Im a keen collector of 12" figures, the vintage, Collectors series, Action series and Sideshow. Im a great fan of the Sideshow figures, the only figures I take out if the box and display loose. My fave one has to be Luke Bespin, I always liked the vintage 3 3/4 figure too. The best Sideshow made would be Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi in my opinion.
But what is your fave 12" figure? How many have you got?

I have about 8 modern 12" Hasbro figures. My favorite one is the Boba Fett that came out a few years back. The one I really want is a complete vintage Chewbacca. I used to love that thing when I was a kid.

Xaos do you mean the VOTC Boba Fett? I have one of those, the best cheaper Fett you can get. I have the Jango Fett ultimate villian, just as good too.
Vintage wise I have a Darth Vader, Boba Fett, 3P0 and remote control R2-D2 but never owned a vintage chewy.
I have a loose vintage 3p0, didn't pay that much for it off ebay.
Im a big fan of the Dengar 12" and the Darth Maul Sideshow. Tyring to get a loose Han Stormy but expensive at this time.

Yes it's a VOTC Boba Fett. It really is awesome. I also have an Aurra Sing from the Masterpiece Collection that came with a book about her. An EP1 Darth Maul, EP1 Mace Windu, POTF Snowtrooper and Ponda Baba and the SAGA 1 Jawas 2 pack. Plus I have a modern 12" Vader but I'm not sure which line it came from. Bought it loose on ebay.
I really want that Jango. I should have gotten it when it came out in the stores. It is another one I would want most besides the vintage Chewie. I've bid on it before but it always goes to high for my price range.

I bid on a sing ages ago and missed out on it sadly, looks a great figure. Ponda is one im missing loose and boxed, not rare but cant sem to pick up a cheap one. That Fett is great though, looks so much better than the Collectors Series one. Got a snowtrooper boxed not loose, have a loose stormy Collectors Series.
Can you remove the helmet on the Vader?

Yea I got that one, its the Action Series electronic one, press the two buttons in his back and sound effects play. Thats a good Vader, one of the best, even if the helmet is a little out of scale.

I currently have 22 12" figures. Most are newer ones. I do have the vintage boxed: R2-D2, C3-PO, Chewy, Boba Fett(ESB), Luke, Obi. I have all but a complete Leia.
My favorite is the ESB boxed Boba Fett. It's a Palitoy box. Really cool.

I have a Darth Maul, and that's all.
12" are not in my priority list ;)

Since my last visit i have added a Sideshow very nice Ki-Adi Mundi, great figure and clothing but not many accessories come with it.
Also I have acquired 4 RAH 12" figures, Shadowtrooper, AOTC phase one armour Clone Trooper, ROTS Phase two white armour and a rather tasty Shock Trooper.
I didn't want to use the RAH stands because of damaging the sealed bags on the rear of the plastic inlay so I bought a few cheap Sideshow stands that do the same job. I also had a spare custom Dengar rifle knocking around that looks great with the ROTS white clone trooper. Love these 12" clones, the pride and place in my collection so far. The Sideshow Sandtrooper is next on my hit list.
Anybody out there bought any of the Ultimate 3/4 scale figures yet?

I am glad to see some 1/6 scale (12") fans here,though there are not many.I enjoy collecting and building 1/6 scale.Kit bashing etc. You are talking to a guy that did up Margarita ville darth vader lol. i would like the Jango Fett figure (UV),boba fett,and some of the clone troopers from revenge of the sith (hasbro).These would be used to make my renderings of Omega & Delta sqds.Does anyonye have a good source for getting some 1/6 scale RC helmets?
I would like to add a sideshow DM ,that would be cool to add to my collection.
my favorite 12" figures are storm troopers/clone troopers,fetts,
Darth Vader,and Darth Maul.
favorite females:
Bariss Ofee,Luminara Unduli,Zam Wessal,Aura singh,Leia (slave get up,bosh disguise,and endor look)put these head sculpts on GI Jane bodies and we would have some cool SW chicks.Think the endor body is a GI jane though.Have a great day.

I have a 12" Boba Fett that came out a few years back. It is completely awesome.
I want to buy a vintage 12" Chewbacca someday when I have the cash. That was one of my favorite SW toys as a kid.

The only two 12" figures I have are an episode two Shaak Ti (for my wife) and the Ultimate VADER set that came with everything to turn him from Anakin to Vader. Other then that, I would like to get a Stormtrooper, Biker Scout and a Snowtrooper.
