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?
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Available in both kinds of 6-inch figure packaging, the Tusken Raider / Sand People has a different name depending on which version you bought. They're both pretty much identical - you get a rifle, a gaffi stick with three swappable sharp parts, and a pretty astonishingly good costume. Read on!
It's new! (Thanks, Shannon!) The CZ Series Communications Droid (White, Droid Factory) is up for grabs at Disney parks, provided that you can find the pieces. It's similar to Hasbro's CZ-4 a few years ago, which is similar to CZ-3, which is what I'm saying this is for my display purposes. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Package variants! Should we expect more? Vintage announcements - what have you missed? (Not a lot.) And exclusives in short supply, second verse is same as the first.

That was fast. He of Willow and Happy Days is back, so says StarWars.com with Ron Howard to Assume Directorial Duties on the Untitled Han Solo Film. The release date remains unchanged - May 25, 2018 - and part of that official announcement is as follows:
Lucasfilm is pleased to announce that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Howard has been named director of the untitled Han Solo film.
The Han Solo directors are out? Not much is known, other than this "A Message from Lucasfilm Regarding the Untitled Han Solo Film" post in which Lucasfilm says:
The untitled Han Solo film will move forward with a directorial change.
“Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
Newish! Lando Calrissian (The Black Series) is awesome and you probably want one. He has a cape, a microphone, and a blaster - plus a good likeness and fairly fantastic paint.
This week in Q&A - 6-inch cheapo figures! Where to hunt? (Chime in, dear readers.) The Black Series Packaging Variations - what's coming? Do we know? And lulz - er, lulls. 2018 is going to be, to say the least, interesting.
