Totally. I still have my original Empire Strikes Back imperial Attack Base playset. When the kids were younger we'd take it out when it snowed and augment it with real snow to create Hoth battles. Now I'm waxing sentimental and if it snows this weekend as predicted, I might just have to take outside for old time sake.

On another note. I also picked up the Sabertooth and Titanis  sets. I really like the Titanis (and am generally a fan of the  prehistoric mammal megafauna generally). I just wish they had slightly more articulation.

Now that looks great. I am partial to putting on OT Troopers, but man that Mammoth works great.

Off to share on the front pages.

Hasbro has to make us some new beasties for our troops.

I agree Tamer, I would love to see more creatures in the line. I was originally going to try a Snowtrooper (ESB), but the kama got in the way, so I had to adjust to a non - kama wearing trooper. In the fading daylight, the tank trooper was my fastest grab:)

Great outdoor pics.
The Woolly Mammoth fits very good into the Star Wars universe.

Thanks FF - I thought it worked.

Tolkien's orcs have their Wargs, but these orcs (from Boss Fight Studios ) have their Ferracors (the Smilodon from the new Primal Clash line).
A "just for fun" picture for the beginning of Presidents Day Weekend.





I provided the second picture to get a better sense of the actual colors (of both the Orc and the Smilodon). For those interested, the machete does actually come out of the saddle sheath.
Have a safe and enjoyable weekend everyone.

Wow, looks like a perfect way for the Orc to saddle up. Proportions looks perfect. Off to share.

Thanks Tamer. I do like the scale for the Smilodon, so it's a keeper (and maybe I'll buy a couple more at $7.00).

For seven bucks I can see why. You could have an entire Orc Calvary of sorts. Reminds me a bit of Battle Cat. I could see making some head armor for this kitty.

Gorgeous work!

Yes, the price is what got me to bite in the first place (well, and my love for prehistoric mammals). I could see a 3 3/4" conversion for Battle Cat, that's a great idea - for someone else:)

I agree, another very cool idea! Didn't know Boss Fight had such good-looking figures, too!
Thanks for sharing Starchaser!

Thanks Philipp - Yes, Boss Fight figures are really outstanding. Admittedly they cost a lot - twice what a Vintage Collection figure does (I'm pretty cautious about how much I'll spend on toys), but the figures themselves and their accessories are most excellently done.

Thanks, Stan. I'm trying to figure out if I can customize a woolly rhinoceros or brontotherium, because there are no remotely to scale toys/models I can find.
