Today in Figure of the Day, we look at another edition of the Jedi Master Yoda<\/b>, this time from Episode I<\/i>. With a chair, but no cane, this was a unique figure for many reasons-- not the least of which was a strong resemblance to the Vegetable Gremlin from Gremlins 2: The New Batch<\/i>. Do you need to add him to your collection? Read on, you will!<\/span> <\/a>

Figure of the Day rolls on with a look at 1998\'s Luke Skywalker<\/b> figure with the blast shield helmet. At the time, it was considered to be a highly needed resculpt, one Hasbro liked so much they reused it several times within the first year alone. Is it worth getting? (Hint: It\'s the only figure to ever come with a figure-scale blast shield helmet.) Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

The endless parade of disposable income continues in today\'s Figure of the Day! Today, we look at The Emperor<\/b> (not Emperor Palpatine, so says the box) from 2003. An unusual release, it wasn\'t what you might call a step up, but it sure is ugly and it\'s going to be revisited in the next wave of figures. Want to know what to expect? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

This week\'s parade of core characters continues in Figure of the Day with Luke Skywalker<\/b> as seen on Bespin in the Original Trilogy Collection<\/i>. As the second release of this figure, it has fewer accessories, but better paint. It also has lots of articulation, a display stand, and some great action features. Do you need it?

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at Princess Leia<\/b> from her Hoth outfit. Once a Fan Club exclusive, than a Toys \"R\" Us blowout, is this snowy princess from 1998 worth picking up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in the logic-defying 50th installment of Figure of the Day, we examine a unique repaint of Darth Vader<\/b> from the Original Trilogy Collection<\/i>. What makes it so unique? It\'s a Return of the Jedi<\/i> sculpt, painted to look like a scene-specific Empire Strikes Back<\/i> figure. (I need to adjust my glasses after making a statement like that.) So, is it worth picking up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Life as a Hutt can\'t be easy, as seen in today\'s Figure of the Day. Jabba the Hutt<\/b> has received less than stellar toy treatment in the modern line, and one of his two Episode I<\/i> offerings is up today. His unique mouth and odd coloring made this a unique figure, but do you need to buy one? Or just read about it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Oh, the complications of life! For example, when is a new figure a new figure? Figure of the Day examines this question with Han Solo<\/b>, a 2006 release of a 1998 figure with a new head and new accessories. Do you need it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

We continue Figure of the Day today with a look at another really great and underrated figure, Wat Tambor<\/b>. As a separatist, he looked cool, had a funny voice, and was filled with buttons. How can you resist such a combination? With a little holographic vehicle and command console, could this be the alien you need to get excited about starting a Separatist collection?

Who loves robots and surgeons? Today\'s Figure of the Day combs the toy galaxy for a figure that combines all of the fun of a robot with the delight of a physician in FX-7<\/b>, a Power of the Jedi<\/i> figure from late 2001. With loads of articulation in the arms, could this be the must-own figure you missed out on because you were too busy ignoring the greatest toy line to ever grace the planet? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the as-of-yet youngest Clone you can buy. (Sure, there was the jar, but there was nobody in it.) The Clone Youth<\/b> came with Lama Su in 2003 and is basically the same type of toy as the young Boba Fett, but with less articulation and fancy plans. (With pants to match.) Do you need one, or more? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

A reference to a store exclusive (and error) of days gone by, today\'s Figure of the Day examines Zutton<\/b>, the Kmart exclusive version better known to old-timers as a remake of the blue Sears Snaggletooth from the vintage line. With equal parts Zutton and Ponda Baba with a healthy dabble of new paint, is this figure worth it? (Do you have to ask?) Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today, we look back to the bygone days of 2005 for Figure of the Day with the Revenge of the Sith<\/i> Crab Droid<\/b>! With several big legs and a firing rocket, this is one tough character. But is he authentic to the movie? And is he too big? Read on! Updated!<\/font><\/span> <\/a>

Who says Hasbro ignores the Expanded Universe? Taking a page from both comic books and concept art, today\'s Figure of the Day looks at Darth Maul with Sith Attack Droid<\/b> from Power of the Jedi<\/i>. That\'s right, kids-- topless Sith action can be yours when you read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Part of the Power of the Jedi<\/i> line, today\'s Figure of the Day is an example of synergy gone wrong. The very first Plo Koon<\/b> had a yellowish green lightsaber in all media, including games and comics, but turned out to be wrong when we saw his blue weapon in 2002\'s Attack of the Clones<\/i>. Should you care? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Behold, (technically) the first basic Episode I<\/i> figure and the very first \"Sneak Preview\" figure of the modern line! Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the first-ever Mace Windu<\/b> action figure, which was a mail-in offer from 1998. Would you believe that after eight years, it\'s still one of the best figures in the line? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Back in 1997, getting a new version of a Luke or Leia was a really big deal, and today we look at a once-big-deal with Han Solo in Endor Gear<\/b> in Figure of the Day! Offered with brown or blue pants, this figure was a huge hit-- but do you want to get one nearly 10 years later? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s short. It\'s orange. It\'s not one of Mr. Wonka\'s employees, it\'s Figure of the Day! More specifically, it\'s R4-A22<\/b>, one of over two dozen Astromech droids that populate the Star Wars<\/i> toy universe. Why is this one in any way special, aside from its orange-ness?

It\'s time for a new Figure of the Day! Today we look at the very first Fan\'s Choice figure, Ellorrs Madak<\/b>! This Duro came out in 2001, and sat in some stores as late as 2005. Is this a sign of a bad toy, or just a sign that fans don\'t know a good figure when they see it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today, Figure of the Day explores one of the Ugnaughts<\/b> from 1998. These little quasi-Oompah Loompahs toiled in Bespin\'s Cloud City and generally made pigs of themselves. Why would you want to bring them into your collection? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today, we focus on a recent corner of the Expanded Universe in Figure of the Day<\/i> with Asajj Ventress<\/b>, would-be Sith Vixen and apprentice to Count Dooku. While your interpretation of her ultimate fate will vary based on what games, comics, or cartoons you watch, you\'ll no doubt appreciate this first-crack at the character as an action figure from 2003. With a removable cloak, two sabers, and holsters, is this the best figure, or just a good-enough Asajj to add to your collection? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today, we turn to another Revenge of the Sith<\/i> figure for Figure of the Day, last year\'s Luke Skywalker with Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b>, an oddly named Wal-Mart exclusive set that\'s basically a figure you have already with a baby. Is it worth tracking down? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

After 30 days, it seemed only fair to tackle the newest version of the very first prequel army builder-- Revenge of the Sith<\/i>\'s own Battle Droid<\/b>.

One of the all-time best figures that nobody paid attention to is Power of the Jedi<\/i>\'s own Boss Nass (Gungan Sacred Place)<\/b>. Sure, he isn\'t loaded with articulation, but just look at him! He\'s so happy! (He\'s happy because there\'s another Gungan coming out this year.) Could this be one of the most dramatic upgrades of a figure in recent memory? Find out, read on!<\/span> <\/a>
