This Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) is from Solo - and it's almost the same as The Last Jedi.   There's a different sound chip which is still not Mark Hamil, and there's a green Force Link symbol on the foot.  Otherwise, it's arguably not different enough to warrant a mention.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - More Solo! We hope. More droids? Maybe no. Toys R Us fallout? Some things are coming, and can't be discussed just yet.

Be sure you send in your questions for next week. Read on!

Forces of Destiny had a lot going for it - much of which may never see the light of day.  New episodes keep streaming, but new toys are far and few between.  The Porgs with Chewbacca got far enough along that you can snag yours at Comic-Con in a couple of weeks.  Cnet has the scoop - Chewie can be bought today, but the whole set is $50 at the show.  Read more here.

This Qi'ra (Corellia, Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) is pretty great - the skirt doesn't prevent her from sitting in Han's speeder, plus she has swivel wrists.  It's something you should buy before it goes away.  Read on!

One of the few new alien figures from Solo is Moloch - and he fits right in with your classic figures.  With a staff, a blaster, and a removable mask, this is a gem.  As one of the White Worms, there's a tail under the robes.  Its a heck of a cool design, and I'm seeing this one out and about a bit more lately.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - The Future of 4-Inch! It has one. What is it? Solo stuffs. And more stuff about Solo.

Be sure you send in your questions for next week. Read on!

The Kessel Guard is pretty cool - the helmet looks like a kitchen appliance, the arms remind me of Chirrut Imwe, and it's just generally very Star Warsy.   Plus it comes with Lando, so you should get one.  Read on!

It's Lando Calrissian!  He's from a 2-pack in the Solo line that seems to be selling pretty well right now - but you can probably find it if you make a couple of stops on your next toy hunt.   Read on!

This week in Q&A - Renewing the license at Hasbro! I think it's very much in their interests. Jurassic compatibility - does Mattel's dinosaur line play nice with Jedi Knights? Toys R Us - well, it's depressing, let's leave it at that.

It's time to send in your questions for next week. Read on!

From Disney, the Power Droid (Wind-Up Fight Droids) is pretty big - it might be too big, but it's neat.  It walks and swings its arms with all the precision of the windmill.   It's $9.95 for both figures, so it's plenty cheap.  Read on!

Despite the fact that nobody seems to be talking about them, the Solo line has been pretty fantastic.  The Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Last Jedi / Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look)  has a great sculpt with deco that's good, but not perfect, compared to other releases.  (Gloves, rank badge.)  It also has the best ever Wampa.   Read on!

This week in Q&A - My glasses! Is it easy to make them decent in 3 3/4-inch sizing? Solo! What's next? And Last Wave Syndrome is a thing.

It's time to send in your questions for next week. Read on!

Sometimes we get exclusive figures, sometimes we get sneak peeks with exclusive gear.  The STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES HAN SOLO AND MYNOCK figures are a surprisingly fair $34.99 in a big fancy box that recalls the awesome Boba Fett from 2013.   Han has a breathing mask, Mynock, and some other goodies.  The box reads "Exogorth Escape," and if that seems baffling that's because you missed the Knights of the Old Republic comic books that gave a name and backstory to the big space slugs.  Mystery is dead, but the hunt lives on - more pictures and press info after the break. 

It's pretty dang cool.  At this time we do not know if this is the final exclusive or what else Hasbro  has planned - for the last two years, we've been treated to surprise exclusives on the day of the show.   You might not even know what you're missing when you're on the show floor.

We got a Rey in 2017 and an unmasked Kylo Ren in 2016, so in 2018 we get STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES CENTERPIECE REY (STARKILLER BASE) & KYLO REN.   The Centerpiece Rey is available here for the first time, and Kylo Ren appears to be retooled from previous releases. 

The Rey is a Centerpiece, meaning lights are yes and articulation is no.  There's a misting system and a fancy light-up backdrop.  Kylo Ren has a uniquely expressive face, a torn shirt, and lots of articulation. Also snow deco.

The set is $109.99.  More images and the press info after the jump.
