What's red and white and blue all over? The BB-Series Droid (BB-9-style droid head, BB-8-blue body and white head)!  It's at Target now, if you can find the display, which I believe you can.  I like this one a lot.  Read on!

And we continue the droid watch with BB-Series Droid (BB-8-style droid, white body and red head) - in theory, in Targets now in little blue boxes.   It's the BB-9E body with BB-8's head and new colors.  It also vaguely resembles something from WWI, which I assume was unintentional.  Read on!

The nameless figure we are identifying as a R3-Series Astromech Droid (R3-Series, Clear Dome, Black Body with Orange Highlights) may be on an endcap at Target near you right now as part of a Galaxy's Edge campaign.  I think this is my favorite one in the batch - clear dome, flame gets, Halloweeny colors.  Also it's ten bucks, which is splitting the difference between this mold when it appears on The Vintage Collection cardbacks for about $13 and when it shows up in ForceLink-esque packaging.  Read on!

We're going to double our Figure of the Day articles for October!  Come back every weekday (except Q&A Monday) for a look at figures like Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) - a reissue with different face paint! If you missed him before, now you can get one of your own. Read on!

This Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) is a lot like the one you missed in late 2011 - but just a bit different. If you missed the last one, this is a good substitute - but I kind of like the face on the original just a bit more.  Read on!

If you missed the original in 2010, this Wicket (Ewok Redux, The Vintage Collection) is worth a look.  The deco has been changed, the accessories are tweaked a bit, and it still has the green season 2 cartoon cowl.  (It would've been awesome if the recolored it to match season 1 this time, but such is life.)  Is it worth buying? Probably! Read on!

Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (The Black Series 6-Inch) is available now - but it's not in big box stores, as it's a fan channel exclusive. What does that mean? Order it online, or ask if your local comic shop has it.  It's big and cool, but it's $10 more than a regular figure.  Is it worth it?  Read on!

There are two releases of this Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper, The Vintage Collection) - last year's was in a 3-pack for SDCC, and this year's is on a cardback as pictured.  The blasters are a tiny bit different.  The head sculpts are new for these releases, while the Stormtrooper  body is pretty old.  Is it worth it?  Well, it's better than the last one. Read on!

Check out Clone Commander Wolffe (The Vintage Collection)!  There are new parts, there are old parts, and there's a great new head sculpt in there with the scarred eye.   If you see it, go ahead and get one.  Or order online, as that is the way these things are done now.   Read on!

It's in the movie! But not on the cardback photo.   Power Droid (Lars Family Homestead, The Vintage Collection) can be yours, if you order online or find one in the wild at one per case.  It's a retool of a previously exclusive Hasbro droid, but now it has a new hat - and tons of new deco, so it looks great.  Read on!

Hey it's Kit Fisto (The Black Series 6-Inch!  It's the new Obi-Wan body with new hands and a new head. And the wrong lightsaber.  But odds are your average collector won't notice, so it just looks like Kit Fisto, which is how it should look.  Read on!

Coming out of The Last Jedi toy launch, General Leia Organa (The Black Series 6-Inch) is a marvelous pre-"real" printing face figure.  She might even be one of the best figures out of that launch with exceptionally good articulation and pretty great deco.  You can also still buy her for retail or below if you look around.  Read on!

Not from Target! This Disney parks exclusive R6-Series Astromech Droid Silver with Purple is something you could build together - we're reviewing these guys as unique domes and the body build, well, that's up to you.  There are more domes than bodies and there's a ton of purple. Read on!

While maybe not essential, the 4-LOM (Kenner-Deco Zuckuss, The Black Series 6-Inch) sure is a throwback for the original Kenner class of 1982!  The names were swapped and the colors were a bit off, but darned if they don't look amazing.  This 2-pack was shared with Amazon and Hasbro Pulse, and you don't have to share with anyone if you bought it.  It has the same gun as the previous release but it looks like everything is a different enough color where it's worth your while.  Read on!

The shared exclusive Stormtrooper (Carbonzed Graphite, The Black Series 6-Inch) is not in a big box store near you, but you can order it online from fan-friendly stores or maybe through your local comic or toy shops.   I like it a lot - it's basically a trooper in Phasma colors.   There are a bunch of cool specialized Stormtroopers out there, but this one is shiny so you just have to get it.  Read on!
