The boxed set has three very good trooper repaints with a couple of remolded parts each - and this guy, who  has a new skirt/belt, helmet, and torso.  The character doesn&#39;t have a heck of a lot to do.  Heck, a lot of &lt;i&gt;Ahsoka&lt;/i&gt; seemed to be more about pageantry than characterization as we&#39;ve been seeing a lot of stories relying more on recognition than novelty.   But that&#39;s not why this is an interesting figure.  Even if you have a rather blah story on a gray planet where you don&#39;t get a lot of personality, that&#39;s not &lt;i&gt;entirely&lt;/i&gt; a problem for action figures.  For over 48 years fans were fascinated by the vibes and the amazing work of the creature shops and costume departments.   We&#39;re not collecting characters so much as we&#39;re hoarding scaled-down replicas of the craftsmanship from Hollywood&#39;s finest.  And that&#39;s OK, this is a pretty neat riff on a Stormtrooper.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY9xRBRrubRPdArGmwhbASs-Gp_DAFSfFd8djBlLJRS7M0ypUVXJP5gzosAnbIWqKUrjHXsB449KTXuJrLy9Id35y1PPBtH7BkLm-n3p3zo0IUnEKi7bB5E-m7N0GGOzK4mWgqvgNrKWbujkKMxxNzyzQUOeIMxsj-OKh1QanAMyZDMyRaTaF1IOtBcc/s1250/3349tvc-captain-enoch4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgY9xRBRrubRPdArGmwhbASs-Gp_DAFSfFd8djBlLJRS7M0ypUVXJP5gzosAnbIWqKUrjHXsB449KTXuJrLy9Id35y1PPBtH7BkLm-n3p3zo0IUnEKi7bB5E-m7N0GGOzK4mWgqvgNrKWbujkKMxxNzyzQUOeIMxsj-OKh1QanAMyZDMyRaTaF1IOtBcc/w133-h200/3349tvc-captain-enoch4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Enoch&#39;s limbs are the same as a standard Stormtrooper, with a newly-sculpted back piece featuring distinctive deco and greeblies that remind me a lot of the exterior of &lt;i&gt;It&#39;s a Small World&lt;/i&gt;.  It&#39;s mostly white with basic shapes and some gold, with little splashes of color - it seems to fit.     I was delighted to see the gold patterns on the armor painted quite nicely, and the red fingers and body glove gave the figure a much different feel from an average trooper.  Sure, the legs are mostly the same, but you have that whole new skirt which seems to riff on Jedi and bounty hunter elements.  A working holster?  With a new pistol?  That&#39;s pretty exciting, too.  The unique silhouette reminded me a bit of Captain Bacara (the Clone) too, but the gold keeps it fresh.  Hopefully the gold paint ages well, because it looks really good now and you can see a lot of money was spent in painting this guy.  And here we are, not even two years later, where one figure with as much (or less) paint costs us $19.99 when in 2024, this four pack was a mere $55.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4hC23FW3KO09Q8crkoyqDIQ1-9v-Bs3f8KWY1F_MDh-eLmikFzk9r6vLtY4OQVFBKBfkIDA4N4fj9lncDbWpScfV7BMz0j4ysBzW8qC3KQj0Rg7AzwF8GH2oleQavJjolAFULsx-WIy8mqF_AiGkjQ6BdYyX7TWIVY0_ZfbaV_zP9HnX_C3nr5rm36A/s1250/3349tvc-captain-enoch3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib4hC23FW3KO09Q8crkoyqDIQ1-9v-Bs3f8KWY1F_MDh-eLmikFzk9r6vLtY4OQVFBKBfkIDA4N4fj9lncDbWpScfV7BMz0j4ysBzW8qC3KQj0Rg7AzwF8GH2oleQavJjolAFULsx-WIy8mqF_AiGkjQ6BdYyX7TWIVY0_ZfbaV_zP9HnX_C3nr5rm36A/w133-h200/3349tvc-captain-enoch3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Given it&#39;s a trooper from an army builder set, I had low expectations - but that new back piece and the paint are capped off by an all-new helmet.  There&#39;s a sculpted humanoid face in there.  It&#39;s painted gold, with black eyes!  It looks a lot like the TV show, so the sculptor or whoever scanned it and adapted it for figures did a great job.  The paint choices were smart, but I think we&#39;re once again seeing some limitations in what you can do at the size.    The prop on the show had a sort of faded quality, and a texture that you just can&#39;t replicate on a head the size of a grape.   The helmet detail is a little fuzzy, with the Imperial cogs feeling a bit less sharp.  The gray painted-in boxes on the back of the helmet are off by a couple of millimeters.  If it was the front, it&#39;d be a problem - but here, it&#39;s fine.  The gold detailing looks good too.  It also looks a little too fresh, which frequently happens with budgets for toys in this day and age.  Wear and tear make &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; feel like &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt;, and Hasbro did a great job including the patch jobs with the gold paint.  But the grit, the texture, that wasn&#39;t replicated on this one. (I also assume it&#39;d add $10 to the set if they did it.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I still feel that if you get a figure (or figure set) for a price that feels fair, it&#39;s a good figure.  This is a good figure.   Figures were closer to $17 when the set came out, and I&#39;d have happily paid it just for this one captain - the fact that he had there buddies makes it a better deal.  While his skirt does get in the way of leg mobility, so do the older leg joints which just feel older and older after a dozen or so trooper figures.  Hasbro has shown us they can do better, and hopefully they&#39;ll take the initiative to make new hips for the next new Stormtrooper variant because these aren&#39;t so great.   In the context of this figure&#39;s release, they were good enough and we were charged accordingly.   With just a few parts, Hasbro made an old mold feel like a new figure and that&#39;s the kind of smart budgeting that makes this line interesting and, as we seem to be treading water in a stream of trooper and droid repaints, kind of exhausting.   But I would have made this same figure, this same way, were I given any sort of project management control at its time of release and I hope Hasbro brings it back to stores (key word: to stores) so fans can buy it when &lt;i&gt;Ahsoka&lt;/i&gt; season two hits digital airwaves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; I got mine from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?searchfield=hasbro+F9259&amp;amp;id=16-502018719&quot;&gt;Entertainment Earth&lt;/a&gt;.  But they&#39;re sold out, so use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://amzn.to/45UTOji&quot;&gt;&quot;&amp;gt;Amazon sponsored link&lt;/a&gt; as the price was even more reasonable as I write this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I wanted to see if we&#39;d get retail versions, and I guess &lt;i&gt;technically&lt;/i&gt; we did.  This version of &lt;b&gt;Garazeb &quot;Zeb&quot; Orrelios&lt;/b&gt; was based on his end-of-the-show costume from &lt;i&gt;Star Wars: Rebels&lt;/i&gt;, making it a desirable addition to a collection of toys from a pretty good show with a pretty good toy line.  I dare say &lt;i&gt;Rebels&lt;/i&gt; was one of the two best toy line-ups since Disney took over, the other being &lt;i&gt;Solo: A Star Wars Story&lt;/i&gt; for its pretty decent vehicle selection which mixed &quot;amazing&quot; (TIE Fighter, Han Solo&#39;s Landspeeder, AD-DT Walker) with &quot;trash&quot; (Kesssel Run &lt;i&gt;Millennium Falcon&lt;/i&gt;, don&#39;t argue, I&#39;m right.)   If you liked &lt;i&gt;The Clone Wars&lt;/i&gt; you have hundreds of great LEGO sets and Hasbro figures to buy.  If you loved &lt;i&gt;Rebels&lt;/i&gt;, it&#39;s a smaller collection - but pretty rewarding.  The 6-inch figures? Good.  The kiddo cartoon line? Wonderful sculpts, plus some of Hasbro&#39;s best vehicles since the line returned in the 1990s.  Even &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt; delivers the goods, just not a lot of them.  These guys were handled with care - even a retool like Zeb.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4tUqXJZnhjvsdmYm9O4jj8-qvNcSktyCDFIkt-tqYXR9KyWdizxjkcPH-_Ag-zaHPM1RqdbV3vf0-V4sKsI0oSb7bHOuxFD6sstII7HmSluj-JDnJMmePjk5hWNCb4pPiGtLDHxfwIll_hXSCjMJwm0YsAxztxKpqPh_sPM1G5S3xjLohqru4LI5Er68/s1250/3348tvc-haslab-zeb3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4tUqXJZnhjvsdmYm9O4jj8-qvNcSktyCDFIkt-tqYXR9KyWdizxjkcPH-_Ag-zaHPM1RqdbV3vf0-V4sKsI0oSb7bHOuxFD6sstII7HmSluj-JDnJMmePjk5hWNCb4pPiGtLDHxfwIll_hXSCjMJwm0YsAxztxKpqPh_sPM1G5S3xjLohqru4LI5Er68/s320/3348tvc-haslab-zeb3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I&#39;m writing this before I see the movie, so if he does anything weird I am currently unaware of it.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

As a &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2024/08/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-3161.html&quot;&gt;figure that shares parts with a season 1-specific version [FOTD #3,161]&lt;/a&gt;, this Zeb is still a solid figure with nearly identical accessories which, by modern standards, make it seem preposterous that the first release was sold as a &quot;deluxe.&quot;  You get bo-rifles in extended and packed-in modes, plus desaturated pink energy nodules.  If you mixed them up in your personal collection, you might not easily be able to tell the difference - they were good before, and they&#39;re good here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipzsRvwpsPOZq0AUtZLPS9y7AS2lkIWKJfuRJ3Zn4gdOAkjPj5mzhyTHJjGna7oUf-8KIEP7lM6jpvGg0PRDFNjEteESYQL2PLXQ4P7qhg8XxiCvBsu6gA0uHAjLvFifB7wmxvsP8PyZ5gendBk0XjcSsaOuAJJzv8ry7p3B-DZXWa3-bxvTzJURG0xlk/s1250/3348tvc-haslab-zeb6.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipzsRvwpsPOZq0AUtZLPS9y7AS2lkIWKJfuRJ3Zn4gdOAkjPj5mzhyTHJjGna7oUf-8KIEP7lM6jpvGg0PRDFNjEteESYQL2PLXQ4P7qhg8XxiCvBsu6gA0uHAjLvFifB7wmxvsP8PyZ5gendBk0XjcSsaOuAJJzv8ry7p3B-DZXWa3-bxvTzJURG0xlk/w133-h200/3348tvc-haslab-zeb6.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The figure itself has an all-new head, no shoulder armor, a new belt, and new neck armor.  It looks different, the colors are a little different, but it&#39;s functionally the same figure.  That is to say, Hasbro did a good job with articulation and wisely said &quot;don&#39;t change it!&quot;  The legs swing forward nicely, the knees bend cleanly, the ankles rock, the wrists bend and swivel, and there&#39;s a rocking waist pivot joint too.  With thigh swivels, knee joints, and elbow joints, plus the obligatory neck joint, I have no reason to make one complaint about articulation.  He stands, he sits, he crouches, he&#39;s pretty much perfectly engineered and one of those figures you could hand someone as an example of Hasbro doing what they do well.  I&#39;m sure you can thank Lucasfilm too - with no skirt, no coat, and no unsightly dangling fabric, everything just works.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

But how does he look? Great.  Hasbro did a nice job here.  Unlike the previous release, there&#39;s no &quot;cartoon&quot; version of this costume as an action figure.  This is it.   He has the red stripes on his shoulders, the yellow lights on his belt, the revised communicator colors on his wrist, and even that blue circle with a white triangle in it.  He even has what seems to be Sabine Wren artwork in the form of the Big Bingo from earlier in the series - a nice detail, to be sure.  The colors are all in line with how the cartoon model looked, but maybe not the brightness or contrast.  The purple fur all seems darker, so the stripes are harder to see.   However, this seems to make the smirking, sneering face look better. His smile really pops and his eyes are posed perfectly so he can elbow Ezra and needle him in your dioramas.  It&#39;s a little bit of personality, but it goes a long way and makes this figure way more fun than his peers.  It&#39;s rare that a modern &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt; figure has real personality - photorealism, yes, but not personality - and it really was a good choice here.   It&#39;s kind of a shame they locked him behind a crowdfund, because I believe fans would clear this guy off the pegs if they ever put him out in an assortment in stores.  At a reasonable price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljhoIqzf5P9iBNviZYr_FsJzBhN3yiagGa5KXTR480sLfSVkBR4exMOneYog9PvjhZ9kAtPtdxltf6BXp87onjPOCZ560S337f1QAu889m4EeWz8GRCZY0aY1N1V3h16AGpshCCRWV7LHqr4Qyroe0jH24BRCdMRb9QwPG6_t8WqBd5EI1MFK1RWiJvM/s1250/3348tvc-haslab-zeb5.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljhoIqzf5P9iBNviZYr_FsJzBhN3yiagGa5KXTR480sLfSVkBR4exMOneYog9PvjhZ9kAtPtdxltf6BXp87onjPOCZ560S337f1QAu889m4EeWz8GRCZY0aY1N1V3h16AGpshCCRWV7LHqr4Qyroe0jH24BRCdMRb9QwPG6_t8WqBd5EI1MFK1RWiJvM/s320/3348tvc-haslab-zeb5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;While those colors aren&#39;t perfect, I&#39;m always going to give Hasbro more of a benefit to the doubt when making realistic figures out of a stylized design, or a retro figure off of &lt;i&gt;any&lt;/i&gt; design.  So maybe his shoulder paint isn&#39;t as bright as the cardback art - that&#39;s fine.  It still looks cool, and the figure has plenty of detail and articulation. The only thing missing is a &quot;Rebel&quot; version of Kallus with the nicer hair and jacket from the end of the show, and maybe Hasbro will get to that someday.  It&#39;s been a slow clip of new releases from &lt;i&gt;Rebels&lt;/i&gt;, but at least when we look back at the run it&#39;s mostly very good.  Get this one if you see him at a fair price, and if you don&#39;t, ask Hasbro to reissue him. I&#39;ll support you.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; I got mine from Hasbro Pulse.  The set hasn&#39;t really held its value over time, which may be good news for you - you might be able to pick up the vehicle and all the figures for $100 or so more than I paid for mine as a pre-sale.   And others may be willing to sell just the figures, or just the ship, if they&#39;re so inclined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hasbro did a pretty good job with the set, riffing on its existing figure molds much as Lucasfilm iterated on its existing armor molds to make new costumes.  Heck, I&#39;ll even say I&#39;m mildly annoyed people weren&#39;t bigger fans of the third season of the show - I rewatched it not-too-recently and had a pretty good time.  Really the only thing that bugged me was a big Mandalorian showdown for leadership of a clan in what seemed to be a Los Angeles park.  Otherwise, we got a pretty solid little show filled with new faces and the faceless, nameless armored dudes.  Really, the only thing anybody did wrong here was wait this long to make this kind of a show.    In the 2020s, we&#39;ve had a &lt;i&gt;lot&lt;/i&gt; of Mandalorians so making a nameless $65 gift set for characters with little personality and few appearances may make for tough sells.  At least they also make for cool figures.&lt;p&gt;

I think this figure would&#39;ve been a hit in stores, even if she is a modified Bo-Katan Kryze costume.  The holsters, skirt, and scarf are new with the rest being mostly reused elements.  New paint goes a long way, and with her colors resembling a pastiche of Boba and Jango Fett suits there&#39;s a lot to like.  The slightly scuffed helmet looks good, and the scarf seems less like an affectation of a film professor wearing such a garment in Tucson when it&#39;s 100 degrees out. (You know who you are.)   The figure doesn&#39;t have the rifle from the illustration per se, but she does have a cool blaster pistol and a knife.  She has no problems holding the gear or holstering the blaster, and the jetpack fits in her back socket nicely.  I&#39;m not exactly a fan with a super high bar to clear here, if the figure has the correct colors and can use her accessories I&#39;m a happy camper.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I can&#39;t help but wonder why the other half of the Mandalorians wouldn&#39;t want less weight, but maybe there&#39;s something about fuel efficiency I don&#39;t know.   It is cast in green with an orange stripe and some silver enhancements.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It&#39;s a subtle nod, and the mishmashed armor seems to be consistent with what we&#39;ve seen with a lot of other not-rich armored characters on the show.   Articulation is on par with other modern figures, complete with the improved ball-jointed hips.  Sure, the skirt sort of gets in the way, but I don&#39;t think she&#39;s in much danger of having a vehicle in which to sit at this point.   For a figure that&#39;ll look cool standing around, Hasbro did a great job.  I wish there were more toys for her to mess with, but apparently someone decided &quot;adult mature collectors&quot; want their little plastic men to be all serious and in packaging and not leading around weird flying monsters inside vehicles or other cool stuff, which is unfortunate.   Hasbro did a bang-up job here, and I&#39;d see no reason for them to go back and give us a do-over other than to appeal to that ever-diminishing &quot;I only want single-carded figures&quot; contingent.  If you just want a figure that will look awesome in nearly any display, this is a set worth your dollars.  Especially since it seems to be marked down on the regular.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Other ones add unique armor or other adornments and this one is your basic fellow.  It still reuses that body that&#39;s increasingly long in the tooth, but it&#39;s also the very best one we have at this size.  I was surprised I was able to get some pretty amusing poses out of it still, especially given restrictions on the hips and shoulders.&lt;p&gt;

Whenever I see the 6-inch version of this trooper from &lt;i&gt;The Black Series&lt;/i&gt; I marvel at just how much better the deco and the plastic on the 3 3/4-inch one turned out to be.  Good for us, I say.   Deco is really clean, except where it&#39;s filthy.  Every bit of white armor looks like someone never, ever bothered to run it through a car wash.  I love that.  The black body suit and soles of his shoes are painted black, with lenses that look black or at least, very dark gray.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It&#39;s subtle, and every element looks perfectly fine.   You&#39;re not getting the most modern articulation.  I wish it could be a hair cheaper, but at least it&#39;s a sturdy figure with some of the best paint Hasbro has given us for a filthy post-Death Stars Stormtrooper.  I&#39;ve previously recommended the set, and I still do - until Hasbro makes a better base Stormtrooper mold. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Back in 2021 &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2021/11/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2871-ig-11.html&quot;&gt;IG-11 [FOTD #2,871]&lt;/a&gt; formed the basis for at least three versions of the character - and that one currently sells for a bit of a premium.  The &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2025/04/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-3229-ig-12.html&quot;&gt;most recent version of the character (a very nice figure, with two smaller buddy figures) was blown out at Ross for $4.99&lt;/a&gt; this one has the advantage of different colors and accessories.  Its success will probably have to do with the size of the production run, so if it comes and goes quickly you might not see it on markdown shelves.  I sure as heck haven&#39;t seen many of it in stores yet as it seemed to sell through almost immediately, but I assume more shipments could be coming.  &lt;p&gt;


&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_s4Mbj_lfUpaiLjjmF3COFyPXSRp3ujJ2PnlEBM5NRQa1VsBx7Z_poO8BDwDpUjyBqDUKW0woW07vcsyPQiUXNavWwZAATcuPLBVktnHC3YWql22wSROsnJfsRwe7830-t4ar7VafwqffnsE91Fzr0J-h0daKoBjocHVn0NONk2R8tBs2fI6rc0hhU9o/s1250/3345tvc-ig-11-marshal3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_s4Mbj_lfUpaiLjjmF3COFyPXSRp3ujJ2PnlEBM5NRQa1VsBx7Z_poO8BDwDpUjyBqDUKW0woW07vcsyPQiUXNavWwZAATcuPLBVktnHC3YWql22wSROsnJfsRwe7830-t4ar7VafwqffnsE91Fzr0J-h0daKoBjocHVn0NONk2R8tBs2fI6rc0hhU9o/w133-h200/3345tvc-ig-11-marshal3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This 2026 release uses the same basic body as the 2021 version, but replaces the vest with a belt and adds some more color.   This figure matches &lt;i&gt;The Mandalorian&lt;/i&gt; season 3 finale, where the droid gets his repaired torso back as well as a holster and a vest.  He has red and cream markings on his body now, plus a matching belt buckle to denote his status - somehow being the marshal of an entire planet.  The various hoses and greeblies are pretty much the same as the previous version of the droid, with deco more or less perfectly matching the TV show.   The one element that isn&#39;t a perfect match - and I wouldn&#39;t have noticed if someone hadn&#39;t pointed it out to me - is on the chest.  On the cardback photo and TV show reference, the red stripes go a little above the nub on the center of the chest.   On the figure, they stop at the nub.  Would I ever have noticed were it not pointed out to me?  No.  I don&#39;t assume we&#39;ll ever see a variant (as virtually nothing gets a second production run under the same item number in &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt; anymore), but it&#39;s an interesting thing to note if you&#39;re wondering if you got a bad one.  You didn&#39;t - they&#39;re all like this.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bRMjkU0aTzXAJuSvDvFs3La44OlyKt_n4w7Uc6EdyIlLVixXk5dFibo0Xs6fK0r_hJT2VY26DLOXbL25GRiApONE7A9YTMvE1F1upV88uoJLhKjzsHOZBjtUR5KpJ9vU-Qw4IfG0Ug0owI7SeKux4Z8kytIA_nbCTn0Kb5otjwl9XD1ktGSYCItpGQc/s1250/3345tvc-ig-11-marshal4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1bRMjkU0aTzXAJuSvDvFs3La44OlyKt_n4w7Uc6EdyIlLVixXk5dFibo0Xs6fK0r_hJT2VY26DLOXbL25GRiApONE7A9YTMvE1F1upV88uoJLhKjzsHOZBjtUR5KpJ9vU-Qw4IfG0Ug0owI7SeKux4Z8kytIA_nbCTn0Kb5otjwl9XD1ktGSYCItpGQc/w133-h200/3345tvc-ig-11-marshal4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Articulation is quite good, with the spread-out fingers and ankles that both bend and swivel.  The hips have a good range of movement, and the ball joint in the arms is pretty great at allowing him to have numerous poses.  The head is multiple swiveling parts, too, allowing him to be posed as you see fit.  Hasbro did a real nice job on this guy the first time, so they&#39;re able to reap dividends from its reuse as needed.  The new blaster and holster fit really nicely, and it&#39;s quite amazing how so many of the color breaks on the mold just happen to fit the mold breaks on the plastic figure. I wonder if it was planned accordingly when they were redesigning IG-11 for the show?&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It&#39;s funny to me that Mando himself keeps changing his outfit, but it&#39;s largely the same after the end of the first season. Sure, he swaps out parts, but still looks effectively the same.   IG-11 has had several looks - his first appearance, partially exploded, a statue, a T-800 skeleton trying to kill Grogu, a mobility device for Grogu, and now this new version with new colors - and they all look surprisingly different. How toyetic!  I am a little burned out on all of Hasbro&#39;s trooper variants, but for some (admittedly hypocritical) reason I&#39;m still interested in deco changes on droids, or Han&#39;s jackets, or stuff like that.   I would recommend checking this one out if you&#39;re a fan of the TV show.  I would also recommend re-watching season 3 of &lt;i&gt;The Mandalorian&lt;/i&gt;, because I found it held up nicely on a rewatch last year.   I have no idea if he&#39;ll appear on the movie, but I&#39;m not currently betting on it.  I am, however, expecting Boba Fett might have a cameo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

This &lt;b&gt;Imperial Droid&lt;/b&gt; would probably better known as a Probot or Imperial Probe Droid by most fans, but hey, that&#39;s what the box says.  The main figure mold is the &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2022/11/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2980-viper.html&quot;&gt;Viper Probe Droid  [FOTD #2,980]&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;i&gt;Obi-Wan Kenobi&lt;/i&gt;, released in 2022.  I consider it to be a pretty good figure, and almost identical.  Disney tweaked the silver highlights on the droid in a few spots, but they&#39;re largely very similar.  It would seem the silver paint is much brighter, and the red is a little brighter, but otherwise?  It&#39;s more or less the same figure.  If you have one, you may not need the other.   And I use the word &quot;may&quot; because the &lt;i&gt;Kenobi&lt;/i&gt; Probe came with 3 other droid figures, and this &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; Probe comes with what effectively amounts to the first all-new &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; vehicle mold in over 15 years and the first all-new classic trilogy ship since - someone correct me if I forgot something - the Sail Barge.  Yes, we really haven&#39;t had many new original trilogy-era vehicles from Hasbro in quite some time.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHy8YHPmIc3vUO8kB_b507wbZzha0KMGSYvb1lmYclBYiU5qefQ36g8Gk95L0czRN6VPR11qnUsw7EbpuvENNhCYcatcyRbUx2gnNaJUzBbRqK4AT30Y0HVN5OkjhE28JvO4Ph5QQd9m0nXduO9YQOw3nqZrXZa9cRnql417yeUOiPR90LJftiOr41i4/s1250/3344df-probot-esb-pod3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEHy8YHPmIc3vUO8kB_b507wbZzha0KMGSYvb1lmYclBYiU5qefQ36g8Gk95L0czRN6VPR11qnUsw7EbpuvENNhCYcatcyRbUx2gnNaJUzBbRqK4AT30Y0HVN5OkjhE28JvO4Ph5QQd9m0nXduO9YQOw3nqZrXZa9cRnql417yeUOiPR90LJftiOr41i4/w133-h200/3344df-probot-esb-pod3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Is the droid the right size?  It&#39;s hard to say - the measurements on Wookieepedia say 1.5-1.6 meters, which means about as tall as Leia, probably.  But where you you measure from?  The longest leg? Hover height?  Do you count the antenna?  It&#39;s hard to tell, and looking at behind-the-scenes photos frequently have the droid hovering, elevated on a stand, in front of other characters or actors making it difficult to get a straight comparison with a normal sized person.  Hasbro has made their Probe Droids bigger, and fans tend to react strongly to &quot;corrections&quot; even if they&#39;re correct.  Things like Han&#39;s jacket or Jabba&#39;s height seem obvious to some and beyond argument to others.   For the sake of brevity, let&#39;s say it&#39;s close enough for jazz.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Give or take inflation, let&#39;s say he&#39;d be about $15 today, making the &lt;b&gt;Probe-Mate Hyperspace Pod&lt;/b&gt; about $15 - an excellent price.  For me to consider something worth about $20, it needs to be roughly Speeder Bike size. And it is!  According to Wookieepedia, the hyperspace pod is about 3.4-3.5-meters long.  The toy is about 7-inches long.   Ballparking 3 3/4-inch scale figures as 1:18 scale, that means the pod is about the right size.  Functionally, it&#39;s a little tight. The droid fits inside with his display stand, but the interior panels nudge the antenna.  If the antenna could telescope, I&#39;d say it&#39;s perfect - but it&#39;s not. I do not recommend storing your droid in the pod.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

As a kid I could never make it out in the movie, as it was small and blurry.  Looking at Jazwares&#39; Micro Galaxy Squadron toy or Wookieepedia&#39;s image, it looks like it&#39;s closer to the latter.  Is it right or wrong?  Let&#39;s say it&#39;s good enough, as I don&#39;t have sufficient reference handy that I can recall.  The toy is a base, a lid, and 5 identical fold-down panels. It&#39;s incredibly efficient, and you can see Disney has effectively made a whole ship out of 3 fairly simple parts that can be assembled by hand with no screws or fasteners.  Is it cheap or brilliant?  I&#39;d say both.  The light paint on the panel is really all I need, and while weathering would be nice I can&#39;t argue with the price.  Even with the theme park mark-up, it&#39;s a decent ship and I don&#39;t know if a Hasbro equivalent would be under $50.    The plastic feels nice, and it has a nice hollow &quot;chonk&quot; sound to it that reminds me of Kenner&#39;s old mini-rigs.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrine6veoHbb86tZoihVKqP_KO4W4LVxWXmewFTCsQH2puWo38HVciKhK-OE2b2F7Qwx7er45tc7Ssy5jimKBbpCtwkvKWOCaE3Dm11E63DVv4XBcObgcAMgUCVHk1dX4G0qrOsiDmHN0yyRf4MLfhkWLcYDK9X6-cywgdw519v4Q_7SNo0UaxmyoaXSY/s1250/3344df-probot-esb-pod4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrine6veoHbb86tZoihVKqP_KO4W4LVxWXmewFTCsQH2puWo38HVciKhK-OE2b2F7Qwx7er45tc7Ssy5jimKBbpCtwkvKWOCaE3Dm11E63DVv4XBcObgcAMgUCVHk1dX4G0qrOsiDmHN0yyRf4MLfhkWLcYDK9X6-cywgdw519v4Q_7SNo0UaxmyoaXSY/w133-h200/3344df-probot-esb-pod4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Would Hasbro be held to a higher standard? Probably, because fans expect too damn much and Hasbro really wants to sell top-of-the-line stuff.  Disney seems to be going for more of a middle ground, and I&#39;m thrilled to have an all-new Hoth figure-scale toy for the first time in decades.  It&#39;s so rare to see anybody pull out a figure or especially a ship from the original trilogy that hasn&#39;t been done one or two (or 14) times, so I would say this was worth my while of calling in a favor so I could get it after missing the initial sale.   I&#39;m sure your model maker buddy could do a better job painting it, but for a theme park souvenir I couldn&#39;t ask for much more.  Given the typical 3 3/4-inch figure at a store is $20, $30 is fine for something like this and I hope Hasbro considers making some slightly compromised but cheaper toys in the future.  I don&#39;t need perfection - I just need something cool and fun.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; I got mine from Greg (hi Greg) who stopped by a Disney park to get me one in Spring 2026.    It sold out online almost immediately, so thanks much for the help there.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

He looked sort of like an armored black knight, he carried around Inquisitor lightsabers, and it seems he was made of gas.  Or will be made of gas.  As I write this, we just saw him on the cartoon &lt;i&gt;Maul: Shadow Lord&lt;/i&gt; as another more or less generic bad guy.   Since &lt;i&gt;Rebels&lt;/i&gt; ended, the Inquisitors don&#39;t seem to have a lot of motivation other than &quot;I am Marrok, and I like my job.&quot;  Like many characters, it seems team Lucasfilm just want to keep people wearing the same clothes for 20 years worth of story.  One thing we do know about him is that he seemingly exists after the Empire falls, while the rest of his peers seem to have been disposed of.   Maybe the interesting story is still coming, because there sure seems to be something going on beyond &quot;is menacing, wears black, and has a red lightsaber.&quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrBZnsbokx0EGAAeE4s3477mTVA3U5poIKeWXTTCZuSQbYcUs7iLGfZPv8H8bNS_qetzT_TnNEkJ7i8QUTdUlD0E1zOPaQ_IaiuQpDHSxg7xbpu5-an2fI4anS79SMCr7A8gmW2h9__ij8lNGcWPpyuIFWdX7-c-AVktlkjYsPU7w7Fv4-B3VakA1w5U/s1250/3343tvc-marrok4.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrBZnsbokx0EGAAeE4s3477mTVA3U5poIKeWXTTCZuSQbYcUs7iLGfZPv8H8bNS_qetzT_TnNEkJ7i8QUTdUlD0E1zOPaQ_IaiuQpDHSxg7xbpu5-an2fI4anS79SMCr7A8gmW2h9__ij8lNGcWPpyuIFWdX7-c-AVktlkjYsPU7w7Fv4-B3VakA1w5U/s320/3343tvc-marrok4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Weirdly, we got a Marrok from &lt;i&gt;Ahsoka&lt;/i&gt; in &lt;i&gt;Retro&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Black Series&lt;/i&gt;, but not &lt;i&gt;Vintage&lt;/i&gt; - so this is your stand-in.  The colors aren&#39;t identical as his live-action costume has a little more dirt or rust plus some color on the buttons, but other than that?  It&#39;s pretty much the same. Hasbro could probably repaint this for an &lt;i&gt;Ahsoka&lt;/i&gt; product in the next year, or whenever that show will air.     Articulation is standard for &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt;, with no extra flourishes in the shoulders. His rocker ankles made me realize the costume has pointy bits on his boots, plus he has armor hanging off his shoulders.  The helmet still looks cool, and it still looks like it was made by a particularly skilled blacksmith.  The cape is draped over his shoulder, and you can mount his hilt under it if you like.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRcJCP1U25H8NH3j6FwIKYlF5V_bTtnYjp-7iaHHdFy5a2-mgtM38MDq6xa3bLCl4Q4KuWlw9jHPQvoifoJ8XWkmt0oprnFYG-oI9kZrlQuy_-4_IotzxM4EFvrUYs4UM_H2Do7PCK6lI39y33sPQ5F6qPYDGcTOsoAmGVfhTGEE8e4hLSyEpcXfIbT4/s1250/3343tvc-marrok3.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRcJCP1U25H8NH3j6FwIKYlF5V_bTtnYjp-7iaHHdFy5a2-mgtM38MDq6xa3bLCl4Q4KuWlw9jHPQvoifoJ8XWkmt0oprnFYG-oI9kZrlQuy_-4_IotzxM4EFvrUYs4UM_H2Do7PCK6lI39y33sPQ5F6qPYDGcTOsoAmGVfhTGEE8e4hLSyEpcXfIbT4/s320/3343tvc-marrok3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2p99B96C8Pk0VJ7nPMEM6Ie4U9jqb2G50ROxE7f3M6MT7nQvy-sM6DGo4Fxxq4JfH1aTy2hidShY3M-sLzv0W-RONtyBpJWHFAxiFT-mpq5ynk7ZybJ9F7K9TcMFzSBWSgUracPllyT9ZrgA13H5eFSINAdbrb1siqhA5Hg8puAoq21aPmH7jKvtB7-Q/s1250/3343tvc-marrok5.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2p99B96C8Pk0VJ7nPMEM6Ie4U9jqb2G50ROxE7f3M6MT7nQvy-sM6DGo4Fxxq4JfH1aTy2hidShY3M-sLzv0W-RONtyBpJWHFAxiFT-mpq5ynk7ZybJ9F7K9TcMFzSBWSgUracPllyT9ZrgA13H5eFSINAdbrb1siqhA5Hg8puAoq21aPmH7jKvtB7-Q/w133-h200/3343tvc-marrok5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The sculpting is good, and the joints are well-integrated into the armor.   Hasbro is better and better at making the textures look different, so you&#39;ll notice the body suit sets itself off from the metal-looking armor.  All of the pieces fit together well, with lots of movement in the mid-torso joint and the hips swing forward fully. If they ever make an appropriate vehicle, this guy should be able to pilot it easily.  Sadly we&#39;re moving into the &quot;adult collectible&quot; phase (or &quot;endgame,&quot; probably) of the hobby where an increased emphasis on high-endedness will probably make this sort of thing unlikely.  It&#39;s a shame, this design is super cool and would be a lot of fun if it were treated more like a toy, what with the spinning double-bladed lightsaber on the show and everything.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I wouldn&#39;t not recommend this one.  If you see it in stores, give it a look.  It might go with the Shin Hati and Baylan Skoll figures you find at Ross.   Hasbro did a really nice job with it, but like so many figures we&#39;re in an era where people are no longer super fixated on the new thing for very long.  Or the old thing, because Disney is giving us so much new stuff that you might not ever be in a position to consider a rewatch of these fairly fun shows.  Is it worth $20?  Well, maybe.  The secondary market prices on &lt;i&gt;The Black Series&lt;/i&gt; Marrok are approaching $90 and &lt;i&gt;The Retro Collection&lt;/i&gt; is still holding SRP.  I assume this guy, barring overproduction on Hasbro&#39;s part, is something you&#39;ll want to pick up before it runs out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The design work is amazing, with weird backstories and some genuinely great nomenclature.  The sequels didn&#39;t top &lt;b&gt;Poggle the Lesser&lt;/b&gt;, a bizarrely-named, strange-voiced, uses-his-rival&#39;s-leg-as-a-walking-stick antagonist from &lt;i&gt;Attack of the Clones&lt;/i&gt;.  Maybe he&#39;d be more popular if Hasbro put out the figure in year one - we got our first basic figure in 2003 with a redeco in 2006.   That means he&#39;s been off the market for about 20 years - so this is a good time to try again, now with knees, elbows, wrists, and other added articulation.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieYzlHS5LWWi7t65sL0fIq354TTrubgFjOFj3kK-wO3UA1CiPyJB3d4C3jqhRlHiPw6GXAC9znTc9_ZCoOnwLvya49XArKoUez0FAahsv9UJFY5iRdkfRIemzDphdjLzDO3SSKVhP7bou9ALtjWc4AsQpCadcd5a-U6jOUCXW3bYbmzYbuEkrOLVPvZWM/s1250/3342tvc-poggle-the-lesser3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieYzlHS5LWWi7t65sL0fIq354TTrubgFjOFj3kK-wO3UA1CiPyJB3d4C3jqhRlHiPw6GXAC9znTc9_ZCoOnwLvya49XArKoUez0FAahsv9UJFY5iRdkfRIemzDphdjLzDO3SSKVhP7bou9ALtjWc4AsQpCadcd5a-U6jOUCXW3bYbmzYbuEkrOLVPvZWM/w133-h200/3342tvc-poggle-the-lesser3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The 2003/2006 sculpt was very good, being based on digital assets and having all the wrinkly skin and intricate armor detail you might want - but it was still painted like a toy of its era. This new one has a bigger budget, with more detailing of the leather-like stuff covering his lower waist, more mottling in his beard, livelier eyes, and many - but not all - of the gems now painted.  The turquoise bits were left unadorned, and the red gems seema  little too bright, but otherwise? They did a nice job.  The bug brooch looks good, the golden bangles are colored well, and the skin seems generally about as good as you can expect at this price point.  I&#39;m not sure if the vest color is quite right - but I&#39;m not going to knock it. There are a lot of paint apps here and Hasbro did a great job making him feel a little more finished.   Even the wings have a nice shimmer to them!&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The sculpt is mostly great.  The bug skin? Perfect. The clothing texture? Top-notch.  The only parts I&#39;m not fond of are the artistic decisions, which generally coincides with how I feel about most &quot;collector&quot; figures in general.  The figure seems to have perfectly replicated a basic pose of a digital model. That&#39;s good, right?  Mostly, yes.  The problem is that it missed some key details or quirks that make the figure seem alive.  If you look at the digital model from the movies, you&#39;ll notice the bangles around his wrists are sort of a cluttered, messy, jangly thing.  The figure is tight and orderly.  The figure stands upright with his head held high, and excellent posture.  The movie character was something of a hunchback, with his Wookieepedia portrait tilting his head in a way the figure just can&#39;t do.   They nailed the details, but this goes to show you that even a super-articulated figure needs work on its pose in order to give it the right personality.  It&#39;s not bad.  It&#39;s no worse than what we had before.  But if Hasbro does Version 3.0 some day, I would recommend making him a little slouchier, a little messier, and generally more alive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSFhPeY_usLl0j81bCf_nxBgwcKjbXGKnGsec9fNZUY_xMKconCxGoI9ncdc-dg7aiM_xjK64aGTXc5cZPxv5ZM9yAJuYMFDApPrAKXGd5J7AnK1-g67pizTY8lj0GUTu_UwqI2G_o8V3tieUJ_jyAwzMvbTcFV1RE70MM-oYZ49-JCfm7bxgLBK9msI/s1250/3342tvc-poggle-the-lesser4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRSFhPeY_usLl0j81bCf_nxBgwcKjbXGKnGsec9fNZUY_xMKconCxGoI9ncdc-dg7aiM_xjK64aGTXc5cZPxv5ZM9yAJuYMFDApPrAKXGd5J7AnK1-g67pizTY8lj0GUTu_UwqI2G_o8V3tieUJ_jyAwzMvbTcFV1RE70MM-oYZ49-JCfm7bxgLBK9msI/w133-h200/3342tvc-poggle-the-lesser4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;His one accessory is a cane, and it&#39;s also about as good as the last one.  The movie model has some gold on the top, and a few cracks, and some weathering.  This one is mostly clean except for some gold adornments.    The sculpt is good, but it&#39;s a little too nice and clean.  If this were still a $17 figure I&#39;d have little reason to complain, but as we&#39;re at $20 and probably not that far off from $23, I want either a perfect figure or a cheap figure.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Articulation is very good, with the shoulders inset in his torso nicely. The hands move well, the feet rock a bit, and he has the knees, thighs, hips, and any other joints you might want.  Thin-legged figures with unusual poses can dip and fall over with time, so the articulation is very welcome here as a correcting mechanism to the aging process.  I suspect Poggle figures will slowly lurch forward over the years, so at least you can to in there and move the ankles and knees a bit rather than warp a single-piece leg.  He&#39;s not going to sit in any vehicles, or probably at any war room tables, but at least he can stand as the manufacturer intended.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Hasbro did a great job on the craft, but I would like to see a slouchier, nervier pose if we ever see him again.  Poggle the Lesser is an awesomely weird alien out of the George Lucas catalog, but he&#39;s not a being who you would say holds his head high.  I think the final deco details - even with the missing turquoise - are a good choice as it looks more like he would on a red-tinted Geonosis or Mustafar.  This is probably the very best Poggle the Lesser collectible of any kind you can buy today, and it&#39;s certainly one that&#39;s loaded with personality, jointed wings, and precious metals galore.  If you have that 2002 Geonosis Arena playset, he&#39;d love to hang out there.  I assume I will not see a higher-grade 3 3/4-inch version of this figure, so I can recommend this one as the best figure you&#39;ll probably ever get.  The amount of fine detailing here is impressive, and I imagine followed a style guide to the letter.  Companies just need to start making messier figures that love drama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I have no snark for &lt;b&gt;DD-BD&lt;/b&gt;, a brand-new admintech droid, from a brand-new mold, that doesn&#39;t look like anything else we&#39;ve bought.  Sure, the feet are not unlike a Power Droid, and yes, his design seems not unlike an Astromech.   The figure stands about 3-inches tall, is cast mostly in white, and has silver, grey, and red painted elements.  Is it as filthy as the photo or the movie design?  No, they left off the grime but did keep a little weathering.  It&#39;s very good.&lt;p&gt;

I have no doubt fans will gripe that DD-BD has but only 3 points of articulation.  The dome, and both legs, are capable of movement.  And that&#39;s it.   The dome swivels, and each leg can swing forward and backward.  You can pop the dome off, but it doesn&#39;t swap particularly well with R2-units.  Functionally, it&#39;s on par with anything you could&#39;ve expected from the 1978-1998 Kenner reign with better sculpting and deco.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Under the dome are a bunch of silver greeblies - nothing special here, nothing bad either.  Outside, you have perfect rectangular red panels.  Cables are painted silver or in a gunmetal gray. There is a very, very, very subtle amount of gray &quot;weathering&quot; around some of the panels that&#39;s hard to see in normal ambient lighting.  The painted bolts and projectors look great, and the silver cap on his head has a hole in it for hats.  I just put the rabbit ears on top, and they fit well.  &lt;i&gt;Glorious.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

On the day this came in the mail, I overheard a fan in a collector shop railing against &quot;bad figures&quot; that don&#39;t have ankle joints. That just rankles me to no end.  When it comes to troopers, or acrobatic heroes?  I want a lot of articulation.  When it comes to droids, or aliens that stand in one place or sit on a barstool?  Just charge me a fair price for the quality of figure that was manufactured.  I won&#39;t argue that $19.99 (plus $10 shipping, plus tax) is an eye-wateringly high price to pay for this figure.  But, it&#39;s also new, and interesting, and unlike anything else I&#39;ve bought from Hasbro, Kenner, or Disney over the past nearly five decades.   If I&#39;m going to pay a premium for something, it&#39;s going to be this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I have a lot of great figures that make me happy, and this build-a-TC-332 program is about 50% &quot;cool&quot; and 50% &quot;UGH.&quot;  I don&#39;t need another pink droid, or B2-EMO, or R5-K6.  But I&#39;m happy to buy CU-28, DD-BD, and soon R4-6D0.  (BDX set, jury&#39;s still out.)   If Disney - and hopefully Hasbro - are willing to innovate and bring us new things... REAL new things, not just &quot;this guy you have, with ankles&quot; I hope they continue to be rewarded with quick sell-throughs and hopefully reruns.   Even if you have an axe to grind with the Disney era, you can&#39;t deny the creature and droid work in the current era of TV and movies hasn&#39;t been good.  We used to rely on toys and guide books and trading cards to show off this amazing craftsmanship, but Disney seems to be tightening the reigns there.  Thank goodness we got this guy, and I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if this winds up being my favorite figure of 2026.  Not that Chalmun or Arleil Schous won&#39;t be good, but it&#39;s superbly rare that we get a completely new body type in this line - and the Wookiee uses Chewbacca parts, and Arleil stole Jod Na Nawood&#39;s pants.  If you have the means, and you love droids, go get DD-BD and then tell Hasbro you also want more figures like this, too, lest Disney steal their lunch money.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; I got mine from &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.disneystore.com/dd-bd-droid-factory-figure-build-a-droid-series-star-wars-418140526722.html&quot;&gt;Shop Disney&lt;/a&gt;.  It sold out online within 90 minutes, so check theme parks for availability.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;

We&#39;ve seen this mold reused for numerous movie troopers, video game troopers, TV troopers, and I would like to think that Hasbro would splurge for some retooling to make it perfect.  Well, no dice.  It&#39;s still very good, and for a standing-around figure it&#39;ll do.  At $67.99 for four, though, you won&#39;t feel like you&#39;re getting a good deal anymore.&lt;p&gt;

I think these are wasted on being exclusives on a web site - ramshackle, mismatched troopers are the kind of thing you want to see in a store, on a card, with minor changes so you can buy a new one whenever you see one.  Each one in the set has at least one distinctive armor element, so we&#39;ll look at them all in depth starting with this shoretrooper leg guy.  He scrounged a brown bit of armor from the &lt;i&gt;Rogue One&lt;/i&gt; era of trooper molds, while the rest of the figure stays more or less the same mold as previous releases.   This is the best Hasbro 3 3/4-inch Stormtrooper mold you can get right now, and as far as I can tell, will continue to be for a while.  It has the old, annoying hip joints (rather than the ball-and-socket ones) so you have to kind of dig in there to get it to pose or move.  Everything else is more or less modern, with rocker ankles and bend-and-swivel wrists.  The shoulders have a very good range of motion, and I was able to finagle a &quot;walking/aiming&quot; pose out of this guy without the use of a display stand.  It&#39;s still a versatile mold, but it could be better.  Other than including a holster, the figure&#39;s look is as good as we&#39;re going to get for a while - I&#39;d just like to see better joints.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The dirt deco isn&#39;t just off-white, it feels like it went through some grime and the trooper didn&#39;t spend a lot of time polishing it.  Clearly, the Imperial Remnant has never heard that you can wipe dirt off hard, smooth services and water spots on your faucets quite handily with used dryer softener sheets. (Thanks for the tip, Bobbi.)  The fine detailing on the helmet is good, with black outlines that help the mouth pop. Maybe we&#39;ll see finer detailing someday, but at this size?  Their heads are as good as we&#39;ve ever seen, and the extra paint makes them feel so real I want to buy another set of these.   The belt, the belly, each part pops nicely - but weirdly, that brown shin armor is pretty clean.   This trooper also has a flourish on his shoulder, as you can see a little band there. I&#39;m not sure if it&#39;s a mark of a prosthetic or just a scrounged droid part.  Maybe we&#39;ll find out in the movie!&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

You can assign/lose as you see fit.  I  have this guy one regular blaster, and it lacks the silver paint mark or the scope we saw on some other variations.  He looks great holding it, and the multi-jointed neck allows the figure to tilt his gaze down the scope.  It&#39;s really nice.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

They&#39;re gorgeous figures, and you&#39;d probably pay a customizer more to dirty up your plain troopers at home. They&#39;re better than the previous Remnant dirty repaints by a fair margin, and the added new bits on 3 of the 4 figures make it interesting.  I would not pout if Hasbro released these carded to big box stores if only to meet what I assume is a lot of quiet demand.  People are going to want to buy these one or two at a time, and I assume they&#39;re less of an impulse buy at $68.  Get these if you have the inclination, they&#39;re gorgeous and I love the specialized armor bits here.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Arcade Display Luke Skywalker&lt;/b&gt; is part of a series with &lt;i&gt;Ninja Turtles&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Tron&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;X-Men&lt;/i&gt;, and other little arcade cabinets.  They are a little small for 3 3/4-inch figures, but line up with full-size Pop! Vinyl, Playmobil, 2 3/4-inch Glyos, and other slightly smaller-bodied figures.  I suppose if you imagine they&#39;re like the Arcade 1-Up scaled-down cabinets they&#39;ve been selling in Walmart, they could be 3 3/4-inch scale. They just need a riser.   The cabinet mold seems to be the same for all figures, with new deco.  The art doesn&#39;t match any real &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; game art, as it&#39;s a lot more subdued. The real deal from Atari was a brighter affair, and I assume there were art licensing issues. (Ask anyone who&#39;s ever licensed a Konami game about box art licensing!) &lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij163yqD1tsmAJl32bI23oWhoyTB53SAuzpmiDPSvOu-9hbKh9l_V0tncb3xj6AhMdfF6Iiynxg5sF2T8bmAc4mYql7DKYUwsHFMrw7lHTxSdBKQsU3cGbSranjpxDw1dDIfIJgs_3skEXOYgZ69yM2XLoSRXjA2_ECvq6FDs0OBh3ISdWLcxgl5h0gMA/s1250/3339bittypoparcade-luke8.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij163yqD1tsmAJl32bI23oWhoyTB53SAuzpmiDPSvOu-9hbKh9l_V0tncb3xj6AhMdfF6Iiynxg5sF2T8bmAc4mYql7DKYUwsHFMrw7lHTxSdBKQsU3cGbSranjpxDw1dDIfIJgs_3skEXOYgZ69yM2XLoSRXjA2_ECvq6FDs0OBh3ISdWLcxgl5h0gMA/w133-h200/3339bittypoparcade-luke8.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;For arcade cabinet collectors, it looks more or less normal with coin slots and convex Suzo-Happ style buttons.  I don&#39;t recognize the stick - it&#39;s not like most American bat-top sticks, or most Japanese ball-top sticks.  It&#39;s a mushroom, and I don&#39;t think that&#39;s a thing on coin-op machines.  If nothing else, nobody can sue them for patent infringement.  I would have gone with a red stick top and red buttons, but hey, I&#39;m not on the Funko payroll. Maybe there&#39;s significance here.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMlUfOgO7xYgNU5IbuNmja0XBhT2DUN806OPOUAiTylnlW-hz0Wl6l9rAr-cZJtYWmATCx4sNCtLo2ujSEeba9AMMnI2f9gu4k588Wg2UrZF2PiSLV0JvV2pHgFsCFx824uTIPTVyOQrZcVWPnBLzaLWHXWHxxAxmiGjzyVv9ysnLfOVCKKYQdofKRBo/s1250/3339bittypoparcade-luke9.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMlUfOgO7xYgNU5IbuNmja0XBhT2DUN806OPOUAiTylnlW-hz0Wl6l9rAr-cZJtYWmATCx4sNCtLo2ujSEeba9AMMnI2f9gu4k588Wg2UrZF2PiSLV0JvV2pHgFsCFx824uTIPTVyOQrZcVWPnBLzaLWHXWHxxAxmiGjzyVv9ysnLfOVCKKYQdofKRBo/w133-h200/3339bittypoparcade-luke9.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The figure itself is pretty interesting.  Luke stands about an inch high, and has blocks of paint to represent pixels.  It&#39;s more cutesy than accurate, but fans&#39; eyesight might appreciate the exaggerated cheeks and the square pixels over the round, very-not-8-bit eyes.  The errant darker blue pixel on the lightsaber made me smile.  Luke has no articulation to speak of, but he does have a tiny black plastic box in addition to the cabinet.  If you want to store him in an itty bitty Funko box, you can do that.  You can also swap in other Bitty figures in the cabinet.&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3swiAIqtr32uB3vH6Ylevw7_eLuTRJdecIjjy2rJ1JT8QUtv64hyvMGMjlbM3wJUUIlFjoss1STim467fAIwywFtJI5Aryc47h_ayKd91-0imFk0Hs7gBd_bLFfXvPANVmJGVg3X3yl9pTuR7mJtZjD4Fk1VDUD60W_Sb7UkXZKAS9pjeskKLOePwvg/s1250/3339bittypoparcade-luke2.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3swiAIqtr32uB3vH6Ylevw7_eLuTRJdecIjjy2rJ1JT8QUtv64hyvMGMjlbM3wJUUIlFjoss1STim467fAIwywFtJI5Aryc47h_ayKd91-0imFk0Hs7gBd_bLFfXvPANVmJGVg3X3yl9pTuR7mJtZjD4Fk1VDUD60W_Sb7UkXZKAS9pjeskKLOePwvg/w133-h200/3339bittypoparcade-luke2.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I mostly write about figures from the perspective of someone who has been buying this stuff for decades, who has many figures, and gripes when a new scale comes out.  This item grabbed me because it was something else - it appeals to my interest in video games, pixel things, and tiny replicas of video game stuff.  For eight bucks, the value proposition was pretty good and I&#39;d recommend checking these out as diorama elements or as collectibles unto themeselves.  It&#39;s not amazing, it has no real articulation, and it will not change your life.  But it&#39;s &lt;i&gt;cool&lt;/i&gt;, and I got into toys because I was a kid and I like fun things that make me happy.  This one works.  Order one online, or check the Funko section of big red big box store.  It might not be for you, but it spoke to me and it&#39;s under eight bucks.  I&#39;m willing to try something new if it&#39;s not priced to drain my wallet, so I appreciate what Funko did here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Not because it&#39;s bad - but because I wasn&#39;t disappointed in what I have at home. This &lt;b&gt;Airborne Clone Trooper (212th Battalion)&lt;/b&gt; is a newer, skinnier, debatably improved version of a &lt;i&gt;30th Anniversary Collection&lt;/i&gt; figure from 2007.  The 2007 one had vibrant orange coloring, a removable helmet, battle damage, and even a hidden blaster inside his pouch.  It even had a coin, and it was $6.99 (about $11 adjusted for inflation.)  Even at the time, that was a really good price.  This figure stands well, physically and on its own merits.  Having said that, the 2007 one was so good, you might not feel compelled to upgrade. I would not argue if you felt that way.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFrICoKqBHJbW_TdwJXwxnFwu7nWluGh47o8UiaZRoV-5hzifvOALpVUkQs_ijY27BtJpPEbY7h_eYQoqfArabSoV38Oq6S1pKCJ4KjsrZJgSqaBzFwRu4gkvwZjuWNBdlWueUz0eRQZg3seFajacC5rmglxkFpHmVXBtT4RxEReG5V2MN6imMuuECN8/s1250/3338tvc-walmart-212th-airborne-clone-rots3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFrICoKqBHJbW_TdwJXwxnFwu7nWluGh47o8UiaZRoV-5hzifvOALpVUkQs_ijY27BtJpPEbY7h_eYQoqfArabSoV38Oq6S1pKCJ4KjsrZJgSqaBzFwRu4gkvwZjuWNBdlWueUz0eRQZg3seFajacC5rmglxkFpHmVXBtT4RxEReG5V2MN6imMuuECN8/w133-h200/3338tvc-walmart-212th-airborne-clone-rots3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This new figure was about $20 (in a 2-pack that cost $40).  It has no removable helmet, two blasters (one is different), and no battle damage.  The new ankles rock better, the helmet pivots better and is a bit more appropriately sized, the waist joint is better, and the wrists move well.   The elbow cuts? They&#39;re better too.  It&#39;s much easier to pose this new version, but what&#39;s kind of vexing is the part count isn&#39;t that much different from the original, much cheaper toy.  I prefer the new cloth kama piece to the plastic original, though, so there&#39;s that.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The white is a little duller, and the orange is a little paler this time.  All the rank markings are where they were last time, though, but the color drift over 20 years means your 212th attack battalion figures likely won&#39;t all match any more.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

With a coin.  That 2007 figure costs about the same as this new one, and if you ask me which one you should buy? It&#39;s a hard choice. I like the coin a lot from 2007, but I think most fans will prefer the soft goods kama and improved range of articulation on the otherwise very similar joints.  For 18 years, it doesn&#39;t feel like the massive leaps we saw from 1978 to 1998, or even 2002 to 2007.  We do see some massive leaps forward with some of our human likenesses and every all-new, never-before-made figure tends to look amazing.  It&#39;s just when we already have one at home (or in a storage unit) it can be tough to really hold up a higher-priced remake as a beacon of awesomeness, even if it is very nicely executed.   If Hasbro included the battle damage, a removable helmet, and a pouch blaster, I&#39;d say this would be clearly a superior figure... but as it stands, I&#39;m having more fun with the &lt;i&gt;30th Anniversary Collection&lt;/i&gt; incarnation. It&#39;s a better toy, this is a better figure adults can use to try to impress each other.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I got mine online, but I was surprised to see this in multiple stores.  I was less surprised to see this set ripped open with the Clone stolen.  Arizona gonna Arizona.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 and if your reaction is &quot;Oh, the scientific symbol for Copper and its 
number on the Periodic Table of Elements!&quot; or &quot;more like see you next 
Tuesday am I right?&quot;   (Kids, don&#39;t ask your parents.)  CU-28 is a

 figure four-pack. That figure was in a set with four figures for $45. 
This one figure costs $20, and after shipping and tax is about $33.  
That&#39;s inflation for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

 the prop costume has a couple of raised dots on the chest, the figure 
is smooth - and otherwise pretty accurate.  This is one I&#39;ll call &quot;good 
enough!&quot;  I don&#39;t assume Hasbro will give us one, given their allergy to
 droids and aliens, so you can take it from me that this is the best one
 we&#39;ll likely ever get.  The copper-colored paint doesn&#39;t justify the 
higher price, but it pads it a bit. The figure was molded in copper 
plastic, but this finish makes it look a lot better.  It&#39;s not 
vac-metal, but again, it&#39;s about as good as we&#39;re going to get.  The 
green eyes match the show, and the finish is about as good as anything 
else we&#39;ve got on a recent &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; figure.  The wires on the 
belly look pretty good, too.   Unlike GS-C1B, there aren&#39;t a lot of 
other highlights on his chassis - it&#39;s just a clean penny,  it always 
comes back to you. Don&#39;t curse him for his nature, don&#39;t bless him for 
his wrongs.&lt;p&gt;

 a figure whose parts most likely date back to the 2009-era 
build-a-droid with modifications, it&#39;s pretty good. It&#39;s also absurd how
 many very old molds are still in development (with no price cuts) after
 all this time.   Currently, the secondary market prices for a single 
CU-28 are silly - $50 or more.  I don&#39;t think it&#39;s worth it, but some 
people sell bundles/lots of 2 or more droids averaging $30 each. That, I
 would say, is fair/what I had to pay.  It&#39;s not a bargain. It&#39;s not &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt;.
  But it&#39;s as good as you&#39;re going to get for a bright, distinctive 
robot action figure that I am actually not complaining about owning. 
Nothing is more exciting than a new character, or a distinctive new 
costume.*  Get this one if you can.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

* - ...except Kenner-style Retro figures. Those are the best.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Is it good and accurate? Yes. It has a new helmet sculpt, revised deco, and two blasters. That&#39;s good!   But, it does get a little boring when in under six months you get a single Snowtrooper, a 4-pack, a commanding officer (twice), an AT-RT driver, and this guy all sharing a lot of the same parts.  It makes the line feel a little less varied, even if all the figures are actually pretty good.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYSaJw3ZLt76eFHHH9w_WqiuDcPS8TDoDkEnBHMRqrf3SDGiXxXcO4qYc129IvwWSpoYUncJw1PUQsnG-tKmnqzKLH6MwAxuMv0UwLpbrg3nCr8h6XAweuUaz1qp5Jvo9XO2tV21ln9R3kgZ_ZOoJtjqPWUuuWJ37yjPYv6A5Q1lAOveVTr4aFwPd-90/s1250/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper3.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifYSaJw3ZLt76eFHHH9w_WqiuDcPS8TDoDkEnBHMRqrf3SDGiXxXcO4qYc129IvwWSpoYUncJw1PUQsnG-tKmnqzKLH6MwAxuMv0UwLpbrg3nCr8h6XAweuUaz1qp5Jvo9XO2tV21ln9R3kgZ_ZOoJtjqPWUuuWJ37yjPYv6A5Q1lAOveVTr4aFwPd-90/w133-h200/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;What&#39;s good? The sculpting and accessories, for one.  Hasbro opted to include the Disney-era blaster revisions, which means it has that extra greeblie on the barrel.  I can&#39;t see it on the cardback photo - but hey, whatever, it looks fine.   The long blaster seems to be the same as the one from last year, but in a lighter gray plastic.  Again, it&#39;s a nice accessory.  His backpack has been redecorated, changing up some of the silver and adding a red stripe over the top.  It&#39;s not a huge change, but it&#39;s nice that Hasbro took the time to make any revisions at all.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSbMM0hzgIstHGebR2GheLPtW8XeWpfXvXJREemmD2vWroh12XXVcaIRcgQg9v-3PZNtDxlgHQMss8BizT9-GJK5T0zUsKzDFMV0DtnKtRNcJGAxLCOrn00Nuj2wZ58G0WC46VXdE-mm0ev8ePnxABB8TrR0b7XUs7sqEBpPswb8vs_KsG6-l_gQyS48/s1250/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper4.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTSbMM0hzgIstHGebR2GheLPtW8XeWpfXvXJREemmD2vWroh12XXVcaIRcgQg9v-3PZNtDxlgHQMss8BizT9-GJK5T0zUsKzDFMV0DtnKtRNcJGAxLCOrn00Nuj2wZ58G0WC46VXdE-mm0ev8ePnxABB8TrR0b7XUs7sqEBpPswb8vs_KsG6-l_gQyS48/w133-h200/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The sculpt is still really good, with an excellent range of movement on the armor.  Hasbro is getting its investment out of this guy, with the requisite articulation expected from this line these days.  He can hold a blaster with two hands. The shoulder armor does&#39;t get in the way of swinging his arms forward.  He has rocker ankles.  Nothing here comes up short, with shiny plastic armor over a faux cloth plastic body suit.  The subtle texture over the thighs is particularly impressive.  The silver painted elements and red lights are all very small, and very cleanly painted.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Where the deco comes up short is, unsurprisingly, weathering. I assume this was a cost-cutting initiative. I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if this figure was developed at a $16.99 price point, but after the price increases last year, Hasbro couldn&#39;t pivot to add weathering.  At least you can add it yourself if you want.    The blaster also lacks the silver highlights shown on the cardback photo, which Hasbro sometimes chooses to include.   Otherwise, deco is great.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdfGfsgXBF2lyx4r4MbucfThx7opJffqhgvWiiV9-jllAKXWJP_nNPJ8EPYtgK_4njCD_H275RMrVRG5z8QprFDy9uAp5YwL8DbaRWYbYksjcs45J66UATqQVEnoMxfylTsaj7xAOtlkKHr8aueFBZK7dktnEF-XQpu44gFSpiR3zPtkoFz82v8Dtqqs/s1250/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper5.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHdfGfsgXBF2lyx4r4MbucfThx7opJffqhgvWiiV9-jllAKXWJP_nNPJ8EPYtgK_4njCD_H275RMrVRG5z8QprFDy9uAp5YwL8DbaRWYbYksjcs45J66UATqQVEnoMxfylTsaj7xAOtlkKHr8aueFBZK7dktnEF-XQpu44gFSpiR3zPtkoFz82v8Dtqqs/w133-h200/3336tvc-remnant-snowtrooper5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I like the new helmet.  I&#39;m still trying to figure out what I&#39;m looking at.  I assume it&#39;s either a new mask, or just the old mask with the face ripped off because the Empire&#39;s budget can no longer afford shower curtains for the lower jaw.  It would make sense if, canonically, this is how they looked in &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; if you ripped their faces off.   A prop replica of the old mask just stopped under the nose, so as far as I know the original costumes didn&#39;t include these.  Similar facial nozzles and circles were in the concept art Snowtroopers, though, so it makes sense they&#39;re here today.  The plastic is nice and shiny, and his coloring matches the still.  Hopefully Hasbro keeps shipping them so we can get more, but who are we kidding - Hasbro stopped carrying &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt; forward, and I think that&#39;s a mistake on their part. Some figures need more than one shot at retail.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I don&#39;t find this figure &lt;i&gt;exciting&lt;/i&gt; because I was pretty Snowtroopered out last year.  It is a good figure, though - it&#39;s great to see post-Death Star troopers and whatever evolution (or devolution) comes as as result. Hasbro did a good job capturing the movie line and I have to wonder if they made the Imperial Snowtrooper in 2025 with this guy in mind.  Most of the new movie figures seem to make use of existing assets, so I could see it going either way.   If you&#39;re still buying &quot;new show&quot; or &quot;new movie&quot; stuff, I&#39;d recommend giving this guy a look.  It&#39;s not like you couldn&#39;t use another Snowtrooper, and I don&#39;t have any real reason to hate on it.  I wouldn&#39;t mind seeing it ship again, but I also don&#39;t think I want to see any more Snowtrooper-based figures taking away any &quot;new figure&quot; slots for a while. I&#39;m good, this is good, we&#39;re all good here. Thank you. How are you?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

They&#39;re bad guys, they have silly similar outfits, they&#39;re just super-evil Jedi hunters and some have costumes you&#39;ll either love or hate.  I think any of these would be utterly awesome if you were a kid, or if it was part of the late-1980s Expanded Universe of RPGs and comics.  We haven&#39;t seen the &lt;b&gt;Eleventh Brother&lt;/b&gt; do much outside the short-shorts from Disney+, and none of these warriors get a whole heck of a lot of personality.  Maybe he will when he shows up on the next cartoon - but we already know he dies in a duel with Ahsoka Tano, so we know he&#39;s going to survive.  And so will Maul.&lt;p&gt;

And this is pretty good.   He&#39;s a little bit taller, and Hasbro actually puts some of that budget to good use with longer legs and a nice tall hood.  The claw-like fingers are great, and something we don&#39;t see very much. He can hold his lightsaber well, and you can mount the hilt on his hip in a nicely-hidden hole on the left side.   The droid-like elbows do a nice job of masking articulation, of which there is plenty. The waist joint rocks well, as do the ankles.  The hips swing forward and the soft plastic skirt piece doesn&#39;t get in the way.  The head moves as well as you&#39;d expect a crow-masked hood to move, with little red, white, and silver painted bits that recall Darth Vader a bit.  It&#39;s nice.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It also reminds me a bit of the mythosaur skull.  The white paint isn&#39;t super clean, but I kind of like it.  It&#39;s cleaner than the render, with red eyes and it&#39;s bright enough that you don&#39;t need to squint to see it. It&#39;s a neat bad guy, even if - as of now - the character isn&#39;t terribly meaningful. And that might change in a few weeks.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6N0r0Kzd62JOWk8kB8-93BmeuzYnA0yOtNeEtgAI9w99a5h_6q6pWcgMQUjOD6xLZlpid0VcHlH_MdZ08iLs9XYnmSRElBYmckJB1d8gs75LvUoUx1Nkc8KZ6wZPTDCvjsj5UQn_8GfmGM9KXWyV20TOv4CB43FDtePJ9xiL9RSJNZ1m7NuUGxo2OY_g/s1250/3335tvc_eleventh_brother_crow3.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6N0r0Kzd62JOWk8kB8-93BmeuzYnA0yOtNeEtgAI9w99a5h_6q6pWcgMQUjOD6xLZlpid0VcHlH_MdZ08iLs9XYnmSRElBYmckJB1d8gs75LvUoUx1Nkc8KZ6wZPTDCvjsj5UQn_8GfmGM9KXWyV20TOv4CB43FDtePJ9xiL9RSJNZ1m7NuUGxo2OY_g/w133-h200/3335tvc_eleventh_brother_crow3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Rounding out the figure is a big cape. It gives the figure an impressive silhouette, plus has better than average stitching and Imperial cogs on each shoulder.    A lot of the Jedi robes we get are adequate, and usually the hoods are sewn on oddly or don&#39;t necessarily hang perfectly.  By giving this guy a plastic hood, the cape is free to hang and look its best.  It drapes over the shoulders well, and that extra stitching along the sides gives it a little more visual weight.  This one feels like it had a little extra time in the oven, and the results are better than we&#39;ve had on a lot of other recent releases.  Everything seems to fit where it belongs, and nothing seems particularly shorted.  Given the materials at hand, and the size, this is a good one.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

With thousands of figures spanning about a dozen movies and hundreds of TV episodes, and comics, and games, and novels, it&#39;s increasingly hard to point to a figure and say &quot;this is the best thing ever and you must buy it.&quot;  This is a great example of what Hasbro can do right now, and each piece fits together well.  I have no idea if the show will be a favorite or not yet, but it&#39;s a weird (presumably) alien character and we don&#39;t get enough of those.   If it ever goes on sale, I&#39;d recommend trying it.  Even if it doesn&#39;t, it&#39;s good. I don&#39;t think we&#39;ll get a better one, so pick this up if you have the inclination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

In recent years, behind-the-scenes prop shots make it look like &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; helmet is actually gray - but fans always saw it as white, in parts thanks to the merchandise bias.  Now leaked card photos show this guy (with his legs) and I can say it seems the colors and costume match pretty closely.  Maybe the movie body suit is lighter, but it&#39;s hard to tell given the lighting.   Let&#39;s say Hasbro nailed it, with a couple of caveats.&lt;p&gt;

In recent months I&#39;ve been wondering when Hasbro will finally do an all-new TIE Fighter pilot, as each one has been riffing on borrowed tooling for about 20 years. Sure, some have new parts, but none have had ankles yet, or really good sit-ability.  Here, we get a preview of what Hasbro could do.   Both of the AT-AT Driver&#39;s legs swing forward cleanly. The holster doesn&#39;t get in the way.  The knees bend perfectly, and he can sit without any fuss. The arms also have a great range of movement.  We can probably thank Disney&#39;s Lucasfilm design crew for getting rid of those straps that so often get in the way of leg movement, and I assume Hasbro is solely to credit for the armor designs that don&#39;t get in the way of shoulder movement.  Everything here is good.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It evolves the original costume design a bit, and I think the results are pretty great.  But does it come up short?  Only a little.  His helmet seems a little small for his body, but it still looks good.  The coloring is clean, and not dirty, which I&#39;m kind of disappointed by.  The Remnant is, for some reason, ideologically opposed to wiping down their armor.  Everything is filthy or damaged.  This guy is squeaky-clean, which is cheaper, and probably gives customizers more options.  Hasbro also painted on updated details like the cogs, the buttons, a nice panel on his back, and the mouth which now lacks the orange &quot;tooth&quot; in the middle.  As stated above, it feels a lot more like an evolution of Kenner&#39;s original figure than the original prop design.  I think it was the right choice.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Maybe not, but they&#39;re nice.  With a new Veers, these are a perfectly nice companion piece.  Heck, maybe Hasbro&#39;s working on a new AT-AT, or an alternate &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; driver figure.   I sure as heck don&#39;t know.  What I do know is this is a satisfactory figure, with great joints and deco, that hits the important marks.  I hope we get more figures from this movie, even if it is terrible, because the costume department seems to have put a lot of great work in.   If you see this one, give it a look - unless you&#39;re trooper&#39;d out, get one. Or two. (I got two.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

This is the second &lt;b&gt;QT-KT&lt;/b&gt; figure.  While the first built off the build-a-droid chassis, &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2016/11/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2313-qt-kt.html&quot;&gt;a QT-KT droid based on the &lt;i&gt;Vintage&lt;/i&gt; R2-D2 mold was one of my babies [FOTD #2,312]&lt;/a&gt; at work.   I would have much rather seen other members of D-Squad, preferably with the black and yellow caution markings.   This particular retake on QT-KT is different from the original, but not necessarily better.&lt;p&gt;

Deco is very similar, so whichever one you get should be satisfactory.   This 2025 Disney version adds a little extra silver paint around the ankles that Hasbro&#39;s (and the animation model) didn&#39;t havee, but also cleans up the silver paint around the vents in the middle of her body.   Hasbro&#39;s deco of the nozzle near the bottom of her body seems more accurate, but Hasbro left off the silver paint on the vents near her left foot.  Neither has the weathering seen on the cartoon, nor the flying drone from the top of her dome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Oq6bIvA6wTqxF339zbsd0AjSNLIs9TbQJY5zXV8pmQZOEpqhSbP5_CRp9MOZPXmeTWky6BIRaKzG7jnA5rmqSQU27yJvgqrFhtLH7E1P4upTyonenBpGgqOmouofZiBobiqYq7lfPZl-_PNgkcw0JzN4BCdX9JSmRKplwk8o9Z0oPDJGtrsDJc6fecs/s1250/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt4.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Oq6bIvA6wTqxF339zbsd0AjSNLIs9TbQJY5zXV8pmQZOEpqhSbP5_CRp9MOZPXmeTWky6BIRaKzG7jnA5rmqSQU27yJvgqrFhtLH7E1P4upTyonenBpGgqOmouofZiBobiqYq7lfPZl-_PNgkcw0JzN4BCdX9JSmRKplwk8o9Z0oPDJGtrsDJc6fecs/s320/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Another notable difference are her black and yellow dome markings.  Hasbro&#39;s seemed a little thicker and just felt more accurate when compared to real caution tape.  Disney&#39;s 2026 figure feels a little more haphazard, a little thin, and just not quite right when looking at the cartoon.  But, maybe you&#39;ll like it better.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMSoQT1wL-ZJ603Si6yLoJ_h4-tGkgei_Ltlu3GIbL6yI-thoHIHOPeEvDzCaE5BkPCKlLgq8vEhabFnoPBuIeFUNzVW9nezHPFEhTUwc9ZiD8yYQO9rcwxpEyF15Ll5ttVtOxM6eURLhJttnKy3611nyyQzwxfsKcC8MDc9B0Z98mrvYQu-v1DnsyEU/s1250/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt5.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRMSoQT1wL-ZJ603Si6yLoJ_h4-tGkgei_Ltlu3GIbL6yI-thoHIHOPeEvDzCaE5BkPCKlLgq8vEhabFnoPBuIeFUNzVW9nezHPFEhTUwc9ZiD8yYQO9rcwxpEyF15Ll5ttVtOxM6eURLhJttnKy3611nyyQzwxfsKcC8MDc9B0Z98mrvYQu-v1DnsyEU/s320/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In terms of features, I would say Hasbro&#39;s is better.  The retractable third leg is a plus, as is the sensorscope, and I can&#39;t knock the opening body panel with a pop-out arm.  All of that is great.  Disney&#39;s droid has a spare build-a-droid arm - which is good - but droid herself can only pop apart.  Disney&#39;s dome is also one of the loosest I&#39;ve ever had, and is incredibly easy to accidentally pop off.  Maybe that&#39;s a plus!  Some are very difficult to remove.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdfe320XJ_jVACQPbhezgYoz1qkp2BmiIlWIIfZydosX3NCxYHXJbi4d8dGa29oeR99D56qJXVoXfvgfhyphenhyphenBTJopdw8wBZ6LpCQ1ymunwVfGt6eyJqUXCba_zC-UwA_KiaPalPsTsuKExEJbBQMyVpcB0SNP_aljKmlV3SM9sFE4WCLOPNlOEa9d9rto0/s1250/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt3.JPG&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;833&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1250&quot; height=&quot;213&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvdfe320XJ_jVACQPbhezgYoz1qkp2BmiIlWIIfZydosX3NCxYHXJbi4d8dGa29oeR99D56qJXVoXfvgfhyphenhyphenBTJopdw8wBZ6LpCQ1ymunwVfGt6eyJqUXCba_zC-UwA_KiaPalPsTsuKExEJbBQMyVpcB0SNP_aljKmlV3SM9sFE4WCLOPNlOEa9d9rto0/s320/3333df-ktqt-kt-qt3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#39;m sure my age is showing, but there are a lot of figures where I would say I was pretty happy with what I had.  Disney&#39;s silver panels look perfectly nice when compared to Hasbro&#39;s flat gray ones, but neither feels particularly superior.  It is currently slightly cheaper to get the Hasbro model (out of packaging) thanks to the insta sell-out of Disney&#39;s figure, but that could change.   In 2026, these figures now cost a painful $19.99, plus about $10 shipping, plus tax.  In most jurisdictions, one droid will cost you $33 delivered.  That&#39;s a lot of money.  I don&#39;t feel she&#39;s worth that asking price, and I would say that this particular build-a-droid program is something of a drag for completists that may have many of these figures at home.   But if you just want a pink droid, and you can get this one for a decent price?  She&#39;s not bad.  She&#39;ll get the job done.  She&#39;s just not a complete improvement over the original.

Yes, it&#39;s very good.   This set is not one where you will use the term &quot;value.&quot;  The AT-RT is a small toy for the price.  Your pilot is what appears to be a kitbashed &lt;b&gt;Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver&lt;/b&gt;.   $68 is a lot for  a $20 figure and, if we&#39;re being generous, a $28-$35-ish vehicle with a truly exceptional-for-the-size paint job.  Hasbro probably started with a price point and gave fans the most premium experience possible while not passing any saving along to you.  To reiterate: it&#39;s &lt;i&gt;beautiful&lt;/i&gt;.  The paint job on the walker is as good as most HasLab ships.  But to pay for that level of subtle deco, Hasbro could probably drop about half of the paint and you&#39;d never miss it.  In the 1980s, you&#39;d probably get an unpainted walker with a couple stickers and say &quot;this is great!&quot;  That&#39;s where we&#39;re at now: the most expensive collectibles possible, without much of a push to grow the audience (assuming such a thing is still even a possibility.)&lt;p&gt;

I know we&#39;re never going back to the good old days of appealing to people who aren&#39;t in their 40s, but Hasbro may be better served to drop some of the vehicle deco.   Because let me tell you, this is some ridiculously fancy vehicle deco that you probably won&#39;t even notice.  Subtle gray splatter on the gray plastic feet will likely go unnoticed by many fans. Each of the three jointed leg segments have painted silver pistons or other greeblies, real metal rivets, and no gaps to fill. (Ask your &lt;i&gt;Transformers&lt;/i&gt; collecting friends about the phenomenon of fan-made unlicensed gap fillers.)  There are painted silver bits and Imperial cogs and multiple painted color switches on the controls. And a driver&#39;s screen.  And another screen.   You&#39;re probably getting double or triple the deco of a vehicle from 10-20 years ago.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ykYb0IOF1RKvR0Fj53Hteh-YCa0WpurUOAM1pjuq5oXYIvTOrl5CfhZ7rVhzJLX4oHHYkkNz0hyTJtkgvhNqAXUTFnDkXweKegDR7ctamjnRGCz6mJYbDLgbglvTImLgyCpO8py8osAK5XoeHazU9a-W_0fzSYLyiq-W-_A3J7gLjL-bpPkloK1NGfw/s1250/3332tvc-at-rt-remnant3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ykYb0IOF1RKvR0Fj53Hteh-YCa0WpurUOAM1pjuq5oXYIvTOrl5CfhZ7rVhzJLX4oHHYkkNz0hyTJtkgvhNqAXUTFnDkXweKegDR7ctamjnRGCz6mJYbDLgbglvTImLgyCpO8py8osAK5XoeHazU9a-W_0fzSYLyiq-W-_A3J7gLjL-bpPkloK1NGfw/w133-h200/3332tvc-at-rt-remnant3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

But how is that figure?   As far as I can tell, it&#39;s a mix of new and old sculpts.  The arms and legs are nearly identical to &lt;i&gt;The Vintage Collection&lt;/i&gt; Snowtrooper, with different paint.  Less paint, actually, there&#39;s not much dirt or anything... but they have the same great range of movement and provide a consistent look among the Imperial armed forces.  They are put in what appears to be a new torso with a new belt and waist coat, and a helmet that matches your Shoretroopers.   The arms don&#39;t feel like they&#39;re quite set properly in the torso, so I assume we&#39;re dealing with parts from two separate figures as the arms seem large and hang a little lower than all the other troopers on my desk.  Given the idea of the Imperial Remnant as an increasingly slapdash bunch of goofs barely hanging on to their armor polish, I guess I can carve out a reason for these guys to look like something is wrong with their uniforms.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIZd61UO_9b_zLe0MNLOeAgzr-mo2v-GnjP9H1kN8lXCnE9V3YRrpQgYosxBXKO938rNjHTsoDMB5UvUO83P_1c_cBECsYSpF-K50cpVuZxJpeGZ9iiR3MXarWJksx2G7TZRE6VXpYMxbXhZqTYhhePW5FlHMQ1uDYjrXJFDF347MJX343U2t9M8efoM/s1250/3332tvc-at-rt-remnant4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIZd61UO_9b_zLe0MNLOeAgzr-mo2v-GnjP9H1kN8lXCnE9V3YRrpQgYosxBXKO938rNjHTsoDMB5UvUO83P_1c_cBECsYSpF-K50cpVuZxJpeGZ9iiR3MXarWJksx2G7TZRE6VXpYMxbXhZqTYhhePW5FlHMQ1uDYjrXJFDF347MJX343U2t9M8efoM/w133-h200/3332tvc-at-rt-remnant4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;As a standing-around figure, he&#39;s not particularly striking - but he&#39;s a perfect pilot figure for the vehicle.  It&#39;s rare to get a figure who can sit in his seat, with the hands on the handlebars and the feet on the pedals.  But he can do it!  His waist coat is split in the back so he can sit more easily in the driver&#39;s seat.   I have got to wonder if the reason we got &lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt; vehicle and figure was a partially reused figure combined with a vehicle that - for all I know - could have been tooled up for &lt;i&gt;The Clone Wars&lt;/i&gt; or &lt;i&gt;The Bad Batch&lt;/i&gt; and went unreleased until now, with its Imperial livery.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It seems to do a good job supporting the vehicle, but my experience with other clear stands snapping have me wary.  Be careful with this one.  There&#39;s also a red blast effect that plugs in the barrels of the cannons, and also looks great.  These have been a relative rarity since being introduced in the line since 2002, so it&#39;s nice to see here where Hasbro had some budget to play with.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

If Hasbro were still playing with its old vehicle molds, we&#39;d probably see more things like this.  Back in the day, we got Imperial V-Wings and Darth Vader&#39;s Sith Starfighter.  Sure, they were easy repaints, but they were clever and told little pieces of story about time passing in the &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; galaxy.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

This is for old people with money, as future generations may recognize that it&#39;s about six or seven hours&#39; pay from a minimum wage job (if your state has a high minimum wage.)  I hesitate to call it an essential purchase given just how many versions of the AT-RT we&#39;ve had since &lt;i&gt;Revenge of the Sith&lt;/i&gt;, but here it is, it&#39;s as good as these get, and one or two nuts out there are probably going to build a snow diorama packed with them too.   I&#39;d recommend this item with reservations around $50-$55.  At $30, buy as many as you can find.   At $68, I&#39;ll buy one and then look over at my Cantina or Barge or &lt;i&gt;Ghost&lt;/i&gt; and feel much, much better about those purchases.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Bio:&lt;/b&gt; The capable General Veers led the Empire’s AT-AT pilots, who controlled massive four-footed assault vehicles in combat against Rebel targets.    (Taken from the single-figure packaging.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He had a removable hat, goggles, and armor.  There was also a very good &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2008/01/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-619-general.html&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Saga Collection&lt;/i&gt; General Veers [FOTD #619]&lt;/a&gt; in 2006, but given secondary market prices and improvements?  It&#39;s hard to beat this new one, even if he doesn&#39;t have removable armor.&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwJ36-thC0TxBxvFHyifW8weBmgPgiZ228TKzRP_oyAcSRVBLmPvHED2CSWmAizJ4WBtmfILpBljW1mb8xYEak8_WXddaWEO8oQPNSYlcBZnFxKrRjPYjLWsygon1ypZWcIR0HkiNMvpQs6ovjrBYbEco_1ttZcmULlcbjLbVKeWYKYSgMQMcEBNJZerE/s1250/3331tvc-veers2.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwJ36-thC0TxBxvFHyifW8weBmgPgiZ228TKzRP_oyAcSRVBLmPvHED2CSWmAizJ4WBtmfILpBljW1mb8xYEak8_WXddaWEO8oQPNSYlcBZnFxKrRjPYjLWsygon1ypZWcIR0HkiNMvpQs6ovjrBYbEco_1ttZcmULlcbjLbVKeWYKYSgMQMcEBNJZerE/w133-h200/3331tvc-veers2.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;So, what&#39;s good here?  Almost everything.   His construction shares arms and legs with multiple Imperials, with hands that vary from figure to figure.  I had Krennic on my desk, and Krennic&#39;s left hand is different than Veers&#39; - but the arms and legs are otherwise very similar.  Veers&#39; chest and &quot;skirt&quot; are new pieces with molded-on armor, as is his head and helmet.   Thanks to the parts reuse, you know the joints are all pretty good and he stands perfectly well.   He doesn&#39;t sit particularly well, so this is one of those figures where I&#39;d say Hasbro could have gotten away with 1-piece legs and I wouldn&#39;t be disappointed.  All he&#39;s going to do is stand on a shelf or stand in an AT-AT.  The only thing that feels missing is his chin strap and tiny microphone, annoyingly giving Hasbro a reason to go back and do him again some day.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vVgJD58cixV6w8WS-HWNnGahcs5n_Xz28tX-obENKmFpwnz1yEIzjtPytsjKsEU1aLrg3WDjB-gt16jKCoXzXV7tgFryJ0UywhpUcL9-NHxdKZUkrSqyaoGI8AJwbKg59jXMxlaKtkQ1wto7RXPMzwF7xzX8XR2pEz2pPHjLvFbTUWPuZXq0LdG0C0U/s1250/3331tvc-veers5.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vVgJD58cixV6w8WS-HWNnGahcs5n_Xz28tX-obENKmFpwnz1yEIzjtPytsjKsEU1aLrg3WDjB-gt16jKCoXzXV7tgFryJ0UywhpUcL9-NHxdKZUkrSqyaoGI8AJwbKg59jXMxlaKtkQ1wto7RXPMzwF7xzX8XR2pEz2pPHjLvFbTUWPuZXq0LdG0C0U/w133-h200/3331tvc-veers5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The armor color is probably right.  It&#39;s always weird looking back at the movie and reference photography, because we&#39;ve seen green Tarkins and there are some green-tinted Veers shots too.  Teach the controversy, I guess.  If it were 2007 or 2008 I would expect a deco variant in a multipack with some Snowtroopers so fans could get both, but I think that era is long behind us.   Assuming you do not find fault with the colors Hasbro selected, as they are arguably open to interpretation, I would say that they did a good job here.  The cloth parts look like cloth, the armor looks like plastic/metal/plasteel.  Texturally, it&#39;s very good, and his helmet has the goggles stuck to them.  I think this was the right move, as some Hoth troopers tried to do separate goggles and I don&#39;t like how they turned out.   I think I would&#39;ve preferred Hasbro to just mold everything to the head, and include the chin strap, when it comes to his &quot;pilot&quot; outfit.  But, it&#39;s fine.  At this size, a chin strap and microphone are likely to go missed by collectors unless they hold the figure up to the movie and go &quot;hey, wait a minute.&quot;   There are subtle differences in his uniform collar from the movie, but his chin will hide those so it&#39;s not of any great importance.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4__23mS4RJd42aCzVIC22TxRt34-xqWfevBaqwAvX67Mz4bgabmkAp3Cqy8UbycZn-loTRaZRgRBeRrBlBcXmLh5RQ11DWVnwb18nN5S_U56mnW1cAs6LtBiOWCN5q32aMzwvpvvRbduOGQ6MNt-VWhYQqHKsnHciVocmqMNFJp5d_NBqY6c-KQ0dww/s1250/3331tvc-veers4.JPG&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL4__23mS4RJd42aCzVIC22TxRt34-xqWfevBaqwAvX67Mz4bgabmkAp3Cqy8UbycZn-loTRaZRgRBeRrBlBcXmLh5RQ11DWVnwb18nN5S_U56mnW1cAs6LtBiOWCN5q32aMzwvpvvRbduOGQ6MNt-VWhYQqHKsnHciVocmqMNFJp5d_NBqY6c-KQ0dww/w133-h200/3331tvc-veers4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Hasbro opted to include a removable helmet, which means you get a frankly upsetting portrait of Julian Glover.  Yes, Donavan from &lt;i&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/i&gt;.  Yes, Scaroth from an excellent arc of &lt;i&gt;Doctor Who&lt;/i&gt;.  I assume Hasbro had some tip-top reference for him from &lt;i&gt;Indiana Jones&lt;/i&gt;, as he looks a tiny bit older than the &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; look with - and maybe it&#39;s my imagination - less color in his hair.  He&#39;s usually got his hat on, though, so it&#39;s up for debate - but what&#39;s undebatable is that it&#39;s an amazing face.  Hasbro has really struggled to get perfect head sculpts of Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Mark Hamill... but Peter Cushing? Nailed it.  Julian Glover?  Perfect.  There&#39;s nothing about it that seems off.  Hasbro&#39;s head sculpt looks a lot like its 6-inch &lt;i&gt;The Black Series&lt;/i&gt; figure.  The face is perfect. The forehead wrinkles?  Perfect.  The slight hint of a scowl, it&#39;s all here. Other than making his eyebrows and hair a little browner, I wouldn&#39;t change a thing.   It doesn&#39;t need to be this good, yet it is.  Given that he&#39;s $20, I guess maybe he &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; need to be nearly perfect.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The door is open for another armor-less Veers, especially since Hasbro probably has all of the parts to cobble one together now.  You&#39;ll want that too, if it comes to pass.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I have no doubt you have an AT-AT Commander or General Veers that you own and are fine with.  This one is better.  If you are happy with the figure you own, which you probably have not looked at in ten or fifteen years, you probably don&#39;t need this one.  If the non-removable armor makes you cranky, don&#39;t buy the new one.  Having said that, this outfit fits better.  This head sculpt is dynamite.  I wouldn&#39;t mind a &lt;a href=&quot;http://theswca.com/images-forei/canada-veers.html&quot;&gt;black cardback variant to riff on the Sears Canada version&lt;/a&gt;, maybe even in Kenner colors, if they were up for it.  But this&#39;ll do, and I once again say that there&#39;s arguably no reason for Hasbro to ever do another armored Veers figure in our lifetimes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s/?query1=Veers+vintage&amp;amp;id=16-502018719&quot;&gt;I got mine from Entertainment Earth&lt;/a&gt;.  As of my writing this, he&#39;s a Fan Channel / Amazon exclusive.  I&#39;m hoping they put him into wider release for the anniversary next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Hasbro has made quite a few very decent &lt;b&gt;Greedo&lt;/b&gt; figures and, of course, this one is the best.   For the purposes of a figure that&#39;ll merely sit at a table, the 1998 mold (rereleased a few times) may be best, but this is your go-to figure for standing.  It&#39;s like a slightly-better, shrunken-down version of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2013/11/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2052-greedo.html&quot;&gt;2013 &lt;i&gt;The Black Series&lt;/i&gt; 6-inch figure [FOTD #2,052]&lt;/a&gt; that seems to use the same digital sculpt.  That&#39;s OK, it&#39;s a good sculpt, and I think it may have been used for the Jakks Pacific Big Figs release.  Remember those? They were a big deal.&lt;p&gt;

This Greedo&#39;s body was also used for the 2025 &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2025/10/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-3288-greedo.html&quot;&gt;Kenner-style Greedo [FOTD #3,288]&lt;/a&gt;, which will probably be my go-to &quot;plays with&quot; version.  The Kenner-style colors remind me of how I interacted with the character as a kid, while this vested version reminds me of how it actually looks on a big enough screen.   Other than the vest, both figures are functionally identical minus the colors.   I&#39;d recommend buying them both, provided you have a need for more aliens.  And who doesn&#39;t?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8uLTRj22PX2iHYq4Il_L0xz5alRcq3fHLqF42awM2xJZ6teVJv56jt5V9yrnMZnNlZukjAOM0D1iN42-xYU1N9ylwELUMcmf2_Ch3ozSzU11ZmAclQdIZcfpxZe87vpwKokFwq1u8FjmK3r767tO54bYqt_i8SHk_P2bnfP_pokFop0nIBeqkl2vUgg/s1250/3330tvc-mass-greedo-cantina-haslab4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ8uLTRj22PX2iHYq4Il_L0xz5alRcq3fHLqF42awM2xJZ6teVJv56jt5V9yrnMZnNlZukjAOM0D1iN42-xYU1N9ylwELUMcmf2_Ch3ozSzU11ZmAclQdIZcfpxZe87vpwKokFwq1u8FjmK3r767tO54bYqt_i8SHk_P2bnfP_pokFop0nIBeqkl2vUgg/w133-h200/3330tvc-mass-greedo-cantina-haslab4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The costume seems pretty good, but there are a lot of continuity issues regarding the shoes.  Kenner&#39;s various figures changed color from release to release, and this one opts with what I assume the style guide demands - gray.  And they look fine.  I would also have been happy with pink high heels, to match the classic behind-the-scenes reshoot photography.   As far as I can tell the costume might be right, but lighting makes the vest look different from shot to shot.  It&#39;s browner here.  It has been a pale yellow, too.   The movie scenes look a smidgen more orange or brown depending on the edition, so all I can say is that this one looks perfectly fine and Hasbro could probably do running changes with different vests and fans might buy it.  I mean, if I were them, that&#39;s what I&#39;d do on a future rerun.   And then a Beedo vest version.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The suit and pants seem great, with yellow painted sleeves.  The yellow paint is a little thick, and seems like they missed a few spots.  The sculpt for the yellow parts on the pants and sleeves isn&#39;t very good.  I think sculpting deeper cuts on the yellow bands would have helped solve the problem, &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2007/07/figure-of-day-day-285-greedo.html&quot;&gt;as was the case on some older figures&lt;/a&gt;. The sculpted clothing wrinkles absolutely obliterated the fabric textures on the costume. We might just be seeing the limitation of the materials, and maybe some day we&#39;ll see a dual-molded Greedo where half the arm or leg are molded in the yellow plastic color with no paint at all. (I&#39;m not an engineer, I have no idea if it&#39;ll hold up to that.)  Unless you get really close, you probably won&#39;t notice the areas where the paint is less than perfect, or the incredible stitching sculpted in the suit or vest.  The belt is also nice, as is the holster.   By and large, everybody did a real nice job here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

The peg waist joint allows for tilts in all directions at the belt region, which is a good and sensible thing to do.  Heck, Hasbro and Kenner have known for years that there&#39;s no better place to put a joint than the belt line but &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2021/11/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2870-lando.html&quot;&gt;they&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2022/01/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2894-lobot.html&quot;&gt;sometimes&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2022/01/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-2891.html&quot;&gt;forget&lt;/a&gt; and it does mar the look of the figure a bit.   Here, it couldn&#39;t be better - all joints are as integrated as well as current toy wizardry allows.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The head is fine.  I would have preferred the eyes be a little more purple, but blue is probably fine for most fans.  I&#39;d be curious if this is a Disney style guide issue that fans didn&#39;t force, because over the years I have heard from a few fans that develop these products who were &lt;i&gt;very particular&lt;/i&gt; about purple eyes.&lt;p&gt;

As this figure has a good range of movement and can stand or sit, or hold his blaster, it&#39;s probably the last Greedo you&#39;ll ever need to buy.  Thanks to the plastic vest being an improvement over the cloth one from roughly 20 years ago, I assume fans of super articulation love this upgrade and I&#39;m glad Hasbro didn&#39;t lock it behind a crowdfund.  The head sculpt is dynamite, the joints allow for some subtle movements, and the elbow joint cuts are pretty great.  I can imagine a few small ways they could improve it later, but if it&#39;ll take another 20 years for a complete makeover it may no longer be a concern for me or many of you, either.  For now? Get this one, it very well be the last collector-grade 3 3/4-inch Greedo many of us will ever have a chance to buy.    It&#39;s grim to say this, but I really do wonder who among us will still be interested in this stuff when the 60th rolls around.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.entertainmentearth.com/s/?query1=greedo+vintage&amp;amp;id=16-502018719&quot;&gt;I got mine from Entertainment Earth&lt;/a&gt;.  As of my writing this, he&#39;s a Fan Channel / Amazon exclusive.  I&#39;m hoping they put him into wider release for the anniversary next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Bio:&lt;/b&gt; To commemorate the rich history of the &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; film series, Kenner presents this Classic Edition 4-Pack in a strictly limited release. Four of the most popular characters have been produced from molds cast directly from the original Kenner action figures dating to the late 1970&#39;s and early 1980&#39;s. This special edition comes as a new era for &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; toys is proudly unveiled. Look for the all-new line of Kenner action figures and vehicles that capture all the detail, authenticity, and excitement of the epic &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; tradition.  (Taken from the figure&#39;s box.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Rumor has it this &quot;strictly limited edition&quot; was somewhere around 200,000-250,000, which is mind-bendingly insane by modern standards.   200,000 was a big success for the 1990s when it came to collector lines, but that&#39;s also why so many 1990s figures are so cheap today. Not only were they bought by adults who took very good care of them, they were made in incredible quantities. If you want something to be valuable, kids need to destroy the bulk of a very large run. This ensures demand existed, and will exist again.  But I digress.  &lt;b&gt;Han Solo&lt;/b&gt; was one of four figures in this set, which fans largely hated upon its release   I liked it for what it was - but the original Kenner figures were still affordable sans packaging around the mid-1990s.  Not &quot;cheap.&quot;  Affordable.&lt;p&gt;

These were cast from new molds, which were cast from the old toys. There are signs of generation loss, and the shrinkage that happens when you make a mold from an old toy.  Modern &lt;i&gt;The Retro Collection&lt;/i&gt; figures are 3D scanned and that&#39;s easier to scale.  What&#39;s harder to do is make the right changes to the mold - 2019 Han Solo lacks a lot of the detail that came from copying an original figure with analog techniques in 1995.  1995 Han has sharper, deeper sculpted details than the later reissue, plus details that got completely wiped out with the 2019 edition.  1995 Han has stitching on the back of his vest, and some wrinkles in his white shirt that seem a little more dynamic.  The legs are pretty much the same, but the shirt looks a lot more smoothed-out in 2019.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFg4OqOK3Zd9WIVyCfVSDyLumBk31Y-DHNt2-T1uxzgwNo4aWK-ulww6DBK9nmLh8JnLJ6KJJjOC1O4iMiUFqswJLY7_z2YlKQO7WLkgfv9jC1OpVTQlsycm7H_lc9VN5HZxq6K96b7JvVm6NPD-6GHfR6L-7GULRt2rfU28kbGZbEuoiIBTcUrzjP-7k/s1250/3329potf2-classic4pack-han-solo4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFg4OqOK3Zd9WIVyCfVSDyLumBk31Y-DHNt2-T1uxzgwNo4aWK-ulww6DBK9nmLh8JnLJ6KJJjOC1O4iMiUFqswJLY7_z2YlKQO7WLkgfv9jC1OpVTQlsycm7H_lc9VN5HZxq6K96b7JvVm6NPD-6GHfR6L-7GULRt2rfU28kbGZbEuoiIBTcUrzjP-7k/w133-h200/3329potf2-classic4pack-han-solo4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Part of the reason for this is the paint.  &lt;i&gt;The Retro Collection&lt;/i&gt; and a lot of other lines have &lt;i&gt;significantly&lt;/i&gt; thicker layers of paint in the 21st century.  It wasn&#39;t uncommon to get a toy like a &lt;i&gt;Battle Beasts&lt;/i&gt; figure that was cast in black plastic and painted orange, with mint-in-package samples showing through the paint.   1995 Han has much more detail in his shirt and belt buckle, and sure enough, the white paint is paler and thinner.   The hair color is much lighter, and the facial details look  more like 1990s-style.  It&#39;s hard to put into words, but the eyes being brown and the very specific details being shaped differently, it&#39;s just not the same as a 1978 original small-head Han.  It&#39;s similar, sure, but nobody is going to mistake one for the other.    Kenner also updated the copyright on the leg, so anyone who &lt;i&gt;does&lt;/i&gt; mistake this for a real 1970s release deserves what they (don&#39;t) get.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Han 1995 comes with a &quot;Kenner blue&quot; blaster that honestly does not match the specific Kenner blue hue of old.  It&#39;s grayer, less saturated, and of course smaller.  It fits his hand perfectly, and he doesn&#39;t drop it over time like the 2019 figure and its rereleases. (Hasbro really needs to retool the hand and/or blaster if that ever comes back.)   It&#39;s not the same as the original, but it&#39;s different and interesting. It&#39;s like another variant of the original Han, which I find more and more charming as time goes on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

But how does it play? Great. The 1995-style smaller foot peg holes work with modern stands quite nicely, and I am fond of how he and Chewie sit well in the 1995 &lt;i&gt;Millennium Falcon&lt;/i&gt;.  While smaller than the 1978-1985 releases (or 2019-2024 releases), it feels more like a real toy that came out of a real toy company.  Hasbro&#39;s 2019-2024 versions have better eye paint, better coloration, and more accurate sizing, but feel like the &quot;toy&quot; vibes got lost as a copy of a copy.   You have to be very careful to get &lt;i&gt;Retro&lt;/i&gt; Han to hold a blaster.  &quot;Classic&quot; Han requires no such negotiations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

If you&#39;re a &lt;i&gt;The Retro Collection&lt;/i&gt; fanatic looking for a fix, I recommend picking this set up. eBay prices are quite fair (given inflation), and the unique Topps promo cards in the box are a nice bonus.  The set has unique details and accessories that clearly define them as a separate thing, and the set hails from an era when anything &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; was exciting and for many fans, still a fresh experience.   Kenner stopped making &lt;i&gt;Star Wars&lt;/i&gt; in 1985, and they were long gone by 1989, so by 1995 people were hungry for anything Kenner (or Galoob, or JusToys, or In Character) put out.   Minds were blown by new action figures back then, and fans were just as nitpicky online about sizes or not being as good as the originals as they are today.   Don&#39;t let that dissuade you - this is an interesting set unto itself.   If you want an original, buy an original, this is nifty as a set that had to walk a thin line between &quot;don&#39;t infuriate fans with original figures&quot; and &quot;don&#39;t anger fans who want exact replicas.&quot;   Today, I wish they made more sets like this - but I confess, at the time, I wished they focused on new guys and fans just spent $5-$20 to get the genuine article (loose) at comic shops.  Han was a valiant effort, and this four-pack would be the last time Hasbro tried to appeal to the OG figure crowd until mail-in Rocket Boba Fett in 2010.  Which would be the last time Hasbro appealed to that crowd until 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Wow, that was long.  We&#39;ll revisit the other guys in this set soon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

What&#39;s bad? Timing - he came out in May 2025, about three years after we saw this outfit on screen.  That&#39;s too late. That would be like releasing a Hoth figure in 1983.  But the figure itself is very good, with the right accessories, and if you missed it?  Well, you can go to Ross and maybe find one for five bucks.  It&#39;s worth it.  Even at $17, it&#39;s a very nice figure.  I&#39;m looking for a reason to complain, and &quot;Hasbro didn&#39;t get it in enough regular stores so now you can get it for 70% off&quot; and &quot;came out really late&quot; are as much as I&#39;ve got.&lt;p&gt;


&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilMroofJJGwglbcJxqfrwAP-1UgelFCl3b7B9LG8d7pYFPTHZJA-Z9Q-P3LOV2MKDhvBTAj2v7QZIdVQ235FEdcFW7MCpJG-gWCwVecG29kR65lYRBHM9ZJnTGYLoaE7M1Wxi7hpuDL1DtNgQfhSFaeTMGhBLdZgigr2SbeKUeIHe9mAGt4h2frP_xzkE/s1250/3328tvc-kenobi-jedi-legend3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilMroofJJGwglbcJxqfrwAP-1UgelFCl3b7B9LG8d7pYFPTHZJA-Z9Q-P3LOV2MKDhvBTAj2v7QZIdVQ235FEdcFW7MCpJG-gWCwVecG29kR65lYRBHM9ZJnTGYLoaE7M1Wxi7hpuDL1DtNgQfhSFaeTMGhBLdZgigr2SbeKUeIHe9mAGt4h2frP_xzkE/w133-h200/3328tvc-kenobi-jedi-legend3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;He shares many parts with #291 (the showdown 2-pack figure, which I haven&#39;t opened yet) and that would be my main complaint.  But he&#39;s fine.  Yeah, the gloves are just painted on... but they look perfectly nice.  Sure, the fresher white robes show minor signs of wear... but whatever, it works.    His many joints move smoothly and you can get some great combat poses here.  The ball-jointed hips mean he can ride an Eopie, if you got one.  The lightsaber hilt plugs in his belt, and the goggles can stretch over his head or you can pop off his melon and hang them around his neck.   They also replicated his weirdly Kenner-esque cape, which also means &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sideshow.com/collectibles/star-wars-obi-wan-kenobi-mythos-sideshow-collectibles-300853&quot;&gt;he looks a lot like the Obi-Wan Kenobi Mythos Statue&lt;/a&gt; that we all loved so much.  It was nice to see a collectible inspire the TV show - I mean, it&#39;s the right choice - and the figure is a perfectly nice riff on a riff (of a riff.)   I haven&#39;t had any real problems getting the joints to move, or finding his center of gravity.  The fingers took a bit of work to manipulate so he can double-grip the lightsaber, but that&#39;s not abnormal at this scale.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibF9UI9zxbyfCJHC3DctG1Gb8O8Cnuj1mt7PS8ldEDEgiieywFbtwG2rjvmxT8eJigxLSkRkjdIr8NaRwO4LzNQxeTSauxhcmQau2AaZZdcl61SozNCcc6fRI5G72PiMJUggFG9eW4YC2djyvj7kAywAiliGYCZvOxO2ymDuM-05XXYjIvCuA8tV4ewLs/s1250/3328tvc-kenobi-jedi-legend5.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibF9UI9zxbyfCJHC3DctG1Gb8O8Cnuj1mt7PS8ldEDEgiieywFbtwG2rjvmxT8eJigxLSkRkjdIr8NaRwO4LzNQxeTSauxhcmQau2AaZZdcl61SozNCcc6fRI5G72PiMJUggFG9eW4YC2djyvj7kAywAiliGYCZvOxO2ymDuM-05XXYjIvCuA8tV4ewLs/w133-h200/3328tvc-kenobi-jedi-legend5.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The Ewan McGregor is very good, not perfect, but excellent for the size. The wig is glued on, the face is printed on, and the beard shows much improvement over what we were seeing 20-25 years ago.    Maybe a little gray in the hair would be nice, but we rarely see much of it at this scale.  The outfit deco is largely simple, lacking in any signs of dirt or weathering, but that sort of thing is also increasingly common a few years after a price increase, but before the next round of price increases. (&lt;i&gt;Vintage&lt;/i&gt; would shoot up to $19.99 a few months after this guy came out.)&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

I really wish we got this outfit in &lt;i&gt;The Retro Collection&lt;/i&gt; because this is the kind of costuming that inspires kids to imagine their own adventures... and that&#39;s where my interests remain.  This was his &quot;goodbye&quot; outfit on the show, but what did he do next? Nobody knows! But I bet he was wearing these pants when he did it!  Unless you&#39;re opposed to the Disney era in general, I&#39;d recommend this one.  It&#39;s a hopeful figure that would be fun to play with, were you of such a mindset.  There&#39;s no real good reason for this figure to exist given it&#39;s meant as an adult collectible souvenir for the post-post-release of a streaming show, but I like it. I&#39;m glad they did it.  I wouldn&#39;t mind a few more figures from &lt;i&gt;Obi-Wan Kenobi&lt;/i&gt; either.  That show holds up better on a rewatch.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Confidential to Lucasfilm: if you&#39;re never doing another live-action Kenobi show from this era, consider doing a cartoon. I&#39;d love to see this outfit in action, somewhere, somehow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Not because they&#39;re not a good idea, but in all honesty I have no reason to open them - there&#39;s no big playset or ship to fill out, so what even is the point of an army builder?  In 2022, Hasbro did four flavors of &lt;b&gt;Rebel Soldider (Echo  Base Hoth Gear)&lt;/b&gt; with four new heads and some minor deco tweaks.  It was a 2011 figure that was, at the time, perfectly nice.  It looks good, it stands well, but Hasbro&#39;s playset output for Hoth since 1995 has been a couple of turrets and one little trench.   You really don&#39;t need these guys.  But if you needed to fill out a diorama? These are pretty good guys. &lt;p&gt;

We&#39;ll get to them all in due time, but Hasbro took the original 2011 mold and made some changes to it.  From the neck down, it&#39;s pretty much the same.  But from the neck up, they&#39;re interesting with varying colors of scarf, removable goggles, and new faces.  I have no concept of these guys being a specific person from the movie, or a random Hasbro, Disney, or Lucasfilm employee.  This one is just some white guy with no facial hair.  He fits in with the other out-of-focus people in the background, with a costume that looks really nice.   I don&#39;t mind getting more of this suit, because a) we&#39;ve had few of this uniform and b) this was more or less based on the original Rebel Soldier figure from Kenner.  (But you know, corrected a bit.)  I assume he&#39;s just made up, and for some human guy?  He looks great. The hair is molded to the head, and the hairline seems painted nicely.  For all I know I bumped into his inspiration at a meeting, but I don&#39;t know for sure.   He fits in.  You can make use of him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPrNaU6TNpCv-dAmKVXL8r-2lS7fgC8hdTBoSwTNKoalc5ibGzHNErkttDTE4leR10UNNB6-4spa2KC7w4GhXZclj61LCBZWigACJvj4YImUR4Fw8G2dOo0aZa7wRsvrGDEUJFs8vCIL0ZJzkK590dBfLyEXiqF5vCIYiK-8h5H6yx8Gmj9grz3cJmRU/s1250/3327tvc-rebel-soldier-hoth-shaven4.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPrNaU6TNpCv-dAmKVXL8r-2lS7fgC8hdTBoSwTNKoalc5ibGzHNErkttDTE4leR10UNNB6-4spa2KC7w4GhXZclj61LCBZWigACJvj4YImUR4Fw8G2dOo0aZa7wRsvrGDEUJFs8vCIL0ZJzkK590dBfLyEXiqF5vCIYiK-8h5H6yx8Gmj9grz3cJmRU/w133-h200/3327tvc-rebel-soldier-hoth-shaven4.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The hat is new for this set, and is fully removable.   The scarf hangs down like the original Hoth Luke figure, and this one comes in dark brown. (Other figures are a little different.)  It fits well, and it looks great.  What I don&#39;t like about it is the goggles, which are a literal stretch to get over the hat and just don&#39;t work as something you can put on his eyes - they&#39;re too big.   My guess is Hasbro wanted you to put them over the hat but I don&#39;t want to rip anything, so he&#39;ll probably just hold them in his hands.   He has no problem holding either the blaster rifle or pistol, the latter of which fits into a holster with no fuss.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

But how is that outdated body?  On one hand, it&#39;s a 2011 bit of business that could be done better today - but to date Hasbro has yet to make a better Hoth Rebel mold. We&#39;ve been getting the same ones over and over.  Could Hasbro do better?  Yes, and I assume they will. But for scene filler, this is still a pretty good mold despite the old design. The sculpt is crisp, and the colors are good.  The detail and paint look fine.  The wrists and hips are swivel-only... but unless you&#39;re trying to seat them at a console that doesn&#39;t exist, it doesn&#39;t matter - and they look good.  The ankle joints aren&#39;t obnoxious, and the knee joints integrate nicely into the costume design.  While I would&#39;ve liked something fancier, we got 4 figures for $45 back when they were about $13.99 each.  And old mold at a discount? I can live with that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-QiMMPcaEZydvAgfmzBykzlE4VGXSY94dSJ4mmoIU405pvsXhCoX6zfbeTzlV2zuenqAAye2agxw8pbt68UNoG2-wQx4Pdl55D4O-TyRIxhvC8K4fkGqFiKlPK66zMGiT3hbffwNX8zoRdDabhPflivms8jGtzwymnB2Ov_W3jSCmwkJDjeeeJLCBXY/s1250/3327tvc-rebel-soldier-hoth-shaven3.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1250&quot; data-original-width=&quot;833&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-QiMMPcaEZydvAgfmzBykzlE4VGXSY94dSJ4mmoIU405pvsXhCoX6zfbeTzlV2zuenqAAye2agxw8pbt68UNoG2-wQx4Pdl55D4O-TyRIxhvC8K4fkGqFiKlPK66zMGiT3hbffwNX8zoRdDabhPflivms8jGtzwymnB2Ov_W3jSCmwkJDjeeeJLCBXY/w133-h200/3327tvc-rebel-soldier-hoth-shaven3.JPG&quot; width=&quot;133&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;In 2026, this is not an impressive figure.  It wasn&#39;t impressive in 2022 either... but it was good enough.  If Hasbro can make &quot;good enough&quot; at prices that aren&#39;t $15-$20 per figure, I think I can be happy with that.  I wish the goggles and hat were better integrated, though.  Honestly just having goggles that could clip to the hat or molded to the top would&#39;ve been fine by me, but at least Hasbro was trying to do something here.  I&#39;d recommend this set for those looking to fill out a scene, particularly the interior of Echo Base&#39;s hangar, but I can&#39;t imagine that&#39;s a common diorama these days.   Given the price went from $45 to about $29, presumably Hasbro made far more than demand required. (Heck, I almost skipped this set.)   For today&#39;s price of roughly $7.50 a pop, it&#39;s a slam-dunk.   If Hasbro ever does a Hoth Rebel-specific &lt;i&gt;The Empire Strikes Back&lt;/i&gt; diorama or Rebel Transport ship, you might want more of these. (I would not bet on this.)   They&#39;re nice enough figures, with decent uniforms, and even though some of them don&#39;t match what you saw on the screen they&#39;re still decent enough at filling out trenches or adapting your speeders to the cold.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Confidential to Hasbro: if you could just make 3 3/4-inch scale enlarged versions of the Hoth MicroCollection playsets (stickers and all, nothing fancy), I&#39;d buy another 3-5 packs of these guys.  My interest in army building is directly proportional to having places to station those armies.  With no big playsets for several years, I have no reason to buy more than one or maybe two of any given trooper. They serve no function other than to clutter my toy rooms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt; I got mine from Hasbro Pulse, and I waited until later so I could get free shipping.  But they&#39;re sold out, so use the &lt;a amzn.to=&quot;&quot; bj7zd4=&quot;&quot; href=&quot;https://amzn.to/4bj7ZD4&quot; https:=&quot;&quot;&gt;Amazon sonsored affiliate link&lt;/a&gt; where it&#39;s $15 less than what I paid for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

For fans of 3 3/4-inch figures, we got a holo Yoda in 2005, and of course &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2025/12/star-wars-figure-of-day-day-3306-force.html&quot;&gt;Force Ghost Yoda [FOTD #3,606]&lt;/a&gt; last year, with the very first &lt;a href=&quot;https://figureoftheday.blogspot.com/2006/08/figure-of-day-day-94-spirit-of-yoda.html&quot;&gt;Spirit of Yoda [FOTD #94]&lt;/a&gt; way back in 1998.   Each version offers something a little different,  but most of them do it with color.  This one is similar to some existing Yoda figures you may have bought, now with clear blue hands and feet.    The figure has darker skin and a darker brown outfit, plus that metallic blue shimmer that looks so good.&lt;p&gt;

For whatever reason, the robe looks better here than on Anakin or Obi-Wan.   You can still see right through it, but depending on the lighting it&#39;s a little less visible.   He still has his flute and cane, plus the swivel elbows and wrists so he can hold his cane.  It follows the template of the other figures in the set, and given Yoda&#39;s more recent appearances in &lt;i&gt;The Last Jedi&lt;/i&gt; I don&#39;t think I like it as much.   With &lt;i&gt;Return of the Jedi&lt;/i&gt; you were dealing with an earlier level of optical effects, so there&#39;s probably some level of ambiguity as to how it was meant to look, and how it looked.  Newer Force Ghosts are not really as icy clear blue, and you could probably have just gotten away with an opaque figure splattered in a slight blue metallic tint (like his head, cane, and body got.)  The hands and feet are probably a step too far, and I can&#39;t say I&#39;m ultimately thrilled with this set as a definitive take on these characters in this style. It&#39;s good, but it doesn&#39;t quite match what we saw in the movie (or what we thought we saw.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

At $58, this 3-pack came out &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; the big $19.99 price hike of a single figure last year - so it&#39;s rather expensive for what you get.  Obi-Wan and Anakin have no accessories (well, an alt head, OK) so there&#39;s just not a lot here for the money. Yoda&#39;s face printing is very good, and the articulation is below average for 2025.  It would be a stretch to say he feels like he&#39;s worth $19.33, but I also wonder how collectors perceive the value of this figure without an Ewok village in the first place.  The 1998 3-pack had a themed base that was sensible and welcome.  We haven&#39;t had a playset that really fits with this guy in decades.  I doubt we&#39;ll ever get an official modular Ewok Village, so this guy&#39;s fate is probably to wind up in a shelf of figures lined up shoulder to shoulder (to knee) or to stay in the package.  Maybe he&#39;ll get to be in some fancy Instagram photos.  But more than likely, a regular Yoda figure would do the trick for pretty much all fans.  It&#39;s a neat idea, but not one that necessarily benefits from the materials and articulation we&#39;re being charged more than full price for here.   The main reason I&#39;d still recommend this set is because the 1998 versions are yellowing (OK, greening) with age, and - at least for now - this one looks better.  Hopefully Hasbro won&#39;t use clear plastic for future releases, so they to avoid looking awful as time goes on.  It might be silly to think about how a figure may look in 20 or 30 years, but I&#39;m hoping to still be here and enjoying my little plastic men.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;


&lt;b&gt;Collector&#39;s Notes:&lt;/b&gt;  I got mine from  Hasbro Pulse.  Hasbro had a Pulse Premium exclusive window on this set for about a month, in which it did not sell out, nor did it sell out in subsequent months.  It shipped in November, and it&#39;s still in stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yes, and no.  The set uses new and old molds with new coloring, much like the prop department on the show.   There are instantly recognizable elements from the show, along with some new bits.   If you want to skip it, be my guest, but it&#39;s a unique (if nameless) figure.&lt;p&gt;

The helmet seems to be a good match, too, as is the backpack.  This figure also has a unique belt/holster part.  I feel like a kid doing a book report from a cover, but it&#39;s worth noting the helmet is blue with a gray stripe on the top and very dark gray around the shiny black visor.   I also dug the silver left gauntlet and yellow right gauntlet.  It has a similar flavor to other figures, but it&#39;s unique enough to be interesting and/or somebody&#39;s 501st fan character.   Articulation is on par with recent releases, as no new bits were constructed here.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

He also has a vibroblade which I am fairly sure has never been used with another figure.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

Hasbro delivered the goods here, trading on what the prop department did best.  I wouldn&#39;t say it&#39;s mind-blowing in 2026 (or 2024) but it does provide us with new characters that appeared on screen without incorporating a lot of new parts.  That&#39;s worth something, but at the same time, I&#39;d be just as happy if this guy had half the joints at a lower price.  It&#39;s a very deluxe figure for a fairly insignificant character, and at markdown prices is a real gem.   I&#39;d say give it a look.  If you need more Mandos - and at this point, that feels less likely - get this set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
