Part 3 of My Collection Blogs
Hey all my fellow fans and collectors. It is now time for the long awaited return to hallowed halls of my collection. I am actually going to try to do two of these back to back since I have been sitting on several photos ready for this for some time now. My collection, though not all in perfect condition these days, and definitely not as well displayed as our fellow blogger DJ Maul or Slow. It is quite extensive. I am working on my display room (which triples as a computer room and art studio.) to hopefully make a bit of room and some what more eye friendly. I won't show how it is right now because at the moment I'm probably lucky Amy hasn't decided to give a donation to Goodwill or worse the county landfill. I have featured it however in past blogs. though it has grown since.

First I would like to show some updates to a past installment of Vader Collectables. I recently purchased these from Target's bargain bin and yesterday I was able to find a Battle Damaged Force Unleashed Vader. My wife saw and bought this for me last week. She said it was a cake topper she found in a discount bin at a local Safeway. It is way cool and a great find. You speak into the back of it and it changes your voice with a kazoo like effect. I don't know what the purpose of the key ring is. At a very bulky 3 to 4 inches high and a wide girth the functionality of it makes no sense. Bagged with it was also this spinner thing that has a portrait of Anakin on the back side of the mask. .......Anyway onto the collection.

As has been done in the last two here & here, I am highlighting a theme so you can see better what is there. This particular installment will feature Jango, Boba Fett, Clones, Stormtroopers, etc.

Let's start with Jango & Boba Fett.
My 12" Jango and 3 3/4" detachable head Jango. I've heard people complain about how sick that one is but it has always been one of my favorites. What does that say about me?:^O
Fett figures, Pez & Ornament.
The ultra cool concept line Boba Fett.
Vintage mail in order Boba Fett and Vintage Slave 1. I repainted the figures chest back in the early 80's due to wear from frequent frequent play.
Slave 1 with it's side open. I painted carbonited Han silver for more accuracy. The sliding ramp is now lost.
A recent purchase of the die cast Slave 1 Miniature.
The recently releasedMando Evolutions 3 Pack

Next lets move to the Clones.

The close up of Biker clone & the best and most creepy Palpatine head yet.

Next we move into the Classic Era Stormtroopers.
