I think I might visit some time and sell my old 3.75" AT-TE and Clone Troopers, as well as my 6" Black Series figures, which have been gathering dust since I transitioned to collecting high-end 1/6 scale figures like my Kylo Ren. I am curious to see if they'll take my 1/6 scale Sideshow Collectibles Deluxe Darth Vader, which I've been looking to sell so I can get the Hot Toys ANH Vader instead.

Regardless, it's still pretty cool that this place is located in my area.

If he's heard of it before, then he probably owns it.
