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yet is out in the Force Link 2.0 assortments - but at press time, the app and Force Link band require an as-of-yet unpublished firmware update to make it talk.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!
Part of a new 2-pack, the Qui-Gon Jinn (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) is pretty sharp. The Maul it comes with is no slouch - there are some great accessories, and one confusing one. It's worth your money, even if the Force Link clips are soundalikes. Read on!

Let's look at Han Solo (Speeder, Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look)! He has a new outfit, a head that looks like Han but not really like the new actor - which means, we can now assume this is intentional - and a blue speeder that looks a lot like a book. I like it. Read on!
New from Hasbro - if you can find it - is this Dewback with Sandtrooper (The Black Series 6-Inch)! It's big and neat and probably sold out at a store near you. It mixes elements of the newer CG Dewbacks with the original prop puppet, resulting in a surprisingly well-made lizard with articulated toes. And an articulated tongue. Find a better Dewback, I dare you. Read on!
While we haven't seen it in the movies, the Range Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty cool. There's a fuzzy collar that looks good, bits and pieces that look cobbled together from Snowtroopers and Beachtroopers. I like it - but will we like the movie? I don't know. Read on!
One of the biggest hits of the new launch is Grand Moff Tarkin (The Black Series 6-Inch) . There's a lot of good stuff - but this one is great. He has a torture droid and easily the best "classic" likeness on one of these figures yet! Read on.
Lifelike but Aiden-ish, the Han Solo (Solo, The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty good. Nice costume, good articulation, excellent paint. And you can find it online or at a store near you - read on!
