Star Wars Year 1998 Episode 1 Movie Series "The Phantom Menace" 12 Inch Tall Action Figure - DARTH MAUL with Cloak and Red Double Bladed Lightsaber Review

Star Wars Year 1998 Episode 1 Movie Series The Phantom Menace 12 Inch Tall Action Figure - DARTH MAUL with Cloak and Red Double Bladed Lightsaber
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have come to loathe all things "Prequel," but when the hype surrounding the (then) upcoming Episode I was at its peak, I enthusiastically bought all of Kenner's 12" figures in the Episode I line. One of the best of the bunch is the Darth Maul figure.
Pros - This is a really good looking figure. The head sculpt is great, and looks a lot like the character, the Sith robes are nice, and you have to love the double-bladed lightsaber design. It's also very poseable.

Cons - The lightsaber hilt has a tendency to warp. I saw this even in brand new figures, where the hilt was curved so much it looked like a half-smile.
Despite my feelings about the movie, I have to admit these are some of Kenner's absolute best 12" Star Wars figures. The Sideshow Collectibles 12" Star Wars Darth Maul Figure has since surpassed this one, but for the price this Darth Maul figure is hard to beat.

Star Wars Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Gear Limited Edition Collector Series Action Figures Set Review

Star Wars Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in Stormtrooper Gear Limited Edition Collector Series Action Figures Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Once the late `90s 12" Star Wars figure line started to explode in popularity, Kenner decided to issue several figure 2-packs and distribute them exclusively (for a time, at least) through specific retailers. These sets drove collectors crazy, as they often featured characters that fans had long requested.
This set featured Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise from their Death Star infiltration in A New Hope.
Pros - They're dressed as Stormtroopers, for crying out loud! That alone makes this set worthwhile. Yes, the Stormtrooper armor is rubbery, but they still look cool. There are also some neat accessories, including a long rifle, blaster pistol, removable helmets and a little Death Star Mouse Droid.

Cons - These figures use the same basic Luke and Han head sculpts, so they don't look all that much like Luke and Han.
Both Luke and Han have since been released under the Action Collection banner, so this set isn't as essential as it once was. It's still a neat 2-pack, and the packaging is nice. Serious collectors will no doubt prefer the Sideshow Heroes of the Rebellion Collectibles Star Wars Deluxe 12 Inch Action Figure Luke Skywalker & Han Solo as Stormtroopers set, but this is a more affordable alternative.

This is a two figure collector's set produced by Kenner for KB Toys in 1996. Both figures are 12" in size. These were produced in a very limited 20,000 set run and are very hard to find.

1996 Star Wars 12" Action Figure Collector Series - Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Gear Review

1996 Star Wars 12 Action Figure Collector Series - Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Gear
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Luke Skywalker figure (in X-Wing Pilot outfit) was part of the early wave of Kenner's 12" Collector Series line. It's not the work of art that the later Sideshow figures are, but I really enjoyed the `90s 12" figure line.
Pros - This is a terrifically detailed figure. The flight suit is accented with several unique accessories - map, rank cylinders, that box and hose apparatus, etc. He also has a helmet with retracting visor (way cool, though he looks a bit top-heavy wearing it), blaster pistol and lightsaber with detachable hilt. This figure is fully loaded!
Cons - It doesn't really look all that much like Luke Skywalker. That's my only gripe though.
It's not perfect, but the Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Pilot outfit is still one of the better figures from the Collector Series line, and until Sideshow gets around to it, it's the only 12" Luke in X-Wing gear figure available.

Star Wars Admiral Ackbar Collector Series 12" Action Figure Review

Star Wars Admiral Ackbar Collector Series 12 Action Figure
Average Reviews:

This Admiral Ackbar figure was part of the early wave of Kenner's 12" Collector Series line. It's not the work of art that the later Sideshow figures are, but I really enjoyed collecting the `90s 12" figure line.
Pros - This is a fantastic figure all around. The head sculpt is amazing, as are the detailed forearms. The outfit is nice as well. The figure is sized right and has good articulation, and looks great on the shelf with his fellow rebels.
Cons - None. I suppose a datapad or some other accessory might have been nice, but still, I think Kenner got everything right this time.
Even though Admiral Ackbar is an arguably minor character in the Star Wars universe, this really is one of the best-looking figures from the Collector Series line. I imagine Sideshow Toys will put out a definitive version at some point, but this one is hard to beat.
PS - It's too bad Kenner never made a 12" Lando Calrissian in General's uniform. It would have gone great with this figure.

Star Wars Han Solo in Hoth Gear 12" Action Figure Review

Star Wars Han Solo in Hoth Gear 12 Action Figure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
One of the highlights of Kenner's late `90s Star Wars Action Collection 12" figure line are the Hoth-themed figures as seen in the Empire Strikes Back. I loved the snow-ready `80s figures as a kid (I once lost a Han Solo figure until the spring thaw), and was (mostly) impressed by these 12" figures.
Han Solo in Hoth gear was an obvious choice. This figure previously appeared in the Star Wars Collector Series "Han Solo & Tauntaun" 2-pack (this was when the line was still called the Collectors Series), but was later issued in the open-front green box of the Action Collection.
Pros - This figure has a fantastic outfit and is loaded with gear. It comes with goggles, helmet, blaster pistol (that fits in the holster) and "Bespin style" blaster with a goofy red missile. The Han that came with the Tauntaun did not have the Bespin gun, but came with binoculars that this figure is missing.

Cons - It's still the same basic head sculpt as the early Han figures, which doesn't look all that much like Han.
I kept this figure on my shelf for years, but when the DC area was hit with consecutive blizzards earlier this year, my son and I took the Hoth figures outside and had an epic Empire Strikes Back battle. Now that brought back memories!

Star Wars The Original Trilogy Collection: Luke Skywalker Review

Star Wars The Original Trilogy Collection: Luke Skywalker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
With the looong release of the "Star Wars" trilogy on DVD, Hasbro decided to celebrate with a retro-trilogy toy line release that includes deluxe 3.75" figures as well as three deluxe 12" figures. The first in this line is Luke Skywalker from the original "Star Wars".
Luke is packaged in the original window style flap box and comes in a protective black box with a see-thru front and the new "Star Wars Original Trilogy" logo sticker on the bottom front of the box.
Luke is wearing his original white Tatooine tunic with his tan pants and boots and carries his dad's blue lightsabre and grappling hook, to help Princess Leia out of a rough spot.
The outfit is made of cloth and I wondered why Hasbro gave Luke the grappling hook this time around. Since there are only three other figures in this set & one of them isn't Princess Leia, I can only assume its for nostalgia reasons. The other high point to the figure is that his arm and leg joints are bendable and aren't like the original stiff moving figures. I recommend getting the entire set.
The "Star Wars Original Trilogy" figure sets are the more attractive "Star Wars" sets released by Hasbro in quite some time.
If your a die-hard "Star Wars" fan don't let these figures get past you.

This obiwan is the first ever to NOT be an episode 4 one. And it is awesome. The detail is great, as is the fact the clothing is cloth, not stuck on.
PROS: Everything
CONS: Nothing!
100% Reccomended. The other 12 inchs you should get with this one are the Qui gon, and the Darth Maul, then you can redo the battle of Naboo!

I have come to loathe all things "Prequel," but when the hype surrounding the (then) upcoming Episode I was at its peak, I enthusiastically bought all of Kenner's 12" figures in the Episode I line. My favorite of the bunch is the Qui-Gon Jinn figure.
Pros - This is a really good looking figure. The head sculpt is great, and looks a lot like the character, the Jedi robes are nice, and I love the new lightsaber design. It's also very poseable. I thought the real hair was an especially nice touch, though I could see that ending up badly depending on how much it was played with.
Cons - I suppose he could have been a bit taller (Liam Neeson is a tall dude), but other than that I have no complaints. Kenner did a great job with this one.
Despite my feelings about the movie, I have to admit these are some of Kenner's absolute best 12" Star Wars figures. The Star Wars Qui-Gon Jinn 12" Action Figure has since surpassed this one, but for the price this Qui Gon Jinn figure is hard to beat.

The new 12-inch collector dolls from Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace have taken the previous lines' attention to detail to gratifying new levels of authenticity. This rendition of Episode I's Qui-Gon Jinn features the Jedi Master wearing belted, tan fatigues underneath a hooded, flowing traditional Jedi robe; his hand clutches a lightsaber to do battle against the evil Darth Maul. The facial features of this Qui-Gon are especially well done--unlike most previous Star Wars dolls, this large collectible Jedi figure features real doll hair. --Jerry McCulley

1997 Star Wars 12" Action Figure Collector Series - Tie Fighter Pilot Review

1997 Star Wars 12 Action Figure Collector Series - Tie Fighter Pilot
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This TIE Fighter Pilot figure was part of the early wave of Kenner's 12" Collector Series line. It's not the work of art that the later Sideshow figures are, but I really enjoyed the `90s 12" figure line.
Pros - This is a really cool looking figure, if you can get past the big rubbery head. I think a harder plastic removable helmet (just put a generic head underneath) would have been cooler, but this one still looks good on the shelf with the rest of my 12" masked Imperials.
Cons - The figure has fairly short arms, and the outfit isn't on par with the 1996 Star Wars 12" Action Figure Collector Series - Luke Skywalker in X-Wing Gear figure in terms of detail.
It's not as impressive as the Japanese Star Wars Medicom Real Action Heroes Deluxe 12 Inch Collectible Figure Tie-Fighter Pilot, but this TIE Fighter Pilot figure is still one of the better figures from the Collector Series line.

Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Zuckuss 12" Action Figure Review

Star Wars Bounty Hunter: Zuckuss 12 Action Figure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Zuckuss, another lovely member of the six ex-bounty hunter's guild members gathered in The Empire Strikes Back, takes the redemption-offering, fund collecting stage in this new release. He's actually a really impressive looking figure, too, one that, when viewed from the front, is undeniably Zuckuss and is truly needed by anyone who loves their cinematic, bounty-seeking companions.
While shopping I happened across him quite by accident, the bland boxing attempt almost disguising this coveted figure amidst the throes of other newly released toys - as seen in many and many an overlooking nightmare since then. Still, when my eyes happened upon that face looking out through that plastic glaze, his nonmistakeable eyes meeting mine, I knew I had to have him. Out of the box I was delighted, too, only finding flaws in the way the back of the head and his coat meet and with the little chicken legs he has underneath that cover. Yes, the head looks more like a mask than anything when viewed at the wrong angle, and his legs are little bland stick-digits under his coat. Still, I rarely look at him from the top and I only curiously looked under his coat once(it covers him really well), so I was thrilled, the colorations meshing proportionately with his back/breather (not really removable) in a way that made my other figures envious and me forget any objections. He also comes with a weapon as well, something that he can hold quite well - a feat in and of itself - and he even stands up when the price is right.
This is something most bounty hunter enthusiasts will like, plus its something for anyone wanting to pit the forces of the corruptible against the Rebel menace gathering against a poor, unfortunate, perhaps freedom-crushing empire.

Three years after Death Star's destruction, the Rebel Alliance continues the fight against the Imperial forces and suffers a defeat on the ice planet Hoth. Luke Skywalker journeys to the planet Dagobah to train with Jedi Master Yoda, who has lived in hiding since the fall of the Republic. In an attempt to convert Luke to the dark side, the evil Sith Lord, Darth Vader, lures Luke into a trap in the Cloud City of Bespin. In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with Vader, Luke faces the startling revelation that the Sith Lord is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker.
Zuckuss is a strange bounty hunter that uses the mystic religious rituals of findsman traditions that date back centuries. He has uncanny abilities that make other bounty hunters uneasy. Zuckuss is a tireless tracker and is oddly effective. Bring him to life with this fully poseable 12" action figure. Comes with authentically styled outfit and heavy assault blaster rifle.

Star Wars: Power of the Force > Nalan Large Doll Review

Part of the famous Cantina Band (as seen in Star Wars: A New Hope) this figure was part of the early wave of Kenner's 12" Collector Series line. Kenner released six of these guys. They're all the same basic figure (though I'm sure their mothers could tell them apart), but each has a different instrument. The idea was that serious fans would be compelled to buy all six.
Pros - The head sculpt on this figure is pretty realistic, the outfit looks good, and it's very articulated. The detail on the various instruments is also impressive.
Cons - The hard plastic head looks a bit off. I think a softer material - like what they used on the Star Wars 12" Collector Series Figure - Greedo figure - would have worked better. Still, that's a minor complaint.
These Cantina Band members are not essential figures by any means, but if you're collecting the 12" Star Wars figures you're probably going to want at least one.
Edition Notes: The early versions of the Cantina Band figures came in the original style packaging (with a photo on the front flap) and were exclusive to a particular retailer (I don't recall which one). Later, Figrin D'An (but not the others) was released in the open-front green box, and was available everywhere.

Star Wars Tusken Raider Collector Series 12" Action Figure Review

Star Wars Tusken Raider Collector Series 12 Action Figure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This Tusken Raider figure (as seen in A New Hope) was part of the second wave of Kenner's 12" Collector Series line. It's not the work of art that the later Sideshow figures are, but I really enjoyed the `90s 12" figure line.
Pros - I love this figure's rough and detailed outfit, and the head sculpt was pretty impressive too. The accessories were also well done. Early versions came with a (too short) "gaffi" stick, while later releases had an Imperial blaster. Both versions came with binoculars.
Cons - The figure suffers from limited articulation. They used a G.I. Joe figure body, which meant rubbery, less-poseable arms and legs. You can't get him to hold the stick in two hands, for example.
It's not perfect, but the Tusken Raider is still one of the better figures from the Collector Series line, and until Sideshow gets around to it, it's the only 12" Tusken Raider figure available.
