Vintage 9 Pack on TPR?

If you have passed up to this point on the Target Exclusive Vintage 9pk, you might want to cruise your aisles again. A local MN collector friend, “JediMoses”, has found this on Temporary Price Reduction to a very attractive $35.99. This is a localized markdown and not all Target are observing this price but if your store had an ample supply of these you might want to visit (or at least call) to check. DPCI: 087-06-1620

VC24 Wooof

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Wooof from the Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave.

PROS: Marking one of the first truly new character offerings in a long time, Wooof gets his own figure since 1983 (collectors remember him then as “Klaatu”). Wooof features all the articulation one would expect and has an all-new sculpt for the body. (Head is a revised Giran sculpt). Well accessorized too with Vibro Ax (also from Giran), Blaster, removable helmet and bandolier.

CONS: Helmet is a little loose on the head and the skin tone is akin to a lime, but otherwise a totally solid figure worth repeat purchases.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.

VC22 Admiral Ackbar

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Admiral Ackbar from the Vintage Collection’s Return of the Jedi wave.

PROS: Our favorite appetizer, err, Admiral receives a modern update with all the bells and whistles he would need to lead the Rebel Fleet into victory! Excellent sculpt and overall design and the inclusion of the command console is a nice touch versus that weird comlink wrist blaster from over a decade ago.

CONS: No ankle joints, not that he needed them. Wrong rank/badge sculpt on the uniform looks to have been modeled after the Mon Calamari Officer. That being said, do not skip this figure.
