While not quite a figure, but way cooler than just an accessory, this year's SDCC exclusive Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite is a real oddity. You can sort of see it in The Force Unleashed, it has a great sculpt, but it's a little small to fit Jar Jar. Yet it's one of the most compelling items of the year.
A 1999 weapon with a 2012 figure! This Qui-Gon Jinn has an amazing sculpt, yet has articulation that seemed dated in 1983. It's a good thing it's awesome overall-- read on, you'll like this one!
It's Princess Leia in Bespin Gown, part of the latest wave (and Comic-Con exclusive pack) from Hasbro! Even though the last one was good, this one is an improvement. Should you get one?
New for 2012, but old now, is the first-ever movie-specific Quinlan Vos figure. Based on a background extra, this presumed authentic release looks fantastic. Should you get one?
While not as new as some recently featured figures, Yoda is no less impressive! This tiny figure is more of a statue than an action figure, and he's super-cheap on eBay. The figure has an amazing paint job and, frankly, looks better than a lot of the movie Yodas out there.
It's the new Jek Porkins, just now arriving at Toys R Us stores! Part of a Yavin Pilot Pack, the figure is a little bit bigger than his fellow pilots but thinner than the 2000 figure.
Check out Bib Fortuna, the 2004 repaint of the 1997 figure. At first glance they're identical, but oh no, they are not! New paint and other tweaks make this one just different enough to make you mad. Read on!
The new Darth Vader isn't as new as it was... but this light-up lightsaber release may still be tough to find. Is it worth tracking down? Read on!
It's R5-D4! The figure is a new one, with improved paint over the 2012 release. Is this Target exclusive worth re-buying? I think so. Read on!
Today's (technically) Figure of the Day is Han Solo in Carbonite from 1996, which is pretty gosh-darned similar to the old Kenner one from the 1980s. New color, new stickers, and because we've got a deadline, read on!
Today, let's look at Clone Commander Cody, an exclusive remold of the basic animated trooper body from several years ago. Is it good? It sure ain't bad! Read on!
A Battle Droid! This one doesn't match the other ones, and came out as an exclusive at the Toys R Us. Should you get it? CAN you get it? Read on!
