And now for something completely different...at least for me lately.

It's been a long time since I had an all Star Wars day, especially with all three reviews. But that day is here! I have my review of two new Senators from the Return of the Sith line - Meena Tillis and Ask Aak. I haven't bought may 3 3/4" Star Wars figures, largely due to the lack of cool aliens. But I couldn't pass these two guys up, even if they are stuffy old politicians.

I also have my review of the M&M Mpire PVC figures up over at MPS, and if you would like a second opinion, I also have a great guest review on these from Javier at my site. You can find links to all the reviews at the usual:

I also sent out the emails for all 10 prizes in the big anniversary giveaway. I've heard back from 7 of the 10 so far, so check your email boxes, and watch the site for another giveaway after SDCC next week.

And speaking of SDCC, I plan on doing real coverage this year - or at least giving it a shot - so you'll have plenty to check out next week. Thanks for reading!

Good reviews as always Michael.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Aak Aak and Meena Tills action figures. Usually goofy aliens get the short end of the stick in SW toys but these two are really some of the best sculpted and painted figures in the line.

Hasbro, all in all, really hit SW out of the park with this film series.

These figures are as good as the VOTC figures imo:

#3 Yoda (firing cannon)
#6 Clone Trooper (quickdraw)
#9 General Grievous (four lightsaber attack)
#13 Count Dooku
#14 Chancellor Palpatine
#15 Bail Organa
#16 Plo Kloon
#20 Agen Kolar
#21 Shaak Ti
#22 Kit Fisto
#23 Senate/Imperial Guard
#24 Mon Mothma
#29 Ki-Adi-Mundi
#30 Saesee Tiin
#31 Luminara Unduli
#32 Aayla Secura
#33 Clone Commander
#38 AT-SE Tank Gunner
#40 Mas Amedda
#41 Clone Trooper (super-articulated)
#42 Neimodian Warrior
#44 Destroyer Droid
#46 Aak Aak
#47 Meena Tills

Don't have #45 Tarkin or anything over #50 yet and skipped most of the wookies. Still, 24 figures that are worth getting, that's frankly amazing considering how useless nearly *all* the previous prequel figures were.

Also got the Anakin Evolution set today from BBTS, fantastic figures.
