Star Wars 50th Anniversary

Image
 Yes, I have a new figure in hand: Baze Malbus. But, I don't feel like doing a review yet. Why? It's hot, it's humid, and I get lazy when that happens. But, what to write about? I thought about doing a post about what I would so if I ran Lucasfilm now but it would be a broken record. But with the 50th anniversary of Star Wars next year, I felt it would be interesting if I planned out the entire year for the Vintage Collection. Like many collectors, I feel that there will be a strong emphasis on ANH, and Starfighter will get a few figures as well. But will we get vehicles, or playsets? Find out as I plan the 5 retail and 2 Fan Channel waves!

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...
