Vintage Collection Marrok & Eleventh Brother Reviews

Image
 Since both Marrok and the Eleventh Brother are both Inquisitors, I'm doing a lot of combination shots for their joint review, similar to my review of Han Solo and Chewbacca from ANH. And a hint: one of these figures will DEFINITELY make my list for the best of 2026.  If there were 2 non Geonosis figures I was looking forward to, it was these 2 figures. Any chance to add new red blades to my collection is a welcome one, especially since my March Madness and LFS selections are mostly Jedi and Sith affiliated figures. Honestly, I had so much fun playing around with them after opening them, that I delayed the reviews because of it. Oh, and in MAKMCSWF review of the Eleventh Brother, he said he would be the last to do a review. I commented on his review video that I would be the last one to do a review, so here it is. Along with Marrok.  The articulation on both figures is amazing! None of the joints were too tight, so no need to dip them in just boiled water to loosen them u...

May 26th VC Livestream Reactions/Star Wars Crossover Toylines

Image
 On Tuesday, Hasbro had a livestream. I gave a tiny opinion in the BanthaSkull Disqus comment section, but I wanted to go in depth here. Also, what was going to be my main topic, Star Wars crossover toy lines, will be my second half post under the Lagniappe Section. Images by Hasbro PR, and aren't mine.  BLACK SERIES REVEAL This was the only Sixer item that interested me: If you look closely, it appears that Grogu can move his arms. I'd like to see this happen for a VC Grogu, but if you want that near the 1:18 scale get the Epic Heroes or ActionVerse (which is slightly larger) for that. This Grogu will be available at brick and mortar for $10, which is what his 1st version went for. This time he has a blue package instead of red. If I see him, I'm getting it.  VINTAGE COLLECTION REVEALS  1. Hera Syndulla (Rebels S1/S2)  I'm not opening my Ghost Hera, as I may want/have to sell them one day. Not a bad figure, the face sculpt appears to be based off the live actio...

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...
