Joining the never-ending crop of variants from the Vintage Collection (half of them seem to spawn from this Luke figure alone), Jedi Temple Archives is reporting that Hasbro has finally corrected the missing “chrome” gradient in the name pill for the Luke Skywalker (Endor Capture) first present on the “Jedi Knight Outfit” cardback from wave 3. Head on over for a detailed look.
Rumors are circulating today of a couple new Clone Wars two-packs themed around the “Brain Invaders” and “Legacy of Terror” episodes of the Clone Wars. A quick eBay search has revealed that a new 212th Clone Trooper is probably one of the figures slated for one of these sets – joining Clone Trooper “Scythe” in the other. As you can see this particular clone trooper features an updated helmet sculpt that incorporates the headlamps onto each side. A quick scouring of Wookieepedia reveals that this trooper is “Gearshift“.
Head to the eBay auction for more images or bid and be sure to check out this seller’s other items as well as he has a couple other new figures as well.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Bom Vimdin (Cantina Patron) from the 2011 Vintage Collection’s (Wave 7).
PROS: Hasbro has added an all-new, never-before-released, goon to patronize our cantina dioramas and toy shelves. His outfit is loaded with details giving a very life-like quality, especially the spiky vest/torso and the gloved hands. He is well accessorized too with working holster and thigh strap (the RFT is very jealous) and side arm, and one of the coolest rifles ever done.
CONS: Absolutely nothing, other than the potential for him being tough to find.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
