POTJ TIE Bomber Review

It's not everyday that Hasbro does an entirely new mold for a vehicle, but when they do, it's usually great. Such is the case with the TIE Bomber. Modern detailing and vehicles we've never gotten before is what makes the future of Star Wars toys a great thing. Read on for the review and 10 photos!

POTJ Luke Skywalker's Snowspeeder Review

The new POTJ snowspeeder features a new paint job, and two sort-of-new figures. The good news is that we're getting the first Dack Ralter figure, and the bad news is that his helmet is not removable even though it would have easy to just reuse Wedge's. Read on for the review and 8 photos!

POTJ Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (Jedi Knight) Review

Need a Ben Kenobi figure that isn't wearing his cloak? Then look no further than this figure. That's pretty much this figure's defining characteristic. Read on for the review and 3 photos!

POTJ BoShek Review

I love figures of cantina patrons, simply because I love the cantina scenes in Episode IV. For anyone of the same ilk, you will no doubt want to get your hands on BoShek, the pilot seen chatting with Obi-Wan at the bar. Read on for the review and 5 photos!

POTJ Teebo Review

We haven't really gotten much in the way of ewok figures, so it's nice that Hasbro is giving us Teebo, one of the more unique-looking ewoks from Return of the Jedi. Great sculpting and great articulation make this a great ewok figure. Read on for the review and 6 photos!

POTJ Zutton (Snaggletooth) Review

I believe Zutton actually appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special, a show that aired on TV in 1978 with the cast of Star Wars in a "variety show" format. The show was so awful that Lucas has said he would, if he could, destroy every remaining copy of it on earth. The figure is rather nice however, and will make an excellent addition to your Mos Eisley cantina. Read on for the review and 5 photos!

POTJ Imperial AT-ST & Speeder Bike (with Paploo the Ewok) Review

The AT-St has always been a favorite vehicle for me. Most likely it's because I had the vintage one as a child and I loved using its stomping feature. Since I never bought the POTF2 version, I knew I had to pick up this set. As an added bonus, it comes with a speeder bike and a unique Paploo figure! Read on for the review and 10 photos!

POTJ Eeth Koth (Jedi Master) Review

Eeth Koth is a sampling of the types of figures we'll be seeing in the Episode II line of figures, not only because he is a Jedi, but also because of his pre-posed nature. This figure is less action and more of a statue. Is that good or bad? Read on for the review and 4 photos!

POTJ Scout Trooper (Imperial Patrol) Review

Scout troopers are always a welcome addition to my collection, and Hasbro makes one worthy of replacing older versions. Unfortunately, this one can't ride a speeder bike, which is in my opinion, an essential trait that a scout trooper figure should have. Read on for the review and 4 photos!

POTJ Imperial Officer Review

More Imperial figures are a good thing, but it would be even better if Hasbro focused on the ones more commonly seen in the movies. This Imperial officer wears a jumpsuit and not the dress uniform we all know and love. Still, this turned out to be a great figure, so read on for the review and 5 photos!

POTJ Plo Koon (Jedi Master) Review

You may have noticed that there aren't too many Episode I characters I've reviewed. That's mostly because I'm not as attached to the movie or its characters like I am to the original trilogy. But anyway, I picked this guy up at my local Wal Mart and found him to be pretty cool. I'm afraid I may have to pick up more of these Episode I Jedi now! Read on for the review and 5 photos!
