PROS: Hasbro has added an all-new, never-before-released, goon to patronize our cantina dioramas and toy shelves. His outfit is loaded with details giving a very life-like quality, especially the spiky vest/torso and the gloved hands. He is well accessorized too with working holster and thigh strap (the RFT is very jealous) and side arm, and one of the coolest rifles ever done.
CONS: Absolutely nothing, other than the potential for him being tough to find.

PROS: Hasbro knocks another Ewok sculpt revision out of the park with this new take on Logray. The accessories are great in terms of sculpt and deco. Also, designers went that extra mile and incorporated ball-joint elbow – a first for an Ewok – making this the most highly articulated Ewok yet.
CONS: Fur seems a tad dark when compared to movie still or other reference images, but hardly a reason the pass on this figure, if and when you can find it.

Hasbrotoyshop.com has the latest wave of Vintage figures in stock! Keep in mind these are only available on their site by the case, but with how depressing the retail distribution has been since Christmas, you might not want to pass up this opportunity.
Now only if Hasbro had packed TWO of each new figure in a case… but regardless, thanks to forumites AaylaSecurasMan and Grimace for the heads up!
