If you aren’t a Facebook follower now is the time as we are going to be giving away 3 of the latest figures from The Vintage Collection! Read on for more!
Upon “playing” with my new Search for Luke Skywalker set tonight, I decided to perform abdominal surgery* on the new Tauntaun to see how roomy the interior might be should Hasbro decide to make an “open belly” version. I’m sad to report that unless they make him with removable legs, there will be no way to have the new Hoth Luke fit (convincingly) inside the steamy guts of the fell-beast. You can check out facebook page for a better look.
*The belly plug is affixed with glue in a few spots but, if you’re careful, you can remove it with little to no damage to the tauntaun.
Now that you’ve seen shots of the actual product, we posted a poll on our facebook page asking what you think of the new Maul packaging showcased at NYCC?

In case you haven’t been following, we created a new album on our Facebook page showcasing the amazing Yoda’s Hut 1:6 Scale Environment from Sideshow Collectibles. If you’ve been on the log, err fence about ordering this piece, I can attest that this high-end collectible that is far too good to pass up if you have the means.

Thanks to one of my local MN collector pals, I was able to secure a few of the latest Vintage Collection figures from Wave 7. In today’s “Yak”Facebook Preview, we take a look at Logray (Ewok Medicine Man). This all new version features the most articulation yet for an Ewok, sporting not only ball-jointed hips and ankles, but elbows as well! Let’s hope this trend continues with future furball releases. For more images, head to our facebook page and be sure to keep an eye out for more Wave 7 editions over the next few days as well as complete Toyguide Updates for each figure.
