My latest 1/6th figure - Qui-Gon Jinn

Hi guys!  I've been a bit quiet on here due to health issues and house moves, etc, but I had enough time to find a local shop that sells second hand action figures.  Most of them are small things but they sometimes have 1/6th stuff in there too.  I picked this guy up last week.



He's stood next to my monitor in the office (much to my wife's distaste!).  He didn't actually come with his lightsaber, but during our house move I noticed a spring loaded gun from the 3.75" range of figures my son used to have.  It had been mixed up with our 1/6th stuff and looked a bit like a lightsaber handle.  I cut out the spring and stuck a glow stick which I also found during the move:



During the construction of the lightsaber I accidentally bent the glow stick, causing it to glow.  This might have made a really cool picture but sadly I couldn't get a good image:



I have got a few other glow sticks, including an orange one so if I find a Darth Maul they could have a rematch and see who wins this time!

A superb looking figure, Pete! I Love anything Star Wars!

You've also done a nice custom build on that light saber, the last photo reminds me of the quiver tip on my fishing rod when i used to go night fishing.

Hope you are keeping well, mate

Thanks Clivvers. Actually, the last picture sort of explains why you've never heard of a Jedi ninja - they'd never creep up on someone in the dark with a powered light saber, would they?

Awesome figures. Nice idea the glow stick for saber beam.
Have several of the HASBRO SW characters inc 2 x speederbikes and tauntaun.

Two speederbikes?!  I'm jealous!

Here's another pic.  I think R2 has shrunk and the Minion doesn't really look impressed, does he?

Fantastic stuff Pete!, great find too

Well I can always be talked into a trade for one Speederbike LMAO

bored tired or unimpressed

It's a very nice figure, Pete, you should definitely take good care of that figure    

I remember seeing loads of 1/6 Star Wars figures in Modellers Loft when i used to go to their old shop in Caterham, Surrey. What a place, it was 1/6 action figure heaven! My visits there will always be remembered fondly, you could easily spend a whole day in that shop and it will feel like you've only been there a few hours    

R2-D2 is one of the most custest and lovable Droids, and only second to the "B9" robot in 'Lost In Space'.
