The Photo Real updates to the Rogue One characters are impressive. The Chirrut Îmwe 6-inch figure is a testament to why this was necessary as well. (more….)

Most of us needed a hole in our head before another Jyn Erso 6-inch figure, but this one is the one you should purchase for your collection. It’s the best we’ll ever get of this character from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. (more….)

Hasbro made collectors wait a half decade before releasing Bodhi Rook into The Black Series 6-inch line. But the figure looks excellent. (more….)

The Vintage Collection Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing Fighter with exclusive VC204 Antoc Merrick pack-in figure is relatively gorgeous. But who wanted this thing? (more….)

More repainted figures! We’re getting the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story cast plus one new character, with all-new paint operations. Let’s check out K-2SO. It looks good, but why did Hasbro revert? (more….)

It’s interesting how the “carbonized” The Vintage Collection figures are generally terrible, but the Shoretrooper (Carbonized) figure isn’t. It’s actually pretty nice! Check it out. (more….)

After my nausea subsided from being slapped in the face by boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of Rey (Island Journey) action figures from three years ago, I became even more jaded by what else I found at Ollie’s. (more….)

We’re finishing up the fourth wave of The Black Series Archive line with the Imperial Death Trooper. It’s nearly identical to the first release. Check it out! (more….)

The Black Series Archive line affords collectors of the 6″ line a second chance at figures that are much too expensive on the aftermarket. They included the previous Walmart exclusive and renamed Shoretrooper in the latest assortment Check it out! (more….)

There is going to be a lot of barking and clapping for The Vintage Collection Tantive IV Corridor playset. It could have been a whole lot better. And the pack-in figure enrages us. Hasbro is still playing the scam game of making you buy “one half for the price of one whole.” It should be two for the price of one instead. (A more expanded gallery is coming soon!) (more….)

Wow. Not only is the new The Vintage Collection Rogue One Darth Vader awesome, but it’s also built from many existing parts. It’s about 75% old and 25% new. We provided comparison pictures of this new figure against all existing TVC Darth Vader basic action figures so you can see how far Hasbro has come with technology and kit-bashing parts. Hey, did you notice that VC number too? And what about those molded lower robes? (more….)

Tonight’s Visual Guide Update features another addition to The Vintage Collection. Click below to check out Chirrut Îmwe (VC174). You can also read our full review of this figure right here.

Is this Chirrut Îmwe from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, or is it Otto The AutoPilot from Airplane!? We’re not certain. Chirrut Îmwe should have been a slam dunk/hit-it-out-of the-park perfect action figure, but we think it lacks in some important ways. (more….)

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….)
