Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,697

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 15, 2011

I love Jawa figures.  For a while, Hasbro put out a new one almost every year-- this has since stopped, but it was a nice run to see new takes on the little guys with a companion droid.  This was the last one so far-- how was he?  Read on!

Do you remember Cat Miin?  Probably not.  But here she is!  She was one of the final Revenge of the Sith figures in 2005, and may be worth your while-- so read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,674

This was the first trooper version of the Mandalorian Warrior released by Hasbro-- and it's a slightly different color than the rest.  I still like it-- but is this bike rider worth the price of admission?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,655

The Twin-Pod Cloud Car Pilot is a fantastic figure with a great design and tons of articulation, but if you go to the store you may see that most people don't share my enthusiasm. (It hung around.)  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,650

It's Kit Fisto, an amazing revision of a great character. Mostly.  Some details aren't perfectly true to the film or to the needs of the toy, but it's still pretty good.  Good enough?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,602

It's Captain Rex as he appears on Orto Plutonia! Thankfully Hasbro repackaged him a few times, but is he worth tracking down?  Should you be happy with the normal release?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,593

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, July 22, 2011

With all the news you probably won't read about poor R2-Q5, an RC update of the Return of the Jedi-themed droid.  Feel like reading anyway?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,547

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 19, 2011

This 4-LOM is pretty awesome, and a convention exclusive from last year.  It takes the modern Zuckuss figure and paints it in vintage Kenner 4-LOM colors.  I think it's the best version of the character yet, so read on, and then go get one!  Go on, read!

Long-Rumored New Tauntaun Revealed

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, May 11, 2011

Long alluded to by Hasbro via their Q&A sessions, this new Tauntaun test shot can be seen at Sandtroopers.com in their forums.  Presumably this is something that will be revealed at (or even released by) Comic-Con this July, but the actual fate of this item is presently unknown. Be sure to take a look, and post your thoughts below!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,511

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, March 30, 2011

So it's come to this, another Emperor Palpatine repaint.  This one came in the Crimson Empire boxed set with Royal Guard trainees and Darth Vader-- maybe you bought it, maybe you didn't.  Should you?  Read on!

Star Wars Toys Pull in $510 Million in 2010

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, February 6, 2011

Have you heard all those rumors that Star Wars is floundering as a toy line?  All lies.   The Hollywood Reporter confirms that in 2010-- a non-movie, non-major release year, that our favorite space brand brought in a whopping $510,000,000.  This includes both Hasbro and LEGO products.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,440

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 21, 2010

One of the most iconic aliens in the entire Star Wars saga are the Cantina Band musicians, which surprisingly didn't see plastic for the first time until 1997. Also surprising: the 2007 version of the character is the 1997 one with new paint. Is it any better?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,432

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 9, 2010

He was in the original Star Wars in the background, and now he gets to talk and be annoyed by Anakin Skywalker.  Admiral Yularen was a slow seller in 2009, but now he's gone and you can't have one.  Too bad.  Should you be upset?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,409

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, November 8, 2010

Is he named after the dude in the U.N.?  Probably. Koffi Arana is seen here in his comic book outfit with red armor and spoileriffic stabbable torso.  Now that's pretty swell, ain't it?  Should you pick up this 2007, or wait until Mustafar freezes over for a new version?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,387

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 7, 2010

Figures without knee and ankle joints are worthless, right? Wrong! The free market has spoken and this Clone Commando from the Star Wars: Tales comic series goes for a hefty premium.   See how Hasbro kept costs down and made a great figure (that you probably don't have) when you read on!
