Figures are starting to trickle back into stores, with new figures being reported found at Wal-Mart, Target, and Toys R Us. But as reported on last week's podcast, the quickest, most reliable way to get some new figures at close to retail were to order them from Amazon.com. Arnie and Marjorie ordered a handful of new Star Wars Vintage figures from Amazon including Dr. Evizan, the 501st clone, and Arc Trooper Commander to have some openers.

Best know to many as Klaatu, Wooof came out in late 2010 as one of the few figures which took an exceptionally long time to see a modern-era remake.  He may be warming pegs, but is he worth buying? Read on!

The deadly female Mandalorian Bounty Hunter is the second Vintage Collection action figure from The Old Republic video game. Shae Vizla includes swappable heads to display her helmeted and un-helmeted and she even comes with some flame effects like it's 2002. 

Banks for the memories!  Diamond Select Toys sent along a news release today with their new Comic-Con 2012 exclusives, including a nifty bank.  More after the jump.

It's Darth Nihil, one of the Sith of the future that actually (barely) made it out as an action figure.  Should you get it? Well, it's the only Nagai figure so I say yes! Read on!

Based on the Clone (or is it?) protagonist from The Force Unleashed II game, Starkiller comes with a pilot outfit and training armor for some Sith apprentice badass-ness. For better or worse, he's the 100th Vintage Collection figure (I thought it should've been a more iconic character that Kenner never originally produced, like Tarkin.) and if past is any prologue on the popularity of other Star Wars video game themed action figures and the cross-sell appeal for both collectors and gamers alike, he should be pretty hard to find on a store peg.

The latest issue of the Star Wars Insider (#134, July 2012) is hitting news stands now and features some Clone Wars Season 5 exclusives, a Ralph McQuarrie tribute and more! Dan Curto and James Burns also go over their favorite Star Wars action figures!

This is the Nikto Skiff Guard we've all been waiting for.
