If you missed it - like I did - Hasbro did another run of the Star Wars The Black Series Carbonized Collection The Mandalorian Toy Figure (Target Exclusive) for US Target stores. It's $24.99, and I would go as far as to say it looks good enough to be worth the five bucks. I saw a few out and about today, so check your local stores - and don't trust the in-store inventory checkers online, go look. My store said they had none online, and sure enough, there it was. Good hunting!
Oddly this Finn (Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch) seems to have already dried up around these parts - as the only Hasbro Finn from The Rise of Skywalker, at least to date, you might want to get one if you stumble on one. The 5-inch line has been reported as being as low as $3-$5 at various Kroger-owned grocery stores and Walmarts, and they're well worth that price. Particularly Finn, as it's a nicely-sculpted figure with great articulation and no problems standing. Read on!
The not-so-new MSE Droid (The First Order, Galaxy's Edge, The Black Series 6-Inch) is amazingly well-decorated, with astonishingly good wear-and-tear paint right on the body. It has wheels, it's small, and you can get it at Galaxy's Edge in a big expensive pack with another Kylo Ren. Read on!
Before The Rise of Skywalker, we had no idea what the deal with Knight of Ren (The Vintage Collection) was. And now we still don't. How does this not-quite-Darth Maul-looking guy shake out as a figure? Quite well. Read on!
The Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, The Black Series 6-Inch) is possibly at a Walmart near you right now! It's an exclusive and it's a big upgrade over the previous edition, which had no vest, no cloak, and no blaster for the same price. I like the new head a lot, even if he does have a little more color than I would expect for the scale. Read on!
Celebrate the end of the saga with a figure that comes from the movie that was the end of the saga back in 1983 with Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch)! This $10 Walmart exclusive looks pretty sharp and comes with a snazzy vest. Read on!
The Jet Trooper is a new figure, but what do we know about it? Not much. It flies, it's in the movie, and it has a quick-draw attack - and rocker ankles. Read on!
Possibly at a Walgreens near you, the Clone Commander Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Black Series 6-Inch) looks more like Ewan McGregor than the movie-specific Ewan figures put out in this scale. He's got a lot of color in his face, which works well as his armor is pretty desaturated. Is it worth buying this modified Clone Trooper figure? Yes. Read on!
It's the Shadow Trooper (The Vintage Collection)! It's the Blackhole Stormtrooper I always wanted - they can call it what they want, but this is about as Russ Manning as these things get. He has extra parts, too! Read on.
It's Darth Vader (Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch)! He's big and chunky, and in that new scale and style that won't match your other toys - it's cool, though. Provided you aren't overwhelmed in desk figures, this is a good one. Read on!
Millions have been produced over the years, but there was enough demand that Hasbro made more of Darth Vader (The Retro Collection) in a new format for 2019. The texture and feel is a little different, and there's a slight difference in the chest paint - and of course, the copyright markings are changed. Read on!
You can find the Luke Skywalker (Yavin, The Vintage Collection) in stores or order online, as it's a Walmart exclusive! I would recommend getting the figure in store - it's the Luke of Theseus with a new head and a few other changes from previous releases. It just doesn't s hip well in an unprotected plastic sack. Read on!
Best Buy scored one of the best exclusives of the year - now on their web site and probably out of stock - with the new Star Wars - The Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian Deluxe Action Figure. This appears in The Mandalorian streaming series, and since we are not considering product announcements to be spoilers unless it has a specific feature (i.e., decapitation) we're going to go ahead and post it here.
It's Luke with a new head, but Wedge Antilles (The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty good. You get a great portrait, a blaster, a helmet, and possibly the wrong haircut. It's hard to know for sure - but you can read on!
The show is on today - I haven't seen it yet - but The Mandalorian (The Black Series 6-Inch) is a figure you can get now! It's armored, you can see some Scarif Trooper armor, and it looks cool. The coloring looks like something that would fit in with Jabba's entourage, but for now he'll just wander the shelves. Read on!
