Day 9

Sugar coma.

#7: Star Wars Clone Wars Commander Bly

Wow, it's been about three weeks since the last time I got any new toys. It seems like it's been forever. I went to Target today, and they had this new wave of Clone Wars figures out, so here we are. It's Commander Bly, Aayla Secura's second in command. He was in the movie, you can see him gunning her down on Feleucia. Obviously, he's also shown up in the cartoon, which is why he gets this figure.

When the clone troopers first showed up, it was kind of weird thinking of the guys in white armor as the good guys, since I grew up with the Stormtroopers as bad guys. Now kids are growing up with the Clone Wars cartoon as their primary source of Star Wars entertainment, so I wonder if they think it's weird seeing the guys in white armor as bad guys when they watch the original trilogy. I wonder what it's like to grow up with the entire saga complete.

Day 8

Brothers?

Day 7

Halftime. For the record, I prefer the kind of football in which all the players on the team touch the ball with their foot.

Day 6

You really shouldn't play with your food.

Day 5

You really can't turn your back on these guys, even for a minute.

Day 4

Big news! The AT-AT was officially announced today via a Hasbro press release, and it will cost 100 bucks. I was afraid it would cost more than that, so that is welcome news. I'm expecting pictures come Toy Fair. ARFie is taking the AT-ST on a joy ride to celebrate.

Day 3

Some times, it just takes your bare hands.

Day 2

Flying crane style. Or maybe stomping on a bug.

Day 1: Welcome to ARFebruary

For the past few years, I've been doing a project in which I take and post a picture for each day in February. The most recent two years have featured toy themes (clone troopers, and Captain Rex) and I am keeping up that theme this year with the ARF Trooper. As such, I have dubbed this year's endeavor "ARFebruary". Since this is my toy blog, I figured it would be appropriate to showcase here. So for the rest of the month, there will be a new picture of the ARF Trooper posted here.

I was thinking of doing a Bizarro theme, but I figured the cape might get in the way if I want to do sitting shots, much like Captain Rex's skirt did last year. Star Wars figures are also easier to cart around due to their compact size. The ARF Trooper also has lateral hip movement, which helped put him in the running. So, enjoy ARFebruary!
