Kenner Cloud Car Pilot

 Moving on to the Bespin figures is technically the 1st character Han interacts with on the Millennium Falcon's arrival to Cloud City, the Cloud Car Pilot!


This figure really isn't much to look at, quite honestly. He looks like a bench rider for the Washington Redskins. But he does have something new to the Kenner line, a unique new arm pose that he can hold his included comlink in. In Return of the Jedi we would see more figures with a slightly bent arm, but for the most part all figure's arms at this time were straight an unposed.

The sculpt is decent, especially the helmet. The face is not quite visible due to the "banana visor" which is a yellow color to the goggles. The paint isn't bad either. He comes with a comlink and blaster, so that's 2 accessories. Not a bad figure but unless you love the Cloud Car, not really a figure that you need. Even if you wanted to make a custom Rebel Fleet Trooper. Image from GalacticFigures.com

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
