16bit.com Figure of the Day - Onell Design Glyos Greeden

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, November 28, 2018

Another off-topic figure, but with some news rolled in.  Onell Design will be holding a drop Thursday night at 9:30 PM EST,  with another new figure that might look somewhat similar to this one in terms of tributes to days gone by.

But from last month, take a look at this Greeden - it's Kenner's Greedo colors mixed with Pheyden's design, giving us all a great tribute to a classic alien action figure.  The next one has not yet been announced, and it will be sold as a mystery figure tonight.  Click here to read about Greeden.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,537: Qi'Ra (Vandor-1, Solo: A Star Wars Story line look)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 27, 2018

This Qi'ra is one of Hasbro's best.  Great sculpt, good deco, and I didn't realize there was anything in front of me but plastic perfection until I got out the macro lens. The lips are painted a little strangely, but to my eyes the figure looks superb.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,536: Stormtrooper (Mimban, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 22, 2018

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful I found this Stormtrooper (Mimban, The Black Series 6-Inch)  without much of a fight - it's a redeco of the 2013 Stormtrooper with a new head and a cape, but that's good enough for me.  Worth it if you can find one.  Read on!

Walgreens' General Veers (The Black Series 6-Inch)  is in stores now, provided you go to more than one of them.   Maybe you'll get lucky - it's a good figure!  Veers has extra parts to switch between his Star Destroyer look with cap and his helmeted, armored AT-AT commander look.  You've got options, and the face looks pretty amazing.  Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 13, 2018

Today's 3 3/4-inch Stormtrooper Squad Leader is at a Target near you now, and probably marked down a few bucks.  It has a wonderful sculpt and sharp detailing, making it a great army builder if Hasbro ever decides to release it solo.  (See what I did there?) Anyway, get one. Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, November 11, 2018

Disney+ Streaming Series #2: Rogue One: A Star Wars Story: A Star Wars Story

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 8, 2018

We now have a name for Disney's streaming platform - Disney+ - and a premise for the second live-actions treaming show.  According to StarWars.com, Cassian Andor Live-Action Series Announced.  The good news is we might get some more Diego Luna figures - and maybe someone will want the ones they passed on last time.  And maybe we'll get fancy, improved face paint.  But also we're going to get a new series, the scope of which is not entirely known yet.   If it means more Captain Andor and some Imperials, it'll probably be tons of fun.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,532: Stormtrooper (Mimban, a.k.a. Mudtrooper, Solo: A Star Wars Story line look)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 8, 2018

It's basically Han Solo with the mask glued on.  This Stormtrooper (Mimban) is in that 6 figure boxed set at Target, and it's a good collection for fans of the side stories and the Empire.   Even though you skipped the movie, I suspect you'll like the various troopers at the price.  (And it's on sale this week.)   Is it worth it?  Read on!
