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.

Hasbro made collectors wait a half decade before releasing Bodhi Rook into The Black Series 6-inch line. But the figure looks excellent. (more….)

It’s interesting how the “carbonized” The Vintage Collection figures are generally terrible, but the Shoretrooper (Carbonized) figure isn’t. It’s actually pretty nice! Check it out. (more….)
Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 13!

After my nausea subsided from being slapped in the face by boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of Rey (Island Journey) action figures from three years ago, I became even more jaded by what else I found at Ollie’s. (more….)

We like The Vintage Collection K-2SO. But we wanted to love it. Do you know why we don’t love it? You’ll have to read our review to find out. The figure has some issues, and Hasbro could have prevented them. (more….)

It’s baffling how The Vintage Collection Imperial Troop Transport is on its way to some collectors’ homes as we speak, and yet nearly everyone is STILL waiting on The Vintage Collection Rogue One Imperial Stormtrooper figures to populate it. Arrival dates get pushed to the next month once we reach the end of the current month. And not too many people know what’s going on with it. Hasbro, we warned you the moment this figure was announced to produce it like you had no other figure to produce. But as usual, you don’t listen. If those pre-orders are limited or canceled, get ready for a backlash you’ve never seen to date. Oh, and before you say “Remnant Stormtroopers” are on the way, then you don’t understand why longtime collectors want the clean white Imperial Stormtroopers first and foremost.

Don’t even waste your time calling for an adjustment. I did and was denied. But let us know if you’re a lucky collector who acquired a $6.49 TVC Imperial Stormtrooper from Walmart.

We’re almost done with the reviews, but you can check everything else out right now including a ton of comparison images, diorama shots and the new figures interacting with other figures and vehicles. I have to admit that The Vintage Collection wave 22 isn’t doing it for me. My favorite figure in the wave is the Imperial Assault Tank Commander, and that should NOT be the case. I am thrilled about finally getting a carded “12-Back” Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) figure, but this character and card back were worthy of a completely all-new sculpt. Oh well. Luke Skywalker (Crait) is a decent release, but he is limited in movement thanks to constricting robes. His articulation system is almost voided out by it. And the Death Star Gunner should have been the crowning joy of the wave, but it has disappointed me hugely. Anyhow, check out the new images of the latest figures. Hopefully, the next wave will be a little bit better.
