Last year's Darth Vader was barely a new figure-- it's a tinkered revision of a figure mold that debuted in 2005.  It's still really good though-- I almost wish the helmet was not removable, but that's my life.  Read on!

It's here-- already!  The newest wave of Vintage Action Figures is starting to show up at online retailers like sponsor Entertainment Earth.

The case includes the following 12 action figures, including a few holdovers from Wave 7:

There have been many, many versions of Captain Rex and this one, from a 2010 ARC Troopers Battle Pack, is likely the hardest to get.  He has a unique helmet and gun, for starters-- so should you get it? Read on!

This Anakin Skywalker was one of the better ones. Lots of joints, a good amount of detail, and yes-- he can fit in your vehicles.  This, friends, is what matters!  Read on!

It's another Clone Trooper Fives figure!  He's got a fancy helmet with neat deco which is a little off-center.  I still like it though-- read on!

It looks like a figure you bought, but it's not.  The Republic Attack Shuttle Clone Pilot uses a new body style and has unique deco on his shoulders... so he's different!  Sort of.  The ship is good, at least. Read on!

One of my favorite figures is this concept design-inspired Ki-Adi-Mundi.  It's just more fun than the boring ol' Jedi outfit.  Should you get one?  Aye!  Read on!

It's that time again!  Hasbro sent some answers to a pair of our burning questions.  This time, we're focusing on upcoming The Vintage Collection packaging and a new gun gimmick showing up on the newest "mini-rigs" from The Clone Wars.  And we can point you to two other equally thrilling questions, but there's a catch.  Read on!

Rounding out Boba Fett's early crew is Castas, meaning to get all your bounty hunters will require you to get a few nice vehicles in the process.  Is it worth the effort?  I think so-- but read on!

This robot that looks like a Terminator and sounds like Lando Calrissian.  YVH-1 was one of the last build-a-droid figures. Should you put one together?  Read on!

The wait is over! And by over, I mean just starting because Hasbro posted the form and the details of this year's mail-in Boba Fett offer.  You can click through to read it, or read below for the notes on what will (or won't) be accepted.

One good Felucian Warrior deserves another!  This is the second figure based on the mold, and he's just as.... uh... whatever he is as ever.  How does that sound?  Read on!

It's the red version of the female Tusken Raider!  How exciting! Well, not really, but it's neat and a nifty way to bring more variety to the desert nomads.  Read on!

Oh, this is an exciting one!  Pre-blink Wicket the Ewok is a great Vintage 2010 figure, complete with an added cloak resembling the second season of the animated series.  Does it get better than this?  No, it does not.  Read on!

It's another Clone Trooper, this time with some green and some dirt on it.  Sexy!  Is this particular variant worth your trouble?  Read on!
