This R2-D2 from the recently released Target Exclusive Arena Battle sets is loosely based on the 2004 Vintage design, but with a heavily retooled torso and head.  But why is his big eye clear?   Read on!

A fan got his hands on Clone Hevy in Training Armor, giving us first glimpse at the cool figure.  But what's really cool are the new figures revealed on the cardback, like a new super-articulated Cad Bane with Todo 360, Ahsoka's astromech droid, a new Obi-Wan Kenobi, and confirmation of a reissue of Hondo Ohnaka!

Hey, it's the new Target Exclusive Senate Commando figure!  This awesome release is basically the Argyus body with a new head, but that's enough to warrant the purchase!

We kick off this week of new Target exclusives with Shahan Alama, a Weequay pilot with a robot arm!  He's in the new (and popular) Bounty Hunter pack with Robonino and a couple of droids, and made of mostly new parts.  You want him-- admit it.  Read on!

Scott from Tulsa sends us a follow up from last month's damaged Mailaway Fetts from Hasbro.

 Obi-Wan's droid finally gets plasticized Clone Wars style with great paint apps using the R3-S6 "Goldie" mold.  If you like your droids, plan on picking this one up!

Don't forget, this weekend will be the rollout of the newest Hasbro endcap at Target stores. We've seen Nerf and Transformers, but this one will be packed with new Star Wars exclusives. Keep your eyes peeled for Mini Mighty Muggs, Battle Packs, Geonosis Arena Sets, Clone Wars 2-Packs, and more stock of basic figures and other goodies.

The only R5-X2 so far is this RC toy, only sold in the USA at Target.  It was kinda pricey, but it is fun and pretty cool.  Should you get one?  Read on!

He's juvenile! He's delinquent! He's young Boba Fett! Re-introduced in Season 2 of The Clone Wars, the young bounty hunter in training is going through his own rites of passage. The figure is incredibly done, with the good likeness and articulation that we've come to expect from this line.

It looks like collectors will be spending a lot of dough this week. Besides the new slew of Target exclusives, Toys R Us is also receiving the latest vehicles which include the Hyena Bomber, AT-AP, AAT, and Swamp Speeder. Mickey Gunslinger sends in his find from Chandler, AZ yesterday. Open up those wallets and Happy Weekend Hunting! 

Oh Denal, we hardly knew ye-- but we do know that ye suit should be coming back on another figure soon!  This Clone Trooper has a unique helmet and a nice rocket pack, but the head is not much to speak of.  Should you check him out?  Read on!

 This figure is simply stunning, with soft goods that work with the super articulation underneath. We do have concerns about the long term viability of the soft goods skirt as it seems prone to unraveling, but it lays well and complements the figure overall. VC31 Shaak Ti is the latest addition to our Image Bank. Post your thoughts in our comment box!  

It's rare to see evolution take place right before your eyes, but you can do that with these Clone Trooper figures.  (OK, not really.)  He can be a pilot or a trooper-- it's all up to you!  Just pick a helmet and presto, new figure.  How many should you buy?  Read on!

 With the recently released Battle Pack, you may think that there would be ample supply of Mandalorian Warriors for everyone. But don't fool yourself. This guy will be hot to move off the pegs. View all the detailed photos in our Image Bank and be sure to post your comments!

The new Target exclusives are now available online at Amazon. These include the Hostage Crisis and Hidden Enemy Battlepacks, the 2010 Edition Geonosis Sets, Senate Guard 2 Pack, and Bounty Hunter 2 Pack. Thanks to curatola01 for the timely heads up!
