The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of a few of the latest variants from the Vintage Collection. Next up: VC44 Luke Skywalker (Dagobah Landing).
This running change corrects the pale blue lightsaber which shipped in this figure’s original run and replaced it with a darker, more vibrant blue mold.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this variation is worth adding to your collection.

First revealed at Toy Fair, Sandtroopers.com comes through again with a first look at the packaging* for the R/C Republic Fighter Tank for the Clone Wars line. Head on over for a closer look.
PROS: Fantastic esthetically and the likeness is near perfect for the animated character. The fabric for the skirt is some of the best I’ve see in the modern era of collecting.
CONS: This will be a sticking point for some – articulation. There are no knee or ankle joints and the elbow only feature simple swivel joints.

Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have posted a discovery from one of their reader which shows that Hasbro has made some tweaks to the helmet and deco for the Stormtrooper (VC41) in the Vintage Collection. Head on over for the full details and we’ll be sure to add this version to our toyguide entry once this version is acquired.
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Jango Fett from the Vintage Collection’s Attack of the Clones wave (Wave 4).
PROS: Pretty much the definitive Jango in terms of sculpt and accessories. Re-worked, scene specific gauntlets are a nice touch as is the new jetpack and missile.
CONS: The gauntlet blades are not removable (i.e. they are deployed all the time). Overall color of the jumpsuit seems to still be “off” a bit but it’s a vast improvement over the grape flavored version included in the recent Geonosis Arena set.
