Sideshow Collectibles has a new addition to their Militaries of Star Wars collection. The new Wolfpack Clone Trooper: 104th Battalion Sixth Scale Figure is inspired by Sergeant Sinker in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and features the Wolfpack’s blue-grey decor. It also comes equipped with a standard issue jetpack, a cool back pack, some killer weapons, and interchangeable hands and feet.

I had a chance to unbox one of my own, so I took a few pictures of that so you can see the packaging and see how cool he looks in the light of day. But I’m also including some of Sideshow’s photos because, let’s be honest, they’re better pictures than mine.

Head after the break to check it out.

A little while ago, Sideshow Collectibles sent me their DC Comics Catwoman and I pretty much lost my mind with happy.

I also did my first action figure unboxing and had a delightful time taking bad pictures and squeeing over details. But, as cheesy as I thought I was, the folks at Sideshow seemed to like it because they sent me something else.

Their Wolverine Sixth Scale Figure from The Wolverine.

I’m going to admit that I squeed. I promptly undressed him. I put him in fun poses. We (The GeekBoy and I because I need help with some of this stuff) laughed a lot when we took off his head to take off his tie and his head went rolling. (We’re so pro). And I took some (shaky/blurry/sometimes okay) pictures.

But here’s the main thing, bad photography aside. This figure blew my mind. The details are just unreal.

In my effort to get him down to his iconic undershirt and pants…

…we had to take off his overcoat, his suit jacket, his tie, and a black shirt — all of which had the teeniest buttons. Details like having to take his head off and then flip up his collar to get a tie off are just…awesome. Hilarious at my house, but I can’t tell you how many times I just sat there…staring at how intricate this was.

In the end, we got him posed up and got the adamatium claws on him (Oh yeah, he comes with, like, a gazillion hands: fists, relaxed, bone claws, adamantium claws)

and posed him on the mantel. He’s chillin’ there pretty happily.

I think my favorite picture is the one where the sunlight is reflecting off his claws.

If you want to see awesome pictures and, more importantly, get yourself this epic figure, you can get him now from Sideshow for $224.99, which I think is an amazing price for this level of craftsmanship.

Enjoy my hilariously bad photography after the break.

I’ll say it right up front. While I love action figures and collectibles, I’m a noob when it comes to unboxing and reviewing them. Still, when Sideshow Collectibles asks you if you’d like to review their new Catwoman Sixth Scale Figure, you say YES.

First of all, let me say. I was pretty proud of myself here. I only popped her head off and sent it rolling once. And it may have taken me a little figuring to realize there was a magnet in her belt to get it to sit correctly, but I did pretty well.

Now, on to my thoughts and my amateur photography. ::grin::

1) The packaging – Loved it. Everything was snugly tucked away, but everything was also easy to pull apart when you wanted to open it. I’m not a fan of plastic packaging that is so tightly sealed that you either have to cut it open or, as I’ve experienced, has to be pulled open hard enough that you send tiny pieces flying all over the floor.

Plus, I just like the box. Neat and minimalist in the front, sexy in the back. (As Fat Amy says: “Conservative in the front, party in the back.”)

I had to take a picture of her protective boobie packaging ;-)

I know it’s blurry but I loved this pose

Whip stays on due to a magnetic clasp. So cool!

I love this picture.

Like I said, it was all about play time by this point, so that’s what you’re getting pics of. We also set her up in a great, relaxed pose over the mantle.

You can see her in all her non-amateur photography glory and order her over at Sideshow. I highly recommend it. She’s gorgeous and there are only 20 left. If you need a nudge, this is me nudging you. You won’t be disappointed.

Thanks again to Sideshow Collectibles for sending me this gorgeous creature. I may not review like a pro, but I’m honest in my noobness and I love her to pieces.

I know you saw that commercial for Transformers: Age Of Extinction during the Super Bowl, but I got a nifty little email right after it about the Transformers First Edition Optimus Prime Action Figure from Hasbro exclusively through Amazon.com’s Transformers Headquarters shop.

This pic comes from the desk of Ericover at IGN. I’m mildly concerned that Eric may have a few anger issues to work out, but we’ll leave the armchair psych to someone who has an armchair.

Maybe I should make some kind of “Desk Pic of the Week” segment for Friday and ask people to submit pictures. ::grin:: Imagine the possibilities.
