Today in Figure of the Day, we celebrate summer\'s rapidly approaching end with a look at the Wampa<\/b>. Wait, that doesn\'t make any sense! It\'s 110 degrees in the shade and we\'re looking at a snow monster? Who determines this sort of thing? Oh well. Just read on and think about cooler times.<\/span> <\/a>

Big aliens are always cool, right? Well, sometimes. The Mustafar Sentry<\/b> has a decent amount of articulation but the design is, well, less than stellar. Sure, it\'s from a good part of the saga, and yeah, it\'s the only version of this creature available as a toy. But is that enough to make it interesting? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a figure that came from an assortment that served as a prototype for what would eventually be known as Saga Legends. This R2-D2<\/b> was a repackaged redeco with a display stand, a figure just different enough from other releases that you knew you had to go out and get one. Of course, that was in 2003-- how does the figure look in 2007? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Hey kids, do you like old men in dresses? You\'re gonna love Chancellor Palpatine<\/b>, then! In today\'s Figure of the Day, we look at this 2005 figure which has a good likeness, an excellent sculpt, and totally appropriate articulation. Since he hasn\'t been available for a while, should you go run out and track one down? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

He\'s pudgy, eyeless, and topfree. (We\'d say \"topless\" but that doesn\'t sound as classy.) Droopy McCool<\/b> was one of the members of Max Rebo\'s band in both major incarnations, and he comes with a delightful intergalactic clarinet thing. He\'s also going to see a reissue soon-- so should you get it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

He\'s got a new hat! (And flying wings!) This version of Watto<\/b> was specific to Episode II<\/i>, but it added a lot of nice little details like his cap and a clear \"flight\" stand to make it look like he can hover. Is this enough to make it worth buying yet another Watto figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Since his introduction, Lando Calrissian<\/b> has developed a cult of personality, with loads of collectors lining up to buy his figure. The first modern release was an instant collectible due to short-shipping issues, and newer versions just get better and better. So how did this \"General Calrissian\" version turn out?

Hail, birdbot! From Star Tours<\/i>, this figure of SK-Z38<\/b> was delayed for some retooling, and the end result was a sort of floppy figure that you probably don\'t want. Read on about how you don\'t want it in today\'s Figure of the Day!<\/span> <\/a>

You\'ve seen something new-- now let\'s look at something old. From 1999, this Anakin Skywalker<\/b> figure represents the youngster as a Jedi-in-training, and he had but a few seconds of screen time. In Figure of the Day, we look at this (so far) one-time-only release which included a communicator and a cloak. Is it worth snagging? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of the first-ever Battle Droid<\/b> action figures! It was one of the first figures to have ten points of articulation, it had a gun you could plug into its backpack, and it was generally quite cool. Is it cool enough to go buy now? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Not content to be just another pilot, Dutch Vander<\/b> is an action figure that has become the basis for neatly all Rebel pilot action figures since 2004. He isn\'t super articulated, but he has a chinstrap. Should you care? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Now with jumping action! The iffy action feature of this Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b> is notable in that it\'s the first leaping Obi-Wan figure that doesn\'t require a separate platform to launch him a few inches into the air. It also has a pretty nice mix of soft goods and plastic. Is it enough for you to track down this as-of-yet-2005-only figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at a figure that has just recently been revamped. Luke Skywalker<\/b> in his Jedi apparel has been a fan favorite for quite some time, although the accuracy and quality of the figures are often the subject of much discussion. This is the first modern mold of the figure from 1996-- so how good is it several years and figures later? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

General Rieekan<\/b> was a failed Fan\'s Choice winner before coming out in 2003 with a giant viewscreen. In today\'s Figure of the Day, we examine if this figure is worth he original asking price of $10, or if you should get the 2006 version minus the screen? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Hasbro just can\'t crank out enough varieties of the Battle Droid<\/b> to satisfy the demand, and special releases like this \"boomer damage\" version are extra cool due to snap-on energy bolts. The figure itself is nothing to sneeze at, either, so maybe you should consider buying a whole bunch of this one. Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Hasbro had no shortage of Wookiee figures in 2005, from Chewbacca and Tarfful to what ended up being about five different generic figures. Take this Wookiee Commando<\/b>, for example-- it\'s an old figure with new paint and a loincloth. For a troop builder, that\'s a pretty significant upgrade. Is it significant enough to buy a box of them? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

In 1982, he was one of the last bounty hunters to get made. In 1998, he was<\/i> the last bounty hunter to get remade-- and in 2007, Zuckuss<\/b> is the only bounty hunter to not get at least one complete modern resculpt in the modern line. So how does the guy hold up? Should you get this one, or hold off until Hasbro eventually remakes it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Action figure + joystick = yes? Mace Windu<\/b> has had very few changes of costume, but tons of action figures. To keep things interesting, Hasbro added features like this unique-to-him (so far) \"total control\" feature which allows previously unseen dueling poses through the use of a metal rod and flexible plastic arms. Is it cool? Or just another goofy gimmick? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Mon Mothma<\/b>. In 1998, we were shocked to see this figure made. Shocked. And now, well, the short attention span of fandom is focused elsewhere, although it\'s worth pointing out that the figure is actually pretty good. How good? Read Figure of the Day and find out.<\/span> <\/a>

He\'s a little short for a Jedi, but that\'s OK-- if he was taller, you wouldn\'t want one. Jempa<\/b> is one of three Jedi padawan figures released in 2003, and he has a helmet and lightsaber to accompany him on his adventures in schooling.

There was once a time where Hasbro taking an existing figure, changing the accessories, and making no additional changes before reissuing it seemed unlikely. But this Anakin Skywalker<\/b> took a figure you already bought, added a helmet and a flight yoke, and called it something new. Was it worth it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

How do you spell excitement? I can tell you how you don\'t spell it-- Mas Amedda<\/b>. There\'s not a lot of action to this figure, but as you\'ll see in today\'s Figure of the Day, there\'s quite a bit of articulation plus a removable tongue accessory. (You don\'t see that every day.)

While not all of the early modern Star Wars<\/i> figures have held up over the past decade, some remain shining beacons of pure awesome. Take Emperor Palpatine<\/b>, the subject of today\'s Figure of the Day. Sure, he\'s basically a statue, but he\'s a good one. The sculpt is decent, the robes are well designed, and there\'s no ghastly oversized hood. This last part is key. So why get this figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>
