Happy New Year!

The last few years I've POed a figure every NY. This time nothing jumped out at me. Out of habit I was planning to go with either AOTC Anakin or NWH Spider-Holland, but I changed my mind. We'll get another Spider-Holland with surely the same suit in Spider-Holland 4. 2023 has the Sony game's sequel and I'm rooting for a SpOck suit. Tobey will probably come back in Secret Wars. So there's really no need to jump on it now; my Spider-MegaFan days are behind me and I need just a basic representation. AOTC Anakin was a more difficult choice. I'm a (mostly) a one-figure-per character person, so I wasn't planning displays based on specific moments and films. I wanted a PT Jedi set-up, a Republic set-up, an Empire set-up, etc. But I did like the idea of having all the stages of Anakin in succession. Lil'Ani which'd never happen, then Padawan, then Knight and finally Vader. So Padawan Ani would be the first of such a display. But that'd mean needing to buy an extra Vader and an extra ROTS Anakin, which became too expensive for such a display. Half the figures would be obscured anyhow, due to the figure in the front. It works in theory, but in reality it'd come off kinda silly I think. So I'm without a dolly PO for the first time in years. Maybe I'll get an Omni or PO some JoyToy 40K Spesh Maureens. Well, it's good to shake things up once in a while.

Anyway, Happy New Year to all, and let's hope 2023 brings us even more dolls! I want my Geriatric Man In Plastic Hoverchair, dammit!
