Our friends at Rebelscum have received an image captured from Toy News magazine that confirms rumors and speculation of a Republic Atatck Shuttle for the Clone Wars line. As the Turbo Tank and AT-TE before it, the vehicle will incorporate playset-style features for additional play value. Look for this to be on display at Toy Fair next month (if not leaked on the various fan sites sooner).

We have teamed up with Jedi Temple Archives to provide a guest review for their ongoing Research Droids Reviews series. For our contribution, I take a look at The Saga Collection’s R4-M6 (Mace Windu’s Astromech Droid) to see how it fits into the modern era’s grand scheme of collecting. Head on over to see if you think this astromech worth tracking down if you missed it back in 2007.
A huge thanks to JTA for their generous invitation.
