February Fandom Love Fest part 2 -- ACTION FIGURES!

[tangotabby]

One of the many things I love about fandom is the action figures, and the possibilities they present! I confess that I have taken to carrying a couple of them around in my purse, because you just never know when a photo op will present itself *grins

When the Stargate figures originally came out, I only wanted a Jack, as I was a Jack fan. Then I read if you get the whole team, you get pieces for the gate. Of course I wanted that. So my collection grew and grew as I also needed the ramp, the DHD, the MALP... LOL

Then I saw some funny pictures on the internet and wanted to so some as well. I invited some friends and told them they should bring everything that looks Egyptian. Some had lovely stuff. Still I was a bit hesitant, as I thought I can't force them to be interested in that as well, can I? So I put it all on the table, sat at the sofa and then was amazed how many hands were setting up a lovely scene, I hardly had time to blink! Over the years we have done many many more and have become more professional in background settings and lighting, but this first evening will be always special.

And we always laughed so much and had fun. Some scenes I do set up on my own, and plan it all beforehand, but the best are these that happen just because someone has a silly idea and someone else comments. And sometimes the figures get a mind of their own, falling over or lying in a special pose...

You need to be a bit carefully of not breaking off their hands at the wrists, but otherwise, you can do everything you want. They are waterproof also, we put our Jack in a fountain in Vancouver. We took them to originally Stargate shooting locations in Vancouver actually, I even had a big bug to sit on Teal'c's backside... Great memories. As I said in my other reply, just click the links and have a look!

And maybe one day you might buy your own ;) I have converted more than one friend into it. One of my friends is even making clothes and lots of props for her Jack, she takes him skiing and bike riding in the nature, awesome. On some pictures, he looks so real.
