My personal Top 10 of the year. Ahsoka (Clone Wars) Darth Malak Luke Skywalker (Mandalorian) Bastilla Shan Mara Jade Arc Trooper Fives Commander Appo/ 501st Trooper Starkiller Ezra (Lothal) Professor Huyang Lots of amazing figures this year I just find it staggering to be honest like there are so many that in any other year would make the cut but just can’t due to how stacked the year is.
I picked up my second Endor Rebel Commando figure on sale for $25 from Entertainment Earth. Battle Damaged Vader is an amazing figure. Malgus looks incredible and I never played that game either. I'm still waiting for my new R2-D2 figure and Jedi Vader.
Nice list, R2D2 is definitely my favorite - 2023 was my first year collecting and I sure hit the jackpot with both the amount and quality of figures released. Now I’m spoiled, it’ll be like this every year, right? Side note, love the chill outtro music and groovy waves 😎
hi Lukenessmost I my a tvc collector . I have a question for you. Next time your on interview with Hasbro, could you Please ask them do 2 versions of the same action figure. One without the thigh-swivel on Haslab.@@Lukenessmonster
Nice top 10,off the top of my head I would say, 1, vader duels end 2, maul (gaming greats) 3,malak 4,malgus 5,dok ondar 6,hera 7,bastilla shan 8,kkrisatan 9,ashoka padawan 10, R2 & I have about 10 or more honourable mentions, so my top ten might change each day😆😆😆😆, keep up the good work👍👍👍👍
I love your reviews and how detailed they are and I think you're a pretty cool dude. But I just got drunk off this video! Lol I played a drinking game where I took a drink every time you said the word "incredible!"😂😂
Appo would appear somewhere near my Top 10 if his blue color matched any existing 501st, but since it doesn’t, he's on the Poor QC Top 10 of 2023 instead!
Tech is "controversial"? This was such a redemption figure, it deserves to be on this list. Happy to see some BB love. The RoTJ Luke doesn't even ship from EE until January 2024, so that's fun.
@@Lukenessmonstercorrect, my pre-order arrived a while back from the first batch, however they shipped it in a box too small so the card was trashed. Since I have the Mando Luke out of box I wanted to keep it on card, so I sent it back and they just refunded me citing they had no more stock and will charge me once the restock arrives. Hoping for better results for “round 2.” Not the first time EE has let me down sadly.
It really shows how great the Black Series is doing, that none of your Top 5 from halfway through the year made the final Top 10! The only major gap in the list for me is Darth Malak. Just like Malgus, you don’t need to be a KotOR fan to appreciate an incredible Sith Lord figure. His articulation is next level good, the soft-goods half cape, and an insanely great head sculpt and face print under a removable mask! It’s just a pity that Malgus released so quickly after Malak, also an indisputably great figure, and such a similar kind of figure that it totally overshadowed it, and I feel Malak deserved more time in the light!
Something I've been putting together for me I also collect Mcfarlane DC figures as well as AEW unrivaled figures and cutting them down to a too ten with the black series figures has been tough.
I've been trying to buy duels end vader since it came out and had absolutely no luck! Every attempt on ebay I keep receiving the standard vader and have to put tickets against sellers who are using duels end figures in the name and photos! Now I just don't trust anyone on ebay and will probably never get that figure 😂
I have like the exact same opinion for the Rebel Endor Commando guy. The $33.99 price is just way too high. Also, I just ordered the ROTJ Luke. I’m really excited to get him in.
Honestly, very solid list! Mine are as follows 10) Darth Malak 9) Jedi Spirit 3-pack 8) Jedi cruiser Luke 7) cal Kestis 6) rotj Vader 5) darth malak 4) old master darth maul 3) duels end Vader 2) star killer 1) appo Appo is probably my all time favorite black series figure to the point of me army building 6 of them 😅😅 I’ll be doing the same with the phase 2 clones
I don’t collect TBS but once in a while, there’s that “winner” and R2-D2 is that one for me. A perfect desk companion and a redemption story after being all wrong for all of these years. Some stuff that is difficult to manage with it but it still is a great release overall. The best Artoo outside of imports. And having watched the podcast with Sydequests, I understand your reasoning on RotJ Vader being on your turkey list. However, I would call it a bland shrimp: I love shrimps… I love Vader. But the execution of TBS Vader is just all over the place: the tunic that is poorly tucked-in, the awful legs, the lack of paint on some of the smaller details of the chest box that ESB got right three years ago… and yes, that flawed design of his helmet that I did manage to put on. The amount of effort to put it on shouldn’t be required.
My personal top 10 1. All three Luke’s I know that’s cheating 2. Vader duels end 3. Obi wan jabiim and Jedi legend 4. Malgus 5. Fives 6. Appo/clone trooper 7. Ahsoka padawan 8. Force spirit 3 pack 9. Cad bane and Cobb vanth 10. Old master maul 11-15 11. Ezra 12. Sabine 13. Scotch / commando 14. Qui gon spirits 15. Jesse
Absolutely the rebel trooper isn't one of the best, even 'honorable mention ' it's an American tragedy that hascrap puts out an army builder, at this price! No cloth goods, its a crappy chunk of plastic, not even close to a g I joe classified in the sense of engineering, accessories, price, availability. 😂

Ahsoka (Clone Wars)
Darth Malak
Luke Skywalker (Mandalorian)
Bastilla Shan

Lots of amazing figures this year I just find it staggering to be honest like there are so many that in any other year would make the cut but just can’t due to how stacked the year is.
Loving this new style of video, dude! Great job!
I picked up my second Endor Rebel Commando figure on sale for $25 from Entertainment Earth. Battle Damaged Vader is an amazing figure. Malgus looks incredible and I never played that game either. I'm still waiting for my new R2-D2 figure and Jedi Vader.
I still say hasbro needs to sell accessories seperately in sets of 12.
I love your content kiddo! Keep up the great work. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Nice list, R2D2 is definitely my favorite - 2023 was my first year collecting and I sure hit the jackpot with both the amount and quality of figures released. Now I’m spoiled, it’ll be like this every year, right? Side note, love the chill outtro music and groovy waves 😎
Thanks! I worked hard on it!

I always deliver for a fun Wednesday afternoon 😂
Great list! I am torn on how I would even put a list together for this year, there are just so many options -Tommy

That’s EEs Restock of the figure, the first batch already shipped I believe

My #1 is the great Darth Malgus!! Black Krisatan is probably my #2. There was a lot of nice ones this year.

I love the Darth Vader figure
Some good choices! Nice list!
The Mando Ahsoka figure is absolutely one of the best out this year.
Malgus/Wicket/Darth Vader Duel’s End/Black K/Dak Ondor/R2D2/Rebel Commando Price Be Damned/Starkiller/Phase 2 Clone Trooper/Luke 40th Anniversary
I had to put jabba on mine. I have been waiting for him forever lol

Appo is probably my all time favorite black series figure to the point of me army building 6 of them 😅😅
I’ll be doing the same with the phase 2 clones
Mara Jade is my favorite figure of 2023
I don’t collect TBS but once in a while, there’s that “winner” and R2-D2 is that one for me. A perfect desk companion and a redemption story after being all wrong for all of these years.

Bro didn’t put fives on the list
💀
I really wanted to, he just kinda sucks 😂
Basic ass figure
@@Lukenessmonsterman he’s your number one most wanted figure!? 😭You could’ve at least put him instead of Malgus since you don’t actually have him.
What no fives 🤯. Thought for sure it would make your list 🤦🏻♂️. Great list anyways 👍🏻. I’ll put fives on my list for you 😉
Yeah I’m beyond confused by that. It’s his number one most wanted figure of all time!?!!? Like what?! 😅
Cut your hair or I will. Nice list
