On a different note regarding Eaglemoss. I completed a survey a few
months ago, asking about Babylon 5.

A recent interview confirms that they approached Warner Bros. & they
refused the licence.
Warner’s are refusing all potential licences for any Babylong 5 product
& have been for years now.

Disappointed does not even begin to cover my feelings on this.

Great Marvel figures, good art.  The close-ups admittedly had me fooled as to being genuine (latter day) JB art, but a closer inspection of the "covers"/boxes that the figures come in make it pretty clear those aren't typical JB poses or compositions... the stances look much too stiff to be the real Byrne deal, nor is there any real pizzaz to the design or layouts.

But again, those figures look GREAT.  I'll be scarfing them up at some point.  They just look so... wholesome!  They look like Marvel's true answer to the DC Super Powers line of the '80s, rather than those unsightly SECRET WARS figures...

Well, I’ve gone & done it. Ordered the HasLab Razor Crest from The
Mandalorian.

I think if Jabba’s Sail Barge had been released now, I would have
plumped for it, probably by selling a few comics to make up the
difference. As it is, the Razor Crest will be a fine addition to my
collection.

Problem is, I now need to buy some 3 3/4 inch Mandalorian figures to
go with it. I only have the 6 inch versions.

I’m still hoping that one day they will make a Ghost, but the odds are
slim.

I binged Rebels earlier this year and it reignited my love for Star Wars.
Recently got the Black Series wave and would love a Ghost.

I’m tempted by the Razor Crest, but like you I don’t have any 4” figures.
It comes with a Mandalorian though so there’s at least 1 figure. Still got
a month to decide I guess.

It’s reached it’s backers, so it’s definitely coming.

I think it’s big enough that my 6 inch wave will be ok around it

I would've loved to get that Nostromo. Do they ever
restock? I know Eaglemoss has re-released repaints of
Doctor Who figures or the originals in a bundle, but not
sure how that would work with a ship.

They do @ times Vishwas, but there are some models that do not
seem to get restocked - I’ve been waiting for the Star Trek space
station since first release - & that has never come back. I’m on a
mailing list for that one if they ever do restock

Hm. That site lists the Nostromo as 1/16 scale—which would make it about 70 feet long.

Not sure where I’d put it. ;-)

Bishop arrived. Terrible likeness. I’ll have to give some thought to how I might touch it up.

Dallas. Also a poor likeness, but wearing a space helmet, which would turn any attempted touch up into a major operation.

Thanks for the heads up, James, but my Orville interest has shrunk to nothing.
