Hasbro is Kuiil-ing the line with too many Kuiil action figures! That said, The Black Series “Credit Collection” Kuiil Amazon exclusive figure is another excellent release in this sub-line. (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 there needs a modern counterpart for every classic Kenner figure. 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. Today we assess Ugnaught.

The Retro Collection’s third line was is based on The Mandalorian. It also gives us our first 3.75-inch Kuiil. How backward is that?. Check it out! (more….)

The latest wave of The Black Series [Phase IV] figures are hitting, and we are taking a close look at Kuiil. It’s one of Hasbro’s finest figures of the year. It’s also the 6″ line’s first Ugnaught figure. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 12!

Check out our sneak peek on the brand new The Black Series [Phase IV] Kuiil 6″ figure. It’s the 6″ line’s first Ugnaught action figure, and Hasbro did a remarkable job on it. Check it out. The review is coming soon!

In 1984, new packaging for Star Wars figures was introduced for the European market. A cost containment initiative, the new packaging sported three languages of the Return Of The Jedi logo for a “one size fits all” approach. Although a “three-logo” design was created for The Power Of The Force line (as evidenced on some ‘boxed’ toys), it wasn’t carried over to the basic figure line’s card design. They continued to use the three Return Of The Jedi logos instead. Although the word “Trilogo” is found nowhere on the packaging, the term is universally adopted by all Star Wars collectors to describe this line of figures.

Today we revisit Ugnaught. The Ugnaught’s Trilogo card art features an image with a lighter color scheme. The review’s Collector Notes are updated with this information. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1981’s THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Ugnaught figure HERE.

Hasbro, you have treated 6″ collectors very well with the four-decade celebration of 1977’s Star Wars: A New Hope. The collection of vintage Kenner-inspired card backs was an interesting take for The Black Series line, but it worked out well because collectors bought them up. Sadly, you provided 3.75″ super-articulated collectors with a paltry line of 3.75″ Titanium figures that were both terrible and a slap in the face. So, can we ask you to do something special for us for 2020, please? (more….)

If you still need the Walmart Exclusive 40th Anniversary  Funko Pop Bespin 3-pack and Ewok 3-pack in stock they’re on sale for $16.99. Two great sets, especially if you’re looking for all the 40th Anniversary sets at a good price.

If you’re looking for the Walmart Exclusive Funko Pop Bespin 3-pack, it is now available for order online. They also still have the Walmart Exclusive Ewok 3-pack in stock,  the three pack including Tarful, Emperor, Clone trooper, and another hard to find Walmart Exclusive Pop The Inquisitor is in stock (Along with The fifth brother and Seventh Sister Exclusives)! Phew… Have at it!

I had nearly forgotten about these Walmart Exclusive 40th Anniversary Funko Pop sets that we reported on previously in June, but JTA reader Justin sends us his find at his local walmart. After doing some digging, I found that these have just hit a few stores near me in NJ as well. Might be time to hit your Walmart if you’re a Pop fan! (or Ewok fan!). They are out of stock online, but here is the Ewok Set and Bespin Set in case you want to keep track!

Walmart may be scalping their own stock of TBS6 [40] Wave 2 for $46 each, but hopefully that won’t happen to these! Funko releases two new Pop! 3-pack Walmart Exclusives. The Ewok (Teebo, Chirpa, Logray) 3-pack and the Cloud City (Lobot, Ugnaught, Bespin Guard) 3-pack. You can find more info in Funko’s Blog.
