FINALLY! It only took 18 years, but Hasbro stepped-up to give us a proper STAR WARS Stormtrooper for The Vintage Collection. The wait started in 2004. Folks, we now have our definitive A New Hope Stormtrooper action figure. See why you won’t want to miss this one! (more….)

Review: Figrin D'an - TVC - VC249

Did you know The Vintage Collection Figrin D’an is like 75% reused parts? You didn’t expect that, did you? We didn’t either. We broke this figure down by “the good,” “the bad,” and “the ugly.” You’ll not want to miss this review today. (more….)

Review: Figrin D'an - TBS6 [P4] - ANH04

Yay! Another Original Trilogy character enters The Black Series 6-inch figure line, and this one is NICE. Check out Figrin D’an with three instruments. It’s the lead member of the Modal Nodes. (more….)

Happy 45th Birthday to Star Wars! Before Disney sucked the spirit out of the franchise much like how the Skeksis drained the essences from the podlings, there was a little film called Star Wars, NOT A New Hope, and it changed most of our lives forever. And we show gratitude to its Maker, George Lucas, for creating the greatest space fantasy franchise of all time.

If I had written this article the day of the announcement, it might have looked pretty ugly, not that this post will be much better. But in all seriousness, what’s the deal with making The Vintage Collection Stormtrooper from A New Hope a Walmart exclusive? (more….)

Review: Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) - TBS6 [P4] - ANH01

Review: Doctor Evazan - TBS6 [P4] - ANH03

The Black Series [Phase IV] Doctor Evazan (ANH03) figure is a bit better than Ponda Baba, but still not where it should be with all things said. And this figure’s head sculpt isn’t accurate either. (more….)
