Yakface forum member acklayhunter has shared a close up image of the new Tauntaun mold courtesy of Banthaskull.com – look closely by clicking on the image above… you’ll see there is a clear line there that Hasbro has apparently made as a “place holder” for what could be an eventual re-release with a split belly so you can keep your Hoth Luke figures nice and warm in native Hoth intestines!

The newest Target Exclusive have started showing up around the country, and while there does seem to be a bite in the wallet for the Landspeeder and Luke’s Tauntaun (087-06-1732) at $24.99 a pop, the Search for Luke Skywalker set (087-06-1749) is well worth its $24.99 pricepoint. Look for these exclusives on the endcap, not in the aisle, in most stores.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Rebel Fleet Trooper (VC52) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: We’ve suffered through a bulky version as well as poorly articulated and oddly colored versions, now we’re treated to a superbly sculpted and articulated figure that has accessories in spades! A perfect candidate for army building especially since it’s reshipping in wave 9 case assortments.
CONS: The most glaring oversight here is the lack of a holster. It’s inclusion would have put this figure in the “no need to make another one ever again” category, but sadly it falls short of that honor.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
