Was he in the movie? Well, he was in a few novels, so Hasbro managed to sneak out Roan Shryne as an action figure in the just-released Toys R Us exclusive Gunship packs. You'll probably want to snag it if you're a book fan, and if not, well, it's still movie-ish enough for my liking. Read on!
Lady Jedi toys are uncommon, so Sarissa Jeng is pretty exciting to see. Her legs are recycled, but the rest of her seems new despite being similar to Ki-Adi-Mundi. The actress in stills looks quite cute - how is the figure? Read on!
I assume people must really love Sephjet Josall, because I saw someone swap out the figure for a Qui-Gon at a Toys R Us this afternoon. (May an elephant sit upon your house.) Based on a background extra in Attack of the Clones, this is a Luke figure with a new "skirt" and a new head - and it works! Nicely done. Read on!
Now here's one you'll like. Pablo-Jill was released a few years ago with an excellent statue of a figure - gorgeous - but this new one is way more articulated, with the best wrists I've seen on any Jedi figure to date. Actual ball-and-socket wrists make this completely articulated figure streets ahead of the competition, easily making it the best prequel Jedi of the season. Read on!

Hasbro did a new take on the 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper, and it's not really an improvement. Several paint applications are missing, and it's best if you take this as a new squad rather than an update of the existing one. Read on!

I just got 6-inch wave 2 in the mail, but I already wrote Luminara Unduli up from The Black Series! So read that. She's a new sculpt with a removable hat, good deco, and an excellent sculpt, if you can get beyond the fact that your 2005 figure was probably fine. Anyway. Read on!
New! Mara Jade is shipping now - she's in stock at Entertainment Earth as I write this. The body sculpt and articulation are top-notch, with great accessories. But the hair? Well, read all about it in Figure of the Day.
