Welcome to the Vault Project.... let me check your access and we should be good to go.
When the Mephitsu Archive launched in 2015, it was name as such as I envisaged this becoming an archive of action figure reviews and images over its life. In those 5 years I have expanded the site massively with various pages made up of figure lines with a checklist of releases and a link to any reviews I have completed.
This has led to a very big site that is reaching capacity using static pages, and its time to try something new - shifting our archives to a database format we are calling The Vault.
Each vault will contain a full checklist of releases for that category of action figure, with year of release, wave information and links out to reviews. By using a database we can make every vault page interactive with filter boxes and search functions. We can also massively increase capacity allowing us to cover more and update more and more into the archives than we could ever do via the old format.
Our first Vault launches today, timed perfectly for May the 4th... Over the past few weeks and months I have moved over 300 Star Wars Black Series reviews into a database format and you the collectors can now access this. Being UK based I have ensured that our's is the only database for Black Series (that I am aware of) that captures UK information on exclusives.
Once loaded you can filter the Star Wars page by Phase (1, 2 or 3), by year of release, by Movie, by Faction and even search for individual character names or wave numbers. Each figure release is linked to a review where available in which you will find galleries of the figure. Some of our reviews are old and dated now, and overtime these will be updated and reformatted.
This is still a work in progress, so please let me know if there are any errors or something is not working. I am aware the Phase buttons on the menu are a little fuzzy, these are on the to do list.
So for now, enjoy and May the Force Be With You!
