Yesterday’s toy haul. It appeared as if I got hold of the last Boba Fett but there may be more available today. Since I bought the Kenner tripod gun a while ago I felt like I’d need the modern version of it, too, hence the Snowtrooper with E-Web Blaster. And yeah I no longer collect 6“ but... 😬 #starwars #actionfigures #fanexpo2019 #sdcc2019exclusive #sithtrooper #bobafett #ewebblaster https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gSIBRgdtb/?igshid=j2onqflun89i

Unpacking time. Stuck with plenty of time in isolation because of “you know what”, I started opening those boxes filled with unopened figures that piled up over the years. Some of them might lie around there unopened for almost a decade now, so how can I even still say I am not a MOC/MIB collector? Well here is how: I unpack them when given the time :-p This one I bought not too long ago on the FanExpo in Toronto, probably in 2019. It was always on my list of wanted figures simply because I wanted an upgrade for the tripod blaster (with the Kenner tripod being the one I felt I needed an upgrade for). To my knowledge this is the most recent upgrade of the E-Web blaster to this day (excluding the one coming with the yet to be released Nevarro Stormtrooper). The OTC line is kind of a predecessor for the TVC line, where they tried for the first time to go Kenner retro again with the packaging. Not entirely successful if you ask me. Also the figures in this line for the most part were badly articulated and often rather hideous. This one is no exception. But one of the challenges I was keen to accept in the beginning of my toy photography “career”, was to make ugly figures look good. This one is maybe a bit easier to do as the figure for the most part hides behind the tripod blaster. It’s also noteworthy that this line produced quite a few OT figures which haven’t been upgraded since then or only until very recently (Lobot, Bib Fortuna). The blaster tripod to my disappointment is quite wobbly and it feels as if it could break easily. The figure has very basic articulation and is designed to operate the heavy blaster but otherwise looks rather dumb. The power supply thing which the original Kenner blaster featured, is sadly not featured. Given that this figure was released in 2004 it may be a little late to complain :-) #starwars #actionfigures #originaltrilogy #snowtrooper #ewebblaster #echobase #hoth #originaltrilogy #theempirestrikesback https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZgxzVMvNY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
