The Vintage Collection / Re: 2025 Last Figure Standing Poll
« on: November 9, 2025, 04:15 PM »
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.

I have managed to avoid buying anything from this Epic/Action lines.  I know some of the DLX/pack-in figures started getting knees and elbow joints, do all the basic figures have that too now?  Is that part of the price hike or is it all tariff/economics?

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

ActionVerse update from Yakface for those of you who may care.

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.

I think the Cantina HasLab missed tier definitely galvanized ANH-Cantina fanboys like me.  We saw a prototype then Hasbro said "nope, you can't have that", which never goes well with us.  There are still people out there who want that prototype Vader Funeral Pyre, second Utai Varactyl wrangler figure, etc.

Without that Tier 4 miss, the Cantina votes would likely be scattered across the many unmade aliens (Tzizvvt, Lutrillian, Baniss Keeg, etc) and wouldn't get enough support behind one guy in a poll like this.


a character who was effectively stricken from the Special Edition of ANH

Nit-pick - Arleil Schous is still in ANH, clearly visible to the left of Hem Dazon's head in the opening Cantina shot.

The other wolfman, Lak Sivrak, is the one who got replaced in the ANH SE. :)

Disney Parks Droid Factory / Re: 2025 Droid Factory Advent Calendar?
« on: October 31, 2025, 11:20 PM »
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 was curious, so looked back at last year - 2024 final 4
- Luthen Rael
- Asajj Ventress
- Qimir
- Arleil Schous

So, two of last year's top 4 got made in TVC and the other two (including last year's winner) are back in this year's top four.  That's consistency, I guess.

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.

Unless I missed it, the only SW reveal in Italy today was BS6" Valentine's Winged Pink Teddy Bear.
