Welcome. As you will see I am huge fan of the Star Wars The Vintage Collection line of action figures by Hasbro. I review all of the products as and when they are released but also review older action figures from previous lines. 3.75" Star Wars figures is my passion, and has been since I was a child growing up in the 1980s. Most of the content you will find will be about TVC and 3.75, including reviews, commentary, reveals and my Q&A series every Sunday.
Be sure to check out the channel membership. This channel is for Star Wars collectors and thus is not aimed at children, however I do avoid using bad language. So if you are Star Wars collector be sure to subscribe to my channel.

I personally just can *not* see Hasbro designing and tooling the molds for Wuher and the Tonnikas and then just scrapping the molds (simply to make the figures exclusive to the Cantina). It’s too much time and money invested when they know those figures would bring in profit. I believe they’ll figure out a way to release them. It just makes good business sense.
QFNW: What's your opinion on when to dive into the second hand loose market for the existing cantina patrons? Do you think it's worth holding out until Hasbro announces more figures and hope for better versions or should looking fo existing figures now at a more affordable price be a priority before things go completely out of hand? I'm not sure if the prices will get incrementally or massivelly higher for them now while the funded-buzz is still strong or once they're in people's hands in a year's time, or there's more of a steady increase as time goes on as I'm new to this situation. Is the Jabba's Skiff experience something to expect, whatever happened to those previously released figures? Would really appreciate your thoughts, thanks for your time and content.
Thanks BB for accepting my QFNW about the “Ring Of Death” issue. I’m hoping the more loud we get with Hasbro as a community the more it could lead to change and a final fix. It took years to get thicker card stock to combat the easy bending/creasing that took place on those older cards. Now these thicker card stocks are leading to ROD and ruined carded collections. I hope I’m not alone in this issue and others feel like us and are willing to return product to Hasbro/Pulse until they fix this once and for all. Thanks again and MTFBWY. 😁
Hello there, BB. Excellent video as always. QFNW. Why hasn’t Hasbro made any new versions of Jedi and Sith figures with retractable lightsabers for TVC? Sure they made Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader with retractable lightsabers for the retro collection, but that’s not enough. Thank you in advance.
If Star Wars didn't exist back in the day... well, I was pretty much done with it by '83. Then I was hardcore MOTU, Transformers and Super Powers. So yeah, not much would've really changed, lol. Prolly would've just got the olds to buy more of those lines. Legend of the Lone Ranger might actually be my fave...
Gonna have to go to places like Forbidden Planet and look for the best carded figures now, can't rely upon Hasbro sending you good quality ones in the post
Another super episode Bossk. The Stan Solo Garindan figure is very nice (and a lovely gift). I too am looking forward for the SDCC reveals, I think I saw somewhere that the timing is on the Friday at 10pm UK time?
Sorry Bossk I have to disagree with you on the Rebels Vader. His design is not only animated but it’s Ralph McQuarrie inspired. A Rebels Vader with the McQuarrie design would really stand out among the sea of Vaders. I am here for any figures that honor the concept artists who helped to mold Star Wars.
HI Bossk, great show! Do you think with the new Greedo ,we could get some new bounty hunters? Like those from the Vader bridge scene maybe or a multi pack of bounty hunters?? They could tweak the new IG-11 or repaint the IG-22 to give us a new IG-88? We need a new Dengar,Bossk,Zuckass and 4-Lom. What do you think??
Howdy Bossk! I hope you’re doing well and great video as always! QFNW: If you could pick any 3.75 vehicle from any line for Hasbro to rerelease in TVC, what vehicle would you pick and why?
Cobb Vanth might still be revealed at SDCC, and YakFace has teased on Instagram that he will be. As far as I can tell, Hasbro considers #ReturnToTatooine to ONLY cover A New Hope. So even though Tatooine appears in several other movies, shows, and more, any Tatooine figures from those sources are not considered part of the #ReturnToTatooine program. Doesn’t mean they won’t be released, but Hasbro considers them to be separate. I think… As for the Armorer, I hope they include her jetpack from season three. Soft goods would be nice, but I’d really like her jetpack so she can go with the upcoming season three Din Djarin and Bo-Katan, and don’t really want to buy yet another version of her outside this playset.
Hello BB, QFNW: Which character from the Cantina would you like to see an all new version of the most? Mine would be Bo Shek which also opens the opportunity for an all new Bossk figure.
Do mundi and then put out the clones that go with him. Clone wars make commander jet, geo special ops, arf geo and flame troopers geo. And then ROTS commander bacarra and galactic marines! Make a Jedi and give us all the clones they commanded. Easy money.
Hey, Bossk! Loooooong time fan of the channel and I've commented here and there over the years (perhaps to your annoyance?) Anyway, Question for Week After Next (I know you're busy....) While I love the new "sponsor" feature in the channel, might I make a polite suggestion: Maybe change it up so that the sponsor isn't exactly the same number of the videos. Because the way you're doing it ensures that the only figures that will be the sponsors are recent figures from the past few years. But it might be fun to take a deeper dive into the older years of the lines. So possibly as a suggestion, just keep the last digits of the video and then change up the beginning so we're not always in the 200s. So, say, if the video is 235, you could use VC35 or VC135 as your "sponsor", just to make things a little more interesting. Might be cool to revisit some of those older figures to see ones we forgot about or how the line as evolved over the years. Just a suggestion! Keep up the amazing content, I've been here since the beginning and I'll be here until the sun burns out or you stop making videos. Cheers!
Greetings Tim, QFNW and a follow-up to c0llect during the Episode 229 (great idea to bring the specific numbered figure): When visiting a hobby store to pick up an order for a Jada Toys Batmobile, I saw the Nano versions of the vehicles from The Batman (2022 film) by the same brand. It reminded me of the Kenner/Hasbro Microverse packs from 1996 tied to The Adventures of Batman & Robin (The Animated Series). That gives away my age range and what was my favorite thing at the time which I now respect to a different level as an adult. Aside from the Star Wars stuff, how is nostalgia impacting your collecting habits or when you see new toys or collectibles replicating or improving on the "good days" of childhood?
Hello BB If Hasbro came out with some bad news, to say, they were only making one more final wave of six figures after everything that has already been pipelined has been made and released, what final six TVC figures would you choose for Hasbro to make?
Awesome video as always! QFNW: Have you received any VC231 Stormtroopers with a yellowed stomach? Dealing with the constant Ring of Deaths and now I get yellowed stormtroopers.. where is the quality control from Hasbro? FYI the batch number of yellowed troopers is: 41211
I’m stuck in a rock and a hard place on whenever I should get this version or the ESB version. Admittedly, I like the paint apps on the BOBF version more, but part of me also really wants that accessory bit of Han Solo frozen in carbonite. 😅
Long been my most cherish cherished tvc figure,as i got him with my beloved late Mum. Ironically she'd always say my birthdate in her later year's , and it caught my eye just now the exact running time of this video is 9:21, my birthdate 😁🙌🏻🤜🏼🤛🏼
Hey Bossk, always love your show. QFNW, while I'm very excited that the HasLab Cantina funded and can't wait to add it to my collection, I can't help but be disappointed that we won't be getting an Arleil Schous figure (I know I'm not the only one). Do you think there is any chance that Hasbro might release this as a retail figure in the future? It would be a shame to never be able to add this character to our collective population of Cantina patrons. Great work, as always! Cheers, my friend!
Nice Professor Huyang, Zeb and TC-14 figures. Interesting Disney store May The Fourth Be With You key. Great Phase 2 Clone Trooper set. Wonderful 501st At-Rt w/Driver and Tactical Droid. I haven't seen that in a long while. Incredible Republic Fighter Tank.
Hello Bossk's Bounty, Marco from The Bronx, NYC USA, QFNW - What new figures would you like them to pipeline during SDCC, as there still a lot of characters from all the new Star Wars media, including Skeleton Crew, that can be made in TVC, for example Baylan, Shin, Praetorian guards from Mando S3, Luthen and Dedra from Andor, and Agent Kallus from Rebels? There is more but the ones mentioned I thought would have been done already.
My top five figures would be almost the same as your top five figures, with Jango Fett at number five as well, but my number four is Stormtrooper, and at number three is also Princess Leia Organa, while at number two is Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2), and my number one is again also Zeb from Rebels, I chose those ones because I have those one and Darth Vader for this year so far, I'm looking forward to getting Esra and Kannan soon, and later this year is Jabba The Hutt and I'm also getting myself the E-Wing Starfighter, which has a great looking droid😁😁😁😁
I loved Dooku, very long overdue. Can’t believe he took this long. I’d love one that has a Darth Tyranus name pill on ROTS card. He has been my favorite so far with probably Jango deluxe #2 but I think Dooku has the best card so far and Jengo from TVC 1 is one of my top 3 cards from the first release. Thanks again Tim, always love your insight and lives with TVC and Victoria. MYFBWY.
