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.
We have just received our first store report of the Rebels branded Saga Legends and Mission Series hitting a Target store in central Massachusetts. Click through for the full sized image.

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…

We’re back to the 2007 line today with the Throwback Review of the General McQuarrie figure. This figure is based on a cameo appearance by Ralph McQuarrie in The Empire Strikes back and despite lacking articulation, I argue this figure is a must own.
I apologize for the lateness of this review, but I couldn’t find the stand that went with the figure and hate to wait until my lunch break to look for it (ah the benefits of working from home). Without further delay, here’s today’s Throwback Review of 2008’s Battle Damaged Darth Vader from The Force Unleashed.
It’s a wrap folks…but that’s not all. We have an official title for Episode VII.
The Force Awakens
Not a bad title, but at least it’s not Attack of the Clones.
