Most Wanted VC OT Figures Part 1


When it comes to Star Wars toys, the OT is where it's at. They sell. A lot. But while a lot has been made, there is still more to go. One day, Hasbro will (maybe) finish off the original Kenner 96. Some of these are original 96, others were not offered originally. For the record, these figures are from the original 3 films, and comics that take place in this time. Also, these figures have yet to be in the modern Vintage Collection.

1. C-3P0 with removable limbs. One we need for the old 96, but a Black Series version was done as an exclusive. Just make sure he has a pack that Chewie can carry!

2. Hammerhead. My favorite Cantina alien. Hasbro made a decent buck back in the Saga Legends for the Clone Wars micro series Jedi of his species and it could be used here.

3. General Veers. He's the only competent officer Vader has. Plus he was the image on the Imperial Officer card in the Kenner days.

4. Tonnika Sisters. They have been requested for years, and are the 2 women who react to Luke asking the droids to leave the Mos Eisley Cantina.

5. Ben Kenobi. Only in the VOTC did we get Ben. Use the Legacy buck, but the head sculpt from the 5 POA Ben, and a new right hand and shorten the outer robe.

6. Sana Starros. Who?! She's in the comics and was Han Solo's "wife" for a smuggling job. She's also rubbed elbows with Lando and is a former and possibly current girlfriend of Dr Aphra.

7.  Tessek (Squid Head) Hasbro has an excellent Quarran buck from the Legacy Collection, throw on a robe and he's all set!

8. Mon Mothma. I like leader figures. Heck, even on a Rogue One card I wouldn't be upset. But if on a ROTJ card she'd likely be part of a Home One playset.

9. General Madine. Playset pack in most likely, or a retail exclusive. The Kenner version pegwarmed, so like Mon Mothma makes sense as a pack in.

10. Bossk. He's a bounty hunter, and was in Vader's briefing in ESB. Repack the SA Saga Collection version on that cool looking Kenner card.

11. Sim Aloo. Who? He got a figure in the 1980's as the Imperial Dignatary.

12. Karben. From the Vader comics, series 1. All he needs is a Mon Calamari head on General Grievous's body.

13. Chief Chirpa. The Boss Ewok! Plus we haven't had a super articulated version, just a 5 POA from 2006.

Much more to come!

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...
