Final Round voting link ->. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7QGmpfovSPV6_5arOtCcX-4Gxzg4aHyWbNoaVKPS-G6Y_pQ/viewform

2023 - Luthen loses in the first round (in top 10, not in top 6)
2024 - Luthen loses in the third round (in top 4, not in final 2)
2025 - Luthen makes it to the final round (top 2)

Is this finally Luthen's year?

ps. Luthen is the ONLY character in the 2023 Top Ten that did not get a new figure yet (the others were Tonnikas, Hammerhead, ANH Ben, ANH Luke, Vanth, Baylan, Shin, Asajj, ROTS Anakin).

it's so dumb that we have to continually tell Hasbro "GIVE US THESE MAIN CHARACTERS FROM FILM/SHOW".  These fan polls used to be about drawing attention to "background weirdo #15" not main characters, but I forget that's where we are now in TVC.

So the final two is a showdown between "GIVE US THE MAIN CHARACTER" and "background weirdo #15".

Maybe it's a wasted vote, but my heart leans "background weirdo #15" in these cases.  If Arleil is in that unannounced Cantina 4-pack, I guess I'm wasting my vote, but I will always vote for a weirdo background alien from the OT over anything new.  Sorry/not sorry.

Don't give them any ideas...    Although...  would I buy a 4" scale Spider-Mandalorian or Iron-Mandalorian?  

From Steve Evans' Instagram - Emily is moving off the Star Wars team for another Hasbro gig

"I therefore want to take a beat to give a huge shoutout to Emily AKA @ms_mellon as she heads off to new adventures within Hasbro. Huge thanks to Em for all the passion, creativity, and design magic she’s brought to the Star Wars team — she’s helped make some truly special things happen in this galaxy"

"Chris @chris_reiff will take the reins and continue leading design with the same care and love that makes TVC so awesome."

I don't think I ever saw images of those, but I have a folder of unmade things that were shown... you don't happen to have photos of those two do you?  Might be a fun thread to start...

Here is the 2nd Utai guy (from RS SDCC coverage in 2009 I think) - should have been a running change like the TLC Ugnaught but never got released -



And the Funeral Pyre Vader goes back to 2009 as well - https://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19533.0

Hasbro showed it to some Fan Sites to ask what they thought but then it never got LFL approval as I understand it.

They did #1 in 2022, rereleased #1 in 2023; did #2 in 2024.

If they were doing a new one in 2025, I think we'd have heard about it already (early October like the other Holiday droid stuff).

It would not surprise me to see the 2024 one hit the parks again though...

I don't buy the 6" stuff, but these goofy holiday repaints do make me laugh/smile most of the time.

If they were making these in the 3.75" scale, I'm sure I would have bought a few of them to go along with all the goofy Disney holiday droid repaints.

Going up for pre-order today at 1pm ET...
