It's new! (Thanks, Shannon!) The CZ Series Communications Droid (White, Droid Factory) is up for grabs at Disney parks, provided that you can find the pieces. It's similar to Hasbro's CZ-4 a few years ago, which is similar to CZ-3, which is what I'm saying this is for my display purposes. Read on!
Newish! Lando Calrissian (The Black Series) is awesome and you probably want one. He has a cape, a microphone, and a blaster - plus a good likeness and fairly fantastic paint.
New and dirty! The 3PO Protocol Droid (White) has dirty blotches and looks a lot like K-3PO. It looks like the Hasbro build-a-droid mold, in a new color, and sold by the part at Disney parks. Read on!
New at the Droid Factory! The Vendor Droid (Blue) is a new head mold, giving you a chance to build The Clone Wars robots in various colors for your very own. Read on!
Currently an online exclusive (or so it seems), Lieutenant Sefla is pretty fantastic with one of the best projectiles Hasbro has ever made. The rocket looks like it has a flame trail on it, a clever application of safety requirements used to make a toy look cool. Read on!
Ad: Pre-Order new Hasbro Star Wars, Transformers, Marvel, and Games from Entertainment Earth! New The Black Series 6-inch figures join and Transformers: The Last Knight leader-class toys as well as a new Trypticon!
Possibly at a GameStop near you! R5-D4 is the only new figure exclusive in the 40th Anniversary line, and part of Hasbro's proud tradition of droid redeco action figures. It's basically similar to R2-D2, and a previously released R5 unit, but now it's R5-D4. This is reason enough to buy it. Read on!
This newish Luke Skywalker is part of a new line of Titanium Series figures. If this sounds familiar, Hasbro also had these about ten years ago but these are new molds with a new footprint. Luke has two different blasters, but what's really neat is the display base with foot pegs the user can place. Take a look - read on!
If you've got all the Imperial Death Trooper figures, you want this one too. The armor has dirt. The grips are painted. It's just different enough to make you mad! This Kohl's exlclusive is actually cheaper on Amazon, so if you missed it that's OK. You'll save some money. Read on!
So if you're a variant guy, the Stormtrooper Officer (Rogue One, Kohl's) is of interest. This one has a white pauldron and was sold at Kohl's. Another one with a white pauldron and blast-off armor was sold at Toys R Us. You ignored most of these, so be forewarned to get while the getting is good. Read on!
Did you get Admiral Raddus? You should! The figure has an opening mouth and some pretty fantastic sea-adjacent space paint. I like the outfit, I like the weapons, and the gimmick is a hoot. Read on!
Seemignly not painted exactly right, R2-A3 is still a pretty nice 6-inch-scale droid. He has pop-open panels with arms, special gear, and probably the wrong color of dome, unless there are props in the archives I'm unaware of, which is possible but probably undocumented. He was in a 3-pack last year, and it's probably gone from a store near you. Read on!
