TVC Wave 3 Continues To Trickle Out
Thanks to a local collector friend of mine, I was able to find a complete set of TVC wave 3 (the Malgus Wave) at my local Target this morning. This marks the first time I’ve seen Malgus at retail let alone a complete wave of new figures since January.
Toyguide Update: VC99 Nikto (Skiff Guard)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of the Nikto Skiff Guard (VC99) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: Hasbro crosses one of the last remaining figures from the original Kenner line to be re-sculpted off the list. As excited people were for Tarkin to make it to the Vintage line (myself included), Nikto simply delivers on all counts: the colors, the sculpt, the accessories and the cardback convey that sense of nostalgia we all feel for this line.
CONS: Other than being able to find this figure at retail, he’s pretty much flawless.
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.
TVC Tarkin Upgrade
It’s obvious that the new Vintage Collection Grand Moff Tarkin leaves much to be desired in the esthetic arena, but if you have the tools and the talent, you can take this mediocre figure and modify him for a far better interpretation. Check out DarthMac’s WIP of TVC Tarkin 2.0
