This week in Q&A: We look at more missing figures - you ain't getting them. And new stuff is making it out - but could it be better? Lastly, international packaging - will we in the USA ever care again? Probably not. But we can think about it.

So send in your questions for next week. Read on!

Ad: New at Entertainment Earth - Star Wars Hikar!   Limited to 500 pieces, check out the Infrared Darth Vader - an Entertainment Earth exclusive.  Also new and not an exclusive, K-3PO - which kicks off the C-3PO mold.

EW, girl, EW.   Over at Entertainment Weekly, you can read the descriptively titled article Check out an exclusive look at the first toys from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  It gives you a look at the $25 Black Series debut Stormtrooper as well as Mattel's Hot Wheels car and a LEGO buildable figure.

Funko does a lot of exclusives for Comic-Con.  I mean, tons - back before the Pop! Vinyl days, they loaded their booth with pop art-inspired and metallic repaints of gorgeous bobble heads.  Now they've got other brands, and they do an obscene variety of exclusives like Hikari Vinyl Figures Infrared Boba Fett.  There are 1,000, it'll probably be around $80, and best of luck to you all.

This week in Q&A: Head sculpts! Why do they change? And Disney Droids - what parts should you be buying if you want one of everything? Also a comment, because we have space to fill and would love your questions if you have any. (Or a break, either way works.)

If you enjoyed Kabuto Mushi, you're going to like Callgrim.   Jesse Moore's line of designer figures draw from numerous influences, and this time it's Star Wars.  X-Wing, A-Wing, B-Wing, and Rebel Endor Trooper figures are the inspiration of the day, plus a swell Speeder Bike are up for grabs.  Click here to see what's left - each figure and vehicle is $20.

This week in Q&A: More Droid Anxiety - do the current secondary market prices for new releases make sense to you? And 6-inch sculpting - are we getting better, worse, or about the same? And also more 6-inch concerns - like paint. We have much to discuss.

And hey, send in your questions for next week. Read on!

You probably don't need Darth Vader (Dagobah Test) if you've been collecting for the last 15 years, but it's not terrible.  With a great head sculpt and a neck that's a tad too long, it repurposes a 2005 body - a good one - for your collecting pleasure.   Read on!

Let's finish up this look at the first round of 2015 exclusives (more are coming in round 2) with the R2-Series Astromech Droid Blue and Yellow edition - this one is really close to the unreleased 2012 R8-B7!  And he has a swell hat, assuming of course that's the hat you opted for when you built him at a Disney park this year.   We switch gears tomorrow, so read on!

The egg-like R2-Series Astromech Droid White and Yellow figure is today's release, and it ain't bad - we don't see a lot of white-domed figures.  Read on!

If you just can't wait for (most likely) September, you can part with your money early by clicking here to see the new 6-inch Stormtrooper.   There is no packaging shown and you can see the blaster - it's pretty sweet! There's also a backpack peg, which may mean there are multiple versions of this figure on the horizon.   Check it out.

So now we're up to 25 of these in the 2015 series - but I'm still working through the first 11!  Today it's the R8-Series Astromech Droid White and Blue version, and there's an orange one coming shortly.   Amazing.   Get one if you dare, and read on!

This week in Q&A: Let's talk Droid Factory because we can and we should. And 6-inch figures, namely blah blah blah. And ReAction - again - because we have space to fill and it's a holiday. Come back next week for more!

Today in Figure of the Day: R6-Series Astromech Droid White, Black, and Red!  If you missed the news, R6 droids will appear in the new movie - so that's a good reason to get one like this.  Read on!

Today: R5-Series Astromech Droid Red and Black!  It's like R5-K6, which is really expensive on eBay from the Scramble on Yavin set, but this is.... less expensive.  If you're at a Disney Park, at least.  Read on!
