Star Wars Collectible News, Photos, and Reviews

We may be featuring the first 12 The "Vintage" Original Trilogy Collection figures in our Research Droids Reviews at the moment, but with one more to go tomorrow (Boba Fett), we thought you'd also like to know that we have been updating the "Vintage" The Saga Collection action figures as well. Click any thumbnail below to see all-new expanded galleries with up to two and/or three times more images, updated Collector Notes, comparison shots to the original Kenner figures from 1978-1985 and brand new reference stills on most of these figures. See how the early "vintage styled" lineups progressed to the point that brought us up to the outstanding The Vintage Collection, a line that ended all too soon. Enjoy! (You can see the complete list of the VTSC reviews HERE.)

The month of May just has this overall Star Wars vibe to it, doesn't it? On top of Star Wars Fans' official holiday (May the Fourth Be With You), all six Star Wars films have been released in May as well. Beginning tomorrow and for the next 21 days we will be celebrating this in our own special way by focusing on Original Trilogy products in our Research Droids Reviews, most of which have been released in "vintage styled" packaging. Be sure to come back for this run of reviews. We would also like to thank you for being patient with us during our Mini Bust marathon. We realize that format isn't for everyone, but you've made it a success nonetheless.

What is your verdict on the brand new Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Padawan) figure by Sideshow Collectibles? I have already read comments ranging from "awesome" to "it looks nothing like Ewan McGregor" (huh?). Let us know in our comments and be sure to check out our full assessment of this beauty in our Research Droids Reviews!

Thanks for your patience with us regarding our "placeholder" gallery in the Luke Skywalker (OTC #01) RDR today. We have just updated the review and added an all-new gallery with 24 brand new pictures. We hope you enjoy the update. Sjefke, you better be happy! Special thanks to Chuck for coming to the rescue and taking half of the pictures in this new gallery.

Just in case you missed any of them, click any thumbnail image below to see the last figures from the final wave of the Movie Heroes line that "probably" won't be coming to USA customers. These "international exclusives" (that is our assumption) may not all see release in the USA right away (if at all – we hope we're wrong – and definitely unlikely in the 2012 SW [TPM 3D] line look with the Galactic Battle Game cards). And figures like the tan Battle Droid and Boba Fett are NOT in the plans for the 2013 line look either right now. If you do collect this line, we did all the hard work to bring them to you in one place - both in our popular Visual Guide and Research Droid Reviews formats. We'd also like to mention that without our good friends Mats J. from Sweden and Julien M. from France we would still be empty-handed. We would like to publicly thank them again for their respective assistance.

We have a few neat things planned for our readers on New Year's Day as we celebrate an all new exciting year of Star Wars, but we wanted to give you a little tease now to build some anticipation. New 2013 product will begin being reviewed on the first of January. In preparation for this, we have already established the new category: Star Wars [Attack Of The Clones/Revenge Of The Sith 3D]. It will be abbreviated as SW [AOTC/ROTS 3D] in our RDRs!
