Imperial Hovertank Pilot Review

   Hey there everybody! Just arrived this week from Toys R Us, a figure I've been very much anticipating-The Black Series 6" Imperial Hovertank Pilot from Rogue One! The figure has been reviewed highly, And he definitely meets expectations. Take a look for yourself! 

Standard Black Series package, with Toys R Us seal and no figure number.

 My favorite thing about the figure is the weathering, the slight armor discoloration makes it look straight out of the New Hope era.

Panzer Vor!

Side by side helmet comparison with The Black Series 6" Stormtrooper.

The Great Tank Robbery. 

As you can see, this figure is pretty spectacular-Especially for Trooper fans. The patina and detailing are heads and above some of the best we've seen in capturing the look and worn feel of screen used armor. 

If you are looking to pick up a tank pilot, you have two options-Try your luck finding it on shelves at Toys R Us, which proved fruitless for me until at last it became available online! I used ship to home, which was free for any order over $19. It shipped quickly and safely, so I do recommend. Get him if you can! 

Thanks for reading, be sure and VOTE on Tuesday, and May the Force be with You!

6" The Black Series: Rogue One Wave One!

Thanks for looking, have a great day, and May the Force be with you!

Rogue Friday Recap

Sorry for the long delay in posts everyone, was off on a grand trip out west with Rey here. But now I'm back and we have lots of Rogue One loot to cover! Let's start with a look at how the weekend release went...

Walmart, nearly as expected, had no idea Rogue One was even a thing. 3.75 figures were put out though, and managed to get my priority- Sabine, along with K2-S0. Along with a whole group of various collector of all sorts hanging around, we waited until Midnight. Finally some employees were nice enough to go through the back and pull some stuff out. You guessed it...Chewbacca masks. And one box that some employee had tried to hide the Black Series in. Stuff was found, but the mismanagement of the Walmart distribution of toys still boggles my mind. 

The next day however, as hoped for, Target came through! A huge amount of goods in plentiful numbers were snatched up in moments. With the awesome $10 or $25 coupon happening yet again, they have established themselves as the best place to buy Star Wars toys on release days. 

And with a display like this, who could doubt it!

Disney Springs World of Disney was an unexpected pleasure island! They had everything...EVERYTHING.

Once Upon a Toy's stock was faster moving, but equally impressive...

And a big hooray for those who don't yet have it...The Starspeeder 1000 is back!

The new Rebels Speederbike repaint...

More display goodness...

And finally, my Rogue Friday loots!

That's about it for the recap, though the hunt for more new stuff continues. Look for reviews and pictures coming later, with more store reports! Until then, happy playing and May the Force be with you!

Friday Favorites: 6" Black Series ANH Stormtrooper

   Happy Friday everyone, stormy here in Florida but keeping calm. Starting out our first weekly feature: Favorite Friday! This is where I'll pick out a favorite from my collection and talk about it. First up is the Hasbro Black Series 6" A New Hope Stormtrooper!

As you can see, he looks great. Been a favorite ever since I got him in mid 2015. My favorite aspect is his double jointed head articulation that can give you great poses.

 He's no doubt a great action figure, and I think one of the most accurate troopers they've done. With Rogue One coming up there will be lots of demand for this figure, so it's being rumored if it does get a re-release it will likely be a pack in for a retailer exclusive. If you are still in need of one, Entertainment Earth actually has in stock andat retail price as of posting. That's about all for now, stay safe, be well, and May the Force be with you!
