By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 28, 2011

Hasbro has no shortage of Darth Maul figures, and this one was particularly tough to get at first.  As one of the "Masters of the Dark Side," the set was quite scarce-- single figures came out later, and now it's cheap enough for you to get easily.  Should you?  Read on!

He's small and fishy.  Robonino was one of those figures fans started asking for, subsequently got, and didn't really buy.  His Target-exclusive gift set is still available nearly 9 months after its introduction, which is a shame, as it's a nice set that should sell through. Should you get one?  Read on!

Comic-Con: Sideshow Has Legendary In Mind

By Mike — Sunday, July 24, 2011

If you want to get the most detail and authenticity out of your collectible figure, then a larger 1/2 scale canvas will extract as much creativity as possible. Sideshow debuted their Legendary scale Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the results are amazing. The facial features and likeness to Guiness and Park are extraordinary. One, of course, must have ample room in their home to be a "completist", but collecting one to display instantly qualifies it as a collection centerpiece.

Comic-Con: Trench Run X-Wing Has Guts

By Mike — Friday, July 22, 2011

At first glance, one may make the assumption that the upcoming ToysRus Trench Run X-Wing Fighter is another iteration of the 1997 Power FX mold or a repaint like the Dagobah version. But Hasbro went to great lengths to give Luke's signature starfighter some fresh insides by tooling a new fuselage and adding great detail and features in the cockpit. This may be your definitive 3 3/4 X-Wing yet.
