He's new! And this FOTD is too long-- but it's Savage Opress, a brand-new figure you probably don't have yet. It's not bad, and it's on par with the bulk of Jedi figures in the line since 2010, meaning no ankles. It looks great though-- read on!
A tipster emailed me to point out that the lightsaber in General Grievous' Attack Cycle is actually modeled after Sha'a Gi's unique weapon from the original Clone Wars micro series. I did not notice that before! "The More You Know," and all.
It's new! So new, it just hit a few days ago. The Imperial Navy Commando Officer is sort of a Stormtrooper, but not. He has a unique helmet and pauldron, plus a really good holster. What more do you need to know? Read on!
OK, we're back to normal for Q&A! What's up with Comic-Con Announcements? Well, let's look at several. And what's the deal with MMO figures? We'll look at that too. And do we have some Wedge news? Sort of! Read on, and ask your questions for the next column!
Heads up: Toys R Us is running a 2 for $10.99 sale on Captain America, Iron Man, G.I. Joe, Marvel Universe, Star Wars, Thor, and Spider-Man 3 3/4-inch action figures. If history is any indication, "Vintage" will be excepted from this offer-- check your store for disappointment in TRU's not detail-driven marketing department and a lack of understanding of what "all" means details.
On the heels of iGear, FansProject, and other "third-party" toymakers comes Toys de Force, who emailed us to inform us of their next release-- the Warlordarian. This super-articulated 3 3/4-inch figure looks a lot like the Mandalorians from the Knights of the Old Republic comic books.
Ad: New Star Wars arrivals from Hasbro! Several new Star Wars toys are available right now. In the past 24 hours Entertainment Earth has received 3 brand-new waves of The Clone Wars with Savage Opress and Seripas as well as numerous other thrilling pre-orders like the new Mandalorian Assault Transport Vehicle-- and it that weren't enough, a ThunderCats Sale is running through the weekend! Click through for pricing, pictures, and availability.
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!
In addition to the Delta Squad set (and the Vintage Y-Wing, a couple of smaller vehicles, the Stealth Operations Clone Trooper, and a few other items) Toys R Us just started stocking the Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Sith & Imperial Troopers. 4 of the 5 figures appear to be new sculpts, and it's pretty good for $39.99.
Click through for a few images and impressions, after the break.
We turn 1600 today! We celebrate with a look at one of our favorite new figures, the ARC Trooper Commander which is, obviously, heavily inspired by Clone Fordo. He has enough gear for two distinctive looks, so is he worth the gas or shipping costs? Read on, and thanks for your support!
With a sculpted-soft goods cloak combo, this Barriss is an improvement over the pre-posed figure from 2003 with more articulation and a decent facial likeness. Check out all the detailed photos in our Image Bank!
It's the new General Grievous packaged with the new Attack Cycle! It's similar to one that came out in 2010, but it's less likely to fall apart--a big, big plus. So should you get one? Read on!
It's that time again! Fan's Choice Metrics is back with round 2. This week, we look at the ToyFare and Wizard "Fan's Choice" contests run by Hasbro in conjunction with fan sites and those publications. Just how many of the figures did we really end up getting? Read on!
