Review: Asajj Ventress - TVC - VC364

It took Hasbro 17 years to produce a modern, super-articulated, and realistic version of Asajj Ventress, based on The Clone Wars, in the basic figure line. While not perfect, it’s a lovely addition to The Vintage Collection. See more in our Research Droids Reviews today. (more….)

Review: Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) - TVC - VC362

The Sistine Chapel, Misery’s Return, and The Vintage Collection’s Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) are the only three divine things. See why you must purchase this figure even though Hasbro hates us by releasing it as a fake Deluxe figure. See more in our Research Droids Reviews today. (more….)

Review: Clone Trooper (501st Legion) [OWK] - TVC - VC240

Here is a somewhat odd re-release for The Vintage Collection. We’re looking at Aurra Sing, which was part of the final wave of The Vintage Collection during its initial run. Now it’s back with a little more and a lot less. Hasbro takes one step forward and three steps back. The deco is much improved, but the figure comes with four fewer accessories and costs $5-$7 more. The revised paint operations look great, including updated Photo Real. But will this meet your expectations? We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 72-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2025 reissue in the Collector Notes. There’s more difference here than you may realize.

Hasbro will likely focus on re-releasing as many cantina patrons as they can so collectors don’t have figure-less HasLabs. Today, let us check out Doctor Evazan [Dr.Evazan (Cantina Patron)] figure, another reissue that looks stellar. The revised paint operations look great, and this time Hasbro remedied the mismatched ankle joints. Hasbro also worked in a half-toning for the figure’ chest hair and other features. And let’s not forget about the Photo Real updating. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 60-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2025 reissue in the Collector Notes. If you like trivia, it’s just a coincidence that we are republishing this figure’s updated review 13 year TO THE DAY from the original publication date. See this impressive figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

Review: Lieutenant Callahan - TVC - VC351

It seems as if Lieutenant Callahan is as relevant to the Star Wars timeline as the Blue Origin “astroNOTs” are to space sailing. Check out this figure from The Vintage Collection line in our Research Droids Reviews today. (more….)
