Toy Bender

What’s that? You thought you were done getting slapped in the face with the heavy hand of fantastic Hasbro figure power? Well, you were dead wrong. I’ve got the final round up of figures that I managed to capture on a tiny memory card.

On the left, you’ll notice the cool ass Boba Fett in his animated colors. Yum.

Crap, is it gay to yum a male action figure?

If you were a fan of the prequels, don’t worry you aren’t left out in the cold. One of the figures that I always wanted, but never could find at retail is being re-released, TC-14.

There was the much sought after… oh fug it. Who needs this figure?

I think this R2 unit is from The Phantom Menace. Do I really care? No.

Did you need more Battle Droids for your clones to beat up on? There’s a Battlepack on the horizon to help fill your needs.

This figure gets my nuts all kinds of twisted up. It’s the revisionist Anakin Skywalker from the end of the Super Special Turbo Hyper Fighting Edition Return of the Jedi.

For you Star Wars comic nerds, there was plenty of two pack action. Here’s a few pictures of characters that I can’t comment on, because I know nothing about them. One two pack photo that ended up being blurry was the one that I was most excited about out of the E.U. comic packs, the Darth Vader and Leia from the Star Wars Infinities comics. On a related note, I missed getting a non-blurry image of both concept Grievous and Grievous pre-robot body. Curse my shaky hands!

I was really excited to see the return of some figures from the Clone Wars series done in the non-animated style. Here’s Anakin Skywalker from about the only time I ever thought he was cool in any of the prequel adventures:

The best of the Clone Wars figures has got to be Yoda on his trusty mount Kybuck. This thing is so cool that Led Zeppelin wrote a song about it before it existed. How did they do it? Magic and lots of booze.

There was also the cool hammerhead alien Jedi, who my fiance likes to call a scooter head. Please don’t ask why.

To round out the cool Star Wars: Unleashed figures was the Jedi who I should probably know the name of, but I don’t really care. She’s the one with the tonfa lightsabers, like that wasn’t insanely uncalled for and stupidly dangerous for the user. I can’t wait until they make the figure that has a gun that shoots lightsabers.

Speaking of videogames, and ones that are much superior ones at that, there were two figures from the first Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (or KOTOR if you are really a cool geek). I think it’s appropriate to say they give me a major boner.

There were some minor background characters that collectors can stop whining for so they can focus their attention on even more obscure background characters to whine about:

Finally, there was a pink R2 unit named R2-KT on display that just tears your heart out if you know the story behind it.

All I can say is I plan on getting one of these puppies.
