Saga 2003 #30 The Emperor (Throne Room) Review

We haven't had a Return of the Jedi Emperor figure since the Flashback Emperor Palpatine released in 1998. This figure is kind of like an update to that figure, with better articulation and more detail. However, there are some things that ruin what could have been perhaps the best Emperor figure ever made, so let's get on with the review!

Boba Fett (2003 Convention Figure) Review

This Boba Fett was first available at a Star Wars convention in Mexico, and then appeared at other conventions in the United States. Those who couldn't attend these conventions had the chance to purchase them from the Official Star Wars Fan Club provided you are a member. Paizo (the company in charge of the Fan Club) had done a wonderful job of distributing this figure, limiting it to only two per person. They were $10.00 each. Read on for the review and 7 photos!

Saga Screen Scene: Jedi High Council Set 2 (Featuring Yarael Poof, Depa Billaba & Yaddle) Review

The second set of the Jedi High Council screen scenes features Yarael Poof, Depa Billaba and the much-anticipated Yaddle figure. I had quite a difficult time finding this set, perhaps because of these characters or perhaps because people just like the High Council sets more than the Geonosian War Chamber sets. In any case, every Target I went to had around 4 of the Geonosian War Chamber sets and the last Target I went to had the one and only High Council set which I of course bought. What does it all mean? I don't quite know, so let's just get on with the review!

Saga 2003 #17 Luke Skywalker (Throne Room Duel) Review

The climactic battle between Vader and Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi was a fitting end for the trilogy, and Hasbro tries to recreate a snapshot of Luke's rage during that battle. Read on for the review and 12 photos!

Saga A-Wing Fighter (Target Exclusive) Review

The box says this ship is from Return of the Jedi, but in reality an A-wing with this paint scheme never appeared in the movie. Thus, some people consider it EU (Expanded Universe). This A-wing is a Target exclusive and while I'm not sure when or if it will show up in the actual stores, you can order it online at Target.com for the nice price of $19.99 (this item is no longer available). There is a note at Target.com stating "Web Only", but whether they're talking about the item itself or the price remains to be seen. Read on for the review and 25 photos!

Saga 2002 #55 Imperial Officer Review

Today we have a review of an older figure from the end of the '02 Saga line. I'm only reviewing him now because I've only just found him! My local Target is starting to put out some of the late '02 and early '03 figures which is a good thing because I personally haven't seen too many of them. Anyhoo, on with the review!
