Poggle The Lesser & General Veers VC Review

Image
 Originally, this was my planned post for May The 4th. Two figures from the center of both the Prequel and Orignal Trilogies. But, time got the better of me, and after opening both figures...well, I go on about them in my reviews. And in the Lagniappe Section, I go over some big news (rumors but let's not get too technical) that's dropped, and of course The Mandalorian and Grogu movie debuts this upcoming Friday! POGGLE THE LESSER I do like the card. Great image, and I like the color of the name pill. It's great! But what isn't great is the plastic tab at the front of the figure in the bubble. But, for the first time in the VC, at least on figures I've covered anyway, I don't recommend keeping him carded. As you can see, the tab is there to "hold" the figure in place. I removed it, tipped it down and the figure didn't fall out. His cane didn't fall out either. In my opinion, it's an unnecessary peace. And if you recall a couple years ago, H...

Star Wars Day 2026

Image
 This year marks the 49th anniversary of Star Wars. And with May the 4th coming tomorrow, it is a day for the fans, more than anything. Of course the true Star Wars Day is May 25th, but that's an argument for another time. This is a day for the fans, by the fans. So whether you enjoy Legends, or Disney Canon, or your own personal Canon, May the 4th is for you!  Normally, I would post about what you can get or buy for Star Wars Day, but with the recent livestream reveals being available to be preordered tomorrow, it's a moot point. Please feel free to search my blog for those posts in the magnifying glass on this page to find some of my older posts regarding Star Wars Day. So for today's post I will delay my planned reviews of Poggle The Lesser and General Veers for some different reviews.  I didn't collect modern Star Wars figures until late 2007. I had a few, but POTF2 figures were still my preference. But once the SA Obi-Wan from ROTS came out in 2006, and more figure...

The Mandalorian And Grogu Deluxe VC Review

Image
  This was supposed to be my review last week, but I was waiting on this to arrive from Pulse, and well, it took a while. But this won't just be my typical review of a figure. With The Mandalorian and Grogu movie coming, I'm going to show off some other things related to both characters. So I'll do a full review of this figure, plus some other reviews of some Mando products I've skipped over for a while. And before I get into the review, Hasbro has finally made a definitive version of Din Djarin, so it raises a question: what do I do with my other Mando's?! I'll give some possible answers (some will be custom made into other characters). So, let's get this started!  I wanted to do the photo above with the 3 Spider-Man movie figures but they just go for way too much money for me to afford. From left to right is the Rescue/HasLab/N1 Mando, the deluxe Mando and the Imperial Commando jetpack Mando from S3. This was a lot of fun to set up, and none of the figures...
