Today! The Mimban Stormtrooper (Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) is dirty, but that's how we like it. We've known Stormtroopers were on Mimban for decades, but this is the first time we've seen them. Read on!
We don't usually post non-Hasbro, non-Star Wars figures but this one was special. Onell Design and I kicked around a couple of ideas and now you can have an indie figure tribute to Droids Vlix! It's Vlixden, a $10 3-inch figure going on sale at Onell.store come 9:30 PM EDT tonight. It's cool - it's Vlix! The special design has the little kerchief and eyebrow, plus the color scheme. It's not Vlix, but it's the closest and I believe only thing that has come close this century. I love it. Read on!
This Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master) is from Solo - and it's almost the same as The Last Jedi. There's a different sound chip which is still not Mark Hamil, and there's a green Force Link symbol on the foot. Otherwise, it's arguably not different enough to warrant a mention. Read on!
This week in Q&A - More Solo! We hope. More droids? Maybe no. Toys R Us fallout? Some things are coming, and can't be discussed just yet.
Be sure you send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Forces of Destiny had a lot going for it - much of which may never see the light of day. New episodes keep streaming, but new toys are far and few between. The Porgs with Chewbacca got far enough along that you can snag yours at Comic-Con in a couple of weeks. Cnet has the scoop - Chewie can be bought today, but the whole set is $50 at the show. Read more here.
One of the few new alien figures from Solo is Moloch - and he fits right in with your classic figures. With a staff, a blaster, and a removable mask, this is a gem. As one of the White Worms, there's a tail under the robes. Its a heck of a cool design, and I'm seeing this one out and about a bit more lately. Read on!
This week in Q&A - The Future of 4-Inch! It has one. What is it? Solo stuffs. And more stuff about Solo.

The Kessel Guard is pretty cool - the helmet looks like a kitchen appliance, the arms remind me of Chirrut Imwe, and it's just generally very Star Warsy. Plus it comes with Lando, so you should get one. Read on!
It's Lando Calrissian! He's from a 2-pack in the Solo line that seems to be selling pretty well right now - but you can probably find it if you make a couple of stops on your next toy hunt. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Renewing the license at Hasbro! I think it's very much in their interests. Jurassic compatibility - does Mattel's dinosaur line play nice with Jedi Knights? Toys R Us - well, it's depressing, let's leave it at that.
It's time to send in your questions for next week. Read on!
From Disney, the Power Droid (Wind-Up Fight Droids) is pretty big - it might be too big, but it's neat. It walks and swings its arms with all the precision of the windmill. It's $9.95 for both figures, so it's plenty cheap. Read on!
Despite the fact that nobody seems to be talking about them, the Solo line has been pretty fantastic. The Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Last Jedi / Solo: A Star Wars Story Line Look) has a great sculpt with deco that's good, but not perfect, compared to other releases. (Gloves, rank badge.) It also has the best ever Wampa. Read on!
This week in Q&A - My glasses! Is it easy to make them decent in 3 3/4-inch sizing? Solo! What's next? And Last Wave Syndrome is a thing.
It's time to send in your questions for next week. Read on!
