DJ Mauls Ultimate Star Wars Toy Room Tour Part 58
Ah, what would Star Wars collecting be without Action Figures?

I have never been a COMPLETEST on action figures; there are simply far too many released every year to possibly afford or keep up with, but I do enjoy them and am always on the lookout for any new ones that strike my fancy.

I open all my action figures normally, with some rare exceptions, for instance:

I have several Darth Vader figs of course, most opened, but this one from the 30th Anniversary Line features not just the Gold Coin but also a gold foil logo on the card, so I will keep that mint and unopened.

Other normal carded figs like these Ewoks or this R2-B1 Droid I have since opened and tossed the packaging.

The Comic Book Two Packs have been fun to collect as for a decent price you get not just TWO figs but also a cool comic book reprint!

Again I don't get ALL of them but have recently grabbed these:

Boba Fett & Droid set

Commander Keller & Galactic Marine set

And the Carnor Jax & Kir Kanos set from Crimson Empire...which were once an online exclusive but now have made their way to the pegs it seems! I never read the comic BUT thought both figures were so well detailed that they would make a great addition to my Grand Army.
Yes, I have since opened all three sets. :D

The Evolutions sets have also been pretty cool, and I have grabbed a couple of them so far.

The Sith Legacy Set was a MUST not only because of the awesome Darth Nihlus & Darth Bane figs (which have taken their place beside a few other EU Sith Lords ) but this beautifully painted Darth Maul which now resides among several others on the Maul Tribute Shelf.

Another Evolutions set I grabbed was this one: Darth Vaders Secret Apprentice from the forthcoming Force Unleashed video game!

All three figures are the same character, the middle one the Apprentice and then him as either a Jedi or a Sith Lord, depending I suppose on the path one takes while playing the game. I guess we will find out eventually!

Other Force Unleashed figs are hitting the pegs as well and so far I've grabbed these four, which include two new clones and an Imperial Shadow Guard and the coolest of them all, the Battle Damaged Darth Vader!

I cant wait for this game to see how this comes to be!

You all know by know Im a BIG clone figure collector, and I'm always happy to see more hitting the pegs.

These Covert Ops Trooper, Utapau Shadow Trooper and Shadow Stormtrooper figs are actually re-releases of former online exclusives and while yes I already owned the earlier versions decided to grab these as well to increase the army!

I'm also debating on ordering a second set of these Jedi-Con Shadow Troopers from Star Wars Shop so that I can have one in the cool display box and another to open...if I get a second set I'll let you know LOL.

I managed to find the entire second wave of Target Exclusive Order 66 Packs which are among the few figures I leave in the packages because they display rather nicely that way.

I did however buy a second one of the 3rd set mainly so I could add the BARC Trooper to the Grand Army shelf and added the Tsui Choi figure to the rest of my slowly growing Jedi display.

I found and added these next two figs, some Cantina aliens, not just for the figures but because they each came with a neat table setting that could be connected to form a cool bar display.

I was VERY excited to find this last item for the tour, the Toys R Us Exclusive Hoth Patrol Battle Packs Set!

I have a vintage Taun Taun and several Luke figures but this is the FIRST Wampa in my collection! Yeay! :D

Well that's gonna wrap things up for this chapter but stay tuned, I still have plenty to cover next time! And I'm working on some new videos for the near future too, I promise!
