On sale at Celebration V-- with practically no line at all-- is a two-pack with Fixer and Camie Marstrap. This is a great set-- the comic is nice, but the fact that you're getting action figures of a legendary scene you've likely never seen is pretty amazing. She's well-done too, so read on!

Hasbro pulled out the brand-spanking newly revised Boba Fett (with corrected paint-ops) along with the finalized Gamorrean Guard featuring his furry loin-cover thing, Wooof! with his softgoods (which look nice and wooly in person), the carded Endor Rebel Commando, and sculptor supremo David Vennemeyer busted out some waxes. (Do you spot anything new?)

Here's a quick update from the Hasbro booth. Beleaguered Rebel fly-boy Wedge Antilles will be coming out on a Return of the Jedi cardback (#26) in a future wave. He will keep the number that he would have in the current collection despite shipping later on. As was revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, the Wedge Antilles figure is being delayed to improve the sculpt.
Wedge Antilles has been released time-and time again improving little by little (from the Power of the Force 2 "buff era", as a kitbashed exclusive for New Force Comics during the Original Trilogy Collection, and at least 9,000 other attempts. This time out for the vaunted Vintage Collection, the crew at Hasbro hopes (fingers crossed) to definitively nail the sculpt. (We wish them lots of luck.)
Hey everybody! I'm in the bowels of the convention center snapping photos and doing research, and I have good news-- sort of. There isn't much new on display, other than the first "official" look at the Slave I set coming to Toys "R" Us. Hasbro's booth is giving away a Galactic Heroes Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot and a foil edition Obi-Wan Kenobi cardback. I'll have more for you later, but so far, there's not much new here!

What a difference a year makes! In 2009, this was one of the hottest topics and most-debated issues, because Captain Typho was really hard to get. Now? Well, you're probably more concerned with Celebration V than how amazing this figure is, complete with crazy gear and amazing detail. Show some respect-- read on!
