Research Droids Reviews: October 12, 2011 – October 18, 2011

Ponda Baba (Walrus Man) - TVC - Basic (VC70)
Updates to some of the earliest neo-classic Star Wars action figures are still happening thank goodness. What would a Star Wars basic action figure line be without new and improved versions of the figures we grew up with in the 70s and 80s? Some updates are taking a lot longer than expected, but at least they’re still coming and that’s pretty much what can be said of Ponda Baba (Walrus Man).... (read the full review)

Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Battle Gear) - TVC - Basic (VC68)
Collectors can rejoice again with another vintage update released in the modern The Vintage Collection. Hasbro now issues us the Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Battle Gear) as the modern replacement for the 1980 Kenner Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear) figure, a figure that has been years long overdue....

Bastila Shan - TVC - Basic (VC69)
We hope that all of you out there in cyberspace who voted for Bastila Shan way back in 2009 are happy. How Expanded Universe characters rank so high in various Fans’ Choice polls is really beyond our own comprehension. We’re not being sore losers nor are we giving a dig to those who voted for her, but The Vintage Collection should first and foremost be about the Original Trilogy, then the Prequel Trilogy and lastly the Expanded Universe....

B-wing Pilot (Keyan Farlander) - TVC - Basic (VC63)
It took a quarter of a century for Star Wars collectors to get the long awaited modern update to the vintage Kenner B-wing Pilot action figure. It was nearly the poster child for a peg-warmer, but that didn’t stop us from thoroughly enjoying sticking him in the cockpit of our B-wing Fighter Vehicle however.... (read the full review)

Han Solo (In Trench Coat) - TVC - Basic (VC62)
The Saga Collection brought a wonderful amount of excellent action figures to collectors. One figure released in the premium-packaged “vintage” The Saga Collection (simply known as VTSC to collectors) has held up remarkably well today despite a few updates to it over the years and is more commonly known as Han Solo (In Trench Coat)....

Princess Leia (Slave Outfit) - TVC - Basic (VC64)
When Hasbro nails an action figure, they really nail it and it essentially becomes a symbol of what all action figures should aspire. The second red phase of the Legacy Collection brought us some of the best action figures Hasbro will ever produce in their lifetime and one of the standout figures was Princess Leia (BD17)....

TIE Fighter Pilot - TVC - Basic (VC65)
The TIE Fighter Pilot sculpt that originated in the 2008 The Legacy Collection Evolutions line has worn out its welcome in the Star Wars line now. Hasbro, we beg of you, the TIE Fighter Pilot character is in need of an all-new sculpt.... (read the full review)
