Random Celebration Anaheim Thoughts

 Before I get started remember this is not an organized post as I just randomly post on new information I learn as Celebration unfolds. So, with that in mind you get a sloppily written post but you also get a fresh take as I write on something I just found out about. Normally I think it out in a bit more detail.


Jazwares gets in on a new type of toyline that looks similar to Mission Fleet (but is actually more like Micro Machines) with a couple exceptions: 1. The vehicles have more detail and 2. The figures don't appear to come with weapons. But like Mission Fleet they can fit inside, so that's a plus. Check out the introduction line and other details here:

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/star-wars-celebration-jazwares-micro-galaxy-squadron-vehicle-reveal-160102727.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly90LmNvLw&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAMxn2jsa67vzhijlEu0zrg_HVhqsXCGiMYmGkUyHgQSenVIA4UUZVdUxJD_IBHvkroBYHFfeWR_kdffMaS97lBvVJGCe8DifvR5Z2i_S2odi1MaeIYzOYtBq8N5QQmzitL_BNTdnWKlrsYQy4_UCzGhAC2wmnRjvdWIpheTsV4aA

Andor, the show people claim nobody wanted has an awesome trailer! Genevieve O'Reilly is back as Mon Mothma, (who looks absolutely gorgeous as usual in the trailer!) & we get some insight into Cassian's early life and see the fat, lazy Imperial Officers who if they survive the show will no doubt get Force choked by Vader. Also Kenobi debuts this weekend and as of this typing I have no plans to see it just yet. But I soon hope to!

Jude Law joins the Star Wars universe in Skeleton Crew, which is supposed to take place after Endor and probably during Operarion Cinder as seen in Battlefront 2, The Mandalorian & a central theme in the Aftermath Trilogy of novels. As of now Disney hasn't aired a trailer (nor have they for what they showed of Mando Season 3).

Speaking of Mando, both he and Ahsoka will be coming in 2023! For Mando expect Bo Katan to be the villain and my theory about Mando getting Luke to teach him how to use the Darksaber may come true if that is the case. Ahsoka will take Sabine and maybe a few others to find Ezra Bridger who is lost in the Unknown Regions with Grand Admiral Thrawn.

I won't go deep into the VC reveals as there wasn't much, although the Darktrooper has neat concept when you buy multiple figures as you can stack the charge racks together. But hands down the Black Series wins the Celebration Toy news this weekend! Not only are we getting Reva, but also the Grand Inquisitor, Fifth Brother and 4th Sister. With the 2nd Sister from 2019 we now have the 1st 5 Inquisitors, all in the Black Series. Aayla and CW Maul are coming and the Black Series Kenobi will come with a little droid (LOLA, who will also come with the VC Kenobi). And coming down the pipeline are Bastila Shan & Darth Malak! Reva's lightsaber for the Black Series is the latest HasLab, this has a better chance of being funded as Inquisitor lightsabers are really neat, but unless the blade spins I have doubts if it funds.

Tales of the Jedi will be an animated series, and will have individual storylines. We got a look at Ahsoka as an infant and her discovery by Plo Koon. But we also get a look at Jedi Master Dooku and his apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn voiced by Liam Neeson! Some promo art is shown but, yeah. No trailer. Same for Mando, Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew.

Well that covers Celebration, I should have 3 more blog posts today, including 1 that is a first for me on the blog. It's something Mandalorian related.

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...
