Random Post Celebration Anaheim Thoughts

 So I've had some time to digest the info from Celebration Anaheim and after getting in my 1st preorders of Kenobi related stuff which for VC is Obi-Wan and Reva (which is so far an outstanding action figure, her lightsaber can break down into 2 and also combine into one larger double bladed weapon). On the Black Series it's Aayla Secura, Mandalore Maul, and to battle my Kanan & Ezra figures the Grand Inquisitor & Fifth Brother. I know I was swearing off Black Series but those Inquisitors were too good to pass up! As far as the lack of VC goes it isn't a surprise, sadly. I might touch on that in a blog post either later today or next week.


Hoping to get the new comics out this week: Vader issue 23 & Star Wars issue 24. I don't like the Crimson Reign crossover, but the individual CR issues are intriguing. But I still find it ridiculous that not only do the Knights of Ren succeed in stealing an item from Vader's castle, but that Vader only kills one of them for it. Also, since Vader knows of now the Knights of Ren & Exegol how he doesn't tell Luke any of this once he is redeemed?!

Speaking of Black Series there is a "new" Darth Vader figure. If you missed out on Darth in 2020 you can get him now. The cape is a bit too large in my opinion but it isn't a bad figure at all, just some slight paint mods to make this Vader fit in on Kenobi, which I still haven't watched. No Disney Plus in my home. Yet. Getting close to ditching cable.

That wraps this post up, hoping to have 3-4 more today!

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...
