Hard-To-Find UK Version of Silver R2-D2 On eBay Cheap

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 21, 2011

There are two Silver R2-D2 figures.  One was a vac-metal sold carded based on the 2000 Power of the Jedi figure mold.  The second was a Saga Collection figure in a UK-only boxed set with a matte finishe, based on the Vintage 2004 mold.  The set was pretty tough to get in the USA... but now you don't need to get it.

He's green now! The second attempt on R2-X2 seems to be the "official" one thanks to some bunghole suggesting the 2006 release be black. Ah well. Whose fault do you think that was? I sure don't know.  Anyway, read on!

Welcome to day 1,700 of Adam Held Hostage with Lumiya, a figure I assumed would never, ever see plastic.  I'm thrilled she exists, but did the Marvel villain turn out acceptably?  Read on!

From 1999, or "thousands of years ago," this Darth Maul had saber-swinging action before it was cool.  Or retro.  Or whatever.  Is it worth picking up, now that it's super-cheap?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,697

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 15, 2011

I love Jawa figures.  For a while, Hasbro put out a new one almost every year-- this has since stopped, but it was a nice run to see new takes on the little guys with a companion droid.  This was the last one so far-- how was he?  Read on!

Behold, the very first and very angry Barriss Offee!  Portrayed on TV as a younger hero-in-training, the first Hasbro action figure is a stylized, seemingly fully adult woman.  Is this 2003 release worth a look?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,695

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,693

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, December 9, 2011

It's Ten Numb!  He's taller than necessary, but he's got the white suit as seen in that one famous photograph.  He might even still be at Toys R Us, three years after his release. Is he worth it? Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 7, 2011

Here's the second Savage Opress figure... and for the time being, I'm guessing, the last one until he gets new clothes.  It's good-- cloth bits, lightsaber, the works.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,690

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Walmart Exclusive Clone Wars Vehicles Arrive, Canceled Toys On Packaging

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, December 2, 2011

They were originally slated to hit in August, but Wal-Mart's exclusive pair of mini vehicles hit stores this week. Our pal MeisterShake on Twitter gave me the tip, and I checked two local Wal-Marts and sure enough, they were both stocked with the vehicles at just under $17 each. (Oh, and they have shots of canceled toys on the boxes.)
