Sigh. It’s another action figure based on Rey. Rey (Island Journey) isn’t exciting, but perhaps she’s a necessary release. See what you think in our Research Droids Reviews today!

DJ (Canto Bight) makes his action figure debut in the latest Star Wars [The Last Jedi] wave. Click below to have a look at our full Visual Guide. He was also the subject of today’s featured review. Click here to read it!

So, do you think DJ (Canto Bight) will be a thief/smuggler/scoundrel only to join the Resistance in their fight against the First Order? Yeah, we do too.

We have a sneak peek for you of the newest wave of Force Link basic figure before we begin the reviews tomorrow! Check out galleries and collector notes for these figures now. DJ (Canto Bight) is a nice figure, but it doesn’t look much like Benicio Del Toro at all. He comes with an all-new and very cool blaster that looks like something from the Old West. R2-D2 is the star of the wave for us. Hasbro resurrected the Build A Droid sculpt for this figure and we couldn’t be more elated about it. Luke Skywalker (Jedi Exile) looks much better without his hood but comes with two extra points of articulation: swivel wrists. And Rey (Island Journey) is really just a reason for Hasbro to double dip on a version of this character we already have, but this all-new sculpt does come with swivel elbows this time around. Click any of the images below to be taken to our Research Droids Reviews on this wave of figures. General Leia Organa and Jyn Erso (Jedha) will be forthcoming.

THANK YOU, Steve Evans! Would you believe that the new R2-D2 from the Star Wars [The Last Jedi] line is not only Force Link compatible, but that it has been made from the fan favorite Build A Droid sculpt? Hasbro resurrected this tooling (complete with foot wiring) to create a divine version of R2-D2. It’s one of the greatest R2-D2 figures we have received in the line to date! We have been begging Hasbro to bring back this sculpt into the basic figure line, and it appears they’ve listened! Stay tuned for more soon! Click the thumbnail below to check out R2-D2 in an un-assembled state!

They’re IN STOCK! Hurry!

We have another Star Wars [The Last Jedi] Visual Guide update tonight, featuring the Resistance A-wing Fighter vehicle. Click below to check out this vehicle, along with the pack-in figure Resistance Pilot Tallie. Get additional info on this vehicle and figure set in our full review. A big thanks to Hasbro and Litzy PR for providing us with this sample for our Visual Guides.

The Resistance A-wing Fighter (with Resistance Pilot Tallie) is a nice release. The best thing about it is that there is no NERF feature to be found here at all. It also imitates old school Star Wars concept art and we’ve provided the evidence. Special thanks to Hasbro and Litzy PR for providing us with this review sample.

Was the Force Link something that was conceived by Kenner decades ago? We’re thinking this is quite possible. JTA reader Vincent M. directs our attention to a conceptual Kenner item that never made it into production: the Electronic Sound Generator. This entry can be found at the fabulous TheSWCA.com site. Although this cool toy never made it off the ground, it appears that the technology was utilized by Galoob in some form. Click through to read more about it!

Next up for the Star Wars [The Last Jedi] Visual Guide updates is Resistance Gunner Paige. Click below for our fully detailed Visual Guide. You can also read our full review right here.

Hasbro: this isn’t an attack. We’re not even making fun of you, so this isn’t meant to pick you apart. We are actually just trying to understand your logic and game plan for the 3.75″ Force Link line. Yes, we understand that in order for Jyn Erso to be Force Link compatible that you had to put her back into production and add a chip into the figure. But why would you choose *her* when Hasbro Toy Shop’s eBay store can’t get rid of the Rogue One version at $2.69? Do you really think that the Star Wars buying market is waiting to add her into their collections…. again and at $7.99 to boot? If you could explain how a character likes this gets considered for a “repack” into the basic figure line, we would appreciate the answer. This isn’t unprecedented ad other characters have received this kind of preferential treatment too. We’re really just curious. THANK YOU!

If there are any justifications to why the 5POA line should stay, they are probably all found in Resistance Gunner Paige. See why she is a must-have action figure in our Research Droids Reviews today!

TARGET has added a preview page of the Star Wars Force Link Star Wars: Return of the Jedi Battle three-pack. It has a release date of November 1st. It’s cool to know we’re finally getting that Emperor’s Royal Guard that was planned for the Rebels line a few years ago, although, it will be retooled to accompany the Force Link feature. Special thasnks to JTA reader Ginji A. for the alert!
