Vintage Collection AT-ST Revealed!
The gang at Sandtroopers.com have revealed an upcoming K-Mart exclusive that’s sure to be popular with fans – a vintage style packaged AT-ST!
This repaint of the previous Wal-Mart and Target offering has new paint deco, but appears to lack having the amazing new AT-ST driver that was part of the Target offering previously.
Still, it looks damn cool and this is one that I know I’ll be wanting to track down (or two!).
Ziro is Coming! Ziro is Coming!
Hasbro is officially making Ziro the Hutt! The caveat is that he’s coming as an exclusive in the Fighter Pod line. Head on over to Sandtroopers.com for a closer look at a special Fighter Pod tin set that will be exclusive to Target later this year.
Sorry for getting your hopes up Clone Wars fans.

Toyguide Update: Royal Starship Droids (Walmart Exc.)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Royal Starship Droids Battle Pack (2 of 2) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Walmart picks up a great exclusive here. Anything astromech related has a huge following in the collecting community as demonstrated by their steady sell through at retail. The deco on all of the droids is great making these the most accurate versions to date. As a bonus, these figures use the B.A.D. sculpt which promotes a ton of customizing options and additional play value. R2-N3 (the green one) gets a debut here and each droid includes their power harness/docking stations – all of which act as a huge accessory set to the Naboo Royal Starship/Playset from 1999.
CONS: Some may not like the Build-A-Droid/Droid Factory play system. Initially difficult to find but the set is now shipping in greater quantity. Since there is only one new figure (by name) in this set collectors might feel obligated to pick this up by that reason alone.

Toyguide Update: Tusken Raider (11 of 12)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Tusken Raider (11 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: The Tusken Raider from 2006 gets back to the market for those that might have missed him previously. Soft goods are superior in texture, weight and overall esthetic to many other modern figures that feature fabric accents. The deco update addes variety to the Tusken ranks as they all should look different from one another in that respect.
CONS: Swivel elbows are a reminder of how spoiled we are with most of today’s super-articulated figures. Forearms have a tendency to pop off when posing the figure dynamically.

Toyguide Update: Destroyer Droid (3 of 12)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with the Destroyer Droid (3 of 12) from Walmart’s exclusive “Discover the Force in 3-D” collection.
PROS: Hasbro revisits the upgraded Destroyer Droid from the TAC line with a slightly different paint job and a recast of the deflector shield remedying its transparency issue to some degree.
CONS: You still can’t “transform” the droideka into is rolling mode and you only get half of the deflector shield. The figure’s interaction with the shield is a bit clunky but overall it serves it’s purpose. Despite Hasbro efforts to recast the shield in a more translucent plastic, it might have been better to carry the previous shield color forward to avoid having mismatched complete shields.
