For some reason, it's Clone Commander Ponds! A redecorated version of the once-nameless Clone Trooper Officer figure has retconned Mr. Ponds to the Battle of Geonosis. The yellow is a little different, and he has different accessories than previous yellow clones based on the 2003 Clone Wars movie-style mold... but should you buy it? Read on!
Super-site BFads.net posted the Toys R Us ad for Black Friday, and page #23 has a great deal - the 2012 MTT is returning for $89.99 (not a great deal) and the 2013 The Vintage Collection Republic Gunship is $89.99 (slight improvement).

Was he in the movie? Well, he was in a few novels, so Hasbro managed to sneak out Roan Shryne as an action figure in the just-released Toys R Us exclusive Gunship packs. You'll probably want to snag it if you're a book fan, and if not, well, it's still movie-ish enough for my liking. Read on!
So which Biggs is best? Sure, let's look. And did you drag your feet on the Amazon Slave I vehicle? If so... why??? Finally, let's talk about Rebels because I don't have anything to share and we have space to fill. Read on!
Lady Jedi toys are uncommon, so Sarissa Jeng is pretty exciting to see. Her legs are recycled, but the rest of her seems new despite being similar to Ki-Adi-Mundi. The actress in stills looks quite cute - how is the figure? Read on!
I assume people must really love Sephjet Josall, because I saw someone swap out the figure for a Qui-Gon at a Toys R Us this afternoon. (May an elephant sit upon your house.) Based on a background extra in Attack of the Clones, this is a Luke figure with a new "skirt" and a new head - and it works! Nicely done. Read on!
Now here's one you'll like. Pablo-Jill was released a few years ago with an excellent statue of a figure - gorgeous - but this new one is way more articulated, with the best wrists I've seen on any Jedi figure to date. Actual ball-and-socket wrists make this completely articulated figure streets ahead of the competition, easily making it the best prequel Jedi of the season. Read on!
Presenting some official Hasbro photos of the next wave of Black Series 6 inch figures for 2014 featuring Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker Bespin, and an army building Stormtrooper. Check out the loose and in package images after the jump!
Ad: Sith Happens! Entertainment Earth has pre-orders up for Star Wars Black Series 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Wave 3, and just received the brand-new repaint wave Star Wars Class II Attack Vehicles Wave 3 featuring smaller starfighters and a mini Boba Fett's Slave I. Click through for pricing and availability, plus the elusive breakdowns. (And yes, it does give you a look at Darth Plagueis.)
So there's a new Stormtrooper in the 3 3/4-inch The Black Series line which you can buy online now as most stores haven't gotten any yet. It's basically the Dewback/Vintage 2010 Sandtrooper, minus the pauldron and backpack, with a different belt, and cooler guns. Read on!
Hasbro did a new take on the 41st Elite Corps Clone Trooper, and it's not really an improvement. Several paint applications are missing, and it's best if you take this as a new squad rather than an update of the existing one. Read on!
They're here! Well, they're on the way - click here to order your Amazon exclusive Star Wars Legacy Collection action figure 6-pack. it's filled with troopers, Sun Fac, and two droids - including the totally new FA-4 Pilot Droid.
This week, let's look at reconning - that is, the changing of "history" and "facts" within the Star Wars universe. Remember Hasbro's clone-faced AT-AT Drivers? Let's also look at good Darth Vader figures for kids. There are many. And how about Black Friday Exclusives - should we expect any? All this and more, just read on!
I just got 6-inch wave 2 in the mail, but I already wrote Luminara Unduli up from The Black Series! So read that. She's a new sculpt with a removable hat, good deco, and an excellent sculpt, if you can get beyond the fact that your 2005 figure was probably fine. Anyway. Read on!
