Another year gone by, more figures moved into collections. It's time to take a look back at 2022 and share what figures stood out this year in your collection.
Considering the way figures make it into collections these days what with the long waits for pre orders to be produced, the current "batch" method of production that gets them out to collectors in a staggered (and often frustrating) fashion, just consider what you personally were able to get this last year into your collection. For many of us, that means that several of the recent releases will probably end up on next year's list.
Let's try to keep this thread's lists SW-centric....if your acquisitions over this year ventured into other licenses or franchises, check those threads out and start a BEST OF 2022 there.
Now let's have some fun looking back....
I did not get a lot this year as many of the figures I preordered still have yet to be produced or I canceled them after seeing in-hand shots and viewing many of the reviews that pop up from the regular cast of characters on YouTube. So, here goes. (It definitely was the year of Fett for me)
ONE: Boba Fett 2-Pack
I took more photos of this figure over the last year than any other. It is so striking and just tells a story be looking at it. It's become on of my all-time favorites on display.
...and the figure of Fett in his Tusken Robes is equally amazing. His reintroduction in those episodes of "The Mandalorian" just fired on all cylinders and produced two really great figures.
TWO: Boba Fett Repaint Armor on Throne
Coming on the heels of that great return was this ultimate tease. While the eventual series may have been lacking, the design and presentation made for a really cool display.
THREE Remnant Biker Scout on Speeder Bike
This set just really worked for me. The Biker figure is so well rendered with that perfect "man in a suit" vibe and the white bike just pops on display and in photos.
FOUR Imperial Biker Scout
As mentioned above, HT really nailed the "man in a suit" look with both these Biker Scouts. The bike is cool two, but this trooper displays so well on it's own.
FIVE Rogue Leader Luke Skywalker
I was glad to be able to pick up this version of Luke after missing out on the Sideshow one all those years ago. It's a good figure, and now that winter has finally created some Hoth-like conditions around here, more photos of this one will be coming soon.
