Let’s continue our Visual Guide updates for the Walmart exclusive Original 96 wave. Next up is ARTOO-DETOO (R2-D2) (VC234). Click below for our full Visual Guide, and click here to read our full review.

There are pros and cons to the R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick’s Droid) figure. Hasbro evidently tweaked the existing tooling to make almost all parts function as they did over a decade ago. So, that’s good. But this tooling needs to be retired. The scale is too small, and collectors deserve a premium astromech droid to fill the socket of Blue Leader’s X-Wing fighter. Oh, unrelated, and for trivia buffs, today is our 4,444th RDR! Enjoy! (more….)

Does the use of the words “Ewok Village” in Princess Leia (Ewok Village) intimate that Hasbro might be working on a 3.75-inch playset or figure for the 40th Anniversary of Return Of The Jedi? It’s an odd choice of words to describe an action figure of a character from Episode VI, but it could be nothing at all. It’s a beautiful action figure. And most importantly it’s one of the most-needed updates in The Vintage Collection. (more….)
