Let’s continue checking out the first wave of The Vintage Collection for 2025! We now have a definitive version of Anakin Skywalker from The Clone Wars, but officially based on the character’s appearance from Ahsoka. See it in our Research Droids Reviews today. (more….)
The Black Series [Phase IV] Grand Admiral Thrawn looks pretty good if you can stomach Disney Star Wars content. Check it out in our Research Droids Reviews today. (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….)
Hasbro seems to believe that General Hera Syndulla is worthy of the VC300 designation. Whatever. At least this egregious misstep doesn’t take away from the beauty of this action figure (more….)
Let’s take a look at the Retro Collection Ahsoka Tano figure. Hasbro already released this figure in the line. But this time, it comes with a soft-goods cloak. (more….)
Over the last couple weeks I have been working on a few customs. I got a few new figures in the mail (currently for free). What did you add to your collections over the last couple weeks? Click here to take a look and add a comment!
The Clone Wars Ahsoka figure was excellent in 2012, and it’s even better a decade later, thanks to a new paint job and Photo Real technology. We won’t say much here, so see why you’ll need to add this upgrade to your collection ASAP. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 84-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2022 new release in the Collector Notes. This figure is shipping now. See this excellent figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.
Sigh. I shouldn’t have walked away from Hasbro Pulse’s Fan Fest online event saying “Why does Hasbro hate The Vintage Collection collecting community so much? Why are they completely disengaged from its needs?” But I did. And between the sorry repacks confirmed, to the desperately needed repacks they’re dangling over our heads, I understand why people are fleeing from this scale left and right. The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was the announcement of the re-released Han Solo (Endor) figure. Does Hasbro store any record-keeping of their releases? Do they go to discount outlets? Do they have any indication of what fans want? (more….)
