The Kessel Guard is pretty cool - the helmet looks like a kitchen appliance, the arms remind me of Chirrut Imwe, and it's just generally very Star Warsy. Plus it comes with Lando, so you should get one. Read on!
It's Lando Calrissian! He's from a 2-pack in the Solo line that seems to be selling pretty well right now - but you can probably find it if you make a couple of stops on your next toy hunt. Read on!
From Disney, the Power Droid (Wind-Up Fight Droids) is pretty big - it might be too big, but it's neat. It walks and swings its arms with all the precision of the windmill. It's $9.95 for both figures, so it's plenty cheap. Read on!
Despite the fact that nobody seems to be talking about them, the Solo line has been pretty fantastic. The Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Last Jedi / Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) has a great sculpt with deco that's good, but not perfect, compared to other releases. (Gloves, rank badge.) It also has the best ever Wampa. Read on!
It's small! The 3 3/4-inch Range Trooper (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) has big boots, fake fluff, and a blaster. I like it. I'd like to see some more. Read on!
Captain Phasma (First Order Disguise, The Last Jedi Line Look) was meant for a main line release, but ended up almost not coming out - instead, you can find it as an Entertainment Earth exclusive. She has a staff, a backpack, a cape, a blaster, and Finn too. I love how both arms are pre-posed to hold either weapon, plus they painted her arms silver rather than molding them in a not-matching swirly color. It's nice. Read on!
Hopefully you saw the movie, because today we look at Chewbacca (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look)! This awesome figure has a unique bandolier and a decent paint job. And it's probably sold out at a store near you. Read on!
Packaged in a red and white box with The Last Jedi hues but shipping in the Solo assortments, the most-articulated Wampa yet is out in the Force Link 2.0 assortments - but at press time, the app and Force Link band require an as-of-yet unpublished firmware update to make it talk. (We got one update to get most toys working, this one still doesn't.) There are a lot of weird, wrong things about the toy's sound chip and box, but the jointed knees and elbows will get you your best Wampa yet. Read on!
One of the more highly-requested figures after The Force Awakens came out, Supreme Leader Snoke has had a pretty good recent run as action figures. This one has a cloth outfit and a generous slathering of articulation, and it's also the only completely new figure in the new 2018 The Vintage Collection so far. As such, you're probably on your way to buy one. Read on!
The long-delayed Kylo Ren (with display base and metal helmet, The Black Series 6-Inch) hit a few weeks ago, and it's surprisngly decent. He has a metal helmet and a cloth cape, and if that weren't enough there's also a display base that can connect to Snoke's throne. It's a lot of plastic, and you're charged accordingly. Is it worth it? Read on!
Possibly now available, but also likely to be sold out at a store near you, this Darth Maul is part of a new 2-pack that just hit. The review was queued up before the app went live, but its Force Link 2.0 clips are a soundalike for some reason. We are not amused. But since the figure is fine, at least future generations won't have to be quite as sad when support for the app and firmware inevitably ends. Read on!
