Walgreens Star Wars Black Exclusive: Proto Boba Fett Announced

Via StarWars.com

Hasbro and Walgreens are teaming up with yet another exclusive!  This time is figure from the 6" Star Wars Black line, Proto Boba Fett. This seems like a good choice to go with because it's not really a "must have" figure, so those without access to a Walgreen's aren't missing out too much, but it's still a really cool toy to have in a hardcore fan's collection.

Check out the information, promo photo, and screen-test video below:

MAFEX Darth Vader Star Wars Action Figure

We just did a report on the Joker from Medicom and now we have some new pictures of a MAFEX Darth Vader action figure.  Medicom has sent out a preview image of this fantastic looking figure.  The information we have is that it will be 170MM (6.5 inches) tall, have a poseable stand, extra hands, a cloth cape, removable helmet, and lightsaber.  This figure should be released in December for about 4,500 Yen (around $44 USD).  This should fit right in with Hasbo's 6" Star Wars Black figures.

For the Star Wars Fans

Right now there a bunch of great Star Wars Black figures available for a cheaper price than you'll find in stores.  This series is some of the best stuff Hasbro is currently making.

For the Game of Thrones Fan

Like the Star Wars figures, these Game of Thrones action figures are much cheaper than what you would pay in stores.  A huge plus with these is that they are the same scale as the Star Wars Black and both lines were done by Gentle Giant so they look great together.  You can have a Luke Skywalker vs. Ned Stark face-off!

For the Fan of Japanese Imports

These are just some of the great action figures from over seas that are available for pre-order right now.  The Ultraman is by far one of the best versions of the figure ever made.  The Power Ranger figures are far superior to anything the U.S. has in toy stores. The Super Mario is a great representation of the iconic character and is very affordable for an import.  The Legend of Zelda: Link is just super cute.

Custom Action: Star Wars Shadowtrooper

I knew as soon as a bought a few extra Star Wars Black Series Sandtroopers (at a great Amazon price of only $12 each) that I was going to have to make one of them into some sort of custom.  I figured the quickest and easy one would be one of my personal favorites, a Shadowtrooper.  Nothing too tricky here, I just washed the figure, painted the whole thing gloss black, and applied some silver to the helmet using a silver paint pen.  It was really quick to do and the results are great in person, but photographing black is still pretty tricky for me.

Shadowtroopers were a branch of Imperial shock troopers deployed during the Rise of the Empire era. Shadow Trooper units were deployed on various operations under the command of an Emperor's Shadow Guard. A number of them were used in various skirmishes against Galen Marek. Shadow Trooper armor was laced with durasteel fibers  unlike the stygian-triprismatic polymer material used in the production of the shadow stormtrooper armor.

Yoda Revealed to be Upcoming Star Wars Black Figure

A new 6" scale Star Wars Black Series figure was revealed on Star Wars Day via the official Star Wars Instagram.  He looks pretty accurate to the original movie version.  It's great that he comes with the lightsaber and the snake, but I wish he came with a bit more.  He's much smaller than the other characters so you don't feel like you're getting as much for your money.  He should at least come with a backpack the Luke can wear to carry him around in.  I'm still excited to get him, he is Yoda after all.

“In celebration of #StarWarsDay #Hasbro is excited to exclusively reveal the next figure in The Black Series 6-inch line, with the help of Tom Kane and his #BlackSeriesSelfie video!Don’t forget to post your own #BlackSeriesSelfie photos! #Yoda”
