The new battle cry for the Vintage Collection is to #MakeTheMains and while this mostly applies to new versions of Luke, Han, Leia and Ben Kenobi from A New Hope. But, with the new addition of barbell hips to the VC, it makes older versions of the main characters look bad. Bespin Luke, Bespin Han, Hoth Leia, Endor Leia (just to name a few) look like crap compared to new figures like Darth Vader, and BOBF Luke Skywalker. But, there's a problem: the cards. Some of those older figure re-used the same Kenner cards. I've solved that problem, as I'll suggest alternate images that can be used. This will be the first of 3 posts over the coming weeks as both the Prequel and sequel eras have mains that are needed.  This list will NOT have ANH versions of Luke, Leia or Han as we already have a ANH Leia coming soon. But this list has figures of the main characters that need the new barbell hips as collectors want mains to be all new sculpts. I chose Home One for most of the ROTJ look...

  While this character first appeared in the animated Star Wars Rebels series, the Grand Inquisitor made his live action debut in the Obi-Wan series, and both the Black Series and Vintage Collection made his first super articulated figures for those lines. There was an animated style figure done for the 5 POA line, and for the Retro line as well, but they aren't worth mentioning here. And with the HasLab Ghost fully funded, you need a figure to chase Ezra and Kanan around. So how does this figure stand out, and where does it fail? Read on to find out! The GI sports the same, standard 17 POA most Vintage Collection figures have. He has the new barbell hip joints, but the leg armor hinders some of that movement for posing purposes, but the thigh swivels can be easily moved to achieve some of the poses you can see below. The paint apps and sculpting are excellent, especially on the head as it does resemble the live action actor quite well. The cape doesn't hinder any head movement...

  Filmmaker Matthew Vaughn created lots of clickbait content as he stated he would like to reboot the Star Wars Saga. As you can imagine, this was not well received by hardcore Star Wars fans. Heck, most of Disney Star Wars isn't well received by fans. Notorious click bait master Mike Zeroh now talks Rachel Zegler, Jada Pinkett-Smith & Will Smith instead of Star Wars. There is something that does need rebooting, and if it's done correctly could not only bring back fans to Star Wars: reboot the sequel trilogy. To be fair, the sequel trilogy was a soft reboot of Star Wars. Rey, not Anakin becomes the Chosen One, and fulfills that prophecy (very poorly). The way Legacy characters were handled upset many, including me. Disney's biggest mistake was thinking the majority of the general public would care about their characters as much as they do about Luke, Leia and Han. Breaking news: they didn't! But there are fans of those characters and movies, and what I propose will ...

  Ever since he appeared in the new (2015) Marvel Comics, collectors and fans wanted Black Krrsantan. He's a Wookiee bounty hunter, and kicks butt all over the galaxy. He even encountered Obi-Wan while he was in exile on Tattooine! A Black Series figure was done...and it was terrible. Basically a repainted Chewbacca figure. Hasbro corrected that mistake for the Black Series, and decided to share the wealth for the Vintage Collection with an all new sculpt for Krrsantan. Of course it helped he appeared in the live action series Book of Boba Fett. Sporting the standard 17 POA, Krrsantan also has the new barbell style hips, so he's flexible but the sculpted fur does block some movement, but it doesn't make me disappointed. He can stand on his own, but leans forward, and that is due to the bulk, Krrsantan definitely doesn't skip gym days! So for most shots I had to lean him on the wall to get decent pictures. As you can see in one of the pictures below he takes up the entir...

  The first season of Ahsoka has come, and is now done. No word on when the 2nd season will begin. The episodes were mostly viewed as being good, but the finale created a divide as being good to absolutely horrible. I'm in the camp as the season overall was good, and some things did annoy me, but there are some silver linings, so to mirror a favorite Western of mine, I'll review The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Ahsoka Season 1 THE GOOD 1. Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka. She's great! 2. Diana Lee Inosanto as Morgan Elsbeth (she did her own stunts BTW, had no idea she also did fight choreography) 3. Rebels characters in live action: Hera, Sabine and Chopper. 4. What I've waited to see since 1991: Grand Admiral Thrawn in live action!! 5. Huyang. 6. Nighttroopers 7. Baylan and Shin All the lead actresses did the best with what they had to work with. Not all the scripts were great, but they worked with what they had. Thrawn for me personally is a highlight because I love...

  When Hasbro makes an almost fully tooled new figure, they knock it out of the park! See the Dark Times & ROTJ Darth Vader. And now, add Luke Skywalker from his appearance in the Book of Boba Fett. While the single carded version is coming soon, Target's exclusive deluxe set is shipping now, and by the pictures you'll see, this is something I went crazy on picture wise. And with good reason. For the view of the accessories the back picture shows what's included (top picture above).  First I'll cover Grogu. There isn't much to him, he can only turn his head, and cannot move his arms. But, you just need him to look cute, and he does! His arms are in a raised position, so he could levitate one of the 7 included frogs (3 levitating, 4 seated). The water attachment can hold the 3 levitating frogs, but mine fell off as soon as I got the picture. You'll need a bag to store these items in, I dropped a frog and needed my super powered flashlight to find it. Honestl...

 This week's entry is a short story I've had in my head for a while, and is set in my own alternate universe of Star Wars. I'll explain somethings in the comments to give additional information, as there are some things that will need explaining. And the disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, these aren't my characters and I am writing this for entertainment and don't seek financial gain.  THE DREAM Ossus, Jedi Temple Base Camp. 4 years after the Battle of Endor. It was a long day for Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight. After countless hours of debate, and help from not only Leia Organa, Han Solo and Lando Calrissian, his construction had droids finally arrived. Thankfully, C-3PO was also here to help them make sure they followed through on their basic programming. Leia through the New Republic Senate had put together the funding, Han used some old contacts and Lando had come up with the idea of using Hijarna Stone for the construction as it was capable of tak...
