April 24, 2009 My Lightsaber

I am a huge Star Wars fan. I might no know everything about Star Wars. I have collectin lightsabers. Each character in the star wars universe have different hilts. not all the lightsabers look the same because each jedi /or sith create and build their own unique hilt. It is a training that every jedi /or sith must do to become a powerful jedi master or sith. A lightsaber is an elgent weapon and not as clumbsy as a blaster.

03/24/2009 “Miho” from Sin City

I enjoy the Sin City movie and comics, I was waiting to watch the Sin City movie, but I was waiting for it to be on DVD. I like Miho, so i was shopping around for her action figure, and behold I found them at a comic collectors showcase in City Of Industry named “Frank & Son”. The guy was selling the girls of Sin City in a set for 85.00. I decided not to buy them all because the one I really wanted was Miho. Went home, and I searched on eBay for Sin City Miho. There are is a complete set of the characters were all black and white. I got the action figure on ebay, so i decided to take pictures of Miho. Check it out.
