R2-D2 (ARTOO-DEETOO)

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0094: This review was supposed to run back in January, but I misplaced the figure before getting photos, and only just unearthed him last week.

I have a soft spot for robots, but for reasons that don’t really line up internally, I have a hard time getting excited about R2-D2 figures. I don’t know why. Other droids I can get excited about, even other Astromechs. Hand me an R5 and I’m thrilled. But R2? Not the same. Maybe he’s just too central a character, kind of like my thing with Duke and Optimus? It’s not that I dislike the character, nor that I don’t *want* to own him in figure form. So, I do buy him…I’m just less enthusiastic about it.

THE FIGURE ITSELF

R2-D2 (Artoo-Deetoo) was initially released as part of the third series of the Return of the Jedi Retro Carded Black Series figures.  He was then subsequently re-released, now bearing branding from The Mandalorian, in the last standard Black Series assortment of last year, alongside Hera, Huyang, Marrok, and Pre Vizsla.  It’s worth noting that the figure reviewed here is the standard assortment version, but the two releases appear to be identical.  The figure is a little under 4 inches tall and he has 11 points of articulation.  One of the more notable issues with the last astromech mold is how small it was; Lucasfilm has gone back and forth on their standards for R2’s scaling, and when the original Black Series release hit, they were opting for smaller than he actually was on screen.  The standards have changed again since, but there was already a mold, and Hasbro stuck with it for as long as they could.  This new one, however, aims for more proper scaling, adding about 3/4 of an inch, and generally scaling him up to match.  The sculpt is, at least outwardly, very similar to the previous one, just bigger.  The general articulation scheme is similar as well, with basic swivels at the shoulders and ankles, and hinged doors on the sides.  He also has opening flaps on his front, and now has a swivel at the top of the third leg.  Additionally, the way the third leg works has been re-worked, so it’s no longer connected to the head spinning.  The head now can spin 360 degrees unimpeded by the mechanism, and the leg doesn’t require the head to spin to lower it.  While it’s less gimmicky and odd, it’s also a lot harder to get the third leg out once it’s been retracted, so it’s a 50/50 on which approach is better.  The head now gets is own extending feature, based on unused concept work for The Phantom Menace.  It’s goofy, and certainly not essential, but it’s also a fun little extra.  R2’s paint work is decent enough.  It’s all pretty cleanly handled, and again pretty much matches what was done on the original.  It’s all pretty clean and sharp, and it looks appropriately the part.  R2 is packed with four different arm attachments, plus his periscope and radar attachments for the head.  He lacks the thrusters and the lightsaber (especially notable since his first release was on the RotJ card) of the first one, but there’s at least some nice options here.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I struggled getting enthused for the first R2 from the line.  The second I did better with, since the Dagobah look is a little more exciting.  This one’s effectively the original but bigger, so I wasn’t even sure I was going to buy him at all.  But, I was getting the rest of the set, and he did look pretty solid in person, so I broke.  And then, you know, I lost him.  As you do.  But I found him, so it’s alright.  He’s not bad.  The scaling is better, and some of the features a better refined.  He’s also notably sturdier, which I do like.  So, he’s fun.  But he’s R2, so I’m back to struggling to get excited.  Maybe I should have gotten the updated R5 instead?

#3610: Spacetrooper

SPACETROOPER

STAR WARS: THE LEGACY COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0089: Joe Johnston, director of Jumanji, The Rocketeer, and Captain America: The First Avenger, amongst other things, worked in the visual effects department for the original Star Wars trilogy, and had a hand in the design of both Boba Fett and his ship.

These days, my Star Wars collecting is rather focused.  I pick up the odd Black Series figure here and there, but beyond that, I’ve got my Power of the Force collection, and a selection of favorites from Clone Wars.  The other lines I generally skip, but there’s the occasional figure here and there that pique’s my interest, especially when it comes to the more fun behind the scenes stuff.  Like, for instance, today’s focus, the Spacetrooper!

THE FIGURE ITSELF

The Spacetrooper was part of the fifth assortment of Star Wars: The Legacy Collection, where he was numbered BD-32.  He was subsequently re-released the following year in a repack assortment with a new Build-A-Droid part.  All of the fifth assortment figures were based on A New Hope, and this guy was no exception; the Spacetrooper is visible outside the Death Star when the Millennium Falcon is pulled in by the tractor beam.  Essentially, he’s a standard Stormtrooper, with two extra bits to make him space ready.  The figure stands 3 3/4 inches tall and he has 22 points of articulation.  The movement on this guy represents pretty much the height of articulation for Star Wars prior to them finally doing away with the T-crotch joint that George Lucas apparently mandated.  It’s a rather mobile figure, but also kind of stiff?  I don’t know.  It’s certainly not bad for the time or the scale, and it’s less floppy than newer Star Wars figures.  The Spacetrooper’s sculpt used the sculpt that originated with the Vintage Original Trilogy Collection Stormtrooper as its starting point, but got an updated head and torso, and seems to generally be a slightly sharper rendition of the sculpt.  He’s got a removable helmet, which matches well with the non-removable equivalent for this body sculpt, and underneath, he’s got a head sporting the likeness of Joe Johnston, who was the guy actually in the Spacetrooper armor on set.  The paint work is decent enough; he’s got the basic black and white set-up, with the extra details under the helmet and all.  The Spacetrooper is packed with his rebreather pack and hose, which plug into his helmet and back, and are fairly secure.  He also gets a standard blaster, as well as a larger rifle, complete with moving handle.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I wasn’t really collecting much Star Wars when this figure came out, so I missed him when he was new.  He always intrigued me, though, so when I found a loose complete one through All Time, I jumped on it.  He’s a fun little figure, and, hey, now I’ve got a Joe Johnston figure!

#3585: Fennec Shand

FENNEC SHAND

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0064: Fennec Shand actress Ming-Na Wen has been a Disney Princess, a Star Wars Bounty Hunter, and an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., giving her a tri-fecta of Disney franchise appearances!

Star Wars: Retro Collection has somehow steadily become my main go-to line for modern Star Wars collecting, which is, I guess sort of paradoxical, with it being branded “retro” and all.  I don’t know, I just like my Star Wars figures to be more on the basic side, and the death of the 5POA line after Solo really bummed me out, so I like having *something* in that range.  That said, I’m finding myself a little less attached to all things Star Wars, so I wound up skipping pretty much all of the Book of Boba Fett tie-in set from the line.  Admittedly, it was a little bit same-y for a lot of it.  I didn’t want to miss out on Fennec, though, so here she is!

THE FIGURE ITSELF

Fennec Shand is one of the seven figures in the Book of Boba Fett assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection.  She kind of hammers home the set’s place as a Mandalorian continuation, since she’s had several appearances there, but hadn’t yet gotten a figure from the specifically Mando assortments.  Thankfully, she kept the same look in Book, so this figure can pull double duty, just like the Black Series and Vintage Collection.  The figure stands just over 3 1/2 inches tall and she has 5 points of articulation.  The movement on the neck is slightly limited by the ponytail, but the way it’s draped, it’s not entirely restricted, which is certainly a plus.  Her sculpt is unique to her, and it’s pretty nice.  It does a good job of threading the needle on keeping a lot of detailing, but also still dialing into the retro Kenner vibe.  She’s clearly meant to be aping one of Kenner’s later figures, especially given the removable helmet set-up.  The underlying head isn’t a perfect match for Ming-Na Wen, but it’s respectable enough to be obvious who it’s supposed to be, and it works well within the style.  Fennec’s paint work is actually pretty solid, with some subtle dark grey detailing mixed in with the molded black color, as well as the proper orange highlights seen in the show.  The application is pretty clean, and the whole thing looks very proper for the line.  Fennec is packed with a removable helmet (which sits very nicely on her head) and her blaster rifle.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I wanted Fennec when these figures were first shown off, but when they actually arrived, it was at the same time as the Ahsoka assortment, which I wanted more.  I’ve also been trying to scale my collection back where I can, so I didn’t want to buy just to buy.  That said, I gave it some thought and realized I still wanted the figure, so I wound up going back for her.  She’s pretty fun, just like the rest of the line.

#3575: Morgan Elsbeth

MORGAN ELSBETH

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0054:  Morgan Elsbeth, a character of witch-y background, shares her name with Morgan Le Fay, witch of Arthurian legend, befitting Star Wars’ long-seated ties to Arthurian legend.

If you ask me to pick the things that stuck out to me about Morgan Elsbeth’s first appearance in The Mandalorian‘s “Chapter 13: The Jedi,” I don’t know that Morgan herself would have really jumped out at me, but she’s one of the parts that stuck around, getting upgraded to one of the main antagonists of Ahsoka.  She’s gotten action figures of all the main variety out of it, and I’ve opted to cover the Retro-style one, because why not?

THE FIGURE ITSELF

Morgan Elsbeth is the final figure in the Ahsoka show tie-in assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection.  The figure stands just shy of 3 3/4 inches tall and she has 5 points of articulation.  The sculpt is all-new, and it’s not bad.  It’s nothing thrilling, I suppose; Morgan’s outfit is kind of pedestrian as far as Star Wars looks go, but they do their best with it.  Like a proper vintage release, she’s got her skirt from the show sculpted into a pair of awkward legs.  It’s very silly, but it’s very proper to the style, and it helps to sell the idea well.  I do feel like the hands are a little large, and the arms a little skinny, for a proper vintage figure, but it otherwise feels pretty authentic.  Morgan’s color work is kind of bland, but that’s accurate, I suppose.  There’s some red and some off black.  Paint application is kept to a minimum, but what’s there is well applied.  Morgan is packed all on her own, with no accessories of any sort.  That’s unfortunate.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I bought Morgan for one reason and one reason only: I was buying the rest of the set.  It felt silly to just skip her and Ahsoka, so I didn’t.  She’s fine.  Not thrilling.  I get her relevance to the plot, but I do wish we’d gotten someone else instead, since a number of other notable characters didn’t get moved over to this style.

#3570: HK-87 Assassin Droid

HK-87 ASSASSIN DROID

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0049: The HK-87 Assassin Droid’s design is based in part on an unused concept drawing by Ralph McQuarrie for the character that would eventually become IG-88.

Well, I didn’t *intend* to miss a review yesterday, but the day just wasn’t having any of it.  Have no fear, I’m back and on track once more, and jumping headlong back into the Star Wars side of things.  I’m going back to the Retro Figures well again, this time having just a little bit more Droid-related fun with the HK-87 Assassin Droid!

THE FIGURE ITSELF

The HK-87 Assassin Droid is the sixth figure in the Ahsoka tie-in assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection.  This one is specifically meant to be one of the rank and file HKs, seen in both Mandalorian and Ahsoka.  The figure stands about 3 3/4 inches tall and he has 5 points of articulation.  The sculpt is all-new and unique to this release.  It’s a pretty good breakdown of the design seen in the show, filtered through that vintage lens.  The design is the totally stripped down version of the droid, without any of the belts or cloaks they tend to wear in the shows.  It allows for extra customization, I suppose, if you were so inclined.  Beyond that, the details are generally hitting the broader design pieces, and they’re pretty cleanly handled.  His color work again goes for one of the rank and file droids, so he’s got the mix of grey, tan, and red.  It’s again a little broader and stripped down than the show design, but it works, and it sells the idea pretty well.  The HK is packed with a vintage styled-version of the battle droid blaster.  It’s surprising that no cloak or anything is included, but this does match with the more paired down approach of the vintage line.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

The HK design’s a fun one, and it’s one I’ve been wanting in some format, but I was’t sure I wanted to spring for the Black Series version.  This one hit just as I was trying to make the decision, which made the whole thing a lot easier for me.  It’s a basic figure, much like the rest of the line, but he’s fun.

#3568: ARC Trooper Captain

ARC TROOPER CAPTAIN

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0047: Though there have been numerous figures based on the 2D Clone Wars‘ Captain Fordo, his name as only been used officially one time for a figure.

Have you ever loved something from afar? That’s my relationship with the original Clone Wars and its tie-in figures. I loved them, but the airtimes for the original shorts made them tricky to catch, and the line was pretty majorly scalped at the time. Nevertheless, I still hold a fondness for it. One of my favorite parts remains something I actually *did* get to experience firsthand during the original run, which is Clone Captain Fordo and his original figure. And me being me, that translates to buying more figures on top of the one I already have, right?

THE FIGURE ITSELF

The ARC Trooper Captain was a Walmart-exclusive Star Wars: The Black Series release, released in packaging styled after the original 2D tie-in line, and under the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary banner. He hit in the Spring of 2022, alongside similarly styled Mace Windu and General Grievous figures. The figure stands about 6 1/4 inches tall and has 29 points of articulation. Fordo is largely based on the molds introduced by ARC Trooper Echo. As they’re both ARC Troopers, it’s not the craziest idea, I suppose. If you want to get technical, it leaves a number of inaccuracies on the armor, but the flip side is that he’s based on an animated design to begin with, so there’s a degree of a grey area there. The most glaring things, really, are the ammo pouch being on the wrong side and the permanently affixed backpack. He does get a different helmet, this time using the more proper phase 1 helmet. It’s based on the updated version of the helmet mold, and it’s been modified to include his rangefinder. The paint work on this figure is decent and fairly basic. Most of the line work is pretty clean, but there’s a little waviness on some of the red lines. I was surprised to find that, even though the helmet is glued in place, the underlying head is still molded in flesh tone plastic, rather than just matching the helmet color like other troopers without removable helmets. I assume it’s somehow linked to the mold’s original use, since the other ARCs have all gotten removable helmets. Fordo is packed with two small blaster pistols, a medium rifle, and a long rifle. He’s still saddled by only the one trigger finger, and he doesn’t get Fordo’s usual modified pistols, but it works out alright.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I loathe dealing with exclusives, and Walmart exclusives top that list, so I did no hunting for this guy in-store, even though he’s Fordo and I love Fordo. Instead, I played the waiting game, and it paid off, as I was able to snag a sealed one from All Time through a trade-in. He’s got his flaws, but I’m very forgiving when it comes to Fordo. There’s no denying he’s quite fun.

#3566: Sabine Wren

Posted by Ethan Wilson in Reviews and tagged with , , , , ,

SABINE WREN

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0045:  The vintage Star Wars line featured only three instances of removable helmets: Leia as Boushh, Lando as a Skiff Guard, and Luke in Stormtrooper Disguise.  The Retro Collection has re-released two of those and added two additional figures.

I don’t have a lot in the way of Sabine Wren coverage here on the site, or in general in my collection.  It’s not from a dislike of the character, so much as, I suppose, a contentment with the figures I already have.  I do like to pick up a new figure every once in a while, though, and her appearance on Ahsoka gave us all sorts of new potential venues for figures.  Let’s dive into the retro side of things, I guess.

THE FIGURE ITSELF

Sabine Wren is the fifth figure in the Ahsoka-tie-in of Star Wars: The Retro Collection, which hit late last year.  This is Sabine’s third figure at this scale, and the the third with the 5POA set-up.  Also, the second with a removable helmet, for what it’s worth.  The figure stands just shy of 3 3/4 inches tall and she has 5 points of articulation.  She’s got another all-new sculpt, this time more clearly inspired by Kenner’s later run vintage figures.  It captures her updated design from the show quite nicely.  There’s some fun little details, like the lightsaber hilt sculpted onto her belt.  As touched on above, she gets a removable helmet, which works pretty well.  Her head’s a touch smaller to accommodate it, which is in keeping with the style of the older figures, and the helmet’s a touch larger.  It’s a good look, and the helmet stays in place snuggly.  Her paint work is pretty respectably handled.  There’s a good mix of colors and accenting, making for some fun pops of color.  Sabine is packed with two blaster pistols.  They’re in different colors, an exaggeration of the slight tweak in detailing on the blasters in the show.  She’s also got a lightsaber, which continues the Bespin Luke style of saber.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

This figure and Chopper were really the ones that sold me on this whole assortment.  They just jumped out as being rather fun, which was appreciated after I’d kind of lost momentum with the Book of Boba Fett set.  I rather like this one.

#3561: Chopper (C1-10P)

Posted by Ethan Wilson in Reviews and tagged with , , , , ,

CHOPPER (C1-10P)

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0040:  There are two characters in Ahsoka whose original actors reprise the roles.  The first was David Tennant as Huyang, and the second was Dave Filloni as Chopper.  You gotta keep those Daves around!

Can you be into Star Wars toys and not just love a good Astromech Droid?  Of course not!  Every good story’s got at least one of those plucky little guys rattling around.  And no one rattles around more than C1-10P, aka Chopper, resident Astromech of the crew of The Ghost.  Chopper has been surprisingly light on toy coverage, but with new appearances in Ahsoka, we get another opportuntiy for cool toys of the feisty droid!

THE FIGURE ITSELF

Chopper is figure 4 in the Ahsoka tie-in assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection figures.  Chopper’s had two prior 3 3/4 inch scale figures, both based more specifically on animation.  This one’s…well, he’s not exactly live action, I suppose.  The figure is about 2 inches tall and has 3 points of articulation.  Chopper is clearly taking a page from how Kenner handled R2 and R5 in the vintage line, which makes sense, given the style they’re going for and all.  He’s appropriately shorter and boxier than those two, but very much in keeping with their more simplistic and geometric shaping.  He’s using the classic “tube” body, which is hollow on the inside, much like the original R2, which adds to that authentic feel.  Chopper’s paint is simple and minor, largely relying on molded plastic for the bulk of it, and some small bits of detailing on the head.  The largest bit of detailing is in the form of a decal on the body of the droid, again really hammering home those vintage R2 comparisons.  Chopper’s one accessory is a removable third leg.  While the vintage Astromechs generally didn’t have this feature, the R2 that came with the Droid Factory playset *did* and it was handled in a similar fashion to this one, making it a perfect little extra to include.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

Chopper was the figure I was probably the most looking forward to from this set, and he’s ultimately the one I most enjoyed as well.  There’s just something delightful about just how faithful he is to the vintage aesthetic, and it makes for a figure that’s simple but just so amazingly effective.

#3556: General Hera Syndulla

Posted by Ethan Wilson in Reviews and tagged with , , , , ,

GENERAL HERA SYNDULLA

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0035: Hera’s live-action actor, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, is married to Obi-Wan Kenobi actor Ewan McGregor.

Hera Syndulla’s jump to live action was one of my two favorite things about Ahsoka (the other being Captain Rex’s jump to live action, however brief it may have been), and I’ve been all about the toy coverage for her.  I of course got her Black Series offering, but what’s a Star Wars character without some 3 3/4-inch action?  Since I’m not much of a Vintage Collection guy, it’s Retro Collection for me, I suppose.

THE FIGURE ITSELF

General Hera Syndulla is the third figure in the Ahsoka-tie-in assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection.  This is Hera’s third time getting a smaller-scale 5PoA figure, though this one is specifically based on her live-action appearance, awesome bomber jacket and all.  The figure stands a little shy of 3 3/4 inches tall and she has 5 points of articulation.  Like most of the rest of the set, her sculpt is all-new.  It’s not quite as strong as Marrok, I feel, but that certainly doesn’t make it a bad one.  She’s definitely living up to the vintage Kenner stylings that the line is aiming for, while still maintaining the important design elements from the show.  Obviously, in keeping with proper Kenner style, she doesn’t get a proper Winstead likeness, but at the same time, she doesn’t look unlike her either, which hits that sweet spot.  And, much like Karga and Boba from earlier assortments, her holster is designed with a loop that can actually hold her gun, which is a very fun touch.  Hera’s color work is pretty basic, but pretty on the mark for what it needs to be.  The colors are pitched up a bit to be a bit brighter than on screen, which is right for the style, and the basic paint work is decent, with no notable slop or bleed over.  Hera is packed with a small blaster pistol.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

Hera was one of my top two figures from this set, and I was certainly looking forward to her, even if she was pretty basic.  The final figure is one of those ones that hits pretty much exactly where I expect it to.  She doesn’t blow me away or anything, but I didn’t expect that.  She’s a good, solid, middle of the road figure.

#3551: Marrok

Posted by Ethan Wilson in Reviews and tagged with , , , , ,

MARROK

STAR WARS: RETRO COLLECTION (HASBRO)

Fun FiQ Fact #0030: Marrok is our fourth Inquisitor in the Retro Collection line-up.  Sure, he may be lapsed, but it counts!

Can you be just a pretty face if no one’s actually seen your face?  Because I feel like that’s kind of what Marrok’s deal is.  Not that it’s a bad thing.  This is Star Wars, after all.  Looking cool is, like, thing number one!  I personally really like Marrok’s brand of cool, so, despite his more minor role in Ahsoka, I still am all about the Marrok figures.  I looked at his Black Series figure already, but here’s his representation on the smaller side!

THE FIGURE ITSELF

Marrok is the second figure in the Ahsoka-tie-in assortment of Star Wars: Retro Collection.  The character had a lot of presence in early marketing for the show, so his inclusion is a pretty sensible one.  The figure stands 3 3/4 inches tall and he has 5 points of articulation.  He’s sporting an all-new sculpt, and it’s honestly one of my favorites that this sub-line has put out.  It does a really good job of translating Marrok’s on-screen design into the vintage Kenner style.  It keeps all of the important elements, while also simplifying enough to make him fit in with the rest of the line.  It makes for a very sleek, really fun look, and plays into the whole “black knight” angle so nicely.  Like the larger figure, he’s topped off with a cloth cape piece.  Like the rest of the figure, this piece fits the vintage aesthetic very nicely, and it goes on and off very easily.  Marrok’s color work has been dialed back a bit, going for a more drastically contrasting shade between the undersuit and the armor, which is more of a gunmetal grey finish here.    Marrok is packed with an Inquisitor-style saber, which appears to be the same piece used for Reva in the Kenobi set.

THE ME REMAINDER OF THE EQUATION

I dug Marrok’s design a lot, and he was definitely nearer the top of my list.  He’s a ton of fun, and I very definitely dig him.  He’s a good design that makes for a very good figure, and he’s just a great example of when Retro Collection just really works.
