Here is another figure we had to wait a long time for, although we still don’t have an accurate replacement. That aside, Clone Commander Rex (Bracca Mission) is another fantastic action figure for The Vintage Collection. Check it out in our Research Droids Reviews today (more….)

We had to wait TWO DECADES for Hasbro to update Princess Leia Organa from A New Hope on a vintage-styled card. And this is the first one that is super-articulated. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty close. Check it out in our Research Droids Reviews today (more….)

We can almost forgive Hasbro for initially making the Stormtrooper (VC231) figure a Walmart exclusive because they’ve done their part to make it more widely available again. Hasbro re-adds the Stormtrooper to the lineup with enhanced paint operations and card art. The figure hasn’t looked better. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 80-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2022 version from the 2024 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this essential figure, which has been updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

It’s another excellent re-release! Hasbro re-adds Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot) to the lineup with enhanced Photo Real and card art. The figure hasn’t looked better. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 60-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2019 version from the 2024 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this essential figure, which has been updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

It’s another impressive re-release! Hasbro FINALLY gets Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) right as an Episode IV version of the classic astromech droid. With a “clean” deco, a shinier silvery dome, corrected legs, and upgraded card art, collectors have much to be thankful for here. The figure hasn’t looked better. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 60-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2019 version from the 2024 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this lovely figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

We’d rather pluck out our eyeballs than review another Grogu action figure, but we’ll give it a go. Check out this monumental ripoff of an action figure, even if it does look like a decent addition to the line. (more….)

Are you tired of Mandalorian action figures yet? We are. However, The Vintage Collection Mandalorian Fleet Commander figure turned out well. (more….)

Hasbro thinks so little of their longtime collector base that they believe you are too dumb to notice that you can get 100% all-new tooling and seven accessories for $16.99 or an 80% reused-parts figure also with seven accessories but for $24.99 and label it a “Deluxe” figure. That said. The Vintage Collection Professor Huyang is a fantastic figure; you likely will want doubles of it. (more….)
