Lion-O (Savage World)


Lord of the Thundercats, Lion-O, is here in 80's-tastic glory and in a whole new scale. He is armed as always with the Sword of Omens and his claw shield. The Savage World continues to be fun and I'll get into the second wave in a little bit. I try to do a bit of a rotation through my various fandoms but there's no hard and fast schedule. And as a peek behind the curtain I'll often prepare several posts at once but after nearly ruining the fun of this blog with a few too many theme weeks I'm sticking to a strict one post per week rate. It allows me more freedom and less deadline stress. Because toys are supposed to be fun right?

That was bit longer winded than I tend to be especially about stuff that's not the figure on display. That's probably because I've talked about three other Savage World figures already and I did talk a bit more about Lion-O in my post about his Thundercats Classics figure.

Lando Calrissian from Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars Black Series)

"How ya doin' you old pirate?!"

Lando Calrissian is an old friend of Han Solo's who harbours the Millennium Falcon on his Cloud City on the planet Bespin after Leia, Han, Chewbacca, and the droids escape from the Empire after the battle of Hoth.


This figure pulled straight from "The Empire Strikes Back" and captures the charm of the character pretty well. The face sculpt really looks like Billy Dee Williams.  I don't have as strong a completionist mania for Star Wars figures like I do for some of the other lines I collect but I definitely wanted a Lando. (Maybe even two! Stay tuned for that...)

Klingon Vor'cha Attack Cruiser (Eaglemoss Collectibles)


The Next Generation introduced this new ship class for the Kingon Empire as the flagship for Chancellor K'mpec. It's a very neat evolution from the original series battle cruisers and looks cool. 


These little models are very detailed but don't have any articulation or anything to discuss. They also are difficult for a novice like me to photograph particularly well. But I loves me some Star Trek and TNG is where it all started for me so here we go.
