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

ARC-170 Fighter - TAC - Vehicles (Exclusive)
Whether you’re a fan or not of Tartakovksy’s Clone Wars, you likely are very aware of the famous “space whale” deco from the opening sequence of Volume 2. That ship has become the basis for multiple releases across various scales (many of which are exclusives) by Hasbro.... (read the full review)

Vulture Droid - SW [TPM 3D] - Discover The Force (1 of 2)
In 1999, not too many people knew the correct scale of a vulture droid. On May 3, 1999 collectors were treated to what Hasbro called Trade Federation Droid Fighters and in a mid-size vehicle box that retailed for $19.99, you actually got three of them. That should give you some idea of how off the scale was.... (read the full review)

Dewback - SW [TPM 3D] - Discover The Force (1 of 2)
Confusion is a big part of being an active Hasbro Star Wars collector. Often times Hasbro rereleases items that didn’t sell through the first time. Then they bring less to the table for that subsequent rerelease and try to repackage it as something new.... (read the full review)

IG-88 (Assassin Droid) - Scum & Villainy - 1:6 Scale Figures

Clone Commander Cody - SW [TPM 3D] - The Clone Wars (CW7)
Murphy’s Law strikes the Hasbro Star Wars basic figure line again. Just as The Clone Wars television show started reaching and captivating those who were only interested in the films, the toy line has begun to wane. It may be too early to make that assessment, but a big chunk of the collecting community is in mourning and are hoping that Hasbro has plans for many more action figures in that style.....

Anakin Skywalker - SW [TPM 3D] - The Clone Wars (CW1)
Typically the Expanded Universe is much more special to “movie only” Star Wars fans when the dots can be connected to eventually reach the films. And authors of the various Expanded Universe stories are have picked up on this for years. Sometimes it’s more obvious than others. In the original Clone Wars micro-series, Genndy Tartakovsky brought the final Battle of Coruscant right to the opening crawl of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith (and it was amazing)....

Clone Trooper (Phase II Armor) - SW [TPM 3D] - The Clone Wars (CW2)
The look of The Clone Wars changed halfway through Season 3. Many of the characters we’ve watched for the first few seasons in the television show began to morph to their appearances to more like how they looked in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith.... (read the full review)
