A new figure with a lot of shared parts, the Admiral Piett (The Black Series 6-Inch) will go nicely with your General Veers. The former is shared onlnie, the latter is now hitting a Walgreens theoretically near you. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Moving your collection! Time shreds all toys. Posters - fake reproductions and real fakes! Also Episode IX Toys - let's speculate wildly in this answer I wrote a few weeks ago.
Be sure you send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Amazon's exclusive R5-D8 (The Black Series 6-Inch) is unlike previous versions of this specific droid. Previous representations usually look a lot like R5-D4, with the blue arm panels. Some even have yellow stripes in the red columns on the chest. This one is colored almost exactly like the 1979 Kenner R4-D4, which doesn't mean that it necessarily matches the on-screen droid that served Jek Porkins - but there's not a lot of reference, either.

The 4-LOM (The Black Series 6-Inch) brings you another bounty hunter in the oh-so-popular larger scale - and the head is clear green, so shine a light through that for double-plus fun. It includes a blaster. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The Old Expanded Universe Action Figures in the late 200Xes were great - can we have more? (No.) The free market - it gives, and it takes away. Solo! Thank goodness the toys are still coming. Even though you didn't see the movie, it's filled with neat toy idas.

She's new! Well, newish. The Princess Leia Organa (Hoth) is one of precious few new "classic" figures this year - and she has articulated boots! And a weird blaster. But hey, it's a new Leia - we don't get many of those. Read on!
For the first time in ages, we have only one known Star Wars movie release date. Disney CEO Bob Iger talks about the possibility of having too many movies in THR's feature "Bob Iger Talks Disney's Streaming Service, 'Roseanne,' James Gunn and a Coming 'Star Wars' "Slowdown." A choice quote:
"I made the [annual Star Wars theatrical release] timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films. J.J. [Abrams] is busy making [Episode] IX. We have creative entities, including [Game of Thrones creators David] Benioff and [D.B.] Weiss, who are developing sagas of their own, which we haven't been specific about. And we are just at the point where we're going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s. But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that."
This week in Q&A - Expanded Universe action figures returning? Some will - but don't hold your breath. More Solo figures - they're on the way. And Enfys Nest - no, no removable helmet.

One of the many figures you forgot existed and won't realize you don't have until 5 years from now, Disney's R5-232 (Droid Factory Line Look) can be bought right now. It has a new restraining bolt, but otherwise is just a fancy redeco of a mold you've had access to for quite some time. It's still one of the more interesting droids in this set based on Solo: A Star Wars Story. Read on!
Packed with her Swoop Bike, this Enfys Nest action figure looks great! There's no removable helmet, but the sci-fi meets local flavor costume combines armor, fur, and a cape to bring to life a Zorro-like mantle that could be handed down and return in later installments. It's a pretty good figure with a pretty nice bike. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Mego returns! At Target, right now, cheaply. General Veers - hold your horses, he's still coming. More Clone Wars chatter - hey, people love that show.

The Stormtrooper (Mimban, AT-DT) is really cool and comes with one of the best Hasbro 3 3/4-inch scale vehicles in recent memory - it explodes! The figure doesn't, though - it's just a nice trooper that you'll wish you could easily build into your armies, and you can't. Read on!
The Han Solo (Kessel Run Millennium Falcon) may be popping up in a playset later this year - we'll need to wait and see how many changes they make - but you can get get it with a rather small Falcon right now! The figure isn't bad - it's as Kenner-y as anything we've had in recent years. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The Lost Pitch Figures - remember when Kenner had competition for figures? The Clone Wars - sure, maybe no more questions here though. And Solo - does it seem likely to have legs once the home video ends?
