MOTU Origins Thundercats Skell- Ra ( Mumm-Ra) Pt.2

Image
There are some action figure purchases that leave you scratching your head. You get it out of the packaging, pose and play with only to realize that it isn't as cool as you thought it was when it initially caught your eye on the pegs or saw it online. Such was not the case with MOTU Origins Skell-Ra!  In part 1 of my Skell-Ra post, I incorrectly referred to this set as being a multipack and it isn't. This falls more under the "deluxe " category. That said, Mattel's Origins line of figures are heavily customizable and because of that they can essentially sell you one action figure, throw in an extra head with accessories and "VOILA!"

May the 4th be with everyone!   🌌 🚀 ✨ 👽  So, you know you've bought too many action figures when ones you thought you didn't have begin to appear. Such was the case with this Star Wars Vintage Collection Lando Calrissian figure. I vaguely remember buying this years ago but not vividly enough to convince myself that I actually did. Well, guess what I found while rummaging through a few boxes of miscellaneous toys a few days ago.  A while back I sold off all of my 3.75 Star Wars VC figures and instantly regretted it. I've been wanting to recollect them but the process has been a slow one. This Lando and a more recently released Vintage Collection Darth Vader is as far as I've gotten in my attempts to replenish my 3.75 modern Star Wars action figure collection. I'm looking forward to adding more in the near future.  ...
