Hasbro has released some new press images of the upcoming Deluze Luke and Wampa, Han and Tauntaun, and the basic Han as Stormtrooper and Bossk. There is something off about Bossk and I can’t put my finger on it. Is the lower body too puffy compared to the upper torso? Click through for the gallery.

Way back in 2007, Ewoks were still using the buddy system. For the 30th Anniversary Collection, Hasbro released this Romba figure and this (not) Graak figure for the low price of a single basic figure. Click through for our Throwback Review of these two little guys.
File this under bitter sweet. We received this report of multiple Black Series cases at a Toys R Us in central Massachusetts, but the wave 6 assortment is awful. The last thing stores need is a lot more Yodas. Hopefully the holiday season clears the decks for the good figures next year. Click through for the full sized image.

Though the title of the card avoids highlighting the fact that this is the Holiday Special Boba Fett, that is in fact the source of this figure. This breath of source material encapsulates the greatness of the 30th Anniversary Collection and the Animated Debut Boba Fett is the focus of today’s Throwback Review.
In addition to the individual cars and multipacks hitting stores, the first track playset has been spotted. The Death Star Battle Blast track comes with an X-Wing styled car that can be launched down a track to destroy the Death Star. The set scanned at $14.97. Click through for the full sized images.

WARNING: The head sculpt on the figure for today’s Throwback Review is so horrific that we ask those with weak constitutions and heart conditions to avoid clicking through. For everyone else, here is 2007’s 30th Anniversary Collection Yavin Ceremony Luke Skywalker.
This could be titled Dude Where’s My Figures. Unless you want to ignore your years of collecting experience, you know something is amiss with the action figure support for the recently launched Rebels series. If Hasbro could be accused of one thing, it’s OVER supporting new media at launch. There is an issue here and hit the jump for what the possible cause is.
UPDATEL: Please see our new update with further corroboration.

I hated this figure when it was released in 2007. They say time heals all wounds. They be wrong. I still hate the 30th Anniversary Collection Clone Trooper in Training Fatigues and today’s Throwback Review explains why.
Well, after around a week of being listed as “coming soon”, some of the newer carded Black Series figures like Galen Marek and Darth Malgus, as well as some newer 6” figures like Chewbacca and the Sandtrooper are up at hasbrotoyshop.com.
Get ‘em before they’re gone. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

This source of this 7th Legion Clone Trooper is so obscure that Hasbro didn’t even bother giving it a specific write up on the card back. Instead they went with generic text about Clone Troopers in general, but that obscurity does not prevent our scrutiny in today’s Throwback Review.
Every single line should have a Stormtrooper available at some point. That’s just an undeniable fact. Unfortunately for the 30th Anniversary Collection, Hasbro took an aspect of the VOTC Stormtrooper that wasn’t broke and kept fixing it until it was for this Imperial Stormtrooper release.
While the web is awash (including here on Bantha Skull) with reports of new 3.75” Black Series and Rebels figures hitting en masse. I once again draw the booby prize. My trip to Toys R Us uncovered super shampoo bottles.

With five figures listed as Darth Vader on the card, you could argue that the 30th Anniversary Collection was Vader-palooza even though one of those Vaders was pre-armor. The most basic armored version is this Episode IV take on the character and it proves that even core Vader figures are good.
Pictures are starting to come in of the new Black Series cards showing up at retail.
Forum member Darth Mire was kind enough to share this pic of the new Black Series cards littering the pegs at his local Toys R Us. Another forum member, RogueLeader also…
