In celebration of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker releasing in theaters this weekend we are taking a look at another character from a different time in that galaxy far far away.  No, not Baby Yoda! We’re talking about the Star Wars The Black Series Heavy Infantry Mandalorian from the Disney+ series The Mandalorian.  

This figure was pre-ordered from BestBuy.com for $29.99 in November.  This heavy duty Mando his highly posable and comes with his jetpack and Gatling gun accessories. Below are some photos we’ve taken of the figure in action! This is the way!

I recently picked up the new Target Exclusive Star Wars Black Series Luke Skywalker Death Star Escape (AKA Stormtrooper Disguise). This is an updated version of the Black Series Wave 2 Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper Disguise figure from 2014-2015. This new version has a great new head sculpt (with slicked back hair) and weathering on the armor from being in the Death Star trash compactor.

Accessories: Removable Helmet, Blaster, Commlink, Figure Stand

Check out the figure photos below, which were taken using our new photography LED light box! Let us know what you think of the new Luke Skywalker action figure in the comments below!

Star Wars The Black Series 6" Lando Calrissian | Solo: A Star Wars Story

With Solo: A Star Wars story less than a month away I thought we’d take a quick look at an action figure of one of the most anticipated characters of the movie. That’s right I’m talking about everyone’s favorite smooth talkin’, double crossin’ former smuggler, Lando Calrissian.
This figure of the young Lando was the only thing I wanted to find on Force Friday 2018. Thankfully after three stores I managed to scare one at my local Target. I am extremely impressed with this figure in terms of sculpt, articulation, accessories, and likeness to actor Donald Glover. The latter is thanks to Hasbro’s Photo Real paint-application process being used on Black Series Figures starting from The Last Jedi, but has been used on Marvel Legends figures for a while longer. 
This version of Lando is by far my favorite of the 6” Black Series line to date.  Check out the photos below to see why I’m so impressed with this action figure. 
What are your thoughts of this new young version of Lando? What new Star Wars items did you pick up on Force Friday this year? Let us know in the comments below!
