Image Bank: CW32 Boba Fett

By Mike — Friday, October 15, 2010

He's juvenile! He's delinquent! He's young Boba Fett! Re-introduced in Season 2 of The Clone Wars, the young bounty hunter in training is going through his own rites of passage. The figure is incredibly done, with the good likeness and articulation that we've come to expect from this line.

Oh Denal, we hardly knew ye-- but we do know that ye suit should be coming back on another figure soon!  This Clone Trooper has a unique helmet and a nice rocket pack, but the head is not much to speak of.  Should you check him out?  Read on!

Image Bank: CW31 Shaak Ti

By Mike — Wednesday, October 13, 2010

 This figure is simply stunning, with soft goods that work with the super articulation underneath. We do have concerns about the long term viability of the soft goods skirt as it seems prone to unraveling, but it lays well and complements the figure overall. VC31 Shaak Ti is the latest addition to our Image Bank. Post your thoughts in our comment box!

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 12, 2010

If you have an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 connected to the internet, you can download a playable demo of an early stage of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II right now.  It's about 700 megs, so while big it should provide a nice sampling of what's to come very soon.  Assuming you buy the game, of course.

Which Captain Rex is the new one, and how can you tell? What will another theatrical push do to help Star Wars in 2012? And yeah, why does Hasbro do package variants? All this and fuel injection, fuel injection, fuel injection after the break.
