Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,826 with Bonus Video

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, June 13, 2012

It ain't perfect, but this just-released Vintage 2012 Grand Moff Tarkin is pretty good.  This is a figure with great engineering and parts reuse, and unfortunate color and plastic choices.  (He's shiny.)  The cloth skirt doesn't look so bad in person, and the sculpt is exceptional.  Want to know more?  Read on, or watch the video after the jump!  (It's short, but not too short.)

New! (But no video.)  Kithaba has red pants, just like the Barada figure you had or wished you had as a kid! He also has a variation, but you knew that.   Is he cool? YES! Read on!

By Mike — Sunday, June 10, 2012

It's called a good problem for Disney but less than ideal for vacationing collectors. Dan Curto is at Disney Star Wars Weekends and reported some changes with the Droid Factory packaging and availability of parts.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,823

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, June 8, 2012

It's the new Captain Rex, which has exceptional deco and unexceptional articulation.  Just get a look at the amazing painted detail, and then try not to cringe when you realize he has no wrist joints.  Read on!

Red Kithaba Update

By Mike — Friday, June 8, 2012

Want to know what the real deal is with that hard to find Kithaba variant? Is it even real or the product of some deviant customizers? We have an update for you!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,822

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 7, 2012

While long-awaited, Daultay Dofine didn't top a bunch of wish lists.  The benefit of the long gap between his debut in the movies and his figure comes through in its great costume and articulation.  Read on!

Hasbro has released a couple of nice, clear photos of the Comic-Con International 2012 Star Wars Exclusive Carbonite Chamber multi-pack featuring an exclusive Vintage Collection Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite.

Review: VC97 Odd Ball (Clone Pilot)

By Mike — Thursday, June 7, 2012

Another version wasn't on my top priority list, but there's plenty to like about the new Clone Pilot, especially since he features new sculpting with re-used parts from previous figures that complement the upgrade. A few ROTS era pilots have been released for battle packs and Evolutions sets over the years  with varying degrees of quality. However, this well executed design partnered with some kit bashing and the appeal of a film scene specific representation makes VC97 pretty close to if not definitive.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,821

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, June 6, 2012

It's an Obi-Wan Kenobi!  This figure came from the Order 66 line of 2-packs, but isn't necessarily worth tracking down on its own merits. Want to know more? Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,820

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 5, 2012

Best know to many as Klaatu, Wooof came out in late 2010 as one of the few figures which took an exceptionally long time to see a modern-era remake.  He may be warming pegs, but is he worth buying? Read on!

Review: VC101 Shae Vizla (Old Republic Bounty Hunter)

By Mike — Tuesday, June 5, 2012

The deadly female Mandalorian Bounty Hunter is the second Vintage Collection action figure from The Old Republic video game. Shae Vizla includes swappable heads to display her helmeted and un-helmeted and she even comes with some flame effects like it's 2002. 

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,819

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, June 4, 2012

It's Darth Nihil, one of the Sith of the future that actually (barely) made it out as an action figure.  Should you get it? Well, it's the only Nagai figure so I say yes! Read on!
