Serpentor karaoke? "Everybody wants to rule the world..."  Agent Helix is the announcer *ahem* For tonights entertainment, a standard Cobra Trooper with horrible aim verses standard G.I. JOE with a chainsaw.....place your bets ladies and gentlemen, 5 to 1 on Chainsaw Joe (or should it be 5 to 1 on the Cobra, I never understood these things). And the final challenge for this evening, King Serpentor will fight (talks to offstage director: is this for real?) some blind guy (thats kind of fucked up dude). |

I got this tank last November at a toy show for $2. Missing the top hatch and guns. Some kid used a marker on it, too.  |

Interesting vehicle. I like that you got a trooper just riding on the back.

The Republic Fighter Tank never appeared in movies or even the cartoon, just video games and such. It's surprising they made it, but I guess they wanted another smaller clone trooper ground vehicle for the toy line. I also found another one last year with no hatches or weapons.
Hasbro even remade it when they cheaped out on the vehicles a few years ago. The second one is smaller and hold one guy and it like hollow on bottom. I never got that one.
Empire at War video game had the Empire using modified fighter tanks with a bigger turret gun. They were crappy in the game, useful only because they could hover across water.

lol! That's a pretty creepy house! POTF figures are totally underrated. Although they lack articulation, I think they look much better than most of the newer figures that were done by Hasbro. Bespin Luke, Imperial Guard disguise Luke, the Han Solo that came with Jabba the Hutt, Oola...in most cases, they just look more like Star Wars figures to me...and in general, better. Hasbro figures look better to me when a figures articulation isn't placed where flesh goes...and when the character is concealed by a helmet i.e. Vader, Boba Fett, Storm Trooper, ect. Kenner figures hands also just look better in general. Even though they have gripping hands, they don't look unusual not holding a weapon, like Thrawn does in your pics, he looks fine. Hasbro figures look like they REALLY need to be holding something RIGHT NOW! It's weird and unnatural in appearance. I hope Thrawn turns up in one of the sequels (It's really weird to say that word with Star Wars). Just to completely warp fans minds about whats canon and whats not That, and he's just a super cool villain that deserves some film recognition. I thought when Lucas made changes to the original trilogy, he might have redone the actor who sits at the imperial conference table (he's in an all white Admirals uniform), and changed his face to look like Thrawn. |

Rumors are that Thrawn will appear in the Star Wars Rebels cartoon next season, which is apparently canon now.
The POTF 90's Thrawn can sit down and has a better head sculpt than the comic pack one. I wish I had him back in 1998 or whenever. His expanded universe wave soured me on Star Wars collecting because I didn't find a single figure from that wave at retail.

It's actually a pop-up book, Horrors of the Haunted House. You have to put something in the middle of the floor to keep it opened all the way.
Sad part is my dad sold it, he sells books online. I just noticed it and took a few pictures before it got shipped away forever. (Can't cancel the sell because it hurts his seller rating). Now I want a copy. Argh!

I never knew they even made an X-men HQ at any point. It works remarkably well for Star Wars though.

It's a weird set from Toy Biz's earlier years, when the cartoon was on. It folds up into a cylinder. It tries to incorporate the Danger Room and Cerebro and stuff into one space...  |
