The proper size for all action others other than MOTU is 3.75 inches! -Ralph <cough>ST:TNG<cough> |

Also Thundercats, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles...
Although, to be fair, I did always prefer 3.75-inch figures just because it's a good size. You can - or should be able to - get more for your money, fit more in the vehicles, the vehicles themselves should be less expensive and easier to make... Lucas knew what he was doing. That one time.

Thundercats and Turtles were crap toys. Sorry. I liked the cartoons, but the toys were crumpled poo.

They are clearly a step down from TF and MOTU and SW, but still good, especially some of the vehicles.

Thundertank was brilliant! There's no Star Wars vehicle that looks like a big cat and has a spring attack feature!

I had a dream last night that I was on the Hub zoom call and I was bullied when I was pished into buying the Carbon Freezing chamber playset. "It has stairs!" I kept shouting over and over. "It has stairs!"

No kids at school had one as anyone who got the figures thought they were rubbish. The crapness of the figures and the subsequent torturing of them due to this was a hot topic at break times. -Ralph |

To be fair, it doesn't so much *have* stairs as *is* stairs. It's a very odd playset because it's so spindly. I don't think I'd try and persuade anyone to buy that. At least the Tantive set is a nice chunky corridor with a wall.

I had a Thundertank, and it was great. I do regret getting rid of it at a car boot sale. Especially after getting the 2010s Thundertank when Home Bargains had them cheap, and being very disappointed at how little it does.

The Retro Mando wave has arrived. They look SUPERB in-hand. Easily the nicest SW retro figures yet. They just look like good action figures rather than just a 'retro' line. IG-11 is the stand out figure.
I reckon these will fly off the shelves if they're a tenner a pop in Asdaland/Sainsburgeries.

Well they'll certainly look more attractive than the same Cyberverse One-Step Changers that have been sat on the shelves since the Before Times...

The retro Mandolorian figures were in Smyths today. £9.99 so I picked up the lone Cara Dune out of curiosity.

They're only just getting into supermarkets. I suspect a promotion or a mistake. Great price for great action figures though.
BUY THEM, PINWIG.

Ahhhhhh, 'Mando' is short for 'Mandalorian'!
I'd been wondering what a Mando was.
