Toyguide Update: VC50 Han Solo (Bespin)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Han Solo in Bespin Outfit (VC50) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: Finally, the nearly definitive Bespin Han has been delivered! Hasbro went the extra mile with this release by tooling an excellent sculpt loaded with articulation and the included accessories are gravy as well.
CONS: A minor quibble is that the thigh strap is missing from the holster – not a deal breaker, but it would have really brought this version into the perfect category. Even though it includes the welder and goggles*, one wonders why a gas mask or binders weren’t included. *Hasbro must really have an affinity for the welding profession considering similar accessories were included with the Echo Base version.)
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

Toyguide Update: VC61 Boba Fett (Prototype Armor)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Boba Fett – Prototype Armor (VC61) mailaway from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: This never-before-offered figure looks striking both on and off the card. Nice paint apps where applicable and uses a great sculpt as a base. Shipping now and in a reinforced shipping mailer.
CONS: Being a kitbashed figure, it’s not entirely accurate in terms of accuracy to the test costume, namely the inclusion of the holster. Another Boba Fett mailaway? Hopefully Hasbro ventures out to other Star Wars characters for the next one. This figure is part of the sequential number system usually reserved for figures available at retail.

K-Mart Clearance
Whilst hunting for new Vintage figures today (yeah, right) I did stumble across a few deals at a local K-mart store. A few of the Clone Wars Deluxe Figure/Vehicle sets were marked down to $6.00 each as well as a couple of Legacy Battle Packs, namely the Gelagrub patrol for $9. Your local experience may vary but if you’re out and about it might be worth a stop.
