For Alien fans out there, I'm selling an original 1992 Ripley action figure, still unopened and in its original packaging.

The figure comes with "Real-Turbo Torch" action to toast those pesky Aliens out there and comes complete with decals (I don't know if they'll stick or not). This is a real classic item and is essential for those collectors into Aliens/Predator figures or classic female movie action heroes.

1997 Star Wars Imperial Snow Stormtrooper


I am offering a 1997 STAR WARS "Power of the Force" Imperial Snowtrooper action figure for sale. The out-of-the-box 3 ¾ inch figure is in extremely excellent condition and is very detailed with great weathering effects. The Snowtrooper has movable arms and legs, twisting waist and comes complete with its blaster pistol and removable back-pack.

Snowtroopers, also known as Cold Assault Stormtroopers, were Imperial Stormtroopers trained to operate in arctic climates. The snowtroopers were the successors of the Clone Cold Assault Troopers under Clone Commander Keller during the Clone Wars.

Snowtroopers were utilized on many different icy worlds in the Star Wars Universe, including the Imperial Garrison on the Planet Akuria II. Their most notable campaign was at the Battle of Hoth, where the Imperial Blizzard Force defeated the Rebel Alliance and overran Echo Base.

Assault on Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth

Snowtroopers were armed with the standard issued E-11 blaster rifles of stormtroopers, SE-14R light repeating blasters, two concussion grenades, and one frag grenade. Elite snowtroopers were given the DLT-20A blaster rifle as a replacement for the E-11, and two stun grenades. Snowtroopers commonly employed E-web heavy repeating blasters.


Snowtrooper armor was well suited to the climate extremes of frozen worlds such as Hoth, Rhen Var, and Toola. Like other stormtroopers, snowtroopers wore a standard black two-piece temperature control body glove. Over this was an eighteen-piece outer shell altered to include more powerful heating and personal environment units, and an airtight fabric oversuit for additional protection from the cold. Their helmets had built-in polarized snow goggles. The chest plate worn by the snowtroopers was constructed of a plastoid composite armor.

To facilitate breathing in extremely cold or dangerous atmospheres, a breather hood enveloped the snowtrooper's faceplate and fed into the suit liner. Each trooper was equipped with terrain-grip boots, a standard utility belt containing high-tension wire, grappling hooks, ion flares, additional blaster ammunition, a survival kit, and ration packs.

Kaiyodo Revoltech Transformers' Starscream Action Figure

Today, I’ll review the latest arrival in my collection, it’s the Decepticon’s Starscream (of the Classic Transformers Generation 1 series) by Kaiyodo Revoltech. I just got this yesterday and only have the time to have a really good look at it today. Just like the other Kaiyodo Revoltech series figurines, this action figure is about 5 inches tall and retails for about USD$20-25.


Famous for his treachery and personality, he has become a fan favorite and has had many future characters within the Transformers franchise to bear his name, some of which share his desire to become leader of the Decepticons. Starscream has, at some points, had control over the Decepticons, but his actions usually lead him to being defeated, or overruled by the more powerful Megatron. Starscream makes no secret of his ambition to overthrow Megatron as Decepticon leader. He is more intelligent than the average Decepticon brute, ruthless, and cruel, but he is also unlikely to directly act on his ultimate ambition without the assurance of things going his way. He considers himself vastly superior to other Decepticons, hence has a really big ego and looks down on Megatron for being obsolete in his military strategy and tactics.



Starscream can turn into an F-15 Eagle jet and serves as the Decepticon's Air Commander, leading the other Decepticon jets, many of whom share his physical design. According to cartoon series, he can reach speeds up to Mach 2.8, and can climb up to sub-orbital altitudes of 52 miles (84 km) and nose-dive down to ground level in minutes. His arm is mounted with launchers (mounted under his wings in jet mode), which can launch two types of weaponry — cluster bombs, each of which can level an area 10,000 square feet (900 m2), and his signature weapon, the null ray, which can disrupt the flow of electricity in any circuitry it hits for brief periods, effectively rendering any electronic device or machine (including Autobots) temporarily inoperable.

The figure is still in its box; same as usual, great packaging with dusty finishes. The toy was put on a black plastic tray and covered by a clear plastic cover.There is a leaflet about Revoltech series, in Japanese, inside the box.

In terms of design and sculpting; this is a non-transformable action figure although it’s from Transformers. Kaiyodo’s Revoltech is always the Revolver Joint, a technology developed by them (Kaiyodo) that make the action figure abilities to pose in great ways. By scraping the transforming gimmick, the figure can be design to be more cartoon (anime) accurate. The selling points for the figure are:

  • Accessories: 3 extra changeable fist, a Megatron in pistol mode and a stand.
  • Colorings: great colors, looks metallic and shiny. No chipping or scratching.

G.I. JOE Snake Eyes Action Figure | A Real American Hero

Snake Eyes is one of the most popular G.I. Joe figure from the line begun in 1982. At first a commando operative with a ninja background, he starred with the other Joes, in several comic books and the syndicated cartoon series that aired on television in the 1980s. Snake Eyes is probably one of the most popular action figure from the current line. There has probably been more version than any other figure.



In 1989 the current G.I. Joe design team took a bold step with the character of Snake Eyes and moved the character’s design away from “commando” and firmly into the “ninja” category. The character was given his third redesign since the launch of the “G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero” line seven years earlier sporting a more steam-lined martial arts look. The figure was equipped with a variety of deadly “silent weapons” including a blow gun, sword, and three-sectioned “nunchuck” weapon, in addition to a flash-suppressed UZI. Martial arts were popular once more with the explosion of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles onto toy store shelves and the G.I. Joe team’s original “man in black” was now the team’s premiere ninja. Nearly twenty years later, the design team at Hasbro has elected to revisit this design in the 25 th Anniversary line, giving fans everywhere a reason to once again revisit the store shelves.

Hasbro has done a terrific job of replicating the original character design with an updated flair. The key elements of the original uniform are present—the padded black vest, the silver forearm wraps, the silver “shades”, and the high black boots with the knee pads. Even the sculpted grenades found on the “bicep bands” are present, giving Snakes a few more surprises to drop on anyone in his path. However, in terms of sculpting Hasbro decided to take a few details a step further. There are now sculpted carabineer rings on the figure’s belt, as well as a sculpted sling under the figure’s right arm—a perfect place to hang the figure’s included UZI submachine gun. The original figure had a large earpiece sculpted over the right ear; this detail is now the mount point for the included night vision goggles.


This action figure I'm selling is
still unopened, mint condition in its original packaging. It is a definite item to be in every Joe Fan's collection.

1983 Star Wars Imperial Royal Guard action figure


I am selling an original 1983 Star Wars (Return of the Jedi) Imperial Royal Guard action figure in excellent condition. The Royal Guards were the personal protectors of Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars. First formed as the Red Guard for the Republic Senate after Palpatine claimed rumors of corruption in the Senate. They later became the Emperor’s personal guard.

They were handpicked from among the best stormtroopers, and underwent rigorous and grueling training. To keep in fighting form, some were always rotated out on combat missions, so some survived the destruction of the second Death Star. These remaining Guards were chronicled in the graphic novel series Crimson Empire, where they fought for supremacy. They also came back together to protect the clone Emperor in Dark Empire, but one of their own had sabotaged the Emperor’s clones so he would not live long.


The Royal Guard looked to one of the real bad asses of the Imperial troops. The red helmet with the “I won’t take any s---t from you” stare. The robed standing-at-attention stance. Too bad during the movie, they didn't do much except for looking cool .

The figure was released after Return of the Jedi .The red cloth robe was attached at the base of the helmet, with a slit for one arm to come out. Neither the robe nor the cape could be removed – except by wrecking the figure.

Why should you own this figure? Five reasons:

1. Despite their movie inaction, it still looks bad ass.
2. Great red figure for ex-Soviet lovers.
3. Goes great with an Imperial Shuttle.
4. Create a scene where the Guards actually do something, like Grevious’ robot guards in Revenge of the Sith.
5. Way cooler than an Ewok action figure.

2004 Classic MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM RX-78-2 action figure


I am selling a rare Mobile Suit Gundam collectible action-figure, never opened from the box. The figure is approximately 6 inches and carries a bazooka. It is an original product from Bandai and produced in 2004 in limited quantites. It is an excellent item to be in any anime fan's collection.


This action figure is a replica of RX-78-2 Gundam, which is the succesor of the RX-78 Gundam mecha design, first introduced in 1979 by Yoshiyuki Tomino. In Mobile Suit Gundam series, it is a testbed weapon for the Earth Federation, when it falls into the hands of Amuro Ray, the son of a weapons designer, who goes on to pilot it in the Earth Federation's war against the Principality of Zeon.

As the success of Mobile Suit Gundam began the Gundam franchise, this design was the first of many variations in subsequent works. RX-78 Gundam also serves as the iconic symbol of the Gundam franchise and sparked the creation of multiple sequels and spinoffs.

Offer Price: B$35 ***SOLD*** Thanks to the buyer!
