24

Coming in at # 24 is Hoth Luke! He can fit perfectly on the Tauntaun and his blaster and unlit lightsaber hilt perfectly fit into his holster and belt respectively. Even better is Hoth Luke will soon get a repack, albeit with a photo real head sculpt. Also, one of the first Star Wars figure I ever had was the 1980 version. https://www.jedibusiness.com/figureDetails.aspx?id=1127

First Look HasLab Cantina

Image
 PSYCHE! And now my review of the new VC Merrin action figure...just kidding! If the Cantina hadn't arrived at a proper time, I would have published my Merrin review. But I have the photos for her finished. This will NOT be an in depth look at the entire Cantina, just some quick looks, and my early impressions.  It arrived on Saturday, and it is aptly named on the outer box: It is DEFINITELY a dream item for me, and no doubt many others. Like The Ghost, it comes with this outer box, and an inner shipping box to protect the main box, which arrived in perfect condition. This will not be a review of the constructed Cantina, as I don't have my display space ready, and that has been due to the summer heat and my blackout curtains cost more than I had anticipated, as I have to get them custom made. Sigh. But, I'll do my review slowly, and I anticipate doing a full review later this year once I have some space cleared out. A temporary option may be my current display table, but I ...

POTF2 30 Years Later

Image
 In August of 1995, Star Wars made a triumphant return to toy aisles everywhere, as the Power Of The Force 2 line, or simply put, POTF2 hit stores. Not since 1986 had there been plenty of Star Wars figures to choose from, as that year the POTF figures, and any leftover ROTJ hit clearance aisles, along with Droids and Ewoks figures. I refuse to talk about, or even acknowledge the Bend Ems line of figures. Sure, they scratched an itch, but weren't true toys. In the past, toylines were made if there was a cartoon, movie or live action show. With Star Wars, there was only a VHS release of the Original Trilogy, with remastered sound. So Kenner, who back then had just come into the Hasbro family, was taking a big gamble: putting out toys without a weekly TV program, or movie in theaters. Would it succeed? Would it bring the brand down? Well, it didn't flop, and they sold quite well.  I've mentioned it before, but the Timothy Zahn novel Heir To The Empire brought Star Wars back in...

Epic World Of Action Darktrooper Review and Sneak Peeks

Image
   I'm going to take some heat for this, but I really don't care. The Epic World of Action Darktrooper is a good figure. Now, compared to the Vintage Collection Darktrooper, just on articulation alone, the VC version wins. But the simple 9 POA EWOA Darktrooper is better in some details. And for the price (under $10) it's cheaper to troop build these guys. So, how do they compare to the Vintage Collection version, and where does the EWOA have the advantage over the VC version? I'm going to tell you, and let you see for yourself.  The EWOA Darktrooper has only 9 POA. The VC version has the standard 17 POA. The head, arms, legs elbows and knees have articulation. As an added feature, the EWOA Darktrooper has barbell hips, something the VC Darktrooper doesn't have. Now since his wrists have no articulation, he can't do a THWG. To be fair, it's difficult to get the VC version to do that, but it is possible. He has a great range of motion for having swivel joints ...
