This week in Q&A - Exclusive C-3PO - anxious? Well, it comes, it goes. Get thee to a Walgreens, go. Reproduction - the songs of The Human League! No wait, this is about vintage toy parts. And finally, exclusive duplicates - just how skippable is that 6-pack at Toys R Us right now?
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
From Hasbro: "Do you have an idea for a game, toy or new technology? Share your bright idea and help us create the world’s best play experiences.

And I know that you will - you've been asking what the best way to contact Hasbro may be, and I do believe this may be it. Click here for more.
It's Sergeant Jyn Erso (Jedha) from wave 2 of the 3 3/4-inch Rogue One line! She has a scarf, a blaster, a rocket launcher, and feels like she'd be right at home in the mid-late 1980s "off camera" world of Star Wars toys. If she couldn't pilot the ATL Interceptor, I don't know who could. But is she worth picking up - even with appearances in an upcoming gift set and vehicle? Read on!
Director Krennic is in charge of the whole Death Star construction thing and has a group of hangers-on called Death Troopers. As such, one might assume he's the new bad guy - the figure turned out fairly well, although maybe the cape isn't exactly what you wanted. It's still a nice figure. Read on!
Target's Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Hasbro exclusive sets are in stores as of today. A 12-inch 6-pack, a 3 3/4-inch 7-pack, and a 6-inch 3-pack are there now. The Black Series set includes a repack of Jyn Erso along with a plussed up Imperial Death Trooper with more gear and the jacketed version of Cassian Andor. The Eadu head looks a smidgen better - but they're out there now if you need them.
In the annals of obscurity, many people at many companies worked very hard to bring you the still-nameless Jabba's Bartender astromech droid, in stock now at Entertainment Earth. It's in Return of the Jedi, and if you can find it you get a prize. Read on!
Ad: Coming soon! E.T. Glow-in-the-Dark Finger and Chest ReAction Action Figure - Entertainment Earth Exclusive and a E.T. ReAction Action Figure 3-Pack are on the way from Funko. If you just want E.T., grab the exclusive carded figure - it's perfect to hang around with your old-school Cantina aliens. (It's OK, they're pals and it's canon.) The 3-pack also brings you Gertie and Elliot - retro-styled just like you wish you had in 1982. Pre-orders are welcome at Entertainment Earth today.
This week in Q&A - Starfighters - there sure are lots of them, aren't there? And paint - what's with the dots? Also other sci-fi action figures - could they have a revival in a retro style? It's like Laura Kightlinger says, "Anything can happen with a razor."

And finishing up the 4-pack, it's R3-M2! This one has a new dome sculpt with a big silver band on the bottom which, unfortunately, helps highlight the inaccuracies of the Hasbro domes for the R3 droids over the past few years. Well. I guess we can look to redoing the rest of them. It's a great figure with wonderful deco, so check it out and read on!
It appears Lucasfilm and Disney are going long on C2-B5 - at least three known action figures are available or are in the works so far. This 3 3/4-inch action figure is available now as part of a Disney parks exclusive Rogue One boxed set - one you can actually buy outside the park in the Downtown Disney compound. Should you get it? Read on!
It took me longer to grasp than it should have, but I'm pretty sure R5-SK1 is a nod to Skippy, the Jedi Droid. If you don't know what that is, you missed Star Wars Tales - and that was a fine comic. This new droid is one of four figures in a new Disney parks exclusive droid pack for Rogue One, where one droid looks like one you probably have, another is coming with a big vehicle later, and the remaining two are seemingly brand new for this set. If you like droids, this is a good week to be you - we're going to examine the entire set. Read on!
