The first modern attempt at the TIE Fighter Pilot<\/b> was so good, the same basic body kept being used long after a resculpt came out. Fans liked it then, and while they prefer the newer one, this version was pretty good for its day. How good? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, it\'s the first ever General Grievous Bodyguard<\/b> action figure from 2005. Squeeze his legs and he will fight you! Is this enough to warrant a small army? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

This R2-D2<\/b> was a long time coming. The little guy with energy bolts all over him and his panels flung out seemed like a no-brainer, but it took about 25 years to make the transition into plastic. How does he work as a toy, now that you can get one? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today in Figure of the Day, we look at the brand-new just-released Young Padawan Girl<\/b> from the Star Tours<\/i>-exclusive Jedi Training Academy set. While it may not provide the bang for the buck you might want, the quality of the head sculpt is absolutely here and those wanting some generic human Jedi figures are going to want this set. We start with this girl-- how is she? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

While not a huge seller, Orn Free Taa<\/b> was certainly very large-- the largest Twi\'lek so far! He has a fair amount of articulation and detail, and was a highlight in late 2002. Of course, he hit a few clearance racks and closeout bins. But don\'t you want to know why he\'s cool? Sure you do. Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

My stats tell me you didn\'t like yesterday\'s column. You won\'t like today\'s either. This Darth Tyranus<\/b> (that\'s what it says on the box) came with a bike, and off the bike he\'s a little wonky. How wonky? Well, read on!<\/span> <\/a>

The first modern Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard)<\/b> was freaking amazing in 1997. Hasbro figured out how to make it look good and keep both hands on the pike without adding in extra articulation, plus the deco kicked the snot out of the vintage figure-- which itself was really good. But how is it in 2009? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

So, what do you want to know about this week? Apparently, how many KOTOR-era figures there are<\/b>, if there\'s a new collectible book<\/b> on the horizon, yet another zany playset scheme<\/b>, and much more. Read on for all this, and what my advice is to anyone out there who absolutely must have playsets in order to survive on this planet.<\/span> <\/a>

Oh, Obi-Wan Kenobi<\/b>. You are not a terrible figure, Hasbro just made way too many of you. Your hard plastic robes are pretty striking, and the lightsaber from Qui-Gon Jinn? An excellent choice. But you are old now, Mr. Kenobi, and after nine years, how good could you be?<\/span> <\/a>

It\'s the first (of two) Zam Wesell<\/b> figures! This one doesn\'t have action features, but it was released before the movie-- which made it pretty cool. Actually, that entire sneak peek wave was pretty sweet. But is she swell enough? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Man oh man, who ever expected that Hasbro would actually make Ki-Adi-Mundi<\/b> in his really cool hat? With the breathing mask, to boot? I sure didn\'t, and here it is. Aren\'t we lucky? I think so. Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Today, it\'s Boba Fett<\/b>! Arguably the best-overall Fett based on The Empire Strikes Back<\/i>, this figure is presently only available in an Evolutions set. Is it worth buying for just Boba? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

You know how we all knocked the Target exclusive Sarlacc Pit set for having no new figures? We were wrong. The Weequay<\/b> has a unique paint job, making it the third one for this mold. Any good? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Do you like droids that destroy things? Perhaps this Destroyer Droid<\/b> will do it for you. It\'s from the current animated series, and its stylized appearance really does set it apart from the many, many other versions of the automated menace. Does it have the features to stack up, or does it just suck? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>

Can you ever get enough of Ponda Baba<\/b>? Yes. This figure is one of three releases made off of the same basic design, and the weakest of them all. He can\'t really sit, but he sure can dance! Check him out, won\'t you?<\/span> <\/a>

Despite having a vintage figure a couple of years back, the first modern-era Princess Leia Organa in Endor Poncho<\/b> is easily the best looking. It\'s amazing what having a chin strap on your helmet and a fitted poncho can do. Should you add her to your collection, or keep waiting like a bump on a log? Read on!<\/span> <\/a>
