Hasbro’s The Vintage Collection‘s X-Wing Pilot Builder Pack set is pretty cool. At least this set is 50% male, and no characters are from that awful The Acolyte show. Learn more 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….)
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.
What an impressive re-release! Hasbro FINALLY gets Captain Cassian Andor up to speed with a remarkable PhotoReal update. The figure hasn’t looked better. Check out the new version of the fan-favorite character. It comes with a stunning paint job that brings out the likeness and is a worthy inclusion to the line now. We took the time to summarize all the new details for you by producing an all-new 56-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2018 version from the 2024 reissue in the Collector Notes. See this gorgeous figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.
As expected, Hasbro repacked The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] R2-D2 (Artoo-Detoo) figure in the standard basic lineup. Will you purchase this one as well? (more….)
As expected, Hasbro repacked The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] Wicket figure in the standard basic lineup. It still has its fair share of issues. (more….)
The Force Spirits (Anakin Skywalker/Yoda/Obi-Wan Kenobi) three-figure multipack will get overlooked by many collectors, but it’s one of the nicer 40th Anniversary things Hasbro’s done for Return Of The Jedi this year (more….)
Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 15!
There probably isn’t a bigger rip-off for 2023 in The Vintage Collection than the Fan Channel exclusive AT-ST & Chewbacca. We’re grateful we got our sample during the Best Buy blowout. (more….)
November 17, 2023, celebrates the 45th anniversary of The Star Wars Holiday Special and the public consciousness of Life Day. Hasbro created the Chewbacca (Life Day) figure to commemorate this and hopefully make The Vintage Collection collectors happy. It worked for us. (more….)
Hasbro released the Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) figure with the wrong nameplate and character photo. It’s like Hasbro are amateurs at this. It’s part of The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] lineup. (more….)
Hasbro finally gives us a new 6-inch Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) figure, and it corrects all of the sins of the first-generation release. You’re going to love this one, folks! It also is part of The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] lineup. (more….)
The Black Series [Return Of The Jedi 40] Admiral Ackbar figure is based on the 1983 Kenner figure. (more….)

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! What’s up with this incompetent design team in Rhode Island? Anyway, check out the new version. It comes with less paint and a Return Of The Jedi 40 logo. 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. See this anticipated figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.
The 6-inch Rebel Commando is laughably expensive but a beautiful figure nonetheless. Check it out along with the “Nik Sant” interchangeable faceplate. (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….)
The Black Series [Phase IV] Senator Mon Mothma is a lovely release, but is it perfect? (more….)
You have to wonder what Hasbro’s defect is anymore. We’ll be charged with nitpicking here by the Hasbro sycophants and bootlickers, but we demand quality. And we’ll go public with our disdain regardless of the ramifications. How could they not correct and properly update Nien Nunb before announcing its re-release? Not only did they neglect to correct the figure’s height. (Nien Nunb is tall like the Sullustan B-wing pilots and not short like the action figure. Photographic evidence exists and proves this unequivocally.) But even worse, they didn’t bother to fix the figure’s upper lip with the darker brown color. (more….)
