The Black Series [Phase IV] Darth Maul (Old Master) figure mainly uses existing parts, but there is some newness here too. The figure turned out well. (more….)

The Vintage Collection Count Dooku figure is a perfect ten. The only thing we’re disappointed in is the packaging. But aside from that, this figure has been worth the wait. (more….)

Hasbro produced another 4-inch action figure line, but this time, these figures are "different enough to make you mad" to the standard 3.75-inch scale. Find out more about Darth Vader from the Epic Hero Series line. (more….)

The Darth Vader (Duel’s End) figure from The Black Series line turned out excellently. But is it as good as The Vintage Collection version? (more….)

Remember when all those crazies got mad at us when Hasbro canceled the 2007 30th Anniversary Collection Darth Revan re-release after we told them not to re-release it? And remember when those same crazies believed that Hasbro just forgot to add the figure into the lineup instead of canceling it, thanks to that fake news on YouTube? Well, our work has paid off. Now, we have an all-new, super-articulated, and exquisitely detailed Darth Revan action figure. Sometimes, getting people mad pays off, so we’ll continue to upset them. (more….)

The last time Darth Malak entered the Star Wars action figure line was in 2007. It took Hasbro 16 years to produce another version; this time, it’s in a 6-inch scale. It’s a lovely release. (more….)

He is here! We had to get through an awful Disney Star Wars character before Hasbro returned to basics to produce the definitive “Return Of The Jedi” Darth Vader (Death Star II) figure. It may not be perfect, but we’re giving it a perfect score. Find out why! (more….)

Did you ever think we’d see an Infinities Darth Vader in the 6-inch scale? What we need most is an updated super-articulated 3.75-inch version! (more….)

It’s our 4400th RDR! And we’re wasting this spot on the Retro Collection’s Darth Vader (The Dark Times) figure! (more….)

Holy cow! If dealing with Disney Star Wars means we’ll get figures like The Vintage Collection Darth Vader (The Dark Times) action figure, then so be it because this is the BEST 3.75-INCH DARTH VADER Hasbro ever produced. That’s not an exaggeration. This action figure can do ANYTHING! By the way, it’s hilarious that they gave TVC collectors an all-new figure with interchangeable hands and just gave TBS6 collectors a repack. Didn’t they have better profit margins with TBS6? Oh well. You MUST check out this work of art! (more….)

Welcome to another entry in our The Vintage Collection: The Ninety Six column. Hasbro recently committed to collectors that they will be “focusing” on characters in The Vintage Collection that fall under “The Ninety Six” banner. If you’re new to this, it means that for every classic Kenner figure, there needs a modern counterpart. Between 2020 and 2021, Hasbro’s made an admirable effort by focusing on these characters. But there is more work to be done, and we’ll figure out where we are step by step.
We’re right in alignment with Hasbro in our vintage Kenner database. There are 21 figures under the STAR WARS banner, 29 figures under THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK banner, 31 figures under the RETURN OF THE JEDI banner, and 15 figures under THE POWER OF THE FORCE banner. (Sy Snootles, Max Rebo, Droopy McCool, and Blue Snaggletooth brings the number to an even 100 figures.)
Read our assessment, and then be sure to add your thoughts into the comments. Let us know if you agree or disagree. If you’re a customizer, show us your custom definitive figure in the comments as well! Who knows? It might give Hasbro some ideas.

The Darth Vader Star Wars Toybox figure is a retool of the first version. This time it has a new head sculpt. Why didn’t they just re-release it under the same number? (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….)

The Star Wars Toybox Darth Maul figure is pretty bad. It doesn’t look like the on-screen character much at all. (more….)

The GameStop exclusive The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Darth Nihilus is clever reuse of the original 6″ Darth Maul figure. See what they did to make it Darth Nihilus. (more….)
