Toy Fair 2011 Official Images From Hasbro

By Adam May — Saturday, February 12, 2011

The official Toy Fair presentation images from Hasbro have been added to our Image Bank as we work through our "on the scene shots". Some figures like Bastilla Shan were not on display, so the official image is the only way to see her. Also note that Barris Offee will have a plastic cloak, not the soft goods version shown. (The aesthetic did not quite match the look Hasbro desired.)

By Mike — Friday, February 11, 2011

From our sponsors at Brian's Toys: Han Solo put the entire galaxy on his back! And his quick thinking probably saved Leia & Luke from being squashed mon calamari in the trash compactor.  You can relive that moments forever by purchasing the highly-detailed bookends from Gentle Giant.

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, February 11, 2011

Hasbro loves upgrades, and this Obi-Wan Kenobi takes a good figure and makes it even better by adding cloth robes plus jointed knees and ankles.  Packaged with your choice of vehicles, it's a great, great figure you really need to get for piloting purposes.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 1,477

Image Bank: VC20 Yoda

By Mike — Wednesday, February 9, 2011

A holdover from Wave 2 Revenge of the Sith, Yoda gets remixed somewhat in Wave 5. Featuring a vastly improved repainted head sculpt from the 2007 Kybruck figure along with that version's torso, Vintage Yoda sports new swivel jointed arms and ball jointed shoulders and knees. The cloak also fits nicely, and as Adam Pawlus noted in this week's Q&A, lacks a hood and features some Dagobah like weathering. In whole, it's a great figure and we really like the inclusion of The Force blast/shield accessory.
