The 332nd Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper shoots right to the top of our The Vintage Collection category list. Hasbro made us wait WAY TOO LONG for this 501st Legion variation, but at least it’s here now. (more….)

And it’s really a Walgreens exclusive too! Sometimes you get so disgusted waiting so long for delayed action figures that when they finally start appearing you no longer care. That’s the Clone Trooper (212th Battalion) figure in a nutshell, and it’s another lazy effort by Hasbro. (more….)

The Clone Wars Ahsoka figure was excellent in 2012, and it’s even better a decade later, thanks to a new paint job and Photo Real technology. We won’t say much here, so see why you’ll need to add this upgrade to your collection ASAP. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 84-image gallery complete with comparison shots and a breakdown of what separates the 2012 version from the 2022 new release in the Collector Notes. This figure is shipping now. See this excellent figure updated in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

We have a lot to say about The Vintage Collection Special 4 Action Figures [Clone Captain Rex/Clone Captain Ballast/Clone Captain Grey/Elite Squad Trooper] Amazon exclusive. A LOT. It almost comes with a figure that was canceled in 2013, but with a few changes. (more….)

The Black Series Archive line has been “hit or miss” lately, but the 501st Legion Clone Trooper, on paper, feels like a good release. (more….)

Thank you for reading Research Droids Reviews: Season 13!

It’s fantastic that Hasbro is FINALLY re-releasing their RAREST The Vintage Collection action figure. If you’re not aware, the Clone Trooper (501st Legion) (VC60) figure was the RAREST figure from the original TVC lineup. (more….)

Full Story

Today is January 30, 2022, and that means it’s been ten years since Hasbro released the Star Wars [The Phantom Menace 3D] line. Where does the time go? Although revered as a controversial lineup of a motley crew of products, it contained some of the best items we ever received from Hasbro. Yes, and it contained some of the worst products as well. Many blame Lucasfilm for the deluge of wave 1 products in this line that flooded stores everywhere. It’s believed they marketed this event as a new film, and stores bought up the products like there was no tomorrow. It would explain such an overage of products on the street date. Collectors would find “TPM 3D” products nearly everywhere for many years.

In the confusion of perplexing re-releases, overcharged 5POA action figures, and a deluge of products that rotted on shelves for years afterward, it’s easy to forget that the line did bring collectors some amazing newness and goodness. Let’s take a stroll down memory lane and recapture the good, the bad, and the ugly that this line brought to the Star Wars collecting community.
