Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,969

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, December 31, 2012

While Hasbro put out a bunch of action figures in 2012, we look at their simplest one in our final Figure of the Day for the year.  This Battle Droid has but 2 points of articulation, yet stands fairly well and looks pretty good.  Not bad as a figure designed as filler for an MTT's droid rack!  If you haven't got one already, should you?

This Obi-Wan Kenobi is a realistic take on the 2008 incarnation of his Clone Wars armor.  It's (at least) the third non-animated 3 3/4-inch figure to do some take on this outfit, and I think it's my favorite.  Is it worth ordering this de facto online exclusive?

This Expanded Universe Tri-Droid came from a hard-to-find Battle Pack which is actually quite good.  The unique take on the droid has a blood red Separatist symbol plus a lot of black, meaning it's like a goth robot or something.  It deprograms itself so it feels something.  Is it worth getting?

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,966

It's Snaggletooth, sort of!  From Target's still-available Vintage 3-Packs, this is an update of the creature from the first movie, but it doesn't look a lot like the original Kenner action figure.  It's really cool though. 

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,965

As one of the last Christmas figures, this Holiday Jawa works as a non-Christmas figure too.  He's holding a 3 3/4-inch scale Training Remote, an accessory which to this day still hasn't really been done for full-height action figures.  Beyond the retooled arms and unique eyes, it's like the wonderful 1996 Jawa action figure.  Did you get one?

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,964

Hey kids, it's Santa Yoda!  One of four "Holiday Edition" sets (and one of only two that ended up at the intended retailer), Yoda managed to give fans a new sculpt with some swell accessories, all based on a vintage Ralph McQuarrie painting.  It even came with a Christmas Card!  It's a heck of an ice figure for 2003, despite the then-high price of about $12.95.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,963

It's a blue R9-Series Astromech Droid! It's at Star Tours in Orlando, so if you want one, it'll cost you.  I think it's worth it.  The figure, I mean.  The trip?  Who knows.  I don't know where you live.  Maybe it'll be worth escaping the terrors that is the holiday season.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,962

This Pit Droid came out earlier in the year and was sold in a few configurations.  It's the same figure, though.  Did you get one?  You probably should.
