Weekly Research Droids Reviews Recap

Queen Amidala - TVC - Basic (VC84)
We’re even surprising ourselves that The Vintage Collection’s Queen Amidala figure from The Phantom Menace wave has become one of our most favorite. It’s not like any new ground has been broken here. No, Hasbro approached this version of Queen Amidala the same way they did for the last three to four takes of her.... (read the full review)

Quinlan Vos - TVC - Basic (VC85)
Once in a Hasbro Q&A session, a fan site asked them if there were any figures in particular that they were extremely proud of and Hasbro immediately responded with [at the time] the upcoming Quinlan Vos figure. And you know what? They definitely have reason to be extraordinarily proud of it.... (read the full review)

Ben Quadinaros & Otoga-222 - TVC - Basic (VC81)
If you peruse our Research Droids Reviews with any regularity, you probably are aware of the trend (that for reasons unknown) we despise pretty much anything tied to the Boonta Eve Classic podrace sequence in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.... (read the full review)

Daultay Dofine - TVC - Basic (VC82)
“Viceroy, I don’t want this stunted slime in my sight again!” But you’ll definitely want him in your line of sight for your collection! Trust us on this one! After years of giving us one statuesque Neimoidian “action” figure after another for over a decade, Hasbro steps up to the plate big time and produces an amazing body sculpt for this humanoid species....

Naboo Royal Guard - TVC - Basic (VC83)
We feel slightly anxious that the collecting fan base may not think too much about the brand new Naboo Royal Guard. You might feel indifferent about him, but we want to make it known that it’s one of the stars of The Phantom Menace wave of The Vintage Collection.... (read the full review)

Battle Droid - TVC - Basic (VC78)
Oh boy. This will likely be a controversial review so buckle yourselves in tightly, OK? We wonder why Hasbro feels it’s so necessary to develop an all-new sculpt for a staple Star Wars character when they already have a “good enough” version in circulation.... (read the full review)
