Our next Visual Guide update from The Black Series [Phase IV] is Teebo (Ewok) (ROTJ02). Click below to check out our full Visual Guide. You can also read our full review right here.

Hasbro omitted a very important accessory with The Black Series [Phase IV] Teebo (Ewok) figure. Also, why did they qualify the character’s name with “Ewok”? Why is Hasbro so confused? (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 12!

The Vintage Collection Wicket (VC27) re-release is an odd choice. But we’re thrilled to report it might be the best evidence of Phot Real deco in all The Vintage Collection. While imperfect, Hasbro got Wicket very close to screen-accuracy with updated deco focusing on the cowl as well as the figure’s fur and facial features. For The Vintage Collection “2.0” lineup, Wicket received a significant amount of updating. In our opinion, Wicket’s Photo Real deco is stunning. Star Wars collectors now have FIVE carded versions to track down of Wicket (VC27). We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 100-image gallery complete with both versions (2012 and 2020) featured, comparison shots, diorama shots with Kenner’s Star Wars: Ewoks figures, and a breakdown of what separates the two releases in the Collector Notes. Check out this excellently updated figure in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

You saw our The Pathway To The Vintage Collection Special Report published on August 6th. Now we’re revisiting the figures that set The Vintage Collection in motion. Let’s continue moving ahead with 2006’s VTSC Han Solo (In Trench Coat) figure in our newly updated review, complete with new text and photos and Visual Guide. This figure still looks great in 2020!

Today is the last day before the final month of RDRs! But before we begin May, let’s end April with another one of the BEST EXCLUSIVES Hasbro ever produced. Let’s finish it off with 2003’s Star Wars “Saga” [Phase II] Princess Leia On Speeder (Endor Forest Chase) TARGET exclusive set. It’s probably the best of them all!

We’re rapidly approaching the final month of RDRs! But before starting off May, let’s end April with some of the BEST EXCLUSIVES Hasbro has ever produced. We’re continuing with 2001’s Power Of The Jedi Speeder Bike (With Luke Skywalker) Action Collection TARGET exclusive. It’s incredible and has the best Luke Skywalker figure packed in with it! The Speeder Bike is HUGE and entirely delightful too! See more in our Research Droids Reviews today!

Warok • The Power Of The Force • 1985

Anakin Skywalker • The Power Of The Force • 1985

Romba • The Power Of The Force • 1985

Paploo • Return Of The Jedi • 1984

Lumat • Return Of The Jedi • 1984

Wicket W. Warrick • Return Of The Jedi • 1984

Logray (Ewok Medicine Man) • Return Of The Jedi • 1983

Instead of the Ewok pictured below, we got a Logray-esque version in the Kmart exclusive The Vintage Collection Ewok Assault Catapult called Stemzee. Lovingly referred to as the speckled Dalmation Ewok, Hasbro has YET to give us this screen-accurate version of Brethupp. We think it’s time Hasbro gets this long-awaited Ewok out to The Vintage Collection fans. How about you? It doesn’t matter how this Ewok comes, just get it out!

There are two other super-articulated action figures that longtime Star Wars collectors want to see released by Hasbro, and preferably part of The Vintage Collection. The first was supposed to be part of the 2012 Star Wars [The Phantom Menace 3D] Ewok Pack, but Lucasfilm didn’t approve it because they wanted a friendlier face on Teebo. But this version is 100% screen-accurate. We also need Teebo carded for The Vintage Collection. The second figure is the canceled running change of the Legacy Collection Utai (BD41) figure, without headgear and came with a fuel filling device. Would you like to see either finally released for your collection?
