Join the band! Umpass-Stay<\/b> did in 1997, but he didn\'t get his action figure until 2007. Is he a worthy addition to Jabba\'s entourage, or just another skiff guard moonlighting as a musician? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Speaking of Comic-Con, it\'s McQuarrie Concept Luke Skywalker<\/b>! Or Deak Starkiller-- whichever. This was a hugely popular summer convention exclusive last year, and today, people still want it. Does that mean they all have good taste? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

If you haven\'t already picked up a Clone Trooper<\/b> from the new Clone Wars<\/i> line, you probably should. With enhanced wrist articulation and-- as far as I can tell-- unique damage on every figure, it\'s a can\'t-miss addition to any collection. So if you don\'t want to see something good, don\'t click through on Figure of the Day!<\/span> <\/a>

In the midst of the greatest onslaught of big toys and big clones ever, let\'s look at Captain Tarpals<\/b>. Despite the fact you likely will not want to read about him, he\'s not a terrible figure-- for 1999, his paint job was pretty impressive. Sure, the articulation wasn\'t great, but there\'s a reason I\'m writing about him in the midst of this news typhoon. Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Looking for a Jedi lady? Look no further than Shaak Ti<\/b>! More a statue than an action figure, this release was the first for the pink Jedi. Sure, she couldn\'t stand too well, but she was cool, right? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

In the real<\/i> real Figure of the Day, we look at Biggs Darklighter<\/b> from 1998. Yes, it\'s old. But it\'s an institution! For years, Biggs\' body provided the basis for nearly every non-Luke pilot figure for years. Did Hasbro do good with this one? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we\'re going to look back. While you\'re getting excited about the new build-a-droids, AT-TEs, and other new releases, I\'m going to wallow in the muck of another one of the worst figures in the line. Arguably the worst Luke Skywalker<\/b> figure ever<\/i>, this 2003 release was bad before it came out, and it\'s worse today. He\'s got an angry face, a goofy pose, but surprisingly good arms. Should you get this one? No. But read on all the same.<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, let\'s look at one of Padme\'s little buddies. It\'s Rabé<\/b>, and her name only looks like a serious crime! With a bright orange costume, she looks a little goofy, but it\'s pretty authentic. Should you get a few and use them as Padmé\'s posse? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Do you like things that are big and red and don\'t move a lot? You\'ll love this Royal Guard<\/b>, then. From 1997, it\'s tall, it\'s light on detail, and it\'s basically a bowling pin. Should you use it in your dioramas? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at another Qui-Gon Jinn<\/b>. This \"Naboo\" version is actually really good-- even today, nearly 10 years after its release. While some have bad face paint, others look great. (History, as you see, repeats itself.) Is this worth adding to your collection? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s Luke! But it isn\'t. Lt. Jundland<\/b> is essentially Luke in an Imperial Officer disguise, and it reuses the Admiral Ozzel mold. Is it worth picking up now that the assortment is just weeks from being refreshed? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at our 800th-- good God, has it been 800 consecutive days?-- installment. It\'s Darth Nihilus<\/b>, a great figure no matter where you come from as a collector. If you love video games, you might like this one-- and if you don\'t, it\'s so good, odds are you\'ll still like it. Read on for the gushing!<\/span> <\/a>

Every once in a while-- and it isn\'t very often-- fans come together and tell Kenner or Hasbro \"we all want this figure. Make it.\" Generally it\'s six guys here or a dozen there, but with Wuher<\/b>, the fan community got together and managed to get an e-petition with thousands<\/i> of signatures. That may not sound like much, but the average piece of internet fan \"slacktivism\" gets maybe a hundred views, and half as many signatures. So did we get what we wanted with Wuher?

With the new The Clone Wars<\/i> figures, we\'re seeing added wrist articulation, swappable heads, and other amazing features. None of these existed when Luke Skywalker in Endor Gear<\/b> was released, because at that point, jointed knees were considered pretty high-tech for this line. With specially designed weapons, the figure was great for its day. Read all about it!<\/span> <\/a>

Man oh man, was I excited when Yarua<\/b> came out. As the first movie Wookiee that wasn\'t Chewbacca, this senator was a welcome new addition to a line lacking in extremely tall walking carpets. How does this 2005 release stack up? Read on in Figure of the Day!<\/span> <\/a>

Back in 2002 when we were first being introduced to clone troopers, Hasbro treated us to a new Darth Vader<\/b> which looked pretty cool and came with a great big Bespin accessory. For five bucks, it was pretty amazing. How does it look six years later? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

One of Hasbro\'s worst figures ever<\/i> is the subject of today\'s Figure of the Day. When you make a nearly infinite number of figures based on a single costume, you\'d think there wouldn\'t be much variety. You would be wrong. This Anakin Skywalker<\/b> figure has, without exaggeration, the single goofiest facial expression you will find in the entire line<\/i>. I don\'t know why I\'m even bothering to go on, you just need to look at this one.<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at one of the first men we got to see Darth Vader kill-- yes, it\'s Captain Antilles<\/b>. Sure, he may look a little something like a famous child actor who can see dead people, but isn\'t there more to this figure than his dead-ness? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Who doesn\'t love droids? Hasbro decided to redo the hard-to-find R2-B1<\/b> late last year, and it proved so popular, they shipped it in early 2008. Based on the R4-G9 mold, it has improved articulation and a vibrant color palette. But like its 2000 ancestor, it\'s also colored oddly in the dome department and doesn\'t match the rest of the line. Should you go score one anyway? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Wouldn\'t it be great if your Jango Fett<\/b> figure had electronic sounds built in? That\'s the question Hasbro asked-- and answered-- for fans in 2002. The answer is \"well, uh, kinda.\" It\'s a new take on the character even for its time, as he had limited articulation and the largest jetpack you\'ll ever see. As a one-time release, how did it turn out? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>
