The Vintage Collection March Madness 2024

1/4/2024 The Vintage Collection

It’s that time again! The @SWTVC team is thrilled to bring back The Vintage Collection March Madness for its fourth annual tournament, where we seek to find out collectors’ most-wanted all-new 3.75" Star Wars figures via an elimination bracket.

We start every January by asking collectors to rank their top 25 most-wanted all-new TVC figures. In 2023, we received over 670 unique lists consisting of 1,539 different characters, all competing for a spot on the bracket and in the line. Then in March, the top 64 characters go head-to-head as fans debate their priorities. During this process, we’ll take a look at how the characters have performed in previous March Madness tournaments and the recent Last Figure Standing.

This is an entirely fan-run project that has no official bearing on what gets made in the line, but Hasbro brand team members have mentioned many times that they follow the tournament. Whether by coincidence or by design, out of the 98 unique characters that have appeared on the bracket across the first three years of the tournament, 42 of them have been made—including tournament champions Bo-Katan Kryze, Krrsantan, and Count Dooku.

The @SWTVC team is thrilled to bring back The Vintage Collection March Madness for its fourth annual tournament! Now is your chance to help shape this year’s bracket by submitting up to 25 of your most-wanted TVC figures.

!!Please follow these guidelines!!

1. Submit your list AT THE LINK. Feel free to share your lists in comments and on social media, but you have to submit via the form to have your choices counted this year.

2. Rank your choices IN ORDER, with your most-wanted at #1.

3. BE SPECIFIC. If the character has multiple looks, please specify the outfit, scene, and/or media property they are from.

4. ONE CHARACTER PER SLOT. Do not list multiple characters on a single line, such as “the Bad Batch.” The only exceptions to this rule are:

- Tonnika sisters. They will be combined, so if you want both Brea and Senni, just use one line that says “Tonnika sisters.”

- Two Tubes. They will be combined, so if you want both Edrio and Benthic, just use one line that says “Two Tubes.”

5. Focus on NEW TOOLING. This is about new figures—not repacks, repaints, or partially tooled figures.

You have from now until 11:59 pm ET on Wednesday, January 31 to submit your list. Be sure to spread the word!

TVC March Madness is brought to you by @SWTVC and sponsored by our friends in the community.

Please note: this is just for fun, to see where fans’ priorities are with The Vintage Collection. This is not officially involved with Hasbro or Lucasfilm in any way. As always, thanks for helping #keep375alive and may the Force be with you!
