Still hard to find, the Snowtrooper has barely showed up in any stores - but you can get it online. It has two blasters and just enough mud on his boots that I assume you're going to dig it. I'd love it if you could army build it, but that seems unlikely right now. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Opinions! They stink, and I have one. Rogue One. Is it rogue done? And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Ad: It's new! Funko's Classic Captain Phasma Hikari Sofubi Vinyl Figure is the very first Phasma Hikari figure. It's due in June and limited to only 500 pieces.
While the line was small, Rogue One brought us a lot of really cool figures last year like this Scarif Stormtrooper Squad Leader. The 6-inch figure has a lot of color, plenty of articulation, and just enough paint on the gun to be interesting. Read on!
This bigger Baze Malbus figure is in circulation now - if you're lucky enough to find one. (Just get it online.) It has a huge gun and great articulation, plus rather large hair. There's also an easily lost accessory in the mix! You know you want one - read on.
While not Star Wars, it's worth noting that Disney announced the date for the next Indiana Jones movie. Steven Spielberg will direct, Harrison Ford will star, and George Lucas was not mentioned. 2019 is the 30th anniversary of The Last Crusade and the 11th for The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. At this time no licensors have been announced, as classic and even new product has been in short supply since the brief offering during the last adventure.
This week in Q&A - The 40th Anniversary Figures! Let's throw down some science about The Original 12 or 20 too. Also some Post-Toy Fair queries. We've got those.
And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
If you didn't get the 6-inch version of Chirrut Imwe, you totally should. The cloth robes, the great articulation, and the surprisingly well-engineered lightbow all make for a great figure. Read on!
If you aren't yet sick of seeing the Imperial Death Trooper figures, Target has one too - theirs is in a gift set with a figure you want and another figure you already have. This 6-inch trooper has distinctive gear over its armor, which means it's the version you want. Read on!
This week in Q&A - vehicles... well, we know where this is going. Also subscription services (and why I'm more or less OK with these falling out of favor). Also also Toy Fair and how Hasbro neglected to present or mention the upcoming 3 3/4-inch main line product, as you brought it up.

So Playskool. It's one of the niftiest ongoing formats that most collectors ignore. Complete sets of the original Galactic Heroes are far and few between, but the new articulated format (which started under the Jedi Force banner) may be gettable. One of the biggest new items was a BB-8 Action Base, which unfolds to reveal numerous compartments and gadgets - including more inside the big droid head. I was told it included 2 figures, but 3 were on display.
This week in Q&A - Can Hasbro make a killing with a dead cast? (Oh, also I assume if there's a new Star Wars movie the moratorium for spoilers on a collecting site is about a week. And where are those minor characters? I'd also ask why fans aren't being more vocal for them, but I assume the lack of chatter says it all. Also droids. Well, not much on droids. And send in your questions for next week. Read on!
Metal! You've seen these before, but the 3 3/4-inch diorama 40th Anniversary Titanium Series figures are pretty neat. Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan Kenobi were all shown in person to the public for the first time.
Also shown, more packs of helmets. When are they coming? I have no idea, but we have pictures.
