Hasbro's new Star Wars line - where it doesn't mention the new movie by name anywhere on the packaging - really does span the whole saga. I found a new sculpt (and stunning) 1977-style Obi-Wan Kenobi on Saturday, and they also pay tribute to some cool stuff from The Force Awakens, as there is much that would still make a good toy. We got a Rathtar! He can eat figures. He can make superbly cool and gross noises on the Force Link band. Unfortunately, his tentacles can pop out easily, and he's basically a potato with a mouth. I like it - it comes with a cool figure. Read on!
Day #2400! Why am I still doing this? Just released this week, let's look at Chewbacca with Porg. The figure is awesome. The animal buddy is awesome. The bowcaster may be Hasbro's worst, as it falls apart if it touches anything. Bring glue, but do give this figure a look - it's sturdy otherwise. Read on!
It begins! The first figure I cracked open from Force Friday II was the Imperial Probe Droid. It's the first all-new Probot in nearly 20 years, and it's a nice one with a better integrated rocket, a superior sculpt, nifty Force Link sounds, and a clear display stand. And more articulation. And glossy plastic bits. It's just better - read on!
The glossy Vendor Droid (Black, Droid Factory) is available in Flordia now, and it's pretty sharp. It's shiny, it's not something we've seen in a movie or TV show yet, and it looks like it could belong on the Death Star playset you'll probably never get. But I digress. Read on!
Let's look at Rogue One's Galen Erso, a figure you never saw in stores. Maybe you ordered it online - if so, good on you. You got a mouse droid, a zipline, and a blaster. That ain't bad. Read on!
Fresh from Comic-Con, this Landspeeder version of Luke Skywalker has a poncho, a hat, and that landspeeder. It's cool! It has a new head sculpt too. Read on!
From The Last Jedi and also San Diego Comic-Con, this Rey (Jedi Training) action figure is sort of available now - HasbroToyShop doesn't seem to have it, but it's likely to be in stores next month or soon thereafter. Read on!
You've been waiting a long time for it, so let's look at Comic-Con's Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master)! The 6-inch figure includes a cloak, and also a Rey figure. Read on!
In stores now, maybe, Clone Commander Gree (The Black Series) is cool. The colors aren't a perfect match to the movie or previous figures, but there are newly-tooled pieces and you want to be careful that the antenna doesn't fall out of his backpack. Read on!
Today: let's look at the not-common-enough Imperial Royal Guard (The Black Series) 6-inch action figure! It's really cool - and the helmet isn't removable. You do get armor under the robes, so custom Kir Kanos figures can't be far behind. Read on!
Take a look at R5-S9 (Droid Factory), it's blue! The colors don't match the show perfectly, but it's also not an animated figure. You can find this The Clone Wars-inspired robot at Disney theme parks in a 4-pack, and of course we're going to look at them all. Read on!
From the Disney parks, it's R5-P8 (Droid Factory)! It has a gun, lots of painted dirt, and a cartoony monster face on it. It's brilliant. You should get one. Read on!
Today: Disney's See-Threepio (C-3PO, Droid Factory) from the 2-pack! It's not bad - it's a little fake filthy, too. Is this the super-articulated C-3PO you've been waiting for? Read on!
