Starwars Episode 1 Year 1999 Action figures !!! Absolute vintage Review of my collection !!!!

Dear Toy fans and Starwars lovers out there i wanted to share with you some of my absolutely vintage Starwars action figure which i have kept some many years ago. I bought all this action figure back in 1999 !!!!

Yes you got that right .... I have kept them all along for my own personal collection and never sold them.These version of the figures were never manufactured again (well as for now). But i still think this is one of the few classic action figures which were the key characters back in 1999 when the Episode 1 was first released.


Well i bought as many as i could so that  i could sell some and keep some. Well the ones i'm gonna show you are the one i have kept all along and all this while and i wanna share them with you. So enjoy the vintage collection back in 1999 !!!!!


This figure below is Mace Windu !!!!!







I bought this figure in a limited edition box which i personally collected from Hasbro. It was actually manufactured under the Kenner Label originally. One of the most exciting figure i had at that time.














Even the hood covering his head is done in very accurate detail like as it is folded down neatly to fit his cape !!!!






Even back in 1999 even the action figure resembled the actor itself with it's details of the face.It was a great job done. At that time that was Samuel L. Jackson.



The Next figure below is Captain Tarpals. The Gungan warrior.





I find this Figure to be absolutely fabulous for the fact that it's one of the most authentic and very detailed uniforms for the character itself. The colors are absolutely nice and the uniform is really fantastic !!!!
Hasbro has done a fantastic job with this one. Back in 1999.







The staff in his hands are absolutely removable. 
















The back of the action figures bares his ears like long scaly fins which are also done in very great detail.






As you can see here Captain Tarpal's close range shot is also great as a toy . The details are very much the same as in the movie !!!!





And who can ever forget this character which i'm gonna show you below. The character and the mother of all characters which started it all !!!!

Queen Amidala





This was the actual dress she wore in the opening of the Starwars Episode 1 saga and followed by other authentic dresses she wore throughout the movie !!!!!






Side view of Queen Amidala is also great as a pose as you can see the very detailed part of her upper sleeves and overall dress as well.














Queen Amidala's Dress also looks great. Look at the mini circles around the back of her dress. It's all part of the design of the dress which was made intentionally as in the movie where she was featured.






Queen Amidala's front part close up is also great with her signature make up and hair do's and also her long robe and necklace around her front part of the dress which are really made to the details as in the movie !!!!

Queen Amidala was a great creation for the Episode 1 Franchise as it was a whole new direction for the storyline with the beginning of the Starwars saga....


Well very much said the next figure below was the most captivating for me back in 1999 was the ultimate villain !!!! called Darth Maul !!!!

What captivated me to collect him was for the fact of his uniquely painted face and a really evil look and a great new villain in the making for the Starwars Saga as well.


Well this is it Darth Maul below !!!!




This version of Darth Maul is the version where he is wearing his full cape all covered in disguise while hunting for the Jedi's in the desert in tatooine, like in the movie. And of course his light saber in red.













The back of Darth Maul is also fantastic with the details of his hood over his head and the long black robe which he wears.










And lastly here a close up of his face. Well what can i say it's also done very well considering the technology back almost a decade ago when this original toy was being manufactured.


I hope this brings you some information on all the different characters from the original toy line from Starwars episode 1 back in 1999. I will show you more figures and toys back in 1999 and earlier if i have them with me and more great reviews and pictures coming your way ....... Cheerzzz !!!

Transformers Prime (Robots in Disguise) Arcee Review !!!!

After much consideration and after organizing myself some time to put aside i decided to do a review of this great toy as well. Its also one of the most popular toys in the Transformers Prime series and it would be a wste if i didn't review it for you. Well the toy is non other then Arcee from the Transformers Prime (Robots in disguise) version. The picture is below this line.






As you can see from this picture of her she is a completely different coloring from her counter part the First Edition of herself !!!! But this version which is used to color her she is much more brighter looking and when i went outdoors to take her pictures against the sunlight she became extremely bright in color and contrast.








































The next few pictures i'm gonna show you Arcee with her waepon and her different poses i gave her with her weapon as well.





As you can see her weapon can be attached at both her arms and the gun on the right is extremely big considering her size i wonder why they didn't make a gun like in the animated series small and just nice for her arms !!!! and actually she comes with 2 guns in the animated series. Wish they really had made those instead of this one and her blades.





These are the 2 weapons here as you can see which attaches to both her arms .






And here you can see the weapon can be combined as well to make it into one weapon which is extremely large for Arcee's size and physique as well .....



In the later part of the pictures i'll also show you how she looks like with the weapons combined and she is holding it as well.
























This is just her with the Gun weapon and not with her blade ....






































Arcee in this picture looks cool from the back as her colors really stand out in the sun. And i think other then her weapon i think in overall she is a very fantastic figure to have and own as she is the only female robot from the animated series so far.


The next few picture will be Arcee holding her weapon with it combined.






















Arcee's face in close up don't you think this is cool even here eyes are done to the detail !!!! Amazing !!!!







And here my usual pose !!!!! Next few pictures after this will be the vehicle mode of Arcee.















The circular holes which you can see on the front of Arcee's vehicle mode is made to contain the 2 weapons which comes with her to attach to the front for the ultimate attack mode which i will show you in the later posts.






















































Next will be the attack mode of Arcee in the picture which follow up.























































This will be the last picture for Arcee's review please note that this figure is awesomeness. And i would easily recommend you to get it as fast as possible. The shy blue bright color on Arcee i think is one of the best colors i have seen on a Transformers Prime toy and i think you shouldn't waste time read this review and go get your Arcee.


And by the way there will be other toys from my previous collections wgich i will review as well most probably my leader class toys which my facebook friends and fans wanted me to do and since i haven't done so for my toy reviews for my leader class i will do it accordingly. Be aware of my updates cheerzzz !!!!
