What a disappointment! Hasbro FINALLY gets Nien Nunb out to the public again, and it’s still too short, and they neglected the dark pink mouth paint operations once AGAIN!

We’re catching up on TVC reissues! Unfortunately, the Return Of The Jedi Nikto (Skiff Guard) figure reissue is a disappointment. Although Hasbro fixed the mismatched knee and ankle joints, they messed up the deco on the head sculpt. It is now too flat and much darker. They should have lightened this action figure’s skin color many shades instead.

It’s my party, and I’ll cry about Disney Star Wars if I want to, but not before praising the gorgeous Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition) Target exclusive action figure. It’s also very colorful and presents a more modern-looking take on the comic character. (more….)
A $20.99 repaint of an Original Trilogy character beats a $14.99 all-new sculpt of a Disney Star Wars character any day of the week. And so we present to you the Boba Fett (Vintage Comic Art) Target exclusive. It’s very colorful, and the precision to detail in the paint job is astounding. But its MRSP is offensive. (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….)

It’s another scam! Hasbro thinks you’re too dumb not to realize they’re ripping you off by charging you a “deluxe” price for a basic action figure. It’s a shame, too, because Paz Vizsla is awesome. (more….)
