Black Series 2nd Best/3rd Worst

Black Series 2nd Best & 3rd Worst


3rd Worst

Starkiller Han Solo

I'm not doing Disney Trilogy hate, but this figure is pointless. Just like the upcoming 4th worst figure. Here, we see Han in an outfit he wears for all of 10 seconds onscreen. Han in a winter coat is not needed or wanted, unless it's Hoth Han. No, we should have gotten his main look from Episode 7. Instead the 3.75 inch toy line got Han's main look in the 5 POA line. Had this figure had been Han's main look instead, it might have made my best list. Plus they could have reused the buck for an updated Bespin Han Solo.

2nd Best

Darth Plagueis

I love Sith Lord figures. Sidious, Malak, Revan, Nihilus, Bane, Maul, Tyrannus, Malgus, Krayt & Vader. They are awesome. Plus, Jedi need enemies to fight. Plagueis is from Legends as we have no idea what he looks like in new Canon. He's a Muun, so he is thin and tall. He comes with a breath mask (which is easily lost, I have no clue where I put it), a cloak which fits him well (except for the hood), & a staff which you can plug his lightsaber into. The articulation for this figure is great, the limbs are thin, but they are durable. Movement isn't an issue. I like the head sculpt, as he can pass for the younger or injured older version. If you have read the Darth Plagueis novel (next on my wish list) this figure is depicted from the pages of that book. He is essential to your collection and I am fortunate I got this figure cheaply on the secondary market since he goes for a small fortune there.

My SWTVC March Madness Top 25

  So I've finally gotten around to making my Top 25 for the SWTVC March Madness Tournament, and as a a reminder, the final day to get your Top 25 list is January 31st! When making your list, 1 is the most desired, with 25 being the least desired. So here is my list, with an explanation why they're ranked at their position. Some obvious omissions are Luke and Han from ANH because I think they'll both be in March Madness, and I did my best to spread it across the 9 episodic movies, plus video games and other expanded universe material. And as Casey Kasem said: "On with the countdown!" 1. Joruus C'baoth. He's my top choice because he's coming to the Black Series, and he's a Legends character. Plus since we have Thrawn, I want a C'baoth to better interact with him. This would have been Legends Thrawn, but due to the rules he couldn't be made as there is already an officer buck. 2. Mara Jade. You may have noticed my Legends trend, and you'd...

SWTVC & SWS 2024 March Madness Tournament Begins

  Every year, the SWTVC on Instagram does a Vintage Collection version of March Madness. If you want to join in on the voting, I'll add the article from BanthaSkull which has the Google Form link in it. And due to my attendance at Fan Expo New Orleans, I don't have an article completely ready to go, so once again, I'll do my own March Madness event settled by, you guessed it, coin flips! I will also be participating in the SWTVC March Madness poll and will do my Top 25 on here, since I want everyone who reads this to participate in that. For SWTVC, it's easy to do: make a list, in order of preference, of 25 characters you want to see as figures. For me, this is hard since I want all of these figures! For the Tonnika Sisters and Two Tubes, they will be counted as one figure. To participate in the SWTVC March Madness, click on the link below: https://www.banthaskull.com/story/news-vintage-collection-march-madness-2024-submit-your-top-25 And if you want to vote for your ...

2024 Last Figure Standing

Image
  Once again, Last Figure Standing is back for 2024! The rules are simple, 10 figures in order of preference. And another reminder this is for the Vintage Collection, I don't know if there is anything similar for the Black Series but if there is I'll share it here. Also note this was written in late July, as after SDCC, I have a few changes from last year's list since some of those are being made, but I don't see any changes for when this will start. And I should point out that voting hasn't started yet, but I am simply getting a jump start as I just got the VC Jabba the Hutt yesterday, and don't have time for a review and comparison to the 2010 Legacy Collection Jabba ready to go. Now, not all of these figures will be new sculpts, and of course I have just about all eras of Star Wars represented in this list. 10. Rey (Episode 8 Throne Room Duel). I hate the Disney Trilogy, but I want this figure since Rey looks like a Jedi. I wouldn't say no to a Rey Skywal...
