I swear to god whoever designed these boxes hates me specially. I really like these boxes don’t get me wrong I mean, character art not a photo of the figure? The designs line up when the boxes are next to each other? They use minimal amounts of plastic? It’s creative but also serious and...

Oh wow! They look awesome. Plo could've looked really weird in lego but I think he looks alright!

Thanks mate... made the mistake of taking 'a quick look' in a close encounters shop over the weekend and left with the Lando double or nothing series (minus number 2 which I now have to hunt down) the next 2 volumes of Star Wars 2020, the books of magic and an indie horror that the worker swore...

Update. I have so far read: - TMNT Black, White and Green - TMNT X Usagi Yojimbo: Wherewhen - TMNT X Stranger Things - TMNT The Last Ronin: Lost Years - Star Wars 2020 Vols 1-3 + War of the Bounty Hunters - Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures vols 1-5 - Star Wars: Thrawn (which upon finishing I...

Vader is definitely iconic and his look is such a staple in the Star Wars franchise. It's just that to me the word aesthetic implies a sense of style or at least intention. While Vader's look is a very strong aesthetic, I think that Vader as a character isn't very aesthetic because he's sort of...

Huh! I'm not very familiar with Shadows of the Empire, I wonder why they didn't give Lando a figure? It's not like he's an obscure character and there wouldn't be a market for him??? What a weird choice

Been thinking about this recently. Went looking for Andor figures after finishing the show and realised there's no Syril Karn figure. With Andor being so well received, I'd say one will probably come along eventually, but it got me thinking of characters without figures, who'll likely never get...

There's something to be said for Thrawn too though

Oooo, you're right, so many good options. Boba Fett instantly comes to mind for me too, specifically this version from war of the bounty hunters: I mean the vibes are outstanding. Vader is iconic but I'm not sure the word 'aesthetic' really works for him. Really subjective I guess. Padme, Lando...

I really enjoyed the series when it felt like a side plot. It was really interesting to follow a character who was heavily impacted by the main galactic events but wasn't a part of them. This is one of the (many) reasons I just couldn't finish season three, not even out of malice, I just wasn't...

loved it as a setting. Luthen definitely felt like a historian with the way he talked about the rebellion. I've just read the start of SW (2020) and seeing the imperial museum after watching Andor got me thinking about how Luthen's shop feels so carefully curated while the empire's just got...

Oh definitely! Theres a blink and you'll miss it moment in season 2 where an artefact in Luthen's shop references the Mortis gods I'd look out for. Also all of the tech is very well done I thought

Glad you're enjoying it! Really is an amazing show!

I’m sorry to hear that! Yeah, when I sat down to properly watch new hope for the first time I remember thinking ‘wait they had CGI in the 70s?’ Before quickly realising (googling) it had been changed. I’ve got to wait to borrow my brother’s dvd player but hopefully I’ll get to watch it soon!
