ANH Luke Skywalker VC Review

 Before I get to Luke, I'm going to cover the Ghost figures next week. Construction on the ship is currently underway, and once done I'll do a full review. So Ghost posts are coming, but for such a special figure, I hope you all can understand why I want to go ahead with this, my first new figure of 2025!  Now, I'm moving away from being a carded collector. So the days of me doubling up are coming to an end. Once the ANH Mains are done (and the Heir To The Empire 3 pack), so will my carded collection. I'll be sticking to openers.

I am going to do this review in different parts, and I'm not settled on the final number just yet. But today, I'm going to show you the box, and what's all inside it.  The front of the box has the full color shot, while the back is in black and white. This is a call back to the Kenner days when the vehicle boxes had the same thing. As you can see, this box is MASSIVE! It took me a whole to get good photos of it, and after experimenting with where to shoot, I found sitting on the far edge of my bed and zooming in worked best. The only other color photos are on the top of the box, and the sides have black and white images. Tho...
