I could see a band of Ewok hunters grouped under this tree.

Dan, would you have a group shot of your packaged dinosaur collection to show? I think you are both an opener and a carded collector but I can’t remember.

I am an opener so no packaged pics to share, sorry.

My dinos are scattered across 3 parts of my Hobby Room due to how massive my herds are. I will try to get some pice next Sunday when I am off again.

I scored this used arcade 1up Astroids deluxe cabinet this week on eBay.
  This would have been a late first gen cabinet that was exclusive to Costco stores.
  Sound, gameplay, and controls are spot on.
This one is easily my favorite so far.

Expectation vs. Reality


Found this GoT figure on Amazon DE for 8,90€ (free shipping). Here's the link for all European readers:
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01CBME0VY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I actually wanted to make a custom of Jedi Master Kao Cen Darach from The Old Republic videogame:




Now THIS is what is shown on the product page on Amazon:



What a nice glamshot of the prototype/computer generated mock-up…

THIS is what you actually get:






Oh, and talking About bubble-gate. This is what FUNKO came up with: staples!





The bubble is actually not glued at all - it's stapled on the card...

Conclusio: This is the first GoT figure I've ever seen and man am I glad that Hasbro IS NOT the only cmpany having serious issues with quality. The difference between shown and actual product is horrific!

This is actually meant to be 3.75" scale...well, I don't know what to do with this egg head because the head is WAY too big! Any suggestions?





Your feedback is alwayd welcome!

- Philipp

Yikes that is a big difference. You know what I would do? I'd paint the head blue, and make him like that alien bounty on mandolorian episode 1/ blue guy on droids cartoon. Something on par with that, not an exact replica.
