We’re getting MANY reports of The Mandalorian wave of the Retro Collection found at various Walmart stores throughout the country. We also found them in the Kentucky area. We also have reports from Philadelphia and Massachusetts and Texas. Special thanks to Chad R. for this image from an unknown location.

In case you haven’t noticed, the most recent wave of The Vintage Collection is strewn with horrid card art. What’s the deal, Hasbro? You need to fire your graphics team. These are mostly terrible. And if it wasn’t for JTA leading the campaign to fix the Return Of The Jedi Boba Fett card art, it would have been a total debacle! Princess Leia (Bespin Escape) is an embarrassment, Zutton is horrible. What the heck happened to Greef Karga’s packaging image? And with all the attention Baby Yoda is getting, you couldn’t find a less blurry image of Grogu? What’s with all of the hand-drawn-looking reference stills? They look worse than the vintage Kenner drawings! Please use high-resolution character film-outs, or hire someone else to do your packaging graphics. This collection deserves your best. Thank you!

That’s a wrap! We concluded our Research Droids Reviews on The Vintage Collection Wave 29, including the long-awaited Return Of The Jedi Boba Fett. If you missed any, be sure to catch up. The carded images are finally updated.

There probably has been no other action figure in Hasbro’s long history that has made us more furious than The Child. $12.99 for a couple of accessories? What an embarrassment for Hasbro. This is a $5 MAXIMUM product. The Child was an accessory with Din Djarin, and now it’s a basic figure for full price? The pram doesn’t make up the difference either! And it’s TWO PER CASE?! Is Hasbro insane? Find out why The Child (VC184) doesn’t have our blessing. Hasbro needs to realize TVC collectors are NOT TBS6 collectors. We don’t accept any MSRP Hasbro sets! (more….)

How much do The Black Series [Phase IV] 6″ figures have to be before collectors revolt? It feels like we’re getting close. The Din Djarin (The Mandalorian) & The Child TARGET exclusive is very nice, but it’s not $35 nice! All the newness here is worth considering! (more….)

The 2nd stretch goal for the Razor Crest was just revealed. And it’s none other than Baby Yoda aka The Child! He comes with his 2nd crib he had towards the end of season 1! In his left hand Baby Yoda is holding his favorite toy in the world, the metal knob from the control lever. Which was absent from the cockpit renders. How do you like that stretch goal? Also, do you think Baby Yoda might also see a single release (with his first crib) later in 2021? You can back the Razor Crest here to get Baby Yoda in TVC!

The Mission Fleet Speeder Bike/The Mandalorian set comes with The Child and it’s adorable. It might be the right size for The Vintage Collection too! (more….)

It’s easy to forget what magnitude of things are wrong with The Vintage Collection when uber-cool items like the BMF are shipping, but don’t lose focus. I typically cannot be bothered with anything on social media, but this post caught my eye. JTA was tagged by blueharvestcollector with a post that asks, “Where’s the TVC scale version?” (of Baby Yoda). The question seems simple, but it’s profound because it speaks volumes. If the absence of a 3.75″ The Child action figure in the line doesn’t scream at you how disengaged Hasbro is to The Vintage Collection; nothing will. For goodness sake, Chia Pet collectors have Baby Yoda before TVC collectors. Doesn’t that embarrass anyone at Hasbro? And before someone says, “maybe the character is to small,” I would draw your attention to 2009’s TLC Captain Typho (BD 47) figure’s communicator accessory. I believe it’s still the tiniest 3.75″ accessory to date. For that matter, the 6″ The Child’s accessories are tiny as well.
