One good droid deserves another - the BB-8 (Droid Factory Line Look) is a newish mold! He's bigger than Hasbro's, but the deco is different - not better, not worse. Neither seems truly superior, but this one is bigger and a little bit more adorable thanks to the eye seeming to have more life in it. Read on!
Not from Hasbro! Disney's 2BB-2 (Droid Factory Line Look) is pretty slick and, for some reason, have the lettering backward. Go figure. It's a neat robot that looks kind of like a globe of Earth. Read on!
You may have seen big displays of these in September, and now they seem to have dried up. But why? The Darth Vader (The Black Series, 6-Inch, Centerpiece) lights up and has places to put Stormtroopers while the Sith Lord tears down this wall. It lights up, too. Read on!
What's kind of fascinating in the Disney era is that most figures look better than ever. Great sculpting and top-notch detail are the norm with very few exceptions, and this Yoda from the CG prequel design is possibly the very best one we've ever seen on that design. The eyes have a subtle outline, the shoulders are able to move outward, plus he has both a cane and a lightsaber. It seems like this is the figure most likely to sell out too - so get one if you see it. Read on!
While C-3PO would fill in on your The Black Series shelves nicely, the value version of Captain Phasma might not. She's about a head shorter, but as a standalone figure she's pretty cool for the asking price. Phasma has a cape and a blaster, based on her The Force Awakens look - so no new spear here. Read on!
Check out Walmart's exclusive 3 3/4-inch Resistance Tech Rose (The Black Series, The Last Jedi). I haven't seen them in a store for about a month, but it's a nifty take on a character we'll get to meet in December. Read on!
If you were lucky, you also found Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master, The Black Series) 3 3/4-inch figure during the Force Friday II weekend memorial toy launch and BBQ at a Walmart near you... and it probably didn't ring up, either. Well, they're in circulation and it's a pretty good figure - it has articulation and a cloth cloak, while the cheaper, more findable one has less articulation and a really good plastic cloak. Which should you buy? Both, but read on!
Newish from The Last Jedi, this Rey (2-Pack) figure is a little different than the single one - the sculpt is a little different, the legs have a different range of motion, and the faces are a little different. Also she has a Millennium Falcon-inspired backpack cannon, so go ahead and get both. This one is made in Vietnam, the single one is from China. Read on!
Take a look at the Elite Praetorian Guard (2-Pack, The Last Jedi Line Look) with its bonnet. Ofsnoke has a cool bladed weapon and a faceless mask, and is one of (so far) three different 3 3/4-inch guards on the market. Should you get it? Of course. Read on!
I was surprised to find Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Last Jedi Line Look) over Force Friday weekend. This is a spectacular figure for the asking price - not only does it talk, but the design is really good. He can't sit in a Landspeeder, but there are jointed legs, a fantastic painted beard, one of the best Alex Guinness faces yet rendered in plastic, and oh yes - it's one of the few new 3 3/4-inch Original Trilogy sculpts since the dawn of the Disney new movie toy era. Read on!
If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at the Elite Praetorian Guard (The Last Jedi Line Look). It has big giant split gown legs, a cool weapon, and a helmet that looks sort of like it has blinds on it. Read on!
