VC ROTS Anakin Skywalker Review

Image
 This week's post is a long awaited figure review. After the negative events and feelings I've had for well over a month, I feel good enough to do a review. Especially if I'm not disappointed. And with the new Anakin Skywalker from the Wally World exclusive 2 pack with Commander Cody, I have in my hands a figure that in my opinion will be tough to overcome as the best figure of the year. In my Lagniappe Section, the BanthaSkull Disqus commentors take over as I have really needed to be positive, especially with all the recent happenings in the VC.  Before I begin, after opening the Obi-Wan figure I lost the extra hand. Now that I've just found it, I can begin my review. Now I should note that while the Anakin Skywalker figure is the main point of this post, I wanted to show the packaging. Anakin came to me via Fed Ex, while I had to drive out of state to find Obi-Wan, although to be fair I was already there but you get the point. Retail exclusives are supposed to actuall...

HasLab Support Wish List

Image
 Without a HasLab on the horizon for delivery next year, Hasbro's plans for the Vintage Collection for 2027 is going to be different. So, this gives Hasbro an opportunity to catch up on supporting HasLab's already completed. Which is good, especially with one of the previous campaigns that has gotten little to next to nothing. In the Lagniappe Section I'll explain why one figure I planned on reviewing isn't going to happen for a while. My rule for this list is an emphasis on who was physically interacting with the ships or place itself. So, without further introductions...  1. JABBA'S SAIL BARGE  The 1st Star Wars HasLab kinda limped over the finish line, and I believe adding a POTF carded YakFace figure was what put it over the top. While getting some immediate attention from Hasbro, they have played a long game in support of this.

2026 SDCC Vintage Collection Reveals

Image
 It's that time of year again, the San Diego Comic Con has come, and now gone. It's honestly my favorite time of the year, as the SEC also had their media days this week. When it comes to LSU in Lane Kiffin's first season, I am not going to be optimistic. I was last year and they went into the crapper. Literally. But enough LSU football stuff, you're here to get my takes on the reveals from the Vintage Collection, and I have to say, it ain't all bad. I'll give thoughts in the Lagniappe Section about MOTU Origins and plus, where you can find my Star Wars fan fiction that I'm working on. All images are from Hasbro PR and BanthaSkull and are not mine. VINTAGE COLLECTION VEHICLE REVEALS 1. Kenner Colors Luke's X-Wing  My first thought was "Why isn't this a Retro Collection vehicle?". I'm all for nostalgia, I mean, that's one of the reasons I love the Star Wars Vintage Collection and MOTU Origins so much. But you also get a maybe new X-W...
