she who dies with the most toys WINS!

Oh good, looks like I won't be running out of thigns to buy anytime soon!

Hasbro showed off a new series of Galactic Heroes at Comic Con this weekend! (there's a link on the side there to pictures!) FINALLY a new Princess Leia! Bespin Leia, to be exact. She's just so darn cute! And a little Lando...and a snowtrooper and oh my gosh I just noticed that the changed the sculpt on the Chewbacca figure...crud...I might have to get that just to have the open-handed Chewie....Luckily, I already own all of the figures in the "Cinema Scenes" sets, so I can skip those *phew*.

The new mini-unleashed look pretty sweet too, a teeny tiny Kit Fisto and Mace for my desk to hang out with Aayla and Yoda. And our weak spot - troopers. I really cannot have enough troopers. Green ones, purple ones, clones, commandos, stormies, I want them all. Yes, this November, I will be running into Target every week to check on shipments.

[livejournal.com profile] jimithingy also alerted me to the fact that there is a superman/clark figure that I think I want. Seriously, it's this icon come to life!

yes yes, I must add all of these items to my shopping list...

Hey, you've seen this brilliantly crafted LJ icon, right?

TOYS!

I love that Superman figure.. the big hair and glasses make me giggle. Have you seen the vibrating Superman figure? I don't know what it's supposed to do, but all I know is that you pull a string on his side and he vibrates. O.O

I've recently become fond of the Orange and White troopers because those are my school colors. ^_^ And I love the blue clones, of course..

But I want more GH Padmes! A Red Throne Room Dress GH Amidala would be TOO cute. That Padme Saga Collection figure is just hideous. It looks like they put a tiny Padme head on a man action figure's body. I like how Mace Windu's "posse" of Clonetroopers are purple like his lightsaber. When does Quinlan come out???

yeah, I believe the GH Leia is a step in the right direction. Since this line continues to grow, I'm hoping that means they will eventually work their way into the Padme figures. They really should.

Vibrating superman? Let's not go there, [livejournal.com profile] jimithingy already mocks me for the insane amount of Brandon Routh/Superman Returns pics I have saved to my harddrive. :P

I'm shocked they haven't made a Quinlan, wasn't he on the list of fan choice figures? I'm sure he's in the works. He has to be! It's the dreds, they have to figure out how to make little action figure dreds!

Quinlan WAS the fan choice, but they had already decided to make a Quinlan, so they're picking someone else for the fan choice figure. I'm going to have an army of Quinlans.. *purr* hehe.

I need to get crackin on those Jedi Spuds... I really want to make Quinlan Gus out of the potato instead of an Obi-Wan Potato. I think that asparagus dreds would be AWESOME. SO cute.

And I believe the vibrating Superman is the "Flight Force Superman." He's got a pull-cord next to his belt, and when you pull it, he vibrates.. and if you pull it over and over, the vibrations intensify. haha.
