TVC Jedi Spirits Review

Image
  In case you didn't know, from a toy perspective, Return of the Jedi is my favorite Star Wars movie. I have more ROTJ figures than I do from the other OT movies, and Prequel figures, possibly combined. For many years, the only way to get a 3.75 inch version of the Jedi Spirits was the POTF2 Cinema Scene 3 pack, which were basically statues since there weren't any articulation points on those figures. Hasbro has made several Force Ghost versions of Obi-Wan and Anakin, but Yoda had been left out. If there was one, I didn't have it. I passed on the previous Force Ghost Obi-Wan from the OTC wave a couple months ago at a used toy shop. Photographing the box was difficult since Hasbro chose to use a ghostly color scheme, and those were the best pictures I could get. Overall, I'm happy to get this set. But I am disappointed in one of these figures. I'll tell you why in the individual figure reviews.  OBI-WAN (BEN) KENOBI Obi-Wan or old Ben, is not a bad figure. But, I had...

NYCC Wrap Up; Price Increases & Star Wars At 50

 After a week of taking a break from social media, a week I spent drinking heavily, and assisting many single mothers who work at gentleman's clubs buy baby formula and diapers...I have returned! And if you believe I did all that, I have beachfront property in North Arkansas I'd like to sell you... My medical procedure was painful (0/10, would NOT recommend), but good news, no surgery needed for now, and no more medications partially because I'm tired of them not working, and given my situation I don't need any now. Plus it is the heart of football season, and I'd like to be able to have at least 1 drink. So, for now, I'm okay. Hopefully my new therapy routine will help alleviate some of the issues I've had. Not out of the woods yet, but hopefully I can avoid going under the knife. And I want to thank everyone who prayed for me, and wished me well. So, thank you! And to Chris and Nomad at BanthaSkull: I've prayed for both of you on what y'all have be...

Agent Kallus VC Figure Review

Image
  I'm going to admit something before I begin my review: I had absolutely low expectations for this figure. Kallus borrows his buck from the Rebels Thrawn VC figure, and since Kallus gets into a lot of action in Rebels when he was loyal to the Empire, I wasn't certain he could get into any action poses. Needless to say, I was wrong. Completely wrong. And since I was pleasantly surprised, and I need to be in a positive mood (details at the end of the post), I decided to go with my review of Agent Kallus, making his VC debut. And his first figure since 2014, and Sixers don't even have a Kallus yet. Ha! VC gets a win! Another note, today is the 63rd anniversary of the release of Dr No, the first James Bond Film, and today's review is a happy coincidence, as today's figure review is of an agent. More on 007 at the end of this article.  As I mentioned, Kallus shares the same buck as Rebels Thrawn, but with additional chest armor sculpted onto the upper body. The sculpt i...
