The Walmart-exclusive ARC Commander Havoc is nice to own after 15 years, but it’s boring now. And it is expensive. . (more….)

The Han Solo (Endor) figure from the Retro Collection line is not bad. But did any of us need another version of this Han Solo ever again in our collections? (more….)

Now let’s look at the Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) figure from the Retro Collection line. Do you know this figure’s secret? (more….)

Well, the Endor Bunker is released and comes with a cool interpretation of Nik Sant. The verdict is still out on this playset, but it’s better than we thought. (more….)

We get to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi with 5POA action figures. But what the heck happened to the characters in this newest wave? Check out Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) in the Retro Collection line. (more….)

We finally have “most of” Figrin D’an And The Modal Nodes in The Vintage Collection. We won’t complain much here, but we don’t understand why they did omit a major player in the band. Is this worth the $90 it commands? (more….)

It’s the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi! And the Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard) figure is a lovely but unnecessary addition to the line. (more….)

It’s the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi! And the Biker Scout figure feels like salt in the wound. (more….)

It’s the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi! And the Princess Leia (Endor) figure is a wise choice to repack. But why couldn’t they fix the character’s name to include “general”? What a bunch of misogynistic women-haters Hasbro is! (more….)

As we continue living through the unending hellish nightmare of Diseasney Star Wars, I do my best to look for whatever glimmer of hope, ray of light, or saving grace that will keep me engaged. Sadly, it doesn’t work nearly as much as it should or could. But the other day, I unintentionally channeled the Grinch in the scene where he cracked a maniacal smile, and his heart swelled. (more….)

It’s the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi, and instead of an updated Barada, the Klatooinian we get is the repacked Klatooinian Raider released three years earlier. But we’re not bitter. (more….)

It’s another beautiful release in The Vintage Collection. But will you want the Cal Kestis figure from the Jedi Survivor video game? (more….)

Wow! The Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser) figure is pretty dang nice. You may want to buy it to replace your Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure. With many new parts and a pure black costume, could this be the surprise figure of 2023? (more….)

Do you know how bad that headline is? I can’t believe I am conceding that, but it’s true. And it’s all Hasbro’s fault. OK, that’s a bit much and hyperbolic. But they aren’t without blame. Take a walk with me down memory lane, and see if you agree with my assessment that the Hasbro Star Wars brand is walking in a minefield with no escape plan. The lack of respect for the 40th Anniversary of the most toyetic Star Wars film should be clanging in your ears and burning your eyes that things are in complete chaos and disarray in Rhode Island and that perhaps they’re the wrong gatekeepers for Star Wars action figures.

The Retro Collection line is losing its luster and beginning to pile up everywhere. And what about Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder) (Prototype Edition)? Are you sick of the rainbow figures yet? (more….)

It’s not much more than a repaint (with some new tooling), but the Artillery Stormtrooper is one of the highlights, so far, in 2023. See why you’ll want this one. (more….)

Who? Exactly. It’s 2023 and the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi, and we get ANOTHER Disney Star Wars figure, this time Vel Sartha. We reference Seinfeld in this review today. Because look at that head! (more….)
