I can't believe it's almost turkey-time! Work has been keeping me busy, but thankfully the holidays have given me some time to finish this review which I started, oh, three weeks ago. Repaints are usually ho-hum figures, but some of these last ROTS figures are an exception. R4-P17 uses the awesome R4-G9 sculpt, and you can't complain about that! Read on for the full review and 20 photos!
The Tactical Ops Trooper gets reviewed today! Better known as the 501st to geeks everywhere, the blue-trimmed clone troopers finally see mass release as as one of the final figures of the Revenge of the Sith line. Read on for the full review and 22 photos!

Hasbro gets a little gruesome with the burnt up Anakin Skywalker with battle damage! This figure features a very burnt-looking Anakin complete with removable legs. Swap out the arms and head and pull on the Jedi cloak to make an unburnt Anakin. Read on for the review and 29 photos!

Clone troopers tend to be good figures, but every once in a while, they're just so-so. That's the case with the deluxe clone trooper, who by all means could have been a great figure with some added accessories, but in the end is just a figure that doesn't stand out from anything we've gotten before. Read on for the review and 24 photos!

Anakin Skywalker with slashing attack gets the review treatment today and it's actually a decent figure...if you like action features. Yes, the action feature is solid and works like a well-oiled machine. Squeeze Anakin's legs and he hacks and slashes and hacks and slashes ad nauseum. Read on for the review and 23 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #2 Anakin Skywalker (Lightsaber Attack) Review" »
The Super-articulated clone trooper from the Clone Wars line was one of those figures that propelled the Star Wars action figure line to new standards. Hasbro showed us that they could do super-articulated figures and the end result was everything we all dreamed of. Now, Hasbro revisits the super-articulated clone trooper in the ROTS line, with minor changes and additions. While this figure doesn't quite have the same impact that the Clone Wars clone had, it's still a solid and fun figure. Read on for the review and 24 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #41 Clone Trooper (Super Articulation!) Review" »
This was one of those figures I couldn't wait to get my hands on. Removable helmet? YESSSS! Ball-jointed hips? HELL YESSSS!!! This is the first Star Wars figure in this scale to have good ball-jointed hips and they rock. But just as there must be balance to the Force, there is also some bad that comes with the good when it comes to this figure. Read on for the review and 30 photos!
Ah, the Clone Commander. This figure was immediately on most collector's hit lists, and there's a good reason for that--he's freakin awesome! Great look, great gear, great articulation--there's no arguing that this is one of those figures that will be a favorite for years to come. So what're you waiting for? Read on for the review and 30 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #33 Clone Commander (with Battle Gear!) Review" »
Agen Kolar was one of the Jedi figures I most wanted to get--his plastic, removable robes interested me from the beginning. If you were also interested, you'll be happy to know that this figure turned out great for the most part. The cloak looks fab and the sculptwork is nice and detailed. Read on for the full review and 24 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #20 Agen Kolar (Jedi Master) Review" »
The clone pilots got some good screen time in Revenge of the Sith, and you can extend their story even further than the movie did with the action figures. Good posability and some large accessories ensure good quality playtime can be had. And if you've got an ARC or a Republic Gunship, then you need a couple of these guys. Read on for the review and 19 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #34 Clone Pilot (with Firing Cannon) Review" »
Clone Troopers are always a welcome addition, and this one's better than expected. At first I thought the action feature would totally make this figure lame, but I was wrong. This is one of the rare instances where the action feature doesn't affect the figure very much, and that's something to be proud of on Hasbro's part. Read on for the review and 19 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #6 Clone Trooper (Quick-Draw Attack) Review" »
Here he is, the villain as he was when he first donned his black suit, the one and only Darth Vader! This ROTS version of Vader is definitely aimed towards those with playability in mind as this figure is action-feature-centric. Squeeze his legs and his right arm come slashing downward on some unsuspecting foe. So how does this figure fare? Read on for the review and 23 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #11 Darth Vader (Lightsaber Attack) Review" »
If the Saga Ki-Adi-Mundi repaint didn't satisfy you, then this figure surely will! This is the Ki-Adi-Mundi you've been waiting for, with improved articulation, great sculptwork, and some of the best use of cloth in a Star Wars aciton figure! Read on for the review and 25 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #29 Ki-Adi-Mundi (Jedi Master) Review" »
Combine Jedi powers, a lightsaber, and a hot female, and you've got a character that's bound to be popular. And that's what we get in Aayla Secura, a tough female Jedi that's easy on the eyes. This new ROTS figure improves over the Saga version with better articulation, better paint, and a better sculpt. Read on for the review and 22 photos!Continue reading "ROTS #32 Aayla Secura (Jedi Knight) Review" »
C-3PO figures have been pretty bad as of late. VOTC C-3PO was a disaster, and the Saga Deluxe C-3PO had its share of faults. ROTS C-3PO officially puts C-3PO figures back on the right track with its nice sculpt work and some much needed articulation. Read on for the review and 24 photos!
Part of the medium-sized vehicle wave, Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter is making its way to some stores ahead of schedule. Much like Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, Obi-Wan's has the flip-out wing panels, firing missiles, and great detail. It's a great vehicle that will no doubt be loved by kids and collector's alike. Read on for the review and 30 photos!
Not supposed to be released until April 2nd, some Target stores are putting out the mid-sized vehicles out on the shelves early. I was able to pick up Grievous' Wheel Bike and Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter, and today, the Wheel Bike gets reviewed. A fun vehicle that will be great for kids who like to roll things around on the floor. Read on for the review and 21 photos!
For Attack of the Clones we got Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter as the Sneak Preview vehicle, and this time for Revenge of the Sith we're getting Anakin's Jedi Starfighter. Read on for the review and 25 photos!
It's sort of a tradition that sneak preview figures are released a few months before the next Star Wars movie, so it's a bit sad that this is probably the last sneak preview wave of figures we'll ever get for obvious reasons. This wave of sneak preview toys continues the formula created for the Attack of the Clones wave, consisting of four figures and a vehicle. And similar to the AOTC wave, we're getting another astromech droid, this time in the form of R4-G9. If R4-G9 looks familiar to you then it's probably because of its notoriety as the droid where Star Wars fans got to vote on what kind of paint scheme it would have in the movie. Read on for the review and 15 photos!Continue reading "ROTS Sneak Preview Figure R4-G9 (#4 of 4) Review" »
