I really am impressed by Han Solo (Mimban) as it's a good example of Hasbro using the medium.   The muddy figure is molded in mostly one color, with a tiny hint of a wash to bring out more definition. The texture is good, the color is spot-on, and the likeness... well, it isn't perfect.   But using environmental-based decoration to smooth over paint applications (or negate them completely) is creative as it gets.  Read on!

The Black Series continues with Val.   She didn't get to do much in the film, but she made enough of an impact to get a toy in a few months!  This 6-inch action figure was previewed Wednesday night in two places.

I n a heist diorama from Solo: A Star Wars Story, Hasbro showed some rarely-seen new figures including what may be a new Han Solo.  Note his goggles and coat - this figure has not been previously announced.  I assume we'll hear more about the 6-inch action figure and his cohorts (including Val) on Friday.

Lando's droid gal pal, navigator, and future brains of the Millennium Falcon was on display at Comic-Con.  The 6-inch scale The Black Series figure joins Val and others, presumably later this year, and if you're here you can see L3-37 in a diorama or on the display shelves.

Also expected for 2019, this Yak Face was first previewed at Toy Fair.  And here it is in color, in person!  For me. You're not here.

The figure didn't seem to have a visible accessory - so I don't know if it has a Nikto pike, or a Gaffi stick, or something else - but it does look a little truer to the original movie costume.   I like it.

While we've seen renderings before, I don't believe I've been in the presence of this Klaatu Skiff Guard figure in person.   From The Vintage Collection, this is one of increasingly few new "classic" figures to come from Hasbro since the Mouse ate Lucasfilm.   It should be out in 2019, unless I missed some exciting news.

This The Last Jedi figure didn't make it out to stores, but a small run did get built for Entertainment Earth.  The double-handed First Order Flametrooper (The Last Jedi Line Look) has some color and deco changes, making it a better troop-builder than its The Force Awakens brothers and/or sisters.  Read on!

Today!  The Mimban Stormtrooper (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) is dirty, but that's how we like it.  We've known Stormtroopers were on Mimban for decades, but this is the first time we've seen them.  Read on!

This Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) is from Solo - and it's almost the same as The Last Jedi.   There's a different sound chip which is still not Mark Hamil, and there's a green Force Link symbol on the foot.  Otherwise, it's arguably not different enough to warrant a mention.  Read on!

Forces of Destiny had a lot going for it - much of which may never see the light of day.  New episodes keep streaming, but new toys are far and few between.  The Porgs with Chewbacca got far enough along that you can snag yours at Comic-Con in a couple of weeks.  Cnet has the scoop - Chewie can be bought today, but the whole set is $50 at the show.  Read more here.

This Qi'ra (Corellia, Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) is pretty great - the skirt doesn't prevent her from sitting in Han's speeder, plus she has swivel wrists.  It's something you should buy before it goes away.  Read on!

One of the few new alien figures from Solo is Moloch - and he fits right in with your classic figures.  With a staff, a blaster, and a removable mask, this is a gem.  As one of the White Worms, there's a tail under the robes.  Its a heck of a cool design, and I'm seeing this one out and about a bit more lately.  Read on!

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!

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!
