Next Sunday starts my VC Top 25 in 2025, and from May 4th thru May 25th I'll be doing almost daily posts covering them. But, before I go into my top 25, I'll be looking at 5 figures who narrowly missed out being on my list, plus a couple Honorable Mentions.  1. Jango Fett  A very good figure. I don't think he should have been a deluxe figure, but paint and flame accessories made him that. The only thing wrong with this figure were the bulky holsters. Aside from that, this is worth getting. He's a perfect Geonosis Jango. Definitely one of my favorite Prequel Era figures, and he's not alone on this list.  2. Rey (Episode 9) If you've read my blog, and my social media, you should know I cannot stand the Sequel Trilogy. In my opinion, it's a bad dream. But there are some good figures, and there are many that should get figures. That being said, Rey is an outstanding figure. A great likeness to Daisy Ridley, it's one of Hasbro's best face sculpts. She al...

 Originally, I wasn't going to do a post since today is Easter Sunday. But, with Celebration going on in Japan (I won't review any of the reveals, but I'm happy to get Merrin, Crosshair, Marshal Cobb Vanth and Darktrooper Gideon in the VC, as well as a new Bantha and Tusken Raider, and getting Dash Rendar in the Black Series is nice, too), a new Maul animated series that could make Darth Talon part of Disney Canon, and several movies which may or may not get delayed are in the works.  First, I've been delaying my review of The Ghost for a good reason: I'm rewatching Star Wars Rebels. I'm on the 4th season, and by now will likely have seen Jedi Night and hope that Kanan somehow survived but of course he doesn't. But I needed to see it again so I could get an idea on how and where to set some of the furniture up in the lounge/engineering area. And of course to get some ideas on setting up potential pictures. So it's coming, just not this week.  Next, I...

  Since I have more readers, thanks to being allowed to post in the comments section on BanthaSkull, I want to give back in a way to Chris and Nomad and do something special, but I also want to let others have a say. But how?! And when?! The when part was easy: after SWTVC March Madness. How? Well, that was the trick. When I first started my blog, I did a VC Top 25. I was new to blogging and admittedly it isn't my best work. I'm not much a tech guy either (it took me FOREVER to figure out how to do an online form. And livestream, I cant do because I lack home internet), but I've learned a few things on the way, and now can do a proper one. Besides, it's 2025, and it's time for an updated and definitive VC Top 25. So here was my original list done in 2022: 25. Dengar 24. Hoth Luke 23. Dr Aphra 22. Crait Luke 21. TIE Pilot 20. Rebel Fleet Trooper 19. Hoth Rebel Trooper 18. Rebel Endor Commando (both variants) 17. Dagobah Landing Luke 16. Aayla Secura 15. P...
