Names are for the weak! The Nikto Jedi Knight<\/b> is pure generic awesome. Hasbro opted to leave the descriptive monniker in, which is very 1983 of them. With limited articulation and nifty weapons, should you go buy this one? Or the Toys \"R\" Us exclusive variant which would come later? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

450! What a milestone for Figure of the Day! We celebrate this almost-500 mark with Yoda<\/b>. Wow, another Yoda. Hasbro can\'t make enough of those, can they? Despite the large amount of Yodas, some of them manage to be new, different, and dare I say it, exciting. Is this one of those figures? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

We end this rapid-fire FOTD<\/i> update with a look at Commander Bow<\/b>, a blue 501st-themed Clone Trooper which you should have bought earlier this year. It\'s entirely possible you missed out on it-- should you cry over this? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

From Sith Lords to bad kitties, the line is filled with unique baddies. It also has nifty droids like today\'s Figure of the Day, the benevolent K-3PO<\/b>. Is it OK, or just a cheapo repaint? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Oh, let\'s go to the next one-- it\'s the Nexu<\/b>! In 2002, this jaw-snapping kitty was quite the hit, and Hasbro had the foresight to bring it back as part of a big Toys \"R\" Us exclusive set this year. Should this Jurassic Park 3<\/i>-esque critter be added to your collection? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

In the shadows of Comic-Con, there was a tragic happening: my server locked me out of the FOTD files I uploaded. As such, you\'re going to have to choke down a lot of Figure of the Day in a hurry, starting with Darth Vader<\/b>, a once-super-spiffy POTF2-era figure back from the ancient times where there were but a mere 3 Star Wars<\/i> films. Blah blah read on.<\/span> <\/a>

Ten years ago, the subject of today\'s Figure of the Day made up half of the hottest ticket around. Bespin Han Solo<\/b> was a great figure in 1997, as it had an improved sculpt over previous modern Han Solo figures and was the first modern release of the Bespin Jacket. Is it worth getting now that we\'ve had a few revisions? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Fans want more female figures-- so why not look at Greeata<\/b>? This dancing Rodian came in a Cinema Scene set from 1998, and she\'s today\'s Figure of the Day! With six joints and a lot of bumpy green skin, she\'s a fanboy\'s dream, right? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a Sandtrooper<\/b> specifically designed from the Special Editions. Why? Because he has a unique droid. He\'s also really beefy. Does one feature make the figure cool enough to distract you from the fact that the figure is a little, well, antiquated? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Nothing says fun like a space princess in snow boots. In today\'s Figure of the Day, we look at a unique Princess Leia<\/b> figure from a Toys \"R\" Us exclusive box set. As a mix of old parts, could this figure be worth tracking down, now that she\'s a little bit shorter? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Do you like Holographic Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b>? Sure you do-- and so does Hasbro, as they\'re milking this mold for everything it\'s worth. With a blue robe, good accessories, and the best articulation in the line, why haven\'t you bought this figure yet? Is it because you\'re lazy? Or perhaps too cheap? Or do you have something against Star Wars<\/i> figures in smurflike colors? Read on to find out what\'s wrong with you.<\/span> <\/a>

In Figure of the Day today, we have a figure you won\'t recognize because he\'s not wearing his hat. (Actually, you won\'t recognize him because odds are you have better things to do than memorize all the Imperials like I do.) Chief Bast<\/b> is one of many Imperials from earlier this year, and he\'s a mix of new and old parts. Blah blah blah read on blah.<\/span> <\/a>

With so many characters in the films, it only makes sense to do make a few kids once in a while, and Hasbro did just that with Ashla<\/b>. A member of the same species as Shaak Ti, this Padawan is decked out with a helmet and a lightsaber. Has her training prepared her for the rigors of being a collectible? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we\'re going to look at the Scout Trooper<\/b> from the tin last year. As one of Hasbro\'s finer efforts, the figure is quite nicely designed, with loads of articulation and, of course, the popular flip-out helmet. If you got the vintage version from 2006, is it worth getting this one too? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Who likes Rebel Pilots? If you do, you should totally check out Zev Senesca<\/b> from last year. With lots of new pieces, this is the first significant new \"modern\" Hoth Pilot sculpt in almost 10 years. It also comes with a Snowspeeder. Is it worth it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

When you\'re looking for excitement, you need look no further than Elan Sleazebaggano<\/b>, a figure which I\'m kinda surprised actually came out. Not only did it come out, but there are two unique molds for the head. That\'s more effort than you see given to other, far more interesting characters. Still, with things like big accessories, a working holster, and drugs<\/i>, could this figure be just what you need to class up your collection? Read on in today\'s Figure of the Day!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of the two flavors of Vulture Droid<\/b> from 2005. This is the more colorful of the two. With limited articulation, it\'s an oddity as it\'s a vehicle sold as a figure. So which is it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

2006 was riddled with repaints. Some weren\'t a very big deal, but some did improve the overall look of the figure-- take General Grievous<\/b>, which took a 2005 movie figure and painted it up to look a little more like what we\'ve come to love from the cartoons and the movie. Even though the mold is old, does the new packaging and paint job warrant a re-purchase? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

What could be more fun than a baby? That\'s what Hasbro asked in 2005 with the Wal-Mart exclusive Leia Organa with Bail Organa<\/b>, which means she\'s basically an accessory, but hers is the larger name on the package.

While collectors are often big fans of Natalie Portman toys, sadly, sales of action figures don\'t always reflect this. Padmé<\/b> had a drab outfit and was pregnant, so maybe that had something to do with it. Plus she\'s been sold pretty much since 2005 with figures still on the racks in some stores.

The Desert Sniper edition from 2000 is more in line with modern standards than the other releases which came from 1996 and 1998, bringing better sculpting and incorporating some of the redesigned elements from Episode I<\/i>.
