Black Series On Clearance at Target
Well it looks like Hasbro’s and Target’s decision to carry over the Vintage Collection DPCI over to the 3-3/4″ Black Series finally has some benefit. Reports are coming in that various stores are clearancing out their remaining TVC figures for $4.98-$6.98 and that means new Black Series figures are getting the discount too.

Toyguide Update: SL12 Clone Commander Cody
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the 3-3/4″ Saga Legends line. Today we take a look at Clone Commander Cody (SL12).
PROS: Despite this being a kid-targeted figure, with its limited POA and accessories, Hasbro managed to release a perfectly adequate iteration of Cody – complete with all-new parts (save for the legs) and a relatively tight deco application. I find it surprising, and welcome, that they decided to tool up a new torso and include a removable jetpack. He looks great displayed with the 2013 Saga Legends Obi-Wan Kenobi counterpart.
CONS: Again, this figure isn’t for everyone due to its limited five points of articulation and the fact that the orange used for the unit designation doesn’t match the orange colored 212th Battalion Clone Trooper from the Mission Series: Utapau set. There is a slight bit of deflection in regards to the shoulder antenna but it’s nothing a brief soak in hot water won’t remedy.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: SL11 Stormtrooper
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry in the 3-3/4″ Saga Legends line. Today we take a look at the Stormtrooper (SL11).
PROS: I know everyone likes/loves super articulated figures, some even demand it or they won’t even consider a purchase. I say those folks are really missing out on what may be the best stormtrooper representation in a long time and it is certainly a figure that carries on the spirit of the original Vintage figure. This version looks just as good on display in a modern figure diorama or manning the controls of the cannon from the original Death Star Space Station playset. For 6 bucks and some change, I recommend buying every one you see in the wild.
CONS: Again, this figure isn’t for everyone due to its limited five points of articulation and it is packed only one per case.
