https://linktr.ee/swtvc

Be sure to check that above link for a look at the bracket, and of course how to vote! I will attempt to put the bracket here, but if I can't you'll be able to get the full bracket in the link. In the 1st round my choices to advance were: Baylan Skoll (top seed), Mon Mothma, Garindan, Crosshair, Marrok & Qi'ra. If the voting link is out, try back tomorrow (3-11-24) as the next round of VC figures should be up. And I can't post the bracket here, so please take a look at the above link to see it! 

SWS PREQUEL ERA BRACKET

And now onto my 2nd bracket, and 3rd place ranked bracket: the Prequel Era! This covers the 1st 3 Star Wars Film Episodes, and the Clone Wars TV series, but not the Clone Wars Microseries, that falls under the EU/Legends banner. One surprise on my bracket is there are no Clonetroopers at all. I feel we have gotten a lot of them lately! But it's mostly Jedi, and Padme:

1. Obi-Wan Kenobi (TPM)
2. Darth Maul (TPM)
3. Qui-Gon Jinn (TPM)
4. Padme Amidala (Theed Battle TPM)
5. Padme Amidala (Geonosian Factory)
6. Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (ROTS)
7. Ki-Adi Mundi (AOTC)
8. Shaak Ti (AOTC)
9. Bultar Swan (AOTC)
10. Barris Offee (Clone Wars)
11. Mace Windu (ROTS)
12. Palpatine (ROTS Office Arrest)
13. Captain Typho (AOTC)
14. Captain Tarpals (TPM)
15. Captain Panaka (TPM)
16. Boba Fett (AOTC)


To decide the matchups via coin flip, I have decided to go with another 30th Anniversary coin, this one being from Padme and her dining room outfit from Attack of the Clones. Heads is Padme &  Tales is the AOTC logo. The higher seed will always be Heads. Here is the coin, images from Rebelscum:










1st Round Matchups; Winners are posted after the colon.

1 Obi-Wan vs 16 Boba: Obi-Wan
8 Shaak Ti vs 9 Bultar: Shaak Ti

5 Theed Padme vs 12 Palpy: Theed Padme

4 Factory Padme vs 13 Typho: Typho

2 Maul vs 15 Panaka: Maul

7 Ki-Adi vs 10 Barris: Barris

3 Qui-Gon vs 14 Tarpals: Qui-Gon

6 Anakin vs 11 Mace: Anakin

Rare that the higher seeds won out, quite the difference from a week ago!

Round 2 Matchups

1 Obi-Wan vs 8 Shaak Ti: Shaak Ti

5 Theed Padme vs 13 Typho: Typho


2 Maul vs 10 Barris: Maul


3 Qui-Gon vs 6 Anakin: Anakin


Round 3 Matchups

8 Shaak Ti vs 13 Typho: Shaak Ti

2 Maul vs 6 Anakin: Anakin

It always comes down to Jedi vs Sith doesn't it?!


PREQUEL CHAMPIONSHIP

6 Anakin vs 8 Shaak Ti: Anakin


PREQUEL ERA CHAMPION: ANAKIN SKYWALKER/DARTH VADER








This should of course be an all new sculpt, come with his lightsaber and unlit hilt, cloak and swappable Sith eyes head. But honestly, if they add barbell hips to the previous Anakin/Vader it would be acceptable but not preferable. So The Chosen One advances to the SWS Final Four!

Next week the Original Trilogy Bracket, and a special surprise! I will also have the latest SWTVC March Madness info on next week's post! And please be sure to bookmark the SWTVC link page and check it daily!

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...
