Tonight’s Visual Guide update features Captain Cardinal, one of the latest exclusives from Target and Galaxy’s Edge. Click below to have a look at our full Visual Guide, and make sure to also check out our full review.

The Captain Cardinal 6″ figure is a new character for the line. But it’s all old parts, so it disappoints a little. Are you looking for a figure that resembles a Sith Trooper? Because that’s what this figure is. (more….)

We reported that Hasbro Pulse is doing some internal housekeeping when it comes to the customer’s experience on their site. One of the complaints was the lack of notice when items would charge and ship. Well, JTA reader Mark received a notification email explaining that Zeb Orrelios would be shipping in the near future. So change is in the air! Now we just need to see those order history screens improve!

We are finishing up our Visual Guide updates from The Black Series wave 25 with Plo Koon (109). Click below to check out our full Visual Guide page. We also have our full review of this figure available in our review database.

The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ collectors are getting a taste of what happens to a long-running Star Wars line. And they better get used to more! Hasbro has to meet budgets, and in order to meet budgets, reusing existing tooling is a requirement. The “Attack Of The Clones” wave is essentially the first “repack, refreshed, and repaint” wave for the 6″ line. but 3.75″ collectors are used to them. Plo Koon isn’t perfect, but it’s an admirable effort. Will you add one to your collection? (more….)

It’s time for another The Black Series Visual Guide update. Click below to check out Kit Fisto (112). Don’t forget to also stop by and read our full review!

Holy cow. The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ Kit Fisto figure is a complete mess. The head sculpt looks like an amalgamation of the Episode II and Episode III versions of the character, but the deco and details more closely resemble the Revenge Of The Sith likeness. Either way, the figure doesn’t have a robe, comes with the wrong lightsaber hilt, and possesses a litany of other issues. 6″ collectors should demand a recount on this figure. (more….)

Well, the Luke Skywalker & Yoda (Jedi Training) two-pack set from The Black Series [Phase III] 6″ line is superb. It comes with two all-new figures with a generous amount of accessories. But it isn’t perfect. Do you know how it could be perfect? (more….)
