Given the nebulous nature of what constitutes an actual full figure, the Red R9-Series Astromech Droid is more than a little arbitrary. We'll be viewing the Star Tours Droid Factory figures as unique characters, defined by the dome. (The body is, of course, up to you.) This one is bright red, almost orange, with a rich silver texture and a softer sculpt than his brothers. Is it worth the trip and obscene price on eBay?
Let's look at Dagobah Darth Vader. The funny thing about this one, there are two other versions of the "character" but all of them are a little different. Why is this one the best?
This Darth Maul is a lot like another Darth Maul, but it's got a jacket. But no shirt. Why? I have no idea, but here it is so read on.
Check out this Clone Trooper. It's red! There are other ones too, but this one is red. It also has some added panel lining, so it looks good. Read on!
This Power Droid is in stores now, exclusive to Target and an all-new tool. The top comes off! Amazing. Well, it's neat, let's say. Is it worth your while? Read on!
While not the last, this release of Commander Bacara may well be the best. It came in a Battle Pack and has some nice damage deco. Should you get yours? Read on!
Remember Durge? Nine years ago, he was revealed as a toy for the very first time and this animated version of the figure came a little bit later. Is he cool?
Hey kids, this figure is labeled Queen Amidala and it's old. It's pretty good, though! The detail is good, the deco is nice, and it's pretty cheap. Read on!
While not quite a figure, but way cooler than just an accessory, this year's SDCC exclusive Jar Jar Binks in Carbonite is a real oddity. You can sort of see it in The Force Unleashed, it has a great sculpt, but it's a little small to fit Jar Jar. Yet it's one of the most compelling items of the year.
A 1999 weapon with a 2012 figure! This Qui-Gon Jinn has an amazing sculpt, yet has articulation that seemed dated in 1983. It's a good thing it's awesome overall-- read on, you'll like this one!
It's Princess Leia in Bespin Gown, part of the latest wave (and Comic-Con exclusive pack) from Hasbro! Even though the last one was good, this one is an improvement. Should you get one?
New for 2012, but old now, is the first-ever movie-specific Quinlan Vos figure. Based on a background extra, this presumed authentic release looks fantastic. Should you get one?
While not as new as some recently featured figures, Yoda is no less impressive! This tiny figure is more of a statue than an action figure, and he's super-cheap on eBay. The figure has an amazing paint job and, frankly, looks better than a lot of the movie Yodas out there.
