On this episode of the Smuggler's Galaxy Podcast, customizer Ryan Shaw, better known as Bantha5 on Instagram and the old Rebelscum.com forums, joins the discussion to lend his thoughts on Hasbro's Retro Collection. As someone who has creature vintage style action figures of Leia, Figrin D'an, and Gargan, he has some ideas on how to improve the sculpting of this line and be more reminiscent of the vintage Kenner figures. Ryan also has insight on how some of the vintage figures were sculpted and the special wax used at that time. Ryan even made adjustments to the Retro Darth Vader released with the Obi-Wan Kenobi wave.


Additionally, Glen attended Legioncon, a toy show in Smyrna, Ga., and gives a report on how that event went. They also discuss pick ups this week. Download and listen!
