19. Hoth Rebel Trooper VC Top 25

At 19, the Rebel Hoth Trooper was the hardest figure to find as part of the 1st new VC wave since 2012. He's well sculpted, his backpack fits well, his pistol stays in the holster and he holds his blaster rifle well in a 2 handed weapon grip. https://www.jedibusiness.com/figureDetails.aspx?id=10115

Merrin VC Review

Image
  Okay, for REAL this time! If you recall in my Cantina unboxing post, I teased that it was really a review of Merrin. Fortunately I had everything shot in case the Cantina didn't arrive as planned, so I had this review planned as a backup. How does she rate as a figure, and what feature about her disappointed me? Read on to fund out!  First impressions: she's well sculpted, and easy to pose. Thankfully I didn't have to submerge her in just boiled water to loosen any tight joints. She's got the modern articulation standards (17 POA, barbell hips, ball jointed shoulders, elbows, knees, waist and swivel wrists since she's a lady), and is remarkably well balanced. Some of her poses I didn't have her leaning against the back wall. But, if displaying her loose you might want to invest in a stand anyway, in case she does tip over. Her card is good for showing her in "action" but without seeing her in the game, I can't really judge the image.  She's v...

Disney Era VC Wish List.

Image
 Before I begin this post, I want to clarify a few things. First, 75% of Disney Star Wars is garbage in my opinion. The only good things have been Rebels, Rogue One, both seasons of Andor, and the 1st 2 seasons of The Mandalorian. So the first question someone will ask me is "Why don't you come up with something better than what Disney has done?!" I did. I'll post the link to it at the end of this post. And the next question someone will ask: "If you hate Disney Star Wars so much, why are you making an action figure wish list for it?!" Another question I can easily answer. From a design standpoint, there are some great potential action figures that deserve to be made. And while I'm not a fan of the source materials for the most part, I am not arrogant enough to believe there aren't fans of those projects. There are. Will they also buy figures? That's still up for debate. So, a question posed to the Hasbro team at Star Wars Celebration by Jason, a...

NYCC Wrap Up; Price Increases & Star Wars At 50

 After a week of taking a break from social media, a week I spent drinking heavily, and assisting many single mothers who work at gentleman's clubs buy baby formula and diapers...I have returned! And if you believe I did all that, I have beachfront property in North Arkansas I'd like to sell you... My medical procedure was painful (0/10, would NOT recommend), but good news, no surgery needed for now, and no more medications partially because I'm tired of them not working, and given my situation I don't need any now. Plus it is the heart of football season, and I'd like to be able to have at least 1 drink. So, for now, I'm okay. Hopefully my new therapy routine will help alleviate some of the issues I've had. Not out of the woods yet, but hopefully I can avoid going under the knife. And I want to thank everyone who prayed for me, and wished me well. So, thank you! And to Chris and Nomad at BanthaSkull: I've prayed for both of you on what y'all have be...
