Beginner's Guide on star wars 3.75 figures Collecting (1)

It has been a long time since my last entry in this blog. To be honest i don't even know why or what to publish XD. But today i finally have some thing to post.

Beginner's Guide on collecting the Star Wars 3.75 Figures


Thinking where to start on such enormous lines and series might not be easy. Star wars toy line has begun since 1977 during the debut of Star Wars : A New Hope. The toy line first began with the basic vintage carded figures.



Afterwards the toy line continued with many series, such as :
  1. The Power of the force
  2. Power of the Jedi
  3. Star wars Phantom Menace Line
  4. Star wars Attack of the Clones ( also known as saga legends)
  5. Star wars Revenge of the sith line
  6. Star wars Sequel trilogies
  7. Star wars the black series
  8. Star Wars saga collection
  9. Star wars 30th Anniversary line
  10. Star Wars Comic pack
  11. Etc...

That list is not even completed yet ! So to start your collection at this time is impossible.
Just kidding, of course you still can start so let us begin !!

1. Knowing your range

First of all you still have to decide where to start. During my early days of collecting i started from nowhere, literally. All i did is simple, i see a star wars figure then i just buy it. But i wouldn't recomend that tho, because later on you will have a problem on arranging them on the shelve. I would recomend to start from the original trilogy, since it is rich with many characters. Or you can start from the prequel which contained many lines, comics, and movies. But overall the choice is yours : /


But some characters do require more specific collecting style. Such as clone troopers and sormtroopers. Due to the part they play in the movie as a soldier, it means there will be more types into it.So you have 2 choices either you just want ANY clone trooper or you want to get every types and variants. That collecting method is called army building.But i only recomend doing that on 1 specific character not all figures at once.


2.  Places to hunt !

As i stated before the toy line had begun since the 1977 so considering the age it is possible to find the old lines at any 2nd hand stores. You should consider places like flea market, thrift stores, and garage sales as a potential hunting spot. I knew it because i have got many good figures from there and not only that the price they offer is also negotiable. Last year i went with my friends to a local flea market and manage to pick myself a carded  SWPOTF yak face for 6$, good deal right ?

As for the newer lines you still can get them on markets like Walmart, Walgreens, Kidz station, etc. Above those 2 there is also a better spot which is online shops such as ebay, aliexpress, amazon, etc.





I guessed that's all for part 1.... Thanks for reading and wait for the part 2 : )
Y'all take care and have a good day !!!

Re-coloring the grey spaces: A "Lilac and Her Light" Game Review

Howdy folks! How is it all going? Hopefully good. So I recently managed to set aside some time to complete a game (as if I never have time for it XD), and write a review of it. This time, its going to be a brief review of a game I finished in less than an hour. This is a review of Lilac and Her Light! Lilac and Her Light is a game developed by Npckc and was released back in October 2018. Its a story based pixelated game(one of my favorite types!) or you can say that its an RPG/Role playing games. You can download it through the Play Store or the developer's website (I'll drop the link below later). The game is pretty small, only around 16 Mb, meaning its practically accessible with phones nowadays.  The Story At the start, we will find ourselves playing as a girl, named Lilac, who lives in an extraordinary grey house, in which every house hold items and Lilac herself are also grey. We soon learn that she has an odd condition where everything that made contact with her would los...

New Hobby : The Art of Toy Photography

Most people still think that the only thing toy collectors do to their toys is simply as an ornament. A piece that only acts merely for display purposes, but the current stigma is actually wrong! Truth is there are tons of stuff you can do with your toys, the one I'm putting on the menu now is an art called Toy Photography. Toy photography is just another form of photography, but it specifies in using toys as the subject. It can be done both indoor and outdoor, even underwater as long as you have the right equipment. It also uses the same equipment as the usual photography with an exception of the toy's support utilities (Figure stands, dioramas, extra lighting, etc). To me, it's a perfect activity for toy collectors including me as a way to put your toys in action! From many professional toy photographers I know, there are 3 main points of toy photography, they are: 1. Bringing the toys to life Most of the toy shots I've seen are so good they manage to chan...

Giving company on a long lonely trip! A Terasene-Girl X Sun Game Review

Girl X Sun-Terasene is another developed by the Sleeping Museum, the maker of the Death Palette game. The game is developed with Unity engine and is available to play in mobile through google play store. The games was released back in May 2018, but it has earned more attention recently following another update that translated the game in English, somewhat the same case with Death Palette. The game has been downloaded for over 50.000 times and it weighs around 30 MB, so its indeed a light game for your device. The game can be considered as one of the story based adventure/single player platformer (?) game, although its not that kind of hard/more common action.  The Story It started off with a girl who is taking a walk at night away from a huge castle. What makes it unique is that the girl is carrying an umbrella. We are then told of her condition, that she can't make contact with sunlight as it may harm her, hence the umbrella. But why is she taking an umbrella at night? It's be...
