Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,352: Sabine Wren (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, March 15, 2017

If you enjoy life,  you'll probably want Sabine Wren.  This 6-inch action figure is a Rebel Mandalorian artist with four accessories and some amazing paint operations on her armor.  And working holsters.  And a removable helmet with an articulated rangefinder - even Boba and Jango don't have that.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,351: Snowtrooper (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, March 15, 2017

Still hard to find, the Snowtrooper has barely showed up in any stores - but you can get it online.  It has two blasters and just enough mud on his boots that I assume you're going to dig it.  I'd love it if you could army build it, but that seems unlikely right now.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,350: Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, March 8, 2017

While the line was small, Rogue One brought us a lot of really cool figures last year like this Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader.  The 6-inch figure has a lot of color, plenty of articulation, and just enough paint on the gun to be interesting.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,349: Baze Malbus (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 7, 2017

This bigger Baze Malbus figure is in circulation now - if you're lucky enough to find one. (Just get it online.)  It has a huge gun and great articulation, plus rather large hair.  There's also an easily lost accessory in the mix!   You know you want one - read on.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,348: Chirrut Imwe (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 2, 2017

If you didn't get the 6-inch version of Chirrut Imwe, you totally should.  The cloth robes, the great articulation, and the surprisingly well-engineered lightbow all make for a great figure.    Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,347: Imperial Death Trooper (Target, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 28, 2017

If you aren't yet sick of seeing the Imperial Death Trooper figures, Target has one too - theirs is in a gift set with a figure you want and another figure you already have.  This 6-inch trooper has distinctive gear over its armor, which means it's the version you want.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,346: R5-K6 (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 23, 2017

Hey, it's R5-K6!  The red robot is a new mold only seen at Toys R Us so far - but R5-D4 is coming next.   Should you get it?  I hope you already did - they're starting to vanish from Toys R Us in my neck of the woods already.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,345: R7-F5 (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 21, 2017

Hey, it's R7-F5! I'm on a plane so I wrote these up in advance so you could have something to read.  Its orange and I like it.  I hope you like it too.  Read on!

Toy Fair 2017: Playskool Playstuff

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, February 20, 2017

3305

So Playskool.  It's one of the niftiest ongoing formats that most collectors ignore.  Complete sets of the original Galactic Heroes are far and few between, but the new articulated format (which started under the Jedi Force banner) may be gettable.  One of the biggest new items was a BB-8 Action Base, which unfolds to reveal numerous compartments and gadgets - including more inside the big droid head.  I was told it included 2 figures, but 3 were on display.

Hasbro Toy Fair: 3 3/4-Inch Star Wars Die-Cast Metal Action Figures

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3297 Metal!  You've seen these before, but the 3 3/4-inch diorama 40th Anniversary Titanium Series figures are pretty neat.  Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi were all shown in person to the public for the first time.

Also shown, more packs of helmets.  When are they coming?  I have no idea, but we have pictures.

Hasbro Toy Fair: The Black Series Centerpiece 6-Inch Scale Star Wars Statues

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3291 I'm not going to lie to you - I'm not a fan of The Black Series Centerpiece concept.  Statues are made by so many companies, so a 1:12 scale (6-inch) non-articulated figure on a display base with places to pose your other action figures on a shelf isn't particularly delightful to me.  It's kind of antithetical to the whole action figure motif - it stands there, it looks good, and it should be in the $50-$60 ballpark.

Hasbro Toy Fair: The Black Series 6-Inch Star Wars Action Figures

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3282 If you love The Black Series 6-inch action figures, goodish news - you don't have a lot new to buy.  Most of the figures from the non-vintage packaging were revealed at Comic-Con last year in San Diego, so the most interesting things here are packaged samples of Hera Syndulla, Qui-Gon Jinn, Lando Calrissian, the Emperor's Royal Guard, and of course the Tusken Raider.

Hasbro Toy Fair: Star Wars Roleplay and Prop Replicas

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3275 For this segment of our coverage, we've posted official write-ups and press photos already so I'll just give you some booth photos of the new First Order Stormtrooper Megablaster, Force FX Obi-Wan Kenobi Lightsaber, Poe Dameron helmet, and so on.  You've seen it, it's good, now see it again.

Hasbro Toy Fair: 40th Anniversary 6-Inch Star Wars Action Figures

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3265 The secret is out - and has been out - but the 40th Anniversary Collection has a big launch that's more of a big relaunch.  Fans have been clamoring for "the original 12" in every expression possible, so now it's being completed with the 6-inch action figures.  This means we're getting a mix of retools, repacks, and new figures.  If you missed R2-D2

Hasbro Toy Fair: 3 3/4-Inch Star Wars Action Figures

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 18, 2017

3253 While at Toy Fair, Hasbro neglected to mention its core 3 3/4-inch line in the presentation.  At all.  There wasn't even a nod to it, but product is expected for The Last Jedi and there was more shown in the booth than we've seen previously.  While rumors swirl around the next batch of the Death Trooper, Shoretrooper, Lt. Sefla, Admiral Raddus, Galen Erso, and Fenn Rau, I didn't hear or overhear much during my brief time in the showrooms.
