Research Droids Reviews: July 25, 2012 – July 31, 2012

Anakin Skywalker - ROTS - Basic (III 2)
When Hasbro has something in their heads, there is likely nothing collectors can do to help them change it. Hasbro has believed for years that action features are necessary for their action figures during a movie year. Aside from Episode I, the Star Wars collections (for Episode II and Episode III) featured a large portion of the collection of figures that included some sort of action feature in them....

Darth Vader (Duel At Mustafar) - ROTS - Basic (Exclusive)
So close but no cigar! Hasbro delivers a concept that is more than worth its weight in gold but then it all falls apart when that concept goes into production and becomes a reality. The Duel At Mustafar TARGET exclusive figures are exclusives that should have been much better than they turned out.... (read the full review)

Obi-Wan Kenobi - ROTS - Basic (III 1)
Do you find it ever so slightly odd that Hasbro opened up the Revenge Of The Sith line with Obi-Wan Kenobi instead of Anakin Skywalker, or for that matter Darth Vader? Ultimately it doesn’t mean a hill of beans what figure kicks off a line look of basic figures.... (read the full review)

So that’s exactly what he did. He called upon concept artists to design unique and very specific color flashes to help determine where a certain clone served in the Clone Wars....

Covert Ops Clone Trooper - ROTS - Exclusive
There comes a figure every now and again that just knocks the socks off of collectors. But what if that figure is a new concept and not based on any Star Wars character from the films. It goes without saying that most collectors want action figures based on the films.... (read the full review)

Snaggletooth [Blue] - Jumbo Vintage Kenner Figures
Well, we have just discovered the best exclusive of 2012. Gentle Giant Ltd.’s products have always been impressive. Their Mini Busts, Maquettes and Jumbo Vintage Kenner Figure lines are amongst some of the best Star Wars collectibles money can buy. Some are obviously better than others, but for the most part they produce some of the best high-end collectibles for collectors.... (read the full review)
