Krrsantan Deluxe VC Review

 







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 entire cockpit space on the Millennium Falcon:






The sculpt and paint applications are excellent! There are areas where his fur changes colors, just as there is in live action. While Chewbacca is taller, and leaner, Krrsantan has more bulk, which is why he's on the deluxe card to begin with. One thing can be said for Hasbro the last couple years: they do a great job on their newly tooled figures! There is a SDCC exclusive version that has more weapons, and a roaring face sculpt, this version has his mouth closed. Below I have some figures with him, including the most recent Boba Fett figure: 





Since Krrsantan is deluxe, he comes with some extra accessories. He comes with 4 extra hands: 2 fists and 2 wide grip hands. Honestly, it took some effort to do hand swaps as I felt they would break so I decided against putting in the wide grip hands. He comes with his long blaster rifle, an electric effect which I promptly lost, a meiloorun (a fruit, and if you ordered the HasLab Ghost you'll need this since Hera also likes this fruit), and a tall mug so he can enjoy the Star Wars version of beer.

While not an essential figure for your collection, I can see Hasbro using this buck to make Tarfful from Revenge of the Sith, as well as some Wookiee Warriors. But for long time collectors it gives hope that an all new Chewbacca could one day come to pass as the current VC Chewie's are based off of a buck from 2004. I would rather him with extras as a deluxe figure as I've pointed out he's too large to be on a standard VC card. For loose display options pair him with any BOBF display, or a comics based one with Dr Aphra and her kill droids. A good figure, but the deluxe price may turn some off to it.

Coming next week, The Grand Inquisitor! I got him in yesterday! Thanks for reading! Please share this post on your social media accounts so I can get more readers!

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

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.
