Why do modern action figures have such detailed sculpts compared to classic toys?

Was it a style choice? Did the technology not exist to manufacture super detailed action figures? Did management tell the artists to keep it simple to hold down costs? Just curious.

Medical Droid & Torture Droid

A couple of favorites from when I was a kid. The mask & hose with the clear torso was really cool to me. So was the easter island looking head on 8D8. When these came out as jumbos I knew I had to do a set of them!

Saw Ep IV in ‘77. What to wear for the Mandalorian Premier this Friday???

I saw episode IV in the movie theater as a kid in 1977. I’ve been a rabid fan ever since.

I’ve played eps 4-6, 1-3 for my daughter since she was 2 and we’ve watched any and all new content together ever since.

We have great assigned seats for Friday and can’t wait to see Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Only thing left to do is decide which shirt to wear for the special occasion.

I’m leaning towards the Boba Fett, Pew Pew, or Legacy Effects.

  1. Which shirt would you wear?

  2. If you are a fan from of the O.G. 1977 to 1983, are you going to see Mandalorian?

Signed by Vader, Chewie, Obi Wan, C-3PO, R2-D2, Boba Fett, Hayden Christensen and more…

My multi-signed Star Wars Chantrell poster just went live at Propstore. It's been my hobby collecting autographs at conventions across Scotland for over a decade!

Finally decided to let this one go and thought some people here might appreciate it.

https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/508/lot/198119

It’s an original Tom Chantrell Star Wars poster signed by:
 David Prowse (Darth Vader), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), and Paul Blake (Greedo); in silver marker by Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker), Julian Glover (General Veers), Jimmy Vee (R2-D2), and Denis Lawson (Wedge); and in blue marker by Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca) and Kenny Baker (R2-D2). 

Probably my favourite thing about it is that it spans multiple eras of Star Wars while still using the classic 1977 artwork.

It’s currently live in the Propstore auction and sitting under estimate at the moment.

Happy to answer any questions about it or share extra photos.
