The early word out of day one at Celebration VI is “nothing much new”, but Sol got to spend some time with the madame librarian. While your $25 for this figure will get you a lot of doodads there is one thing it sadly won’t get you. According to Sol, the figure has no lower body articulation. Update: Miscommunication on my part. Her knees are articulated.
Due to work load, laziness, abject poverty and any combination thereof, the administrators of this site will not be on the ground in Orlando, but rest assured that our roving undead reporter, Sol, will be sending in images and info throughout the day.

Another figure for which exactly no one was clamoring to be updated, the Shock Trooper gets the superior articulation treatment. Click through to see if you’ll be replacing that army that you just built in the past couple years.
Apparently Hasbro forgot that The Phantom Menace is horrible. 2012 is book ended with Episode I product. One of the fall releases is Jar Jar Binks which hasn’t been updated since 1999. Click through to see if the figure is worth the wait.
Bantha Skull reader DarthChuckMc informs us that he’s learned that the price of the K-Mart exclusive AT-ST Driver and Ewok 2-packs will be $14.99. That’s a pretty sweet deal. At that price I hope Hasbro had the foresight to pack the AT-ST drivers at a 2:1 ratio to the Ewoks because the army builders are going to FLY off the shelves. Thanks to DarthChuckMc!
Update: The UPC number is 653569779452

It’s official. Like officially official. Yakface.com has the word from Hasbro stating that Wave 16 (formally referred to as Wave 5 2012 by Hasbro) is going to be on-line only. While this was widely believed to be the case, there had been no official comment from Hasbro. For our response to how Hasbro has handled the line in 2012 please
