Do you need a bunch of new Wookiees? I do. I can't say if you do though. What I can say is that you can get Wullffwarro right now, and he's pretty cool! Read on for more in Figure of the Day.
Meet the new Bossk! (Not the same as the old Bossk.) In Figure of the Day we look at this 2015 release and compare it to the 1980s version - which one is taller? The answer may surprise you.
And we're back! Few columns get as many letters and as few reads as Figure of the Day, and it's back for a while with a look at the figures hitting hard now. Like Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels here - she's got two guns, her helmet doesn't come off, and for budget reasons her paint job isn't quite what you see on TV. But she's still pretty neat!
It is once again time for Q&A! Let's talk PR - are the media socialists answering everything we want to know? And price increases - yes, they happened and yeah, you can probably expect another one in 1-2 years. Also Droid Factory parts - there are a bunch out there, don't you know!

Still looking to pre-order Black Series action figures? Amazon added Han Solo Stormtrooper, Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper, Emperor Palpatine, and the Clone Trooper Captain. Each is $22.99 and due in late May. Click here to get yours, or read on.
It's shipping! I got the Imperial Troop Transport from Star Wars Rebels when I ordered it at Entertainment Earth (available here now in a case with 2 per box). It's neat! It has articulated front cannons, 2 firing rockets, storage for 9 figures, and places to keep bunches of weapons. It does not have funny hats, wheels, a record player, or a large trunk for storage. Watch Six Second Toy Talk after the break to see it in action. It won't take long.
Game importer and useful news source NCS has confirmed that an assortment of Beni Star Wars Pullback Droids are coming. The set of 6 2.16-inch droids will set you back around $24, and includes R2-D2, R2-Q5, R2-B1, R2-X2, R2-M5, and R2-A6.
Be warned, if you haven't seen last night's episode of Star Wars Rebels then this story on USA Today may ruin it for you. Darth Vader is well known, so I can post this headline: Darth Vader's back in 'Star Wars Rebels'. You knew that. And now we know Hasbro is doing a figure for it, which is fantastic news - but there's another figure coming with him, and that's what you may not yet want to know.
Tonight's season finale of Star Wars Rebels doesn't answer many of the hanging questions, but we do get a big peek behind the curtain in "Fire Across the Galaxy." We see a potential death, an unmasking, and wrap up Kanan's imprisonment with what is probably the best space battle we've seen on the TV editions of the franchise so far. In short, good times all around - and the amount of giddy fan stuff at the end is going to make you scream out for joy. (As long as Hasbro follows the cues of the episode, of course.)
Read on for more! I just finished watching this moments ago, so it's not too in-depth. And spoilers follow.
Welcome to Q&A! We're cleaning out the mailbag with questions about Digital release figures (with no confirmation of said digital release), new Bespin Han, and seeing if the grass is greener plus some other stuff. It's good.

Tonight's episode of Star Wars Rebels continues the second real multi-episode arc of the season. "Rebel Resolve" builds a little tension without spending too much time on the specifics of Kanan's imprisonment and also makes us think that Ezra likes him more than Hera does..
Surprisingly, nobody has been rescued and there's an honest-to-goodness cliffhanger to make things interesting next time. Read on for more!
