I’m very proud to announce a new Cardback section to the Variant Villains site. This project, nicknamed Kellerman V2, was made possible thanks to the outstanding efforts of Stephane Faucourt and Jeff Echtenkamp.
We now feature cardbacks from the Star Wars, Empire, Jedi, Trilogo, POTF, Meccano, Droids & Ewoks eras.
Lili Ledy from Ozio, and Top Toys/ Glasslite cardbacks from Walkie are also featured in this new section, plus the Boba Fett cardback guide from Narayan.. More character specific pages coming soon!

300 Chewbaccas later, VV has a brand new figure guide to see out 2022!
We’ve redrawn the whole COO map for Chewie and documented all the paint variations you’ll want to know about. PBP, Taiwan, Unitoy, Top Toys, Poch, Smile, Lili Ledy, Kader and Glasslite. Great knowledge drops about the bigfoot, green limbed figure and painted dot figures along the way

Princess Leia is so amazing, Team GS have dedicated 2 whole shows to her!
Jamie & Mark from VV discuss all things Leia figure related, while main interviews from David DeMarchis, Bruce White & Ron Salvatore cover an array of treasures including mis-cards, proofs, box flats and personal stories about meeting Carrie.

Hello there! Wolff and Tim have smashed together a new figure guide for the Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi figure.
There’s plenty of variations to sink your teeth into with this character. If you think you knew everything there was about old Ben, I urge you to take another look as there’s plenty of surprises!

New mould families! Updated info! Sticker revisions and Brian Angels sexy Red Bar cardbacks.
The newly released R2-D2 guides brought a greater understanding of the Astromech mould families, so Nick & Mark have put their heads together and updated the R5-D4 guide with this new knowledge.
