    How to safely remove vinyl capes?

    Changed the cape today using the easy method described of moving Arms straight out from the figures back, didn't heat up anything and it came off nicely when done gently. Unfortunately my puppy didn't want Ben to have his replacement cape that came through the post today so ate it. I gave...

    How to safely remove vinyl capes?

    Hi! I have recently acquired a vintage tusken raider with the hollow cheek tubes that came with a bunch of other figures, really happy about the find but I want to swop a cape from another figure. What's the best way of removing a vinyl cape? Cheers James

    Tauntaun variations?

    Hi! Recently I acquired three tauntaun. 2 solid belly and one open. I was aware of there being dark and light brown horn variations but one of mine has very dark brown and almost grey horns. I can only assume that time and exposure have been a factor and they have changed colour. It also came...

    New recruits for the collection today from tesco. I believe the box set is an khols exclusive in the USA. It was £22.46. The force awakens figures are going for £5.56 and the rogue one figures are still at £6.75.

    Cheers Grinchy! I have collected vintage star wars figures on and off over the years, collected, sold, collected, sold, now collecting to keep and to get as complete of a vintage collection as I can afford now I can afford to buy all the ones my parents couldn't. I love these new figures for...

    New figure today picked up at tesco. I didn't realise there were already two different versions of jyn erso I like the figures but not a fan of the oversized accessories.

    To be fair those figure prices are the best I have seen for along time. Nowhere seams to discount them or not by much anyway and unless you live near a big store it's difficult finding star wars toys at all and when they do have them they don't have the full range. Not like the good old days...

    Hi! Thought I would post a pic of my swag from yesterday! Quite a nice little haul. Been looking for Reys speeder bike for a bit and found one in toysrus on sale, it's a great toy, seams a lot better made than some of the other vehicles produced lately. Picked the battle damages tie striker at...

    Mystery blaster acquired, do you recognise it?

    Ha nice one, thanks so much for all your help. Is GI Joe the same as action force?

    Mystery blaster acquired, do you recognise it?

    Hi! Recently got back into vintage star wars figure collecting and recently acquired a bunch of original weapons. One of them I don't recognise though and am sure it's not star wars? It looks to be from the same period but have no idea who it belongs too. It's a small green blaster...
