Take a look at R5-S9 (Droid Factory), it's blue! The colors don't match the show perfectly, but it's also not an animated figure. You can find this The Clone Wars-inspired robot at Disney theme parks in a 4-pack, and of course we're going to look at them all. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The 40th Anniversary Line! Everybody got what they wanted here, right? Nothing left on the table? And Blade Runner plus more Vintage stuff. Some things may not be destined for us all. Is it time for Hasbro to try in-store displays of figures? Probably not, but let's look at it anyway.
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
From the Disney parks, it's R5-P8 (Droid Factory)! It has a gun, lots of painted dirt, and a cartoony monster face on it. It's brilliant. You should get one. Read on!
If you recall last year, Hasbro didn't announce its Jyn Erso exclusive until San Diego Comic-Con-goers were already on the ground. This year, we may (because it wasn't officially announced yet) be seeing this Star Wars: The Black Series Jedi Master Luke Skywalker and Jedi In Training Rey 2-pack as seen on the Jedi Insider today. It hasn't been officially announced at all, but it does look a lot like official Hasbro photography. More as we have it!
Today: Disney's See-Threepio (C-3PO, Droid Factory) from the 2-pack! It's not bad - it's a little fake filthy, too. Is this the super-articulated C-3PO you've been waiting for? Read on!
This week in Q&A - The AT-ACT! You probably didn't buy it - but what was up with the most expensive action figure vehicle for Star Wars ever made? And the coin card figures - will Hasbro do vintage-style figures with those metal coins? Also Fan's Choice, the surest way to stir fan discussion and death threats.

A few months ago, Disney surprised us by releasing C1-10P "Chopper" - with tons of extra parts and articulation. It's a The Vintage Collection figure in all but name and packaging! The arm pops out. You can pop more arms in to his dome. You can change out third legs... he has third legs. It's great, get one. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The Future of Force Friday! Or Boba Fett's cartoon regeneration - will we see a tooned up version again? Also Kickstarter toys, because we love them.

Formerly two of the biggest juggernauts in America, it seems like we're having regular monthly updates on more store closures for both Kmart and Sears. In a blog at Sears Holdings, 35 more Kmarts and 8 more Searses are set to begin liquidation this week - including the last remotely handy Kmart to GHHQ. You can read Transformation Update for more, or go right to the list of closures.
Debuting at San Diego Comic-Con at Entertainment Earth's Booth #2343, the Toys R Us Exclusive 6-inch The Black Series Star Wars Commander Gree is looking fantastic - it's just one of several items on sale there, including stuff from Twin Peaks, Guardians of the Galaxy, Transformers, and Justice League. Check it out, and get yours at the show!
The 6-inch Qui-Gon Jinn is tall and surprisingly nicely sculpted. It's missing the Jedi cloaks we all crave, but you do get a lightsaber and an alternate hand. And an excuse to learn how to sew. Read on!
Death Squad Commander. It's on a 40th Anniversary cardback, and maybe you'll even see one. The 6-inch action figure sports a blaster, a working holster, and a removable hat. There's not a lot more you could ask for here, short of variant heads, and that's just make you angry. Read on!
This week in Q&A - vintage vinyl-cape Yoda? Nope! The 3 3/4-inch scale - is it over, finished? Also 6-inch value figures - why can't anybody find those without a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it being dark, and your wearing sunglasses?
