It’s probably safe to assume that there is going to be a six-pack of 12-Inch Figures for every new Star Wars film coming out. The TARGET exclusive BB-8/Captain Poe Dameron/Rey (Jedi Training)/First Order Stormtrooper Executioner/Kylo Ren/First Order Stormtrooper Squad Leader set serves a purpose, but there is a lot of repetition here.

Hasbro has produced one of the greatest 3.75″ three-packs the line has ever seen with this release. Love them or hate them, the 5POA figures included in this set represent some of the best/finest likenesses of three core Original Trilogy characters. Most of the figures in this set come with more than 5POA. The figures are NOT perfect, but the approaches made with them show that Hasbro is committed to creating products that are as faithful as possible to their onscreen counterparts. Emperor Palpatine is the best Episode VI version of the character ever. Luke Skywalker could not be more reminiscent of the 1983 figure. And, while as simple as it could be done, the Emperor’s Royal Guard is exactly what we need for  an “at attention” iteration of them. Start praying now that Hasbro takes the digital files, at the very least, of the Emperor Palpatine figure and develop a glorious The Vintage Collection version. We all have waited WAY too long for that figure. Also, be sure to come back and check out the review on Black Friday where I have a couple of cool snippets of trivia that you may or may not know about these figures.

The best part of the Rose (First Order Disguise)/BB-8/BB-9E Two-Packs set is the Force Link. Find out why this is the case in our Research Droids Reviews today!

We have a sneak peek for you tonight of the latest wave of Two-Packs sets. Interestingly, one of them this time is a three-pack. The Rose (First Order Disguise)/BB-8/BB-9E set is about as average as they come. The new sculpt of Rose is nice, but the deco is not great. The BB units are all-new sculpts as well, and they look about average. But their Force Link sound effects are divine. You can tell them apart too. BB-8 is more high-pitched, and BB-9E is mostly lower tones. It’s like they communicate by farting. It’s great. (The Disney Parks versions are infinitely better. We’ve added comparison pictures for you to see for yourselves.) The Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus is a pure joy if you’re a fan of the film. Chirrut finally gets his bowcaster rifle and says one-half of his immortal line from the film. Hasbro goofed by not completing it with Force Link. (We’re quite disappointed by this.) Baze Malbus is more of the same, but it’s cool to have him talk this time. Anyway, click the thumbnails below to check out the Photo Gallery and Collector Notes for each review now. Full reviews start tomorrow!

It’s full of repacks, but we’re still adding the Kohl’s exclusive 4-pack to our Visual Guides tonight! Click below for the full guide page. We also have a full review of this set right here.

If you still need him, Obi-Wan Kenobi is in stock at Amazon.com. Special thanks to JTA reader Jim B. for the alert!

Another Luke, Rey and Rose. Ugh. Sets like this make us SO MAD!

Wow. This is an unexpected surprise! It looks like Emperor Palpatine will be coming carded separately in the Force Link basic figure line as evidenced by this eBay auction. Check out on eBay! This figure will probably be in the same case assortment with the X-wing Pilot Asty lookalike character that was revealed at NYCC. Special thanks to JTA reader Josh C. for the alert!

The Toys R Us exclusive Force Link Starter Set/First Order Stormtrooper Executioner/Elite Praetorian Guard (With Whip-Staff) has two cool figures with it, but why is there an exclusive version of the Force Link wristband? Seems like a double-dipping to us. See lots of comparison pictures and learn more in our Research Droids Reviews today!

JTA reader Eric W. has located the Toys R Us exclusive Force Link set at his local store in Totowa NJ. He aid there were a ton of them there.

The TARGET exclusive Return Of The Jedi three-pack is either a Toys R Us exclusive or general release item in Canada. JTA Canadian reader Steve B. lucked out and found this great set at his local Toys R Us in Vancouver. Get me one! Why doe the American version have to come so much later? Great find, Steve!

If you’re interested, the Baze Malbus/Chirrut Imwe Force Link Two-Packs set is up for pre-order on Amazon with December 15th availability. This is the only way to get the talking versions of these characters! The accessories look repainted as well. And I am sure the figures are new from a certain point of view as well. Special thanks to JTA reader Scott M. for the alert!

Our friends at Fantha Tracks know a retailer who received the latest case assortment of the Star Wars [The Last Jedi] Two-Packs line. Do you see a problem here? Too much repetition of old and very little new makes retailer pegs a dull option for customers. Baze and Chirrut obviously have new Force Link technology, but they’re old figures. There is technically only one major new figure in this entire case pack (if you don’t count the revised BB-9E figure: Rose in disguise. Consider us concerned about wave 3 every making it to store pegs.

We are completely caught up with our Star Wars [The Last Jedi] basic figures with the addition of General Leia Organa. Click below to check out the full Visual Guide. You can also check out the full review right here.
