A current Target exclusive, this Remnant Stormtrooper (The Black Series 6-Inch) features some exceptionally nice paint on that new Stormtrooper mold. Given that just 13 years ago we were seeing troopers with what looked like grass stains and we said "hey that ain't bad," this is some real progress. Read on!

Somehow this got missed on the front page, but Clone Trooper (Phase I, The Black Series 6-Inch) is a figure! You can buy it! It's a lot like the Phase II mold used for Ahsoka's squad and the Kamino troopers, but with a different helmet and articulation similar to 3 3/4-inch figures.  It's good - do you need to rebuild your armies now?  Read on!

This week in Q&A - Complaints! Take a number. The new era of new and old franchise entries! How will it work? And wild colorways - you know I love 'em!

I'm very fond of the Death Trooper (Credit Collection, The Black Series 6-Inch) - the black armored trooper from Rogue One is back, splattered with orange and purple as you saw in the end credit sequence.  For fans of designer toys, this Amazon-exclusive is pretty gorgeous - but you might be perfectly happy with the figure you bought a few years ago all in black.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - the changing face of the saga! What we got 25 years ago has changed a lot from the line of today. New Boba Fetts - nothing yet! Also More Mandalorian toys - sure, we want them, but is there a proper line in the wings?

We just got a small one, but we also got a 6-inch The Armorer (The Black Series 6-Inch) last year!  This is the mass release with the plastic cape - and she's great.  Shiny! Accessorized!  Ready to smash skulls and forge armor, the Armorer is... oh, why even write her up.  You're not going to find her in stores.  Read on!

As repaints go, Incinerator Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch) is kind of perfect.  New paint, new pauldron, flamethrower, and a backpack - plus The Mandalorian fans can shake hands with The Force Unleashed fans for a trooper that can appeal to fans of both.   But good luck finding one, as always.  Read on!

The theme-park exclusive color change droid sets and playset are now on ShopDisney.com.    These are pretty good sets for the asking price - although $50 for the playset is a bit high.  We've reviewed these droids in Figure of the Day in 2020, and if you don't have the molds - and like things that change color - these are worth picking up.

This week in Q&A - Troop Builders! Are we beyond the era of quantity discounts? Unanswerable questions! They're a thing! Getting your money's worth! Are we overpaying for our small plastic men?

Hey it's the Mandalorian Loyalist (The Black Series 6-Inch)! Which is supposedly in a store somewhere, but I haven't seen it - I got mine online.  It's a Jango Fett retool, and one you might want in quantity.  Read on!

Today let's look at this Mandalorian Super Commando (The Black Series 6-Inch). He's a Jango retool and absolutely worth tracking down. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Goodbye 2020! It's the first year since 2014 without a theatrical Star Wars movie! Also it's time for The Mandalorian Spoiler Territory and if you've somehow made it this far, I'm impressed. Let's talk vehicles. Let's talk farming out other scales. I wouldn't bet on it. And packaging variants - I wouldn't expect a lot of running changes in the coming year.

From way back in 2017, it's the R3-H17 (Droid Factory Line Look)!  And yes that is mistletoe - but given the other droids don't have lips, I assume they won't be doing much kissing.   This little fellow is from 2017, so don't expect to see them on shelves in the theme parks you should be staying away from right now.  Read on!

A weird roll-out with a late pre-order for the single and a PulseCon boxed set, Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty good. New head! New hat! New poncho!  Same old weird joints.  It's not the only weirdly almost-accurate Luke Skywalker you'll see this month, and it's a good remake of the classic character - but sadly, he has no blaster.  Read on!
