Kithaba Bandana Variant
There is another. On the heels of our post regarding the Dr. Evazan variant, Eddie from DorksideToys.com has sent us an image of a red bandana variant for Kithaba. Click the image above to check it out!
Evazan Variant Confirmed
Over the weekend, Galactic Hunter posted on their Facebook page a theory of a possible face paint variant/running change for Dr. Evazan. We’ve received visual confirmation of this thanks to reader Frank Laureyssens. As you can see, one has a pink facial scar under the right eye and the other does not.

Upcoming Figures Hit eBay
Our friends at JediDefender.com and JediTempleArchives.com have shared information regarding an ebayer who has several auctions going on currently for upcoming figures of Nom Anor, Aayla Secura, Dr. Evazan, Kithaba, and the upcoming 501st Clone Trooper.
Other than Hasbro’s lazy effort with the ginormous helmet on the clone, this looks like some of Hasbro’s finest work. Head on over to Jedi Defender or Jedi Temple Archives for the auction links and share your thoughts in the Yakface Forums!
Toyguide Update: VC84 Queen Amidala
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Queen Amidala (VC84) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: This particular figures scratches one of the often-requested costumes off the “must have” list for Padmé. There is an amazing amount of detail in the sculpt itself and the likeness is spot on with Natalie Portman. Hasbro even went the extra mile to sculpt her some real (non-articulated) legs that are far more detailed than necessary but nice none the less.
CONS: The articulation, while generous, is completely unnecessary for a figure of this type. Posing of the arms in any position other than straight down looks “funny” due to the plastic sculpt of sleeves.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
