Toyguide Update: Ewok Assault Catapult

1 Comment

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry for the ever continuing Vintage Collection. Today, we take a look at the Kmart Exclusive Ewok Assault Catapult.

PROS: Again, Kmart proves to be the retailer of choice when it comes to Original Trilogy merchandise. Not only do we get 2 “new” and unique Ewoks, but an all new catapult as well.

CONS: It really would have been nice to get the dalmatian Ewok (Brethupp) that was originally solicited with this set. Hopefully that version will see the light of day.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this set is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: Evolution of Darth Vader

3 Comments

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume with our next entry for the 2013 Vader Collection. Today, we take a look at the Evolution of Darth Vader Gift Set*.

PROS: The pros are few but this set does bring together nearly the best sculpts of each figure Hasbro has to offer and makes for a nice gift pack for $30-40. Surprisingly, the main reason to buy this set is for the Vader. Sure, it’s just the Evolution/TVC08 sculpt but the deco on the underlying head sculpt is a marked improvement over the TVC figure as it corrects that weird white stripe on the chin.

CONS: As if the world needed more opportunities to buy an Anakin or Vader figure. Pick this set up if you are one of the few completists out there that absolutely need every repaint or if you are an incurable Anakin devotee.

The ISY Custom Zombie Exclusive!

isysculpts

Our good friends at Imperialshipyards are offering up some zombie themed head sculpts for all you customizers out there.  With Halloween right around the corner, now is the perfect time to place an order!

Personal Note:  Why hasn’t Hasbro made a Death Trooper?  Are they unaware that zombies are all the rage right now?  And don’t they realize how popular the GI Joe line’s Zombie Viper was (and still is)?
