Toyguide Update: Ewok Scouts (Kmart)

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Kmart Exclusive Ewok Scouts from The Vintage Collection.

PROS: For lovers of Ewoks (or Imperial cannon fodder), 2012 has been awesome for collectors as we’ve received nearly a dozen (counting accessory variants) of these little furballs this year. Also, Vintage packaging fans get an introduction to a new way to deliver figures in a nostalglic way. Hasbro is really excited about this packaging form factor and promises that it will lend itself to offering more that just figures in the future. Shipping along side it, this set is complemented by the Endor AT-ST Crew and both sets together, combined with the Kmart Exclusive AT-ST Walker, offer an instant battle scenario that we all recreated as kids.

CONS: Again, like much of 2012 it comes down to availability as there are not a lot of Kmart stores around anymore, hopefully these will turn up on their website soon.

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

Toyguide Update: Scout Walker (Kmart)

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Kmart Exclusive Scout Walker from The Vintage Collection.

PROS: The third time is the charm with the Scout Walker as here we are treated to a near-screen perfect version of the Endor AT-ST. The gray color looks just right when compared to the prior versions of this design. The Vintage-style box is the main selling point here as the design is very much in keeping with the original line while looking new at the same time.

CONS: While Hasbro managed to bring us a bit closer in terms of overall color for the AT-ST, they went a bit heavy handed on the “mud” deco on the feet. Surprisingly though, once you take this off the shelf and place it outside into the “forest”, it is hardly noticeable so I really don’t count this as a negative. One major negative, at least on my version, is the wobbly legs as they are barely able to support its own weight let alone with drivers added in the cockpit.
