The Force Spirits (Anakin Skywalker/Yoda/Obi-Wan Kenobi) three-figure multipack will get overlooked by many collectors, but it’s one of the nicer 40th Anniversary things Hasbro’s done for Return Of The Jedi this year (more….)

November 17, 2023, celebrates the 45th anniversary of The Star Wars Holiday Special and the public consciousness of Life Day. Hasbro created the Chewbacca (Life Day) figure to commemorate this and hopefully make The Vintage Collection collectors happy. It worked for us. (more….)

Hasbro released the Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure with the wrong nameplate and character photo. It’s like Hasbro are amateurs at this. It’s part of The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] lineup. (more….)

Hasbro finally gives us a new 6-inch Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) figure, and it corrects all of the sins of the first-generation release. You’re going to love this one, folks! It also is part of The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] lineup. (more….)

What a disappointment! Hasbro FINALLY gets Nien Nunb out to the public again, and it’s still too short, and they neglected the dark pink mouth paint operations once AGAIN! What’s up with this incompetent design team in Rhode Island? Anyway, check out the new version. It comes with less paint and a Return Of The Jedi 40 logo. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 68-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2023 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this anticipated figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

The 6-inch Rebel Commando is laughably expensive but a beautiful figure nonetheless. Check it out along with the “Nik Sant” interchangeable faceplate. (more….)

It’s 50% an older TVC figure, but Han Solo is a remarkable release. (Where is this figure’s subtitle?) But did Hasbro cheap out on this figure, however? Find out so! (more….)

You have to wonder what Hasbro’s defect is anymore. We’ll be charged with nitpicking here by the Hasbro sycophants and bootlickers, but we demand quality. And we’ll go public with our disdain regardless of the ramifications. How could they not correct and properly update Nien Nunb before announcing its re-release? Not only did they neglect to correct the figure’s height. (Nien Nunb is tall like the Sullustan B-wing pilots and not short like the action figure. Photographic evidence exists and proves this unequivocally.) But even worse, they didn’t bother to fix the figure’s upper lip with the darker brown color. (more….)
