The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of a few of the latest variants from the Vintage Collection. Next up: VC44 Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Landing).
This running change corrects the pale blue lightsaber which shipped in this figure’s original run and replaced it with a darker, more vibrant blue mold.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this variation is worth adding to your collection.

First revealed at Toy Fair, Sandtroopers.com comes through again with a first look at the packaging* for the R/C Republic Fighter Tank for the Clone Wars line. Head on over for a closer look.
Sideshow Collectibles has posted on their facebook page that we can soon expect an official announcement for the Figrin D’an 1:6 scale figure that was originally teased by them in their 2011 Calendar.
PROS: Fantastic esthetically and the likeness is near perfect for the animated character. The fabric for the skirt is some of the best I’ve see in the modern era of collecting.
CONS: This will be a sticking point for some – articulation. There are no knee or ankle joints and the elbow only feature simple swivel joints.
