I'm Gonna Git You Zuckuss!
Sunday, July 28, 2013
A trade with LeAnn of Retro Toy Safari brought a Zuckuss into the Star Wars Power of the Force 2 bounty hunter collection — one figure closer to a complete set.
The figure looks like a later-wave release, with a bit more detailing than some of the earlier entries. The head sculpt stands out, though it reads a touch large against the body. Even the underside of his uniform carries more detail than expected.
Reminiscing about Roses.

Friday, July 19, 2013
