Year End 2021 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

The year has come to an end, with Christmas next week, I'll not be posting as family time is more important. So as 2021 comes to an end, I want to talk about the good,  not the bad. Plus some previews of what I'll do in 2022. 2021 The Good: 1. Star Wars Visions. These stories were interesting, some were not great but it was good to see different types of stories "from a certain point of view". Hopefully more things like this get made. 2. Book of Boba Fett. I know it hasn't premiered yet, but Boba had been a fan obsession since the Holiday Special in 1978, and ESB. Seeing Boba rise up in a Don Corleone fashion will be fun to watch-especially if the rumors are true and Han Solo does indeed show up! 3. Comic books. Disney has done well with the comics. They are better than the movies (except Rogue One), and the storylines have been well done. Some art has taken a backstep, but the writing has been largely solid. 4. Black Series/Vintage Collection/Mission Fleet. Toys, toys, toys! It's been a great year for action figures of all sizes. New changes to the Black Series (no pins in the joints), Vintage Collection (Bo Katan will have real ball joint hips, so will Lobot), and the Mission Fleet rolling out more vehicles like the Razor Crest and Outland TIE Fighter. This is the time to start, or update your collections! So with that out of the way, what is coming to my blog for 2022? I'll be about anniversaries, the 20th of Attack of the Clones mainly. Also the 10 year anniversary of Disney buying Lucasfilm. But I will get back to doing more Kenner reviews than Vintage Collection reviews, but will review the newer ones once in hand. Also I'll do my own version of the High Republic Era, more like how I'd run that timeline. My time travel fan fiction is on permanent hiatus. I tried to come up with a story, but the Thor Skywalker YouTube channel did a damn good one, and it's a little better than mine would have been. I'll do a full blog post of what mine would have been, and how it would have ended. With that, it's time to wrap this post, and the year up. Merry Christmas, and may your 2022 truly be a Happy New Year!!

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...
