Here are the Nth releases of these characters within the past 4 months that could potentially cause some redundancy and over saturation in retail. From the head up, they're excellent, and you may argue that at least one or two are the best yet. But the 5 points of articulation are causing much menace for a few collectors, especially since these head sculpts are meant for more action.

This Qui-Gon Jinn figure from 2008ish is basically the basis for most Qui-Gon figures you can buy at a store today.  He's super-articulated and has a robe...

Happy Star Wars Day! In celebration of May The Fourth, Hasbro, Gentle Giant, LEGO, and others are offering some good deals, extras, and more.

Carded photos of the "Lost Line" wave of The Vintage Collection figures have been posted at Sandtroopers.com. As we first reported at Toy Fair, this wave includes a character from each Episode of the Star Wars saga.

For years, fans have been asking Hasbro for the "ceremonial" Han Solo.  This is Hasbro's first 3 3/4-inch attempt... it's adequate, but the shirt is wrong.  Other than that? Well, read on!

When Hasbro bragged during their speedy presentation at this year's Toy Fair that these new Battle Pack figures are the best they've done of these characters yet, they were somewhat correct... from a certain point of view. The regression in articulation has caused much controversy and debate in the collector community since. Yes, these figures feature excellent sculpting and awful POTF2 era poseability. No, it doesn't have to be this good and that bad.

Behold, the first all-new Boba Fett sculpt since at least 2008!   This is the new Battle Packs release, which has 5 joints and a really nice, action figurey sculpt.  I love it.  You should love it too.

Meet Aly San San, an unusual name for a droid but a fine Star Tours exclusive!  This repaint of WA-7 looks right at home in blue and orange.  Read on!

Check out this swell blue Commando Droid! It has a Black Sun logo thing going on, and it has more articulation than you could imagine.  Oh, and go vote on our poll concerning new figures with less articulation when you read on!

Droid Factory makes its return to Tatooine Traders at Disney's Hollywood Studios! Attractions magazine posted on their Twitter page that Build-A-Droid will be featured at the theme park's store where you can assemble your own droid action figure.

A few years ago, Hasbro brought over Tomy's RC droids!  Target got them as exclusives, and R5-D4 looks pretty good.  Should you track him down?  Read on!

It's not R2-A6, it's R2-N3!  This droid is green, new, and just different enough to make you mad, or happy, or both.  I like it, as I can't get enough of astromechs.  Read on!

Expanded Canon meets Expanded Universe as the fan favorite Republic Commando Boss gets the Clone Wars treatment in 2012 with  good sculpt, but awfully limited leg articulation. He comes with his standard commando weaponry, a zip line, and a cool storage pack to harness his hand blasters.

The main selling point of this Anakin Skywalker figure is probably his dirty mug, follwed by the helmet.  Sadly, it doesn't really fit in the matching Pod Racer, nor is it a new mold-- it's a 2000-era figure.  Is it worth getting as part of a big set?  R
