Luminara Unduli
A good number of the 3.75-inch action figures we are getting from the first few waves in the current Star Wars Black Series are actually designs that were to be released originally for the Star Wars Vintage Collection by Hasbro.
Mace Windu (CW20)
On one of my trips downtown I found this figure of Jedi Master Mace Windu (CW20), released a couple of years ago in Hasbro’s Clone Wars line.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Black Series)
This version of Obi-Wan Kenobi was released by Hasbro as part of the third wave of figures in their Star Wars Black Series line.
Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Force)
It has been rather quiet on the Star Wars collectible front lately, so I picked up this Playskool set featuring the heroes from Star Wars Episode I, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Quinlan Vos (CW36)
I never quite got Quinlan Vos. He seems derivative of so many other characters from the Star Wars Expanded Universe, but that doesn’t seem to prevent him from being made into action figures over and over.
Yoda (Clone Wars)
To finish off the review of the Clone Wars Gift Pack I got, today I’ll be taking a gander at Jedi Master Yoda.
Aayla Secura
Aayla Secura is one of the few characters in the prequels that had always come out looking gorgeous in action figure form.
Mace Windu & Jango Fett (Jedi Force)
One aspect I really enjoy about collecting these type of figures, is how stress-free it has been. Hasbro releases about half a dozen sets a year, which is considerably less than the number of figures released on the other 3.75-inch. lines. And unlike those other lines, the Jedi Force sets are pretty much available all year round.
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Light-Up Lightsaber)
Continuing my look at the novelty figures released by Hasbro, as part of the 2012 Movie Heroes line today is the turn of the Light-up version of Obi –Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Hasbro had given us at least a couple of versions of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi partially equipped with armor over the years, ever since the character appeared that way in the 2005 Clone Wars animated miniseries directed by Gendy Tartakovsky
Anakin Skywalker
One of the figures I was actually anticipating from the first wave of figures in the 2012 Star Wars Vintage Collection by Hasbro is this version of young Anakin Skywalker (VC80) in his padawan garb. I never got the chance to buy the figure released in 2000 that came with a hard plastic cloak, so getting an updated version to coincide with the 3d release of the film was a chance I would not miss.
Quinlan Vos
The Star Wars Expanded Universe can be so many things for different people. For some, it is a valid continuation of the exploits of their heroes outside the frame of the movies; while others think it’s just thinly veiled attempt to keep milking the same intellectual property.
Ahsoka Tano (CW44)
Despite Hasbro Mexico’s best efforts, I still buy the odd Clone Wars figure when distribution doesn’t suck. Case in point, a figure that was allegedly released at the beginning of 2011, the newer incarnation of Ahsoka Tano (CW44).
Barriss Offee (Jedi Padawan)
The last time there was a realistic-looking action figure made of Barriss Offee, was in the Saga 2003 line. Back then it was something of a trend to sculpt the figures in rather extreme action stances and that is why I only have two Episode 2 action figures from that era in my collection, none of which is this character.
Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight Outfit)
This Luke Skywalker (VC23) figure represents the character as seen in Return of the Jedi from the time he is captured on Endor to the point where Darth Vader brings him before the Emperor.
Kit Fisto
Kit Fisto has had quite his share of action figures made since his first appearance in Attack of the Clones. Although some of those figures have been actually pretty good for their respective times, in 2011 Hasbro decided to give it go within the fourth wave of figure from the Vintage Collection.
Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight
This seems to be the year of Luke Skywalker, action figure wise, at least. This is the third Luke we’ve seen in the TAC line. Must always have to be a Luke or Vader in the assortment. Hasbro must have hired the Homer & Bart marketing team for the WOS line. Oddly this is another Jabba’s palace Luke. Most […]
