The Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader is pretty awesome - and it's part of a great set.  I'm seeing these around, so you should probably snag one when you see it.  Just look at those colors!  It's pretty fancy.  Read on!

It's Moroff!  He comes with a trooper you want, but is actually a pretty fantastic figure himself.  He may have laughable hair, but it would seem that sort of thing is accepted as of late.   He also includes a giant backpack cannon and a smaller - but still big - rifle.  Read on!

This new Imperial Stormtrooper looks like how most people imagined Sandtroopers in the 1990s - most customs were just a shoulder pad on a Stormtrooper, and it was always orange. The configuration appered in Star Wars Rebels too - but this is the movie Rogue One version with an added ammo pouch.  Swanky!  Read on!

Baze Malbus is some sort of weapons expert in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.   The figure was designed accordingly with a massive backpack rocket launcher that may or may not be in the movie.  I have no idea - all I know is that I have this figure in my hands and it looks pretty good.  Read on!

It's Sergeant Jyn Erso (Jedha) from wave 2 of the 3 3/4-inch Rogue One line!  She has a scarf, a blaster, a rocket launcher, and feels like she'd be right at home in the mid-late 1980s "off camera" world of Star Wars toys.   If she couldn't pilot the ATL Interceptor, I don't know who could.   But is she worth picking up - even with appearances in an upcoming gift set and vehicle?  Read on!

Director Krennic is in charge of the whole Death Star construction thing and has a group of hangers-on called Death Troopers.  As such, one might assume he's the new bad guy - the figure turned out fairly well, although maybe the cape isn't exactly what you wanted.   It's still a nice figure.   Read on!

Target's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Hasbro exclusive sets are in stores as of today.   A 12-inch 6-pack, a 3 3/4-inch 7-pack, and a 6-inch 3-pack are there now.  The Black Series set includes a repack of Jyn Erso along with a plussed up Imperial Death Trooper with more gear and the jacketed version of Cassian Andor.  The Eadu head looks a smidgen better - but they're out there now if you need them.

In the annals of obscurity, many people at many companies worked very hard to bring you the still-nameless Jabba's Bartender astromech droid, in stock now at Entertainment Earth.  It's in Return of the Jedi, and if you can find it you get a prize.   Read on!

New for Rogue One is... Rey?  The super-popular hero of the last film is back with new gear and a new head sculpt - and it's a good one too.  Is it enough to buy the fifth or sixth Rey in your toy box?  Read on!

It's new!  Rarely does a year go by without a new toy of the main character of the saga, so we look forward to Darth Vader (Rogue One).  He's got six points of articulation, a cape, and a rocket launcher shaped like his belt buckle.   I'm loving it.  Will you?  Read on!

Rumors have been swirling for months in Transformers and G.I. Joe circles, and the event will be in September within walking distance of the Omni Hotel, at Dunkin Donuts Center. There's a decent mall nearby with a movie theater, food, pants, and all the things you'll usually want to kill time or hide accidents at a show.

From the new Rogue One line comes the Kanan Jarrus (Stormtrooper Disguise)!   It's a new taller Stormtrooper sculpt with a removable helmet and a wrist launcher for some reason.  It's actually pretty fun - and shortpacked, so get one or more if you see them.   Read on!
