Hasbrotoyshop.com has the latest wave of Vintage figures in stock! Keep in mind these are only available on their site by the case, but with how depressing the retail distribution has been since Christmas, you might not want to pass up this opportunity.
Now only if Hasbro had packed TWO of each new figure in a case… but regardless, thanks to forumites AaylaSecurasMan and Grimace for the heads up!
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.

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Rebel Commando from the 2011 Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave (Wave 3).
PROS: This latest attempt at an Endor Rebel Solider (aka Rebel Commando) shines above all others. Well accessorized and articulated making it another “must-have” figure from the Vintage line. Easily removable accessories make customizing and variant creation possible with minimal effort – you’ll want/need more than one of these guys for your Endor Strike Team.
CONS: Odd forward-tilting angle of the neck post sculpt force the figure to look in a downward direction.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
