Ad: Pre-Order 40th Anniversary Star Wars The Black Series Action Figures now! Get a Tusken Raider, C-3PO, a Jawa, a Death Star Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and Chewbacca in a case from Entertainment Earth.
Each 6-inch action figure is packaged on a vintage-inspired cardback with a foil logo in the top left corner, with three figures debuting in this wave! Don't miss out!
StarWars.com confirmed the winner of the recent fan poll for the next The Vintage Collection figure selected by fans is Marvel's Darth Vader sidekick, Doctor Aphra. To which I say, not a bad choice! Thank goodness it's a character we don't already all own as an action figure.
By now you probably already passed on Snap Wexley, but you can probably find him on sale somewhere with a Snowtrooper Officer on the cheap. He has a ridiculous grappling hook gun and a less ridiculous pistol, so check it out. Read on!
Ad: Pre-Order new Hasbro and Star Wars from Entertainment Earth! New Rogue One and Spider-Man goodies are up now. Lt. Sefla, Galen Erso, Admiral Raddus, and a 12-inch Marvel Legends Deadpool can be yours. You don't want to miss these, so click here to pre-order yours now!
You probably will never see this "value" First Order Stormtrooper, at least not in its original packaging. It was sold in Mexico and Australia. The simplified 6-inch tall figure has 4 joints and looks cool on a shelf next to your other figures... but it's not a The Black Series figure. Read on!
The StarWars.com voting for the Fan Choice poll is up now! Interestingly, Ben Skywalker did not make the cut, and Emperor Palpatine - who got 0 votes here and I don't believe I saw on anyone else's top 6 - did. Well, at press time Doctor Aphra (Marvel) and Ahoka (Rebels) are tied for the lead, so click here to vote for them or not! If history is any indication, a close vote usually means we get both figures.
Here's another one you probably don't have - this Darth Maul I've seen only a couple of times, and mostly at Big Lots! so far. But they're not doing a lot of restocking here, so the 6-inch $6 figure is something you may want to chase down. Why? Read on!
We got a lot of entries, a lot of possible ballot stuffing, and a lot of definitive ballot stuffing for the 2017 Fan Vote. As stated, we weren't going to take duplicate entries from the same person - and in some cases it was difficult to tell if the entries were part of an organized effort or the same individual, so we left it in for now. So who were the winners? I'm glad you asked.
The Imperial AT-ACT Driver is pretty cool - and at least locally, Hasbro shipped a bunch of this exclusive to Target stores. I'm still seeing them this week! It's basically the same as the Scarif Stormtrooper with new deco, but to me that's a pretty valid reason to buy a figure.
Because sleeping is for the weak, we're now tallying our winners for Fan's Choice right now. We won't be revealing it today, but you can probably guess who's in the lead if you look at our comments on the original post.
More as we have it - the second round of voting is going to start real soon, too!
This 6-inch Darth Vader comes with a cool display base and as such, costs more than an average figure. It's nifty! Hasbro included details on the helmet you don't normally see on their Darth Vader toys. Read on!
And if that weren't enough, surprising no one, Hasbro will make good use of its Imperial Officer body types to bring you Grand Mofff Tarkin later this year. It will include the Interrogation Droid, and look menacing.
If you're enjoying stomping the pavement to find R5-D4 at GameStops this weekend, good news - you can do it again in November! For a couple of bucks north of $20, the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot variatnt Inferno Squadron Pilot should be up for grabs in November. It's like the TIE Fighter Pilot you have but with more red.
Last year at San Diego Comic-Con, Hasbro confirmed the winner of the Fan's Choice vote for the 6-inch The Black Series line - and it was Jaina Solo! She was in most of the novels since 1991 in some form or another. And that Jaina Solo had a massive, not remotely suspicious last-minute massive vote bot of sorts. Well. Anyway, we're getting her and here she is in a black pilot's suit. The Star Wars character was retconned out of the continuity with the Disney takeover, so don't be totally shocked if this happens again this year.
