Hey, CHU!
DrunkWooky here after having sold almost his entire non-Star Wars comic collection. That’s right, all my keys, Hulk 181, Fantastic Four 48, 49, and 50, Amazing Spider-Man 252, 298, 299, 300, all gone to better homes in the name of Jedi-like zen minimalism of my collection.
But enough about me and my collection. On to what I know best–Star Wars!
Last week was May Fourth! The consummate Star Wars fan holiday began as a pithy play on words “May the Fourth be with You!” and quickly became co-opted by every t-shirt screen printer and local morning news show across the planet. I expected big Star Wars news, such as a new teaser trailer, to be released, however, the news was light.
ToyBoxOne already reported the Snokey invoice lists for forthcoming black series figures back on 5/8/17.
What did happen is that StarWars.com held a vote (hooray ACTUAL democracy) on which character would join the next 3.75″ scale Vintage Series Action Figure Line. To Kieron Gillen, Salvador Larocca, and John Tyler Christopher’s glee, Doctor Aphra was a candidate!
Bleeding Cool reported on the poll on 04/28/2017.
I attempted to get Gillen’s attention
Vote Aphra for President…er…3.75″ action figure! @johntylerchris #starwars #doctoraphra #marvel #lucasfilm #disney #MayThe4thBeWithYou https://t.co/vZo4BemWuD

Gillen was triumphant:

Long-story-short, we get a Doctor Aphra in 3.75″ plastic!
In other news that is now old, but developing, Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli will be bringing us Marvel’s second Darth Vader series on June 07, 2017. Ogle the awesome variants that have come out of the wood-work recently (along with a short preview)
Regular Cheung Cover Granov Variant
Movie Variant JTC Action Figure Variant
And an Awesome Noto Variant!
As you can see, we pick up with ole’ dark, quiet, and wheezy during his moody quarter-life crisis period.
Looks, impressive, most impressive.
Until, later, stay rebellious, Star Dust!
I cant wait to see what the Aphra action figure will look like. Looks like Doctor Aphra is well on her way to stardom!
Good lookin’ out, Sir! Gotta have that Granov AND Noto cover!
I would of loved to buy your ASM 300 if it was a 9.6 or better lol.
NM for Wookies is very different for NM for humans. Patches of fur stuck the the cover is allowed for wookies.

My NMs all have asterisks. The asterisk means “was hung from a tree limb by its staple.” But in all seriousness, Jesus, a very lucky Buyer bought a huge venom lot off of me. The lot had ASM 252, 298, 299, 300, 344, 361, anti-venom appearances, etc., etc. Instant collection.
Instant cash too.
