Hungarian Star Wars collecting web-site csillagokhaboruja.com has posted the first image from the UK Toyfair showing off the Republic Attack Ship (with exclusive pilot). Head on over for a look and thanks to YodasNews.com for the heads up!
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Han Solo (Yavin Ceremony) from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: A decent iteration of our favorite scoundrel from A New Hope. Nice to finally have a ceremony version (sort of) to accompany Luke.
CONS: Sculpt for the shirt entirely wrong for the scene intended to be recreated. Still missing the thigh strap for the holster that was present on the superior 2004 VOTC sculpt.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

MedicomToy updated over weekend with the official announcement of Kubrick DX SERIES 3: Tatooine. This series features Floppy Hat Luke, R5-D4, Garindan, Sandtrooper with Sentry Droid, Tusken Raider (Vintage deco), Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (Vintage deco). As a bonus, when you collect all six figures you’ll be able to assemble a Kubrick-scale Luke’s Landspeeder!
Scott “ICMG” Pearson has posted a great gallery of images for the new AOTC wave over in JediDefender’s forums. Hasbro has given us a great follow up to the extremely well received ROTJ wave. Give them a look see!
The Yakface Toyguide updates continue today with the addition of R5-D4 from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: Looks stellar on the vintage card. The body has a dirty wash (albeit faint) that some were fearing might be omitted from this “new” version. Since this utilizes the build-a-droid mold, parts can be swapped with other B.A.D. astromechs for additional play value and customization.
CONS: Vestigial Build-A-Droid holes in the figure’s sides not really fitting for the Vintage “collector” line. Back of the body still missing orange panels that Kenner seemed to notice on the 1978 figure and that were present on the Target Exclusive Remote Controlled version.

The Yakface Toyguide updates return today with the addition of Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) from the Vintage Collection.
PROS: A somewhat new take on a classic character as the previous version was little more than a statue. The modification of the Resurgence of the Jedi Battle Pack Luke works well here especially with the added soft goods. Decent likeness and a fair amount of accessories.
CONS: Comlink accessory is very tiny and can be easily lost if precautions aren’t taken to secure it. Would have been swell if we could have received a headset accessory too in order render that POTF2 Gunner Station Luke obsolete as well.

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).

Update: Our friends across the pond at Jedi News have posted a scan from Toys ‘n’ Playthings which again proclaims the imminent arrival of the Clone Wars Republic Attack Shuttle. The article also confirms other new products set to be revealed in a couple weeks at Toy Fair. Check it out.
