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...

St Tammany Collector's Convention Haul 2026

Image
 Originally I had no plan to make a post until next weekend, but I didn't want a month long break from the page, so I'll just be doing a quick blog post. Yesterday I attended the St Tammany Collector's Convention in Mandeville, Louisiana. It's a small, but growing convention in the area and is known for finding good deals on some new or older figures, comics or other collectibles. I had a small budget of $200, and I am proud to say I came in under budget! So for what I found Star Wars, and non Star Wars related, read on!  1. MOTU Origins Cartoon Collection King Randor & Queen Marlena I missed out on the preorder for Marlena a while back, and while Randor was at the only Wally World that had a mid aisle collectors section, Marlena was never there. This haul coat me the most at $70. I really needed a King Hiss as mine suffered a snapped knee joint, and no luck on finding one. Or any OS Star Trek Playmates figures. But I'm happy I got these 2. Although I may use bo...

Defending My March Madness Picks; Andor Series Review

Image
 My March Madness picks may be both controversial and angering to some of the collectors. To that, I say good! I could use some more views for that! But why have I voted the way I have, and why do some votes cancel each other out? I'll explain why in this post. Also, I have finally watched Andor S2, and will give my thoughts on the entire series, and what figures I'd like to see. And none of the figures I want are named Luthen Rael. I'd only want Luthen if there were 3.75 inch SA Avengers movie figures easily available (hard to get some of those made back in the day, and no Spider-Man or Guardians of the Galaxy movie versions available). But besides Cassian, there are 3 named characters I want. Plus 2 other named characters we already have that need updating.  Round 1 I have already covered. So today I'll cover the 2nd and 3rd rounds as at the time of this writing, we're at the Elite 8. Winners images posted by Tyler @ SWTVC from his Disqus account, and they are not...
