Ben Kenobi and Tonnika Sister's VC Reviews

Image
 After a long break, I'm back to doing figure reviews! I will do the last ones I had planned for 2025, and will be doing multiple reviews on single blog posts going forward. Today's figures are Cantina HasLab related, with all 3 figures being essential for Cantina displays. There's also been some breaking news over the last couple weeks, which I'll have in my Lagniappe section, a new feature to my posts going forward since I'm making them every other week now.  TONNIKA SISTERS  BREA TONNIKA  SENNI TONNIKA Without a doubt, these 2 figures are the most anticipated figures in the history of Star Wars collecting. Ever since the return of the line in 1995, and the hundreds of figures made from 1995-1998 before the beginning of the launch of The Phantom Menace line in 1999, the Tonnika's have been requested in Fan's Choice polls. Finally, we get them. But it's in a HasLab. So you had either a $350 or $450 paywall if you wanted to get them. Which I did.  But is...

2026 Vintage Collection State Of The Union

Image
 It's that time again, near the end of January, early February and it's time once again for me to deliver the State Of The Union for the Vintage Collection. Is the line heading in the right direction? What needs to be improved? Can we even find them in stores?! It's time for me to say where the Vintage Collection stands at this point in 2026. There is some good, some bad, but it isn't as bleak as things were a year ago. And now, the State Of The Union.  1. 2026 promises to have the VC back at brick and mortar.  While not every Wal-Mart has a collectors aisle  those that do sell Vintage Collection figures, as well as Black Series figures. You can also find Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection and Masterverse figures. Plus WWE Superstars figures. It's really good to see!

Hasbro Pulse Reveal Thoughts & Fan Expo NOLA Haul

Image
 Hasbro Pulse had their 1st livestream this year, and there was good news for both the Vintage Collection and Sixer Scum (lighten up, Sixers), aka Black Series! One Black Series reveal in particular caught my interest. This past weekend I made it down to Fan Expo NOLA, and while I didn't exactly get a lot of stuff when it came to figures, I did make some great comic book finds, plus a bootleg Blu Ray set that Disney should have already released. So today's post will cover all of the reveals, and all the hauls!  BLACK SERIES REVEALS  Watto, Taun We and a Geonosian Warrior are coming to the Sixer line in a fan channel wave. Yes, all that is good. But I'm not interested in that. What I am interested in is below:  Images from Yakface. Lord Starkiller, from the alternate ending of The Force Unleashed. And this is the version I've wanted in the 3.75 inch scale forever. I've been tempted to spend the $200 customs of this figure go for on eBay. But he comes with 6 lightsabe...
