PROS: As winner of the 2009 Fans’ Choice Poll, Hasbro delivers pretty much the ultimate Bastila. Faithful to the KOTOR source material though the figure’s portrait on the card has had a likeness makeover. Great articulation and paint as well.
CONS: Due to the figure’s popularity, she might be a little difficult to find in the wild at retail. Could benefit from ball jointed hips for addition display options but not a deal breaker.

PROS: Hasbro gives us a nice tribute to the original Kenner Rebel Soldier figure. Great sculpt over all, you want a few for your Hoth dioramas.
CONS: Removable goggles don’t serve much purpose for this figure as he can really wear them over his eyes, at least not very well. Some might not like that Hasbro changed the figure’s portrait from the original movie still used on the 1980’s card.

PROS: Hasbro delivers an amazing rendition of fan favorite “Captain Fordo” here in the ARC Trooper Commander. Great options for display and/or customizing with the switch out clone trooper gear. Awesome head sculpt and loads of articulation with the use of the new (VC45) clone trooper body.
CONS: Might still be tough to find in any quantity (luckily Hasbro intends to reship him later). Probably could have included the standard issue DC-15A blaster rifle for more weapon options.

We’ve updated our toyguide today adding a new section for the 2012 3-3/4″ products revealed at New York Comic-Con last week. We’re dubbing this new section “DMC” (Darth Maul Collection) and it includes the “Movie Heroes” and Walmart Exclusive “Discover the Force” subline.
PROS: We’ve suffered through a bulky version as well as poorly articulated and oddly colored versions, now we’re treated to a superbly sculpted and articulated figure that has accessories in spades! A perfect candidate for army building especially since it’s reshipping in wave 9 case assortments.
CONS: The most glaring oversight here is the lack of a holster. It’s inclusion would have put this figure in the “no need to make another one ever again” category, but sadly it falls short of that honor.

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.)

PROS: Although delayed, Hasbro manages to get a hard to find figure from 2009 back in to the rotation and on the pegs. The overall sculpt is nice as is the inclusion of his sidekick Pilf Mukmuk.
CONS: The limited articulation count may be off-putting for some. May still be difficult to find in some areas. Tiny goggles may be the first accessory lost by unsupervised, young collectors.

PROS: Hasbro delivers yet another all-new Plo Koon for the Clone Wars line. The sculpt overall is fantastic with a lot of detail worked into the leg wraps and head. The additional removable accessories are a nice touch as well. He shares the same torso and legs as the Cold Weather Kit Fisto (CW60) so parts like the head, hands and traction spikes can be swapped between the two of them. Despite being based of a comic book source, the sculpt fits it seamlessly with the rest of the animated series-based figures.
CONS: None.

PROS: Hasbro delivers yet another all-new Kit Fisto for the Clone Wars line. The sculpt overall is fantastic with a lot of detail worked into the leg wraps and head. The additional removable accessories are a nice surprise considering this is supposedly a “kid-focused” line. Fits into the most recent Jedi Starfighter cockpit (sold separately).
CONS: Because of the design of the head, the neck joint has a very limited (to the point of non-existent) range of motion. Small accessories, especially the goggles, all but guarantee being lost within the first few hours of play so having them sculpted to the figure might have worked better in the long term.

PROS: A decent figure for the most part, nothing earth-shattering in terms of innovation but he’s well articulated and accessorized.
CONS: The color of the plastic used for this figure doesn’t match the Toys”R”Us exclusive Special Operations Clone Trooper (aka Commander Blackout) when in all actuality, it probably should.
