Research Droids Reviews looks at a figure that should have come out in April 2009 but instead has just been released as a Toys R Us exclusive.

There always seems to be one boring figure when the rest of the wave is pretty awesome, right?

Proving that not even Hasbro can keep track of their action figures due to how many are out there, our friends at Yakface.com are reporting that the Saga Legends Darth Vader has now gone from the 2008 TLC BD 8 figure to the 2005 ROTS 500th Figure! Click the image below to see their report!

Nearly two weeks ago we reported that Toys R Us would reset the front of their stores today to show off all of the new Star Wars products. The stores are now freshly set and while no new product was put out, it's good to know that TRU has made Star Wars a focus in their stores for the Fall season!

Hot Topics: Tonnika Sisters (again), Jabba's sail barge, concept Princess Leia, "last wave" syndrome and a Death Star playset!

Deak Starkiller. It's how Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia came to be....sort of. Research Droids Reviews looks at a figure that many people mistake for Princess Leia, but Starkiller Hero is not her at all. And she definitely isn't Luke. Be sure to check back with us as we address this hot topic in greater detail in our 2nd Q&A With JTA column later today! But for now, check out the review of the figure first.

This year is certainly turning out to be the year of The Vintage Collection, but it also has had a big focus on Jabba The Hutt, specifically Jabba's Throne (our Research Droids Review of it is found here) which is "right now" a very difficult exclusive to locate. While you wait for the 2010 Jabba to become more readily available, check out a cool vintage collecting blog (Action Figure Toys) that we came across with a rich amount of detail on many original Kenner vintage items. While perusing we discovered a cool entry on a Sears' exclusive Jabba The Hutt in a white box. You probably already know about the white box variation by now, but click through to check out the original Sears catalogue page that advertised this item as well as the bizarre group of figures that made it into the photo shoot! We could be having a false memory right now, but we swear we've read this text before as kids a long time ago....

Gentle Giant, Ltd. has sent out their September solicitations and have announced the next two figures in the Jumbo Kenner action figure lines: Han Solo and Chewbacca. What's more, they are releasing both Han Solo versions; one with a small head and one with a large head. The small head will be the variant. How cool is that? Click through to check them all out!

Our good friends at Yakface.com are the first to report that wave 3 of The Clone Wars line has hit TRU stores. Be on the ready for this very cool wave!

Never in a million years did we ever expect to see a YouTube video blending two of the biggest yet unrelated things from the 70s together. VideoViper takes a cover version of former pop super group ABBA's "Super Trouper" (definitely not as good as the original) and mixes it with Star Wars action figures to make "Super Trooper" an action figure music video. If you like kitsch, Star Wars and just a cool tune that was hit way before the Broadway show Mamma Mia! made it bigger, then be sure to check it out. And please don't make us feel any older by asking who ABBA is. This is corny, but humorous folks.

OK, we have another rant. And you, our readers, seem to get a kick out of when we blow our tops. So here we go again....

Is it sad that some incredible collectibles are capable of bringing tears of joy? We won't give you even a second to answer that question because you need to spend your time checking out today's Research Droids Reviews entry for the 12" 501st Legion Clone Trooper, another knock-it-out-of-the-park figure from Sideshow Collectibles.

JTA reader Tay alerts us to an interesting packaging error on The Vintage Collection's AT-AT Commander in an auction on eBay. The auction lasts 12 days form this posting. While the asking price of the auction is comical, sometimes it is neat to see factory errors.

Our Q&A With JTA queue is running low! We are covered for this Sunday for our September 19th column, but we will need more questions for our third installment coming September 26th. Please submit questions to [email protected]. Thank you again for making this column successful so far.

Our good friends at DewbackPatrol.com have posted a humorous (depending upon your point of view, this issue has angered many) commentary on the state of how their Rocket Firing Boba Fett figures arrived to them. Ours didn't come to us much better. This is undoubtedly a global issue at this point. It would have been better if Hasbro gave these figures to Toys R Us just like they did for Australia. Click through to check out their post! It is an entertaining read.

You saw our review on the 12" Rebel Fleet Trooper yesterday and Research Droids Reviews looks at the man who led them all, Captain Raymus Antilles! We didn't get the greatest look at his face in Episode IV, but he was the first victim of Darth Vader we ever saw and that left an indelible mark on our minds.

During our first Q&A With JTA segment a question was asked about the Sandstorm Leia figure. Our good friends at Jedi-Business.com have received word from Hasbro via their own Q&A that she is coming end of 2011, assuming they don't bump her...again!

Research Droids Reviews will be looking at a few 12 Inch figures by Sideshow Collectibles through the rest of the week (including a just released new figure on Friday).

JTA spoke to Hasbro today and they are asserting that The Vintage Collection mail-away rocket-firing Boba Fett mail-away figures are indeed leaving their fulfillment center warehouses in perfect condition. They also explained that they cannot be held responsible for what the USPS has done to the packaging. Hasbro will only replace figures if and only if the actual figure is defective in some way. (Maybe Hasbro needs to find another shipping vendor.) Ugh! If you aren't too angry, check out our review on this piece. It's such a wonderful thing to have in your collection despite it arriving rather smashed, but then again, we are loose collectors first!

JTA reader Joseph Mays writes in with news that ESPN.com is featuring the Admiral Ackbar for Mascot campaign in multiple banners on their site, a story that we initially reported to you earlier in the year. Wow, this is really getting big publicity. Click the thumbnail below to check it out!

Guess what arrived on our doorstep yesterday? Research Droids Reviews is proud to present to you our first thoughts and impressions on the absolute best mail-away exclusive Hasbro has ever given us. (And it's probably one of the best action figures in general we have received from them also!) Sit back, relax and check out the modern release of an action figure so many of us wish we got back in 1979. But it's here for us to enjoy now and it's better than ever and even comes carded for the very first time! Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

A big thank you to everyone who checked out our first Q&A With JTA column. We got a great response and have plans for our second one very shortly. We are "moving" the column to Sunday nights going forward, so look for our next one on September 19, 2010. Please don't stop the flow of questions coming in to us. We would love to keep this going weekly if at all possible. As always, e-mail questions to [email protected]. Thank you once again!

Palpatine gets even more love today as we feature an awesome 12" two-pack of him in today's Research Droids Reviews. This set was done very well and it contained the very first collectible version of the "Senate Duel" Darth Sidious (with an accurate costume no less) that came more than two years before the Hasbro version!

We felt compelled to apologize for our initial flippancy towards The Vintage Collection's See-Threepio (C-3PO) action figure. While we are confident about what we write in our reviews, our initial posting was a bit harsh and we wanted to "make things right" by adding some new photos and a whole new review to show our newfound affection towards this figure. The figure has grown on us tremendously and while we remain steadfast on some of our complaints with him, he continually impresses us in some powerfully wonderful ways. We suggest checking out our revised Research Droids Review and photo gallery and see if you feel the same way. (Special thanks to Mr. Curto for bringing C-3PO's bonuses to our collective attention.)

Palpatine received some love from Hasbro in The Vintage Collection with the recently released "Senate Duel" Darth Sidious and now Sideshow Collectibles has just released their Episode VI interpretation of our favorite Sith Master.

JTA has found out through our Toys R Us sources that they are launching a new Star Wars "shop" in their store on September 23rd with a (gasp!) focus on products in The Vintage Collection. While it will probably just be wave 1 and wave 2 and maybe bigger supplies of the AT-AT, it will be nice to walk into TRU and not be bombarded with tie-dyed ninja hamsters.

Did you miss the Dewback with Imperial Sandtrooper Walmart exclusive in 2009's Legacy Collection? Did you want to get your paws on that super-articulated Sandtrooper? Research Droids Reviews is here to let you know that you now have ample opportunity to get more than one, in fact, as many as you'd like to army build. But this also means that we sadly [temporarily] conclude adding new figures to our database for the time being since wave 2 of The Vintage Collection comes to a close. Sandtrooper looks absolutely splendid on the vintage card back. (Hey, November isn't that far away for the incredible forthcoming Return Of The Jedi wave should start hitting.

JTA UK reader Matt Hammonds writes in with news that his local Sainsbury store has two new 4 packs in stock including The Hidden Enemy and Hostage Crisis sets. These probably won't be too far behind in the USA!

Welcome to Q&A With JTA! We proudly present to you our very first column where you asked the questions and we delivered the answers.

Hot Topics: The Rise Of Boba Fett Slave I, limited availability of Jabba's Throne Walmart exclusive, green crossbows, figures from deleted scenes, "orange" figures and much more!

Research Droids Reviews checks out the last Revenge Of The Sith themed figure in wave 2 of The Vintage Collection and it's a figure we have seen 100 times before already. (We're exaggerating folks.) Obi-Wan Kenobi is a great figure and he has been great for five years now, but we don't think it was the best version of Episode III Obi-Wan Kenobi worthy for inclusion on a vintage-styled card back. Who knows, you may completely disagree. The revised "Shadow Of The Dark Side" Saga Legends Obi-Wan Kenobi is a much better choice in our opinion.

It's all the same when referring to the beautiful and gorgeous vintage-styled Imperial AT-AT! Just look at what we found at a TRU in Langhorne, PA. They are finally hitting the eastern side of the country!

It looks like TARGET has finally caught up with Toys R Us and Walmart for wave 2 of The Vintage Collection! It looks like the new figures were hit hard, but we did find a lowly UGH Han Solo (Echo Base Outfit). But the important news is that you have one more place to find these $2 cheaper than TRU!

Q&A With JTA questions are really starting to come in to us but we don't want that flow to slow! Thank you for those who have submitted.

Please continue to send it your questions and thank you once again! Please e-mail questions to [email protected] or click HERE to send them in.

Our friends at Sandtroopers.com have gotten their hands AGAIN on some upcoming Battle Packs. Please tell us Hasbro that that isn't the TSC Commander Cody in that set!? Where are the army-building regular clone troopers that should be in this set instead of another crappy Grievous? We finally get the Utapau inspired multipack that we've wanted for years and this is what we get?! UGH! Don't get us started! P.S. Does anyone else find it ironic that the inferior TSC Cody in this Battle Packs set gets the dirt/battle-damage on his legs that the TVC version should have?

Holy moly! The Rocket-Firing Boba Fett mail-away figure is arriving in mailboxes and on doorsteps! Be on the lookout!

JTA informant and friend "The Game" sends along some clever diorama images of some of our awesome action figures in even more awesome movie specific scenes! (Yes, those are action figures below!) Be sure to click through to check out all of these very cool images!

Research Droids Reviews is almost done spewing thoughts on the second wave of The Vintage Collection, which has been an overall extremely satisfying wave of figures! It's time for General Grievous, now complete with a soft-goods cape that holds eight lightsaber hilts (how fantastic is that?!) and improved wrist articulation as well as "newish" forearms!

We've been receiving report that TARGET has increased the price of their Saga Legends figures to $7.99. We aren't aware of how widespread this is, but TARGET for the most parts tends to do things nationally. With the recent news that we reported of Walmart knocking their figures down a dollar, we find this action interesting. What have you found? Let us know!

We're plugging through the second wave of The Vintage Collection! A brand new wave of figures hitting retail means all-new Research Droids Reviews!

Toys R Us stores in the Philly area are putting out large Star Wars displays in the center of their aisles. Loaded with tons of The Vintage Collection wave 1, we didn't find any of wave 2, but we did find lots of The Clone Wars and Saga Legends as well.

Here we go again! Another brand new wave of figures hitting retail means all-new Research Droids Reviews!! We start wave two of The Vintage Collection with the evil Darth Sidious which is the awesome first figure of the wave. We're not saying any more.

Pre-Cyborg Grievous is an action figure we should have loved a lot more than we did. He just got rereleased in the TRU exclusive Legacy Of The Dark Side two-packs, but his imperfections still haven't been addressed. Research Droids Reviews discusses this figure in detail and talks about why he doesn't totally succeed as an action figure. Even still, he was a nice addition to the Expanded Universe wave in the 30 (77-07) line, but we think it will take one more stab at him before he can be considered definitive.

Sideshow Collectibles has just announced their next in-store exclusive, the Blackhole Stormtrooper! Sideshow is claiming that it will be available in stores on or around September 9th. Click through to check out the preview page! Just when you thought Blackhole wouldn't rear its head again....

And speaking of Walmart, they have a very nice Star Wars "shop" at their online store and are offering $.97 shipping on all Hasbro Star Wars items until October 1st. Click through to see what they got in stock!

Someone important at the Walmart corporate division must be current with his 5 hour energy doses. We noticed that some of our local stores have reduced the price of both Saga Legends and The Clone Wars lines keeping them in swift competition with TARGET. It's unknown if TRU will follow suit.

Found! While waiting for our local Toys R Us store to open (because we got a tip from the manager that more TVC was coming), we stopped at our local Walmart in Tullytown, PA and nearly collapsed. No less than six brand new cases of wave two of The Vintage Collection were sitting there to greet us. We found all of the Ultimate Galactic Hunt figures as well as ALL of the new figures. This is the first we heard of this wave hitting Walmart, but what a steal at $7.96 when TRU is still trying to get $9.99 each for them! Click through to check out just a portion of our find! Oh, and these will start being added to our Research Droids Reviews on Saturday morning! Check back!

Who has the nastiest flesh wound of all? Research Droids Reviews makes a case that it is conclusively Darth Malak sans lower jaw. Eeeeewwwww! But despite his mortal injury, he is a pretty cool action figure that is just slightly out of perfect range in our opinion. Will Hasbro ever perfect him? That remains elusive, but the version that is available certainly should make KOTOR fans very happy. Click the banner below for the direct link to the review!

JTA reader Adri Bishop writes in with word that he found a Shaak Ti labeled Jaina Solo as well. If you remember our original report (found HERE), readers have been finding basic Legacy Collection figures with wrong inserts. We'll chalk it up to a massive screw up at the factory level.
