Star Wars Black Series 3 3/4 - Admiral Ackbar


I'll admit to not knowing much  about Ackbar.I remember seeing him on a ship ,co piloting,maybe?I always thought he was the coolest looking alien In the film,though.As a kid I always wanted his action figure but had to settle for an Admiral Ackbar 3 3/4 rubber eraser (which was pretty damn cool in it's own right). Now ,I finally have my very own ,highly articulated Admiral Ackbar figure!

This Black Series 3 3/4 Admiral Ackbar figure has jettisoned to the top of my favorites list!It's a damn near flawless figure.From the paint apps to the head sculpt and execution of his smock ,just an excellent figure.




I'm not so sure how to work his contraption,though.I'm pretty sure I have him holding It upside down.


"How do you work this thing?"  "Oh yeah,and..what Is It?"





I don't remember ever seeing the Admiral In action.Like I said before ,my memory of him Is solely behind the ships terminal.Never wielding a weapon of any kind. 


My 3 3/4 Star Wars collection is slowly coming along.Captain Phasma and the First Order  Storm trooper were not part of the plan as I am only going after figures that appeared in the older films.But they were on sale and pretty cool looking so I said what the heck.Really need to add a Princess Leia  figure soon.Most are too damn expensive and those Power of the Force ones look hideous.

    Well that is great. I love collecting toys. Not a fan of Jedi though too much.

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

My last "Merry Christmas To Me" post was going to be of Marvel Legends Spider-Man animated cartoon series figure that I thought I was getting a great deal on. It turns out the figure was a bootleg. $30 down the drain and a fake Spider Man figure in the trash. I didn't even bother trying to get a refund from the seller. I'll chalk it up to a loss and keep it moving. So today I figured I'd  treat myself to something dope in the toy aisles at my local Walmart and found this!  I'm not sure if this is a reissue or what but It was the last one on the pegs and so I grabbed it. Now I can't get that damned theme song out of my head.
