An interesting garage-kit of a redesigned submarine Seaview from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: [Link]

Still prefer the classic TV version.

Edit -  That rear view photo kinda gives me a "Fireball XL-5 meets Stingray" vibe somehow...

Statue Marvels has just completed a complete overhaul of the Bowen Designs Full Size Statues SNEAK PEEK section from the first post to the last! Even if you've visited the thread before, it's worth checking out all over again!

I've got the Buzz from 1995 and the Woody from ... when did Toy Story 2 get released? 1998? 99? 

The Revoltech ones are cool, but something about Woody being all plastic just throws me off. Looks awesome, though! Are they as impressive in real life as they appear to be in those pics?

They are actually still in the package, I got them for my son and he had guitar lessons that ran late. He's going to open them tomorrow, Ill take pictures so you can see them, but so far they look great. Target has one of the best Woody's I have seen. It says like 50 different things and is supposed to be scale to how he was in the movie.

I've been focusing on the Thinkway Toys "Toy Story Collection" line. They're the $50 versions at Target and TRU. They are supposed to be film accurate and full scale to what they are meant to be in the movie. I have Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Rex, and the Aliens. Bullseye has been scarce; I can't bring myself to spend $50 on Mr. Potato Head, even a talking one; and Lotso is an @******, so screw him!

Michael that's the Woody I saw, I love that one!

On a side note I went to Dollar Tree today and they had these for $1.00 which I thought were pretty cool it comes with a small figure with a base and 2 packages of stickers.

Oh, man! And let me guess, you don't know who is inside the package until you open it?
