Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,433

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, December 10, 2010

That's right, you heard right-- another Clone Trooper, this time a Target-specific version with a unique design on only one shoulder.  I'm assuming it's a different rank or something.  Are they any good?  You get two in a box, so read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,432

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 9, 2010

He was in the original Star Wars in the background, and now he gets to talk and be annoyed by Anakin Skywalker.  Admiral Yularen was a slow seller in 2009, but now he's gone and you can't have one.  Too bad.  Should you be upset?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,431

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 8, 2010

Hey kids, it's the 7th Legion Clone Trooper!  Based on a concept armor, this spotted clone has a removable helmet (which was a novelty on  basic carded figures in 2007) and a lot of articulation.  How many does your army need?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,430

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 7, 2010

Hey, do you know what's awesome?  Anakin Skywalker in his space suit.   It's a super-articulated figure with a fish bowl.  This is awesome-- seriously, it's fantastic and goofy and I love it.  You should own one.  Read on.

VC13 Consumed by Darth Vader

By Mike — Monday, December 6, 2010

As Hasbro promised, the name tab, cardback, and POP for VC13, formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, is now appropriately called Darth Vader per his transformation and appearance in Mustafar. Of course, you now have two The Vintage Collection "Darth Vaders" on the pegs, the other being VC08, but that shouldn't confuse anyone, right?

 

VC15 Clone Variant/Correction

By Mike — Monday, December 6, 2010

Hasbro corrected the paint error on VC15 Clone Trooper's helmet with the appropriate line around the cap. This particular sample was found at a Target store in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,429

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, December 6, 2010

Offered before many of you were born, Rocket Firing Boba Fett is something of a holy grail, a legend not just in Star Wars, but in the world of toy collecting in general.  The 2010 mail-in version has been changed significantly from the original design, meaning nobody should be able to pass this off as an original.  Is this a pro, or a con?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,428

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, December 3, 2010

Hasbro sure likes to make barely-different troopers, like this Scout Trooper from 2007. Hasbro put out a big exclusive boxed set at Target and painted each Biker Scout differently-- just to keep you busy.  (Or to make your dioramas better, perhaps.) Either way, how is it? Excellent. Read on, dudes!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,427

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 2, 2010

It's the first-ever modern-era Wicket which, at nearly 12 years old, is a lot less modern.  This was one of the first two modern Ewoks, setting the bar for the slow drip to follow for the next few years.  He was just upgraded, but how does the original stack up?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,426

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, December 1, 2010

Ever since 21 used the name of Count Dooku as a euphemism for an act in the bathroom, fans have wondered if we'll get a better version of the figure.  OK, that's not at all true, but this is indeed a better version of Christopher Lee.  Should you run out and buy him at Target right now?  Read on!
