Greedo/Walrus Man Kenner Reviews

Now I cover 2 of my favorite figures that sadly, I never owned! While one figure is a named character on film, the other is named by Kenner, as it wouldn't be until West End Games in 1987 gave Walrus Man a name: Ponda Baba. So today, it's Greedo and Walrus Man getting a quick review.


Greedo has IMO, the BEST head sculpt in the Kenner era. It looks spot on! Sadly, Kenner didn't sculpt the outfit he wore onscreen. However back then there was this thing called imagination which meant this could be Greedo,nor another alien from his species who wore a similar colored outfit (squint your eyes and go frame by frame in the 1977 version and you'll notice him). He comes packed with Han Solo style blaster, and is one figure I wish I had.

Walrus Man has a good head sculpt. Also the outfit he wears is a Kenner original as they didn't have a lot of photos on this character. Many fans assume this is Ponda Baba, and he may be but he was never confirmed to be. He has a good head sculpt, and comes with a Stormtrooper blaster. Using your imagination, he could be the one Ben Kenobi disarmed, or he could be another Cantina patron. Either way, he is a cool looking figure, even though his "fashion" seems dated in 2021

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

The Choice

 Finally posting this fan fiction! It's my retelling of the Book Of Boba Fett Finale, and instead of the 1st 2 chapters, I'm publishing the 1st 4! Just have 2 more chapters and the Prolouge to write, and the conclusion will come sometime next year. Disclaimers: I don't own the characters and am only writing this for entertainment purposes, and am not seeking financial compensation for this work. In the comments I have notes about the characters.  Dramatis Personae Luke Skywalker Grogu Din Djarin Boba Fett Fennec Shand Black Krrsantan Mara Jade Pelli Motto Ren Xanatos (Ren's enforcer) Ardella (Ren's enforcer) Komat Cad Bane Prologue Ren sat on his throne, and was attempting to calm the rage growing at the holographic image before him. The Pyke Syndicate representative had told him of what had happened to the Marshall of Freetown on Tattooine. Not the leader of the syndicate, but a lackey tells him this. A lackey! And to top it off, without coming to him

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
