Action Figures

Figure of the Day: Day 1,461

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Hey kids, it's ARF Trooper Boil!  Not many Clones get more than one figure, but this one did-- and just look at that detail!  Unique camo, a special tampo on his helmet, and great articulation make this one of the best figures you likely passed on late last year, because you are a bad person.  Read on!

Figure of the Day: Day 1,460

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Hey kids, it's Scorch!  The first-ever Republic Commando figure came out in 2006, in ancient history when figures didn't always have 14 points of articulation.  He was hot stuff-- want to see why?  Read on!

Figure of the Day: Day 1,459: The New Cad Bane

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, January 17, 2011

It's new!  This is the brand-new just-out Cad Bane which is an entirely new sculpt, but you'll probably jump on it because it also includes Todo 360. The figure is way better looking than both previous releases, and almost looks like a realistic movie figure.  Read on!

Figure of the Day: Day 1,458

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, January 15, 2011

While I posted the story yesterday, apparently it didn't get front paged!  Check out this Cloud City Wing Guard from 2009-- he's pretty swell!   And cheap.  Cheap is, of course, great as you'll want several.  Read on!

New Clone Wars Figures Revealed on the Sandtroopers Forums

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 13, 2011

Our pals at Sandtroopers.com have images of two packaged figures which, in turn, reveal several more new figures from upcoming The Clone Wars assortments.  Which, we're gambling, are going to be revealed officially in New York.  Just click here to see them all in their forums, and be delighted by a new Barriss Offee, El-Les, and Kmart exclusive Clone Captain Lock!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,457: Sila Kott (A-Wing Pilot)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 13, 2011

So I popped open my new Endor sets yesterday and then I did some research to see who these guys were-- because other than Grizz Frix, the figures like Sila Kott are supremely obscure. Heck, they didn't all have names just yet... and Sila's gender is up to discussion!  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,456

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, January 12, 2011

So much excitement!  Let's slow things down a bit with Plo Koon from 2002.  At first the figure was a little tough to get, but like most things, that didn't last forever.  Do you need this version in your collection?  Read on!

New Vintage Wave Leaked Early

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, January 12, 2011

 

Toy Fair is a fun time of year, and it looks like we get to open a few of our presents early.  A new wave of The Vintage Collection is known to us because a packaged sample of Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Pilot) has been making the rounds.   New figures include Lando Calrissian (General), Clone Trooper, AT-RT Driver, Fi-Ek Sirch, and a new Weequay.

Battle Over Endor Figure Packs Hitting US Toys "R" Us Stores Now

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, January 12, 2011

The two Battle Over Endor action figure packs are hitting Toys "R" Us as you read this-- each is $24.99, which is a really good value for 4 new figures these days.   Of note, my R5-P9 was packaged backward, with his dome spun around 180 degrees.  There's nothing wrong with the figure once you open it, but it's possible some (or all) may be sold this way.  Also, each package has a different Return of the Jedi-themed backdrop.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,455

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 11, 2011

Before he had a purple lightsaber, Mace Windu got a couple of figure releases including this little number with a big removable plastic cloak.  The figure had pretty decent articulation for his day, and a head sculpt that some prefer to the more recent figures.  What do you think?  Read on, and leave a comment!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,454

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, January 10, 2011

Here's a great one, it's Cato Parasitti! This bounty hunter has some great detail work, plus some lettering which... well, some of it I've translated correctly.  The rest?  Who knows.  It's a great figure, so read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,453

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, January 7, 2011

Today we look at another one of the Entertainment Earth exclusive comic pack figures with Baron Fel, which is a nicely modified 2007 Death Star Trooper.  He has a hat, a helmet, and a goatee-- all things that probably would have made the 2007 Baron Fel better.   Read on!

Revised Hasbro Vintage Yoda Cardback (and Jedi Luke) Revealed

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 6, 2011

The wonderful people at JediNews.co.uk have a picture of the front and back of the Yoda figure from The Vintage Collection Wave 5.  Originally slated for Wave 3 on a Return of the Jedi cardback, Hasbro has reworked the package to include a Revenge of the Sith logo and photograph-- and it definitely looks a lot cooler.  Click through for more!  And if you squint on the back

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,452

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 6, 2011

So far there's only one retail version of the diminutive Utai, a small reptile wrangler from the sinkholes of Utapau.  He's cute, ain't he?  The figure seemed to come and go quickly, and a prototype head variation never made it out. (But the future could reveal almost anything.)  Should you get this one?  Read on!
