Thoughts on the EP1 line

<< < (3/3)

Darth More:
Thought I add my thoughts and some pics to this topic...

I was actually introduced to the galaxy far, far away back in 1999. Was 6 yo back then...




When I got those two folded Destroyer Droids, it took me some research to find out that they were included with a R2-D2 Carry Case back in 1999:

Also made a diorama display of the Battle of Naboo recently: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=10225.msg220596#msg220596

Tamer:
That is one nice droid army you have going. And yes, I can remember the figures being so much better in terms of movement and sculpting in regards to the POTF Line.

JDeck:
  The TPM line was pretty good, even by today's standards. The stepped away from the He-man muscular sculpts of POTF2 for more realism.   The battle Droid was pretty much the first super articulated figure.  The C-3PO has an awesome sculpt, if they added articulation to it, I'd buy up a bunch. At the time I was 13, so I was at that" Too old for Star Wars" age. I bought a few before the movie came out, but that was it. Now, I find myself buying some of those TPM figures, like recently I got Watto's box, just for the Graxol Kelvvyn. He's one of, if not the tallest 3.75 non creature figure ever produced. He has a good sculpt, soft goods, decent paint, and enough articulation to sit. TPM definitely has it's gems.

Tamer:
I think TPM Line really got folks into collecting modern day. I was recently married and in transition with where we wanted to live permanently so I remember saying I can't really get into this now, but boy did I sure loose some time in the toy aisles. It was so cool seeing star wars stuff like I did as a kid for the OTC.

It was  just so good to have new SW again!
