We’re catching up on TVC reissues! The Expanded Universe Starkiller (Vader’s Apprentice) reissue is the best version to date. Hasbro updated the figure with Photo Real and a few updated paint operations. This figure always does well each time it’s re-released, but it tops them all. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 100-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2023 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this magnificent figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

We’re catching up on TVC reissues! The Return Of The Jedi Saelt-Marae reissue doesn’t look all that different from its original release. However, there are some changes here. This figure also has the distinction of being the only TVC 2.0 figure that received a re-release. Hasbro got it out to collectors again to celebrate Return Of The Jedi 40. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 68-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2019 version from the 2023 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this impressive figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

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. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 68-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2023 reissue in the Collector Notes.

We’re catching up on TVC reissues! The Return Of The Jedi Kithaba (Skiff Guard) figure reissue looks stellar. The revised paint operations look excellent, and this time Hasbro remedied the mismatched elbow and ankle joints. Hasbro also worked in a half-toning wash on the arms and torso. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 68-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2023 reissue in the Collector Notes.

We’re catching up on TVC reissues! The Attack Of The Clones Mace Windu figure reissue looks fantastic. We’re surprised they delved into characters from Episode II for re-release.

Hasbro is banging out characters from Knights Of The Old Republic; the latest is Bastila Shan. It’s another lovely action figure in the line. (more….)

The last time Darth Malak entered the Star Wars action figure line was in 2007. It took Hasbro 16 years to produce another version; this time, it’s in a 6-inch scale. It’s a lovely release. (more….)

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….)

The 6-inch Clone Commander Jesse is pretty much what you expect it to be and not much more. (more….)

The 6-inch Rebel Commando is laughably expensive but a beautiful figure nonetheless. Check it out along with the “Nik Sant” interchangeable faceplate. (more….)

Hasbro wants to eventually give you a 6-inch Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) figure by first making you pay for an Ithorian you don’t want. You can now welcome Dok-Ondar into The Black Series lineup. It’s a lovely figure, but expensive, and you’ll probably be angry you don’t have the character from A New Hope first. (more….)

The Vintage Collection Clone Commander Colt is a Walmart exclusive to celebrate 20 years of the Clone Wars. It’s an excellent addition to the line. (more….)

The Return Of The Jedi Weequay figure reissue looks fantastic. It took Hasbro long enough to get it out to collectors again, but the revised paint operations are a marked improvement. Most importantly, they fixed the mismatched ankle and knee joints. But they also changed the colors. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 60-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2023 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.

The Vintage Collection Clone Captain Howzer is a FIRST in the line. Do you know what that “first” thing is? (more….)

It’s 50% an older TVC figure, but Han Solo is a remarkable release. (Where is this figure’s subtitle?) But did Hasbro cheap out on this figure, however? Find out so! (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….)
