This is probably my favorite figure of 2023, if only because I actually found him in stores!

Mads Mikkelsen(Rogue One & Indiana Jones) 🎬 LOVED his villainy in Casino Royale - 007.

A Lars Mikkelsen Thrawn is a virtual certainty, so we just need to have patience! I personally like that we’ll likely have two different options for a head portrait. - Tyler

Indeed man... but just imagine the figure featured here.... on an EXPANDED UNIVERSE card back! 🥰👌🏼 It's a crying shame it wasn't.

During the height of The Galactic Empire, Thrawn was a vice admiral. He was not promoted because the empire was speciesist and preferred humans instead of aliens. After the battle of Endor Thrawn self appointed himself to grand admiral to lead The Imperial remnants.

Sorry that’s not accurate. Watch the cutscene from the 90’s TIE Fighter video game. He was promoted by Palpatine personally, in both legends and canon.

@@SWTVC I think you are probably correct. If I can recall right, in the first Heir to The empire trilogy written by Timothy Zahn, his promotion story conflicted with the game. Yet, I have not played Tie Fighter or read those books in at least 25 years. Lol

I really like this figure because it’s my first Thrawn. I’m with you, I wish they made a version from the show on an Ahsoka card. Great review!!!👍🏻

Wish this figure would have been on an Heir To The Empire cardback. Otherwise it's a fantastic figure.

Yeah man, that would've been totally cool!! OR an Expanded Universe card. Forgot to even mention that!!! Hahaha

Nick: look for Hasbro to put out a Thrawn from Ahsoka in 2024. New head. Maybe a few tweaks to the deco and boom. You’ve got a different figure for the Ahsoka series. Meanwhile, they wanted this guy out close to the Ahsoka show. And this guy will go with the rebels figures coming out next year to go w the Ghost. Totally agree: need a new Tarkin big time!

exactly. For once they are actually attempting to balance the scales, like black series which has its Rebels figures AND its Ahsoka series figures.

Well done! I always enjoy your reviews!

I appreciate that my friend and thank you! 🙏

Agree with your review. Putting this version of Thrawn next to the beautiful Morgan Ellsbeth figure ruins the entire diorama scene. Here’s hoping we do get a Lars version. And man, can’t wait for your “Hasbruh…….” rant video!

Great review as always. Honestly, I really love the look they went for with this figure.. when I think of Thrawn, this is what I imagine! Nothing against the depiction of him in Ahsoka necessarily, I’ve no doubt we will get that look in TVC soon.. but if that was all they had given us, I would have been disappointed.

I have the rebels line grand admiral thrawn tricky to stand up I don't have the VC grand admiral thrawn as yet . Part of next year figures buying.

If you're looking for a camera, I have a suggestion, the Olympus E-M5 Mark 3. If you want to see what the picture quality is like, my Star Wars Hot toys collection video used that camera, I used a 25mm prime lens and continuous auto focus. Great video as always! 👍🏼

Hehe no worries! And it's funny isn't it, how I refer to it as a camera, when it's really a phone! 😆🙃 That's the cool thing about them, they're a camera, video player, sound recorder, editor, computer, studio, the list goes on!!! Hahaha 👍🏻 😂

I'll wait until I get a Lars Thrawn.

Would’ve been better on Ahsoka card with face match technique with Lars Michelson and then bring out a Thrawn on Rebels card when they bring out the cards for the Ghost

You will get a Lars Mikkelsen portrait on an ahsoka card. To help clarify, consider the Hera figure coming with the Ghost. She is not based on the actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead from Ahsoka. She is based on a realistic interpretation of the animated character. That figure will be paired with this Thrawn along with the yet to be revealed Sabine and chopper, based on realistic interpretations of their Rebels appearances. The Chopper that was just released on the Ahsoka series card, along with the Ahsoka series Hera and Sabine go together with the eventual Lars Mikkelsen Thrawn. Hasbro did something pretty cool. They are releasing: The Rebels characters FROM Rebels and The Rebels characters from Ahsoka. Hope this helps clarify what they are intending. Great review btw

Makes perfect sense!

This one was my most anticipated figure of the year, but the animated card with the realistic sculpt does ruin the idea of keeping it on card. I may pass on it entirely and just keep my animated Rebels Thrawn front and center in the collection until Lars shows up. Cheers! Happy New Year!

Why do Hasbro insist on putting that bloody black code on the inside of the leg. It stands out.....absolutely ridiculous. Its not the first time they have done this on, its practically every figure. Do you think they will do another Thrawn looking like Lars Mikkelsen on an Ahsoka card back?
