Can\'t get enough of Natalie Portman? Today in Figure of the Day, we look at yet another Padme Amidala<\/b> figure based on the Episode II arena\/droid factory sequences, which I believe currently has at least 3 figures. So how is this one? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Some figures are legends because they\'re awesome. Others mooch of the legendary status of their ancestors, like Saelt-Marae<\/b>, better known to you and me as Yak Face. He\'s tall, he has whiskers, and a bright orange coat thing. So should you track down this big bugger from 1997? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

In the wake of the massive influx of new product, it\'s time to take a look back to 1995. Simpsons was only on the air for about six years. Seinfeld amused fans every week. And we didn\'t know enough about Star Trek: Voyager<\/I> to roll our eyes at it yet. Oh yeah-- and the new Star Wars<\/i> figures came out, like this first modern Darth Vader<\/b>. He was beefy. He was somewhat stylized. But he could sit, and had everything a good action figure of his day needed to be an adequate plaything. Over 12 years and 20 revisions later, how does this classic stack up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

I\'ve been told that if you light up a smoke, you\'ll never go broke, and be the most popular kid in school. But Dannik Jerriko<\/b> doesn\'t look all that cool. Sure, the figure\'s nice-- but this is one ugly, ugly man with a drinking problem. So how does the figure rate? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

As the origin of Clone Troopers and a bounty hunter, Jango Fett<\/b> is a popular character. Surprisingly, he\'s a popular character that hasn\'t had a figure with an all-new sculpt since 2002-- and this late 2006 entry is no exception. Mixing bits of one figure with other bits from another, the end result is a figure that\'s somewhat pleasing to collectors but still not entirely perfect. So should you get this one in your quest to pick up all 85 or so 30th Anniversary Collection figures on the market today? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Could this be the best Stormtrooper<\/b> ever? From the recently released Capture of Tantive IV<\/i> Battle Pack, these figures come two to a box, and you\'ll probably want a lot more than that. The set is a great price, so if you haven\'t bought one yet, should you go get a few now? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Who loves droids? We sure do. Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a Battle Droid<\/b>, specifically one that was packaged wit a tiny tank vehicle. As the only blue \"Pilot\" droid, is it worth your while to track down? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a Clone Trooper<\/b>. Yes, another one. We\'re probably scraping 100 varieties between the commanders, repaints, various molds, and so forth-- so why would you want this yellow one? Well, read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, our juggernaut of new news screeches to a halt with a look at the repack-with-new-parts Anakin Skywalker<\/b> figure from 2006. It\'s good-- but is a new cloak and a nice new box enough to warrant your buying this action feature-filled action figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

There aren\'t enough Generals in Star Wars<\/i>. (And certainly not enough action figures of them.) Which is why we\'re glad Hasbro made General Jan Dodonna<\/b> in 2004-- it\'s an old guy, he\'s got a high rank, and he\'s a figure from a 1977 movie that nobody really expected to see in the short term. And yet, here he is-- is he worth buying, now that you have to track him down on the secondary market? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Can anybody get enough of Han Solo<\/b>? We certainly can\'t. And that\'s one of the reasons this figure was so neat-- you barely even realize that it appeared in the movies, but hey, there it was. With the AT-ST Driver costume, the figure gets a whole extra dimension of play, but is it enough to buy yet another Han figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

He\'s got a funny name! From the Jedi Council Screen Scene packs, Oppo Rancisis<\/b> can\'t do much. Sure, he looks cool, but can you get him to do much aside from sitting there? Probably not. Take a look at this unique character-- read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of the two very unique Rebel Trooper<\/b> action figures offered on individual packages in 2006. This one has communications gear, and would be right at home in the Millennium Falcon<\/i>-- so should you get it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Who loves General Grievous<\/b>? We do. But as you can see in today\'s Figure of the Day, our affection for this freaky cyborg doesn\'t mean that all of his action figures are any good. This one we especially don\'t care for. Want to find out why? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Since Darth Maul<\/b> was dispatched fairly quickly, Hasbro and the designers had to come up with clever ways to make new versions of a figure with essentially one and a half outfits. This armored release was one such attempt-- so how did it turn out? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the very first Clone Trooper<\/b> action figure from way back in 2002. With only six points of articulation and an action pose, it really wasn\'t the best start for what would become one of the most popular sub-collections in Star Wars<\/i>, but fans still snapped them up. What did we see in these white troopers? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the pilot\/armored version of Saesee Tiin<\/b> from Clone Wars<\/i>. (Although it\'s not the way he looked in the cartoon.) With soft goods, a pilot\'s communication gear, and more, this figure should have everything you\'d need to pilot a starfighter-- but does it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

He\'s half the man he used to be. Today in Figure of the Day, we look at everybody\'s favorite bisected villain, Darth Maul<\/b> from the 2000 Power of the Jedi<\/i> line. With a magnet in his gut and a pretty good sculpt, could this be a figure worth adding to your collection for its unique action feature? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at Senator Ask Aak<\/b> from Revenge of the Sith<\/i>. As the second modern Gran figure, the folks at Hasbro managed to get a lot of additional detail work in what most assumed would be a pretty typical figure. So even though he has little screen time, should you pick one up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a figure based on an amusing cameo. Lt. Dannl Faytonni<\/b> is one of two figures based on the same sculpt, with different heads. Since this figure is the actor who played C-3PO, but outside the suit, shouldn\'t you pick this one up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the Power of the Jedi<\/i> Coruscant Guard<\/b>, which looks vaguely Greek in some elements and a lot like the Royal Guard in others. With a big feathery helmet and a bigger gun, could this be a figure you just gotta have? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Back when I was a kid, I was absolutely crazy over anything relating to the Max Rebo band, so you can guess I was quite excited to hear that Kenner was doing a new version in 1998. Of course, there were some changes-- alongside the vastly improved Max Rebo and Droopy McCool, a very different Sy Snootles<\/b> hit stores, and then there was a lot of arguing all over the Internet. So what\'s the fuss over? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Who loves wacky figures? If the answer is me, and by me, I mean you, today\'s Figure of the Day is something special. We look at the Covert Ops Clone Trooper<\/b>, a particularly colorful design with unusual purple and grey camo. It cost a lot, it was an exclusive, and it sold out (several times) as credit cards were declined, approved, and declined again at the Fan Club. So now that we\'re removed nearly two years from its release, how does this super poseable figure stack up? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

\"But he\'s got a new hat!\" This Luke Skywalker<\/b> is considered to be one of the line\'s greatest jokes, even though it was a pretty decent figure overall. Today in Figure of the Day, we look at this unique release and why added articulation and more accessories didn\'t save this figure from being the butt of jokes for a couple of years.

When fans say they want Expanded Universe figures, they don\'t mean Luke in a new vest or Han with a fancy hat-- they mean big characters like Kyle Katarn<\/b>, as seen here from the 1998 assortments of the non-movie characters. With two guns, a great backdrop, and a vague resemblance to George Lucas, could this be the next figure you just have to track down for your collection? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Hasbro celebrated 300 action figures with a new Boba Fett. We celebrate 300 installments of this column with a look at 8D8<\/b>, a figure which, interestingly enough, can still be bought at a drug store near one of my favorite pizza places-- and the figure stopped shipping around late 1998.
