The Sith Celebrate The Saga set comes with a never-before-released action figure. But is a 5POA version of TC-4 worth your $30? (more….)

We finally get OOM-10 in the Fan Channel exclusive Galactic Republic Celebrate The Saga multipack. But it’s a crappy 5POA version. It’s maddening! (more….)

5POA is never OK, but at least Hasbro did something good with the Celebrate The Force multipacks, a parting gift for collectors as they close the tooling archives on these figures forever. The Bounty Hunters set includes a new take on R5-P8 that uses the same tooling as a The Vntage Collection figure. This character first saw release in Disney’s Droid Factory line. The rest of this multipack is a waster Are you buying these sets for your collection? (more….)

Here is the Photo Real-updated Kanan Jarrus, and it makes the first version look pathetic. Launching the new fourth phase of The Black Series 6″ line with a wave of Fan Channel exclusive Star Wars Rebels figures was clever. Are you repurchasing them for your collection? (more….)

The newly-released The Black Series [Phase IV] Sabine Wren is almost like an all-new figure. Hasbro changed the paint operations on almost every part of the figure. Will you be getting the upgrade? (Psst. They finally got her skin color correct!) (more….)

Let’s open up a brand new category in our RDRs today! We’ll start The Black Series [Phase IV] 6″ line with the Photo Real version of Ezra Bridger.

So Hasbro can make a box “vac-metalized” but can’t do the same for the figure inside of it? The Black Series [Phase III] Stormtrooper (Carbonized) figure has a box that’s more silvery and shinier than itself. What’s up with that?! (more….)

Do you want to know what sets the reissue of 2020’s TVC Boba Fett’s Slave I apart from the 2013 TVC Slave I (Boba Fett’s Spaceship) Amazon exclusive? A lot. We have completed a full 76-image gallery for you to peruse, updated the review and Collector Notes which outline all of the difference for you. We also kept the old gallery too. Hasbro did collectors a solid here. Check it out! By the way, we’re treating the re-release of this vehicle no differently than the TVC basic figures than also get reissued, so we’ve updated the original review from 2013 and added details separating the two releases.
