There's no Samus in there(although there is a Samus figure available from Joyride Studios); if you mean the big orange thing, that's the rerelease of the power-loader from Reboot. And yep, that's the simpsons baseball team sitting there. I've also got the simpsons astronaut set on the tv. And the dark looking thing with it's arm extended is a Super BattleDroid. Here's some clearer pics of those items:

Redecoed Destro(you wouldn't believ how many people I've passed this off as a real variant)

yeah, i meant the battle droids...theyre from star wars: phantom menace i think? the SE of the first 3 turned me off on the saga...so it hadnt even crossed my mind.

let me get this straight, im not familiar with the term: Redecoed.
you repainted that head gold from silver? by hand or with an airbrush? ive only seen that bust in a larger size that was waaay out of my price range for a piece of destro memorabilia. ill have to shake down my local comic store guy.

Thanks both of you, I really meant both types of adding a pic

The Destro head was redone with an airbrush. You can pick up a Destro bust for around $30 - $40 if you look around. Check out Palisades' website to see all the product they offer:

Wow, Bingham... you work for WETA or Lucasfilm? (Always thought it would be cool to see Skywalker Ranch...)

Nice LOTR stuff by the way...

Argonath bookends, "Weapons of The Fellowship" set

where is the axe, the dwarf used,

They're putting out multiple sets, so I guess in this particular one they only wanted the really "famous" weapons. I know they're also doing a Moria Goblin Weapons set, and an Orc Weapons set. I think they might be doing Elvish and Dwarvish sets as well.

whoa, thats pretty high class...im surprised you dont have the fiberglass han in carbonite replica

thanks for making me look at palisades website again, last time i was there i was blinded by the muppets and didnt think they'd make 2nd string characters for those g.i.joe busts...but i saw the baroness. money spent.

by the way who made that (12"?) speederbike?

and it appears you have some sort of display case...did you make it yourself..or did you buy it? ive been looking to get one, but buying one can be real expensive.

by **Cpl. Bingham** » Tue May 13, 2003 2:45 pm

The speederbike was made by the regular Star Wars toy company(the name escapes me). It was an exclusive to KB Toys or Toy R Us or something so it was hard to find(and expensive!)

The display case I have was from Ikea. I think it was $180 total for the whole thing plus the glass doors. It's about 7 1/2 feet tall, and the shelves are all modular. I set mine up with the top 2/3 covered by glass doors, in which I keep the more epensive busts and statues. The bottom 1/3 is just a place for books.

Which Baroness are you going to get, the standard version or the Crimson Guard version?

by **S.S. N** » Tue May 13, 2003 4:46 pm

ugh...limited editions. i dont think ill have much trouble gettin one though. i didnt like alot of the american large figure stuff, it all seemed to have poor proportions, little detail and an overall cheap feel. but that bike looks nice.

ikea huh? no shit. thats certainly in my price range for that sort of thing. so long as i dont move it once its built i should be fine.

as for the baroness...im staying standard for certain.
i dont think ill get the variant.
ill be kicking myself if they make crimson guard busts.
you have a link for this crimson guard baroness?
they better make a b.a.t.s. in later series.

Crimson Strike Baroness

No busts, but they will have mini-statues of the Crimson Guard. Here's an early test-shot:
