Fans say they loved the Unleashed<\/i> line, but sales of figures like this pretty spiffy General Grievous<\/b> seemed to indicate otherwise. While they weren\'t one of Hasbro\'s best business ventures, they were one of the most beloved sub-lines the Rhode Island manufacturer cranked out. So what is it like to own a statue at an action figure price? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s a creature! We never really got a good look at the Dragonsnake<\/b> until the good people at Chronicle Books put out a lavish tome with the creatures of the first four films, but hey, at least it makes a nice toy. In today\'s Figure of the Day, we look at this beastly creature which seems to be just a smidgen too small. Is it worth it anyway? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

What has one point of articulation, falls apart if you look at it funny, and is functioning entirely within design parameters? Why, it\'s the Battle Droid<\/b> packaged with the Theed Hangar Playset, and it\'s today\'s Figure of the Day. On paper, it sucks. In reality... well, read on!<\/span> <\/a>

I had a good run this afternoon! Target stores are starting to receive their Order 66<\/b> Series 2 sets, meaning that the street date rumor you\'ve been hearing may not be entirely true. Click through for a look at all 12 figures, including a surprise Hasbro hid in the cloaks of some of the Jedi.<\/span> <\/a>

Who likes Jedi? If you do, you may enjoy today\'s Figure of the Day. We look at what must\'ve been some sort of contractual obligation with Depa Billaba<\/b>, a figure who doesn\'t do much of anything but just stand there. She can\'t sit in a chair, she doesn\'t have a lightsaber. There\'s no action in this figure-- so why did fans pick her up anyway? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

When I first saw the subject of today\'s Figure of the Day back in 2004, I honestly believed this line would have the potential to knock out Hasbro\'s action figures as the #1 most favored line with collectors. Well, I was wrong. This was the first-ever Bust-Ups release, a Clone Trooper<\/b> from the sequel to the prequel. Is it worth overpaying for? It is, after all, hard to get. Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, it\'s Darth Vader<\/b>! But it\'s not just any Vader, nosiree! This is arguably the best Hasbro has done so far. Sure, there are things other figures do better, but this one is the best that money can buy as of today, and-- what luck!-- Hasbro reissued it a couple of months back. So just how good is this figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today it\'s time for a little Jawa<\/b> action. As the most articulated Jawa action figure-- or perhaps Jawa collectible-- ever<\/i>, this 2007 figure is quite impressive. It also (finally!) lacks the light-up eyeport and just has brightly painted yellow eyes instead. If you want to know if it\'s the best Jawa ever, read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, it\'s Princess Leia<\/b> from the infamous (and for the time, fantastic) Mynock Hunt set! She has a breathing mask (great if you\'re in to that sort of thing) and snow pants (great if you\'re in to that<\/i> sort of thing). The figure holds up fairly well for an item ten years old, but should you get one anyway? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

We don\'t have an Easter Bunny in today\'s Figure of the Day, but if you like rodents, we have the next best thing. In name only. Mouse<\/b> was released recently as a retooled Stormtrooper based on the cover of a Dark Horse comic book. It\'s the first-ever alien in Stormtrooper disguise, which is on one hand pretty cool and on the other, may set a dangerous precedent which will lead to fifty more figures in disguise. But for now, it\'s pretty neat-- but should you get it? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we\'re going to look at the green version of Governor Tarkin<\/b> (that\'s what it said on the box) from last year. It takes the 2005 prequel sculpt, paints it green, and the end result? Marvel-tastic. Read on to see if it\'s worth adding to your collection.<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we turn back the clock to 1996 to look at a figure that wasn\'t really all that great back then. The Tusken Raider<\/b> wasn\'t beefy like a lot of the figures of 12 years ago, but his iffy hands and lacking articulation haven\'t done much to help him age gracefully. Read on to see what a decade and change did to one of the first aliens in the modern line!<\/span> <\/a>

Who\'s up for something new? Today in Figure of the Day, we turn our eye on the somewhat neat-- but slightly more goofy-- Darth Bane<\/b>. He has a big mask, much like Lord Zedd, only more yellow. He has a big collar on his cape, like a vampire, only more so. He\'s also violently bald. As part of a new three figure set, could he be the next plastic apple of your eye? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

You\'ve enjoyed lobstermen, now enjoy a lobsterman in a dress! Meena Tills<\/b> came out later in the Revenge of the Sith<\/i> toy run to meet our alien quota. The figure doesn\'t have much going on from the waist down (insert joke here), but the articulation in the arms isn\'t bad and the sculpt is pretty great.

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at Captain Panaka<\/b>. Fans didn\'t flock to this one, but it\'s a really good figure, especially for nearly 10 years ago. It\'s not up to today\'s standards in articulation, but still, would you believe it\'s worth a look? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Every now and again a figure comes along and you have to look at it and squint. \"Do I have this one?\" you ask. It can be really hard to tell, because figures like this Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b> are made of entirely existing parts, but are put into a new configuration which may leave your scratching your head. So is this a keeper, or something that you might toss in a junk drawer? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Mandies, Mandies, Mandies! In 2006, Hasbro made sure that if you wanted a Mandalorian that you had plenty of options-- like this exclusive Llats Ward<\/b> figure, which is a Boba Fett retool\/redeco with a removable helmet.

In another \"would you believe people loved this one?\" entry of Figure of the Day, we look at Senator Palpatine<\/b> from way back in 1999. While we can easily pick apart the figure\'s flaws today, in 1999, it was awesome. He had a great (at the time) likeness, an incredible (at the time) costume, and a nifty gimmick which actually made good use of his CommTech Chip. Sure, he was a weak seller-- but did that mean he was a bad figure? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of Hasbro\'s recent successes (to we collector folk) with Tycho Celchu<\/b>, an A-Wing pilot. While it may seem odd that Hasbro would put out a carded A-Wing pilot despite never having sold an A-Wing vehicle without a pilot, there\'s no ignoring the fact that this is one excellent action figure.

After looking at some of Hasbro\'s latest and greatest, why not flash back to one of Kenner\'s lesser figures of the 1990s? Dengar<\/b> was a hugely requested character due to the general popularity of bounty hunters, but the end results were... well... not great.

Today in Figure of the Day we look at the first new Darth Vader<\/b> figure in ages where fans don\'t have to ask \"wait, don\'t I already have this one?\" The holographic version is obviously different because it\'s bright clear blue instead of black. Hasbro really dragged their feet on making this one, even newcomer Funko introduced a holographic Darth Vader in their bobble line before Hasbro made their action figure. So was it worth the wait?

Today we look at a figure that came out of a great brainstorming session, but whose origins as a character were a little recent. Pax Bonkik<\/b> is a Greedo redeco born of fan fiction. Maybe you approve of this. Maybe you don\'t. But you can\'t deny that Hasbro did a stellar job painting this guy. While he isn\'t 100% authentic to the movie, he\'s pretty great. I like mine.

Ask and ye shall receive! You asked for vehicles, so today we\'ve got General Grievous\' Starfighter<\/b> in the increasingly poorly named Figure of the Day! This new vehicle hit last month and it turns out it\'s well worth the wait. Hasbro designed it to have a spacious interior and wonderful action features.

As basically the central character of the entire freaking series, it\'s a pretty good thing that Hasbro keeps finding new and different ways to make Anakin Skywalker<\/b> as a toy. This one was based on their initial Clone Wars<\/i> concept from 2003, which, obviously, was never really used anywhere outside the toy line. Several other Clone Wars<\/i> specific releases were produced, but this being the first, you might want to consider picking this one up. Or maybe not, as he\'s covered with weird gear.
