Random Star Wars Thoughts June 20th Thru June 26th

 Well another week has passed and the big topic is toxic fans. Now I enjoy Star Wars Theory's YouTube Channel. It's neat to see someone take his love of Star Wars (among other properties he likes) and can make a living doing that. I admit I'm jealous, but I'm not as creative as he is. Plus my tech skills, well ain't that good. Check out his Vader fan made video, talk about epic! Anyway, he caught heat from some fans and finally clapped back at them. SWT correctly pointed out that the ones who call other fans toxic are themselves the toxic ones. Well, they blew a gasket over that and gave him grief. But they proved him right. Props to SWT for not backing down to a rage mob. And as far as toxic fans go, take a cue from this guy named Brock. I lifted his quote:


"I'm glad you liked it. I didn't like it."

We could all learn from Brock.

No comic run this week due to work so I'll wait until next week. Crimson Reign issue 5 came out. I am not a fan of the long crossover but my comic store is a small, local business so they get my money. When I have it. Also no new books, waiting on the Luke/Lando novel to hit paperback. Same with the Obi-Wan/Anakin Disney Canon novel. I'm considering reading one of the many Legends novels I have but we have an oppressive heat wave down here and well, I'm in a lazy mood.

Last week Black Series had the most new product reveals but the VC got a brand new Darth Vader figure for Kenobi, while the Black Series Kenobi Vader is a repack of the ESB version. This week the Black Series got a deluxe figure from Kenobi. Calculon! Sorry, NED-B. He looks like Calculon. Anyway he is up for preorder. The VC gets a Kenobi 3 pack, with Obi-Wan in his blue shirt he wore in the 1st episode while at Tibidon Station. There is also a Jawa, and a Purge Trooper. This 3 pack is an Amazon exclusive and will ship in March of 2023. So spend about $40 for 1 6 inch figure or $51 for 3 1:18 (3.75 inch) figures. If you want to that is.

No I haven't seen Kenobi yet but it has wrapped up and I know about the "Hello there!" He tells Luke upon first meeting him. So you probably have seen that already. The memes are already out in full force. Some like it. Some don't. Which is typical of Disney Star Wars. Now, I have a Kenner ESB Review of C-3PO and R2-D2 ready but might have 1 or 2 more blog posts. As I type this it's Friday and anything can happen creatively wise before or during Sunday. Thanks for reading!!

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...
