It's Chewbacca!  This 6-inch scale figure from Solo: A Star Wars Story is exclusive to Target and probably in stock at a store near you.  That DPCI is 087-06-9531.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Solo - international distribution is what it is. Hurting the line - or completeness. It's a thing. And Force Ghosts

And my mailbag is empty - please send in your questions for next week. Read on!

With three figures and a bit of sticker shock, this year's first (possibly only) 3 3/4-inch Star Wars Comic-Con exclusive in San Diego has been revealed!  Doctor Aphra is joined by 0-0-0 and BT-1 from Marvel's Doctor Aphra and Darth Vader comic books.  They're good fun, and those who read the stories have been requesting the Doctor and especially her droids for years.  

The set comes in a vintage-era-inspired "Special" box, wrapped in that foil styling we're seeing on more convention exclusives as of late.   Pictures and Hasbro's press copy after the jump.  (Spoiler - it's $49.99.)

It's more or less just different enough to make you mad! The K-2SO (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look)  has a sound chip and slightly  better antenna on the back - but it's functionally very similar.  Read on!

Captain Phasma (First Order Disguise, The Last Jedi Line Look)  was meant for a main line release, but ended up almost not coming out - instead, you can find it as an Entertainment Earth exclusive.   She has a staff, a backpack, a cape, a blaster, and Finn too.   I love how both arms are pre-posed to hold either weapon, plus they painted her arms silver rather than molding them in a not-matching swirly color.  It's nice.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Forces of Destiny! For all intents and purposes it's over, but it still has influence. And More 3 3/4-inch figures... have not been announce yet. Hasbro doesn't seem to like to announce 3 3/4-inch product anymore. Toy storage is and always will be an issue.

Hopefully you saw the movie, because today we look at Chewbacca (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look)!  This awesome figure has a unique bandolier and a decent paint job.   And it's probably sold out at a store near you.   Read on!

Packaged in a red and white box with The Last Jedi hues but shipping in the Solo assortments, the most-articulated Wampa yet is out in the Force Link 2.0 assortments - but at press time, the app and Force Link band require an as-of-yet unpublished firmware update to make it talk.  (We got one update to get most toys working, this one still doesn't.)   There are a lot of weird, wrong things about the toy's sound chip and box, but the jointed knees and elbows will get you your best Wampa yet.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Punched and Unpunched - here we go again. Big vehicles are fun to talk about, because they will break your heart. Also the monopoly - does it matter? No, sorry.

Disney theme parks are selli Solo: A Star Wars Story - Wind-Up Fight Droids for $9.95 (plus shipping).  The Astromech 4-pack isn't online at this time - I still need to get one, myself - but this 2-pack is. The listing says they're 3 3/4-inches, so I assume that means they'll fit nicely next to Hasbro figures.  Order yours here.

One of the more highly-requested figures after The Force Awakens came out, Supreme Leader Snoke has had a pretty good recent run as action figures.   This one has a cloth outfit and a generous slathering of articulation, and it's also the only completely new figure in the new 2018 The Vintage Collection so far.   As such, you're probably on your way to buy one.  Read on!

I'm a fan of this Finn, in part because it's exclusive where I work and in stock right now.  He has a great sculpt, a good costume, and above par accessories - and the voice clips are actually him.  Sure, some are from another movie, but it's something.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Solo's this week and there's not much stuff out there! At least I found the new 6-inch Chewbacca over the weekend. And prices - let's clarify a few things. We can also talk 3 3/4-inch action figures, because Solo launched under 10 figures for the new movie across its various 3 3/4-inch assortments. Quite possibly the smallest showing ever for a movie launch in this franchise.

The long-delayed Kylo Ren (with display base and metal helmet, The Black Series 6-Inch)  hit a few weeks ago, and it's surprisngly decent.  He has a metal helmet and a cloth cape, and if that weren't enough there's also a display base that can connect to Snoke's throne.   It's a lot of plastic, and you're charged accordingly.  Is it worth it?
