2020 was a year where I bought more Black Series than ever before. I found that interesting because I prefer TVC over The BS series. I had to stop and think why did I increase my BS purchases last year. Here are my top three reasons-
1- The Mandalorian. I really like the main character and other figures from the TV series. The I enjoy seeing The Mandalorian in this scale.
2- The Vintage Card Backs. I love the TVC packaging, always have always will. So it stands to reason that when Hasbro released The Black Series on vintage card backs, it sucked me in.
3- Different Characters that look cool to own in the 6 inch scale. Zeb Orrelios is a perfect example of coolness in the Black Series. This is a rather large, bulky figure that just looks really cool to me. His facial features really stick out. He reminds me the Gamorrean Guard. I also like several of the Gaming Greats figures, even if they are re-paints. Two of my favorites that I just had to get were the Stormtrooper Commander and Shadow Stormtrooper. Then looking at the SW Galazxy's Edge, there is the Mountain Trooper which I really like, included his weathered, dirty appearance.
here are my 2020 Black Series purchases listed in order of favorites.

For 2021, I want to get some of The Mandalorian figures like The Remnant stormtrooper and I hope that we get more 40th Anniversary figures with the nice vintage card backs. It would be nice to also see the Gaming Greats line continue as I feel it gives collectors another reason to look at the Star Wars 6 inch line.
