I hope you love Republic Commando figures like this Omega Squad Sniper, an exclusive that you can't easily get any more. Well, unless you count eBay.  Does this figure know where the blacktion is, or is it just another repaint?  Read on!

From Domino Squad, it's Cutup!  This new redeco appeared on eBay and has not yet been confirmed by Hasbro.  Is it something they'll announce at New York Comic Con next month...

It's Aurra Sing, cartoon style!  Since the new movie one isn't ready yet, this is currently the best version of the character you can buy as a toy.  Heck, it might be still next year-- we'll have to wait and see.  Read on!

Since 2009, Cad Bane has been given at least 4 different action figures, including this one in a fallen Clone's armor.  I like it a lot-- he has a few neat features, a Holocron, and a head without the cyber-cheek implants.  Read on!

This week: Battle Pack analysis-- is that a new figure I see? How do store exclusives work? Well, I'll tell you what I think I can get away with. And vintage numbering? Well... OK. All this and more await you, so read on!

Arriving ahead of schedule for about $99.99, the Death Star Trench Run is on some aisles today-- due to its massive size, the aisles I saw couldn't have more than one out at a time just yet.  Set to be a part of the "Big Book," history tells us that a discount of some sort may follow. But should you wait?

This Chewbacca has a good amount of gear, a great sculpt, and is friggin' Chewie.  On the other hand, the face paint could be better-- you should still look this one up, though.  Read on!

She's new-- and still a little hard to find! Darth Phobos comes from the Wii/PS2 version of The Force Unleashed, and she could be better. Nice sculpt, good accessory, iffy deco.  Read on!

Another Clone Trooper from those exclusive sets from 2005! The damage is unique, the mold, not so much.  Want to know more?  Read on!

I just couldn't believe it when Hasbro actually made L8-L9.  An obscure background character from a short cartoon, with tons of joints and a great paint job? Amazing!  I love this one.  Read on!

Hey kids, it's the new Ponda Baba and it's really good!  He has an extra arm, extra hands, a ton of articulation, and a nearly perfect sculpt.  Just go buy it, and if you can't, read on!

Is it time to revisit pop-up dioramas as a cheap playset alternative? Eh. Sure. Shall we look at mail-in figures of Christmas future? And what to do if your new Vintage figures don't quite have the paint job you were hoping for? All this and more, just read on!

Got a Fry's Electronics nearby?  They got some Hasbro surprises in this past week-- the 2009 edition of the Stormtrooper Commander and the 2008 Clone Trooper Senate Security are showing up, in star cases, at the chain for about $13. Good hunting!

In light of new toys shipping, the Blu-Ray bonanza, and everything else going on which may or may not involve a certain blonde star's backside on a cell phone, you no doubt forgot that the two-part season premiere of The Clone Wars aired on Cartoon Network earlier tonight.

The Star Wars Blu-Ray hit stores (and mailboxes) today, and as expected the complete Star Wars Holiday Special animated segment is included.  If you ever wanted to see what was basically a backdoor pilot for Droids, it's here!
