Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,893

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, September 14, 2012

Arguably one of the more interesting TIE Fighter pilot names, Mauler Mithel came from, if my abacus is truthful, Decipher's customizable card game.  The pilot is notable with his rubbed helmet symbol and... pilot-ness.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,892

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 13, 2012

This Gasgano from 2012 lacks the Pit Droid from 1999, but has a flag and slightly different deco.  So you'll probably begrudgingly buy this one, if at all.  Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, September 12, 2012

Who loves a good argument?  The Nightsister which just showed up at Target is sold with animated versions of Darth Maul and Savage Opress, but is sculpted to match a prequel concept for a proto-Darth Maul Sith Witch character.  She's not very cartoony, but if anything, feels like a stealth "concept" figure rather than a Mother Talzin substitute.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,889

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, September 10, 2012

This is a good one.  The Yellow R6-Series Astromech Droid was probably my favorite from the ones I was able to get in Orlando last month, because it looks just familiar and just different enough to be awesome.  It's also in some really gonzo color.  Is it worth tracking down?
