Today in Figure of the Day, we look at Tarkin<\/b> from Revenge of the Sith<\/i>. As a mold that\'s seeing two major redecorations in the period of about a month, how does the original one look now that we\'ve had it for about a year? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at Commander Gree<\/b>, because we love green. As a quickie repaint from 2005, this figure was quickly snapped up, and just about as quickly, complained about. Sure, it isn\'t exactly true to the movie-- or the picture on the box-- but does that mean it\'s a bad figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at yet another version of Wedge Antilles<\/b>, a character who, to date, has never had a body to call his own. Every version of him was based on another toy, and this one is no exception. Find out more when you read on.<\/span> <\/a>

One good Clone deserves another! The box calls it the Clone Trooper<\/b>, but you and I know this figure best as an ARC Trooper. In Figure of the Day, we examine this unique addition to the Clone Wars<\/i> series of toys. But do you need one-- or two-- or several? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

If there\'s one thing that your questions, requests, and purchasing habits prove, it\'s that you all love Clone Troopers. For example, in Figure of the Day today, we look at one of this year\'s finer new Clones, the Heavy Gunner Clone Trooper<\/b> is 100% post-consumer toys-- the gun\'s from G.I. Joe<\/i>, and the figure is made from a bunch of Revenge of the Sith<\/i> figures. If I told you it was awesome, would you think I\'m lying? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

One character in the saga that didn\'t have a lot of time to grow (and get tons of figures) was Qui-Gon Jinn<\/b>, although this specific figure, formerly hard-to-find, is everywhere now. After being released to stores in (relatively) limited numbers in the year 2000, this figure was reissued in two separate box sets (with slightly different accessories) in the last couple of months. Should you care about any of these releases? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

People have asked me \"what\'s the worst figure of all time?\" While hard to identify, it seems to me that it\'s this Holiday Edition Darth Vader<\/b>, a big red pile of suck that cost about $20 shipped if you ordered just one last holiday season. It\'s Darth Vader, but with red paint. Why anybody would get excited about this is beyond me, but for a lot of collectors it was the figure that cured them of wanting to collect them all. Could it really be that bad? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the transforming Emperor Palpatine<\/b> from 2005. It has light-up hands and \"changing\" faces, making it a unique toy that tries to be fun. Does it succeed? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s cold and unpleasant this time of year, so let\'s look at a figure that\'s also cold and unpleasant! Today\'s Figure of the Day looks at Darth Vader (Final Jedi Duel)<\/b> from the classic 3-pack that everybody loves so much. With not-so-hot articulation, this figure was repainted as at least two more \"special\" figures-- but how\'s the original? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the 1999 CommTech Stormtrooper<\/b>-- you know, the one that gets a blast mark when it gets cold. (Like in December.) How does it hold up to newer, more modern sculpts? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

As some of you whittle down your remaining moments before a brief holiday break, how about reading a Figure of the Day? Today, we examine Bail Organa<\/b> in all his quasi-toga grey glory. What might you be missing if you passed on him last year? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s been issued twice, so odds are you can\'t miss it. Zett Jukassa<\/b> is a young Jedi who gets shot by a bunch of Clones, but is probably more famous for being played by George Lucas\' son. Click through to see how this action figure turned out.<\/span> <\/a>

Figures come and figures go, but some figures are rendered obsolete by time. Like R2-D2<\/b>, which came with a Dagobah-specific X-wing in 2002... and we just got a new one this year, with a new Dagobah-specfic R2-D2 in 2004. (Another is coming in 2007.) So... how does this R2-D2 rate? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we know we\'re competing for your attention with a new Hasbro Q&A and some other news bits which we haven\'t posted yet. So we need to make sure the momentum continues with the exciting Jar Jar Binks<\/b> from Tatooine. This is the one with the little Pit Droid and the tongue that sticks out, and arguably best captures the Gungan\'s personality. Odds are you\'ve already clicked away to another site by now, but if you\'re still with me, read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Over the years, a lot of figures were made because someone thought it was funny, and someone thought it would be funny to take the Biggs sculpt, make it fatter, and call it Jek Porkins<\/b>. From many moons ago, this figure had one of the first (and best) removable pilot helmets, and today, like most figures made mostly as a joke, he sells for less than his original cost on eBay. But does that mean now is the perfect time to buy one? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

In case you haven\'t guessed by now, I\'m quite keen on droids, and today in Figure of the Day we look at one of my favorites. R2-Q2<\/b> is small, grey, and pretty recognizable, as awesomely obscure droids with no dialogue and under a minute of screen time go. Should you go order one from the interwebs?

In the past weeks, we\'ve had confirmation of a concept version and very noisy rumors regarding one based on the Droids<\/i> and Holiday Special animated versions. Of course, it\'s the perfect time to look back at \"the best figure ever\" as of 1995, Boba Fett<\/b>. If you were collecting back then, this was the best thing to happen in the history of ever. And now, 11 years later, he\'s looking a little less awesome. Read on to see what you might have missed.<\/span> <\/a>

Our look at Troopers continues with the newest Snowtrooper<\/b>, the first ever with a removable helmet. Nothing is more freaky than a Snowtrooper with its mask off, as you can see in today\'s Figure of the Day. The head sculpt is good, the idea is sound, and the sculpt... well, you\'ll need to read on to find out.<\/span> <\/a>

Arguably, this was the most beloved figure of 2006. The Biker Scout<\/b> is the subject of today\'s Figure of the Day, and the figure was nicely poseable and has already been developed into two more figures, what with the Yoda Elite Trooper and the flip-up visor Scout Trooper from the tin. So is the \"classic\" all-new version of the Biker Scout worth buying, assuming you didn\'t already pick up 20 of them? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Few figures can boast a tag like \"because you demanded it\" like R5-D4<\/b>. Since 1996, fans hated the rocket firing version, and in Figure of the Day, we look at the revised release that supposedly would make everything better. Would it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

From 2005 to 2006, someone at Target or Hasbro or something decided that \"flame reflection\" (or \"on fire\") was a real good idea for a theme for overpriced exclusive figures. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b> here, which I recently snagged for about two bucks. Is it worth the two bucks? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Unlike a lot of Figure of the Day entries, you can actually go out and buy this one. (For as little as $3.50 if you play your cards right. But I digress.) This new version of C-3PO<\/b> has jointed knees and a throne-- sure, the throne is flimsy and there really aren\'t any good Ewoks to carry it around, but how about the figure-- is he any good?

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at yet another version of Chewbacca (Mynock Hunt)<\/b>, this time from 2003. He\'s got a mask you can\'t remove, a big firing red missile, and an awkward pose with extra articulation that really doesn\'t help much. So should you buy him or what? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

What? Another Yoda<\/b>? Yup. Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of the \"final\" figures of 2002, when Hasbro retooled and repainted the Episode I<\/i> Yoda into this magnetic version with his own little throne porta-potty thing there.

Today in Figure of the Day, the column takes one for the team with the fairly awful Han Solo with Smuggler Flight Pack<\/b>. In 1996, Kenner said \"let\'s take a figure and charge twice as much for it when we add a big accessory.\" Fans were not pleased with this notion of \"added value,\" as you will no doubt see when you read on.<\/span> <\/a>
