The photo is just a […]

Bandai announced through their hobby site the release of a 1/12 prop verified scale Scout Trooper and Speeder bike plamo kits from the iconic scene from Return of the Jedi. The finished Trooper figure itself is fully articulated so not only can he hop on his sweet ride, but can also stand alone to keep a watch over things on your shelf. He comes with 5 different interchangeable hands (a pair for riding the speeder bike, a pair of relaxed hands, and a left hand for gripping a blaster). The bike is also 1/12 scale and features articulated thruster flaps. It comes with a posing base to match the wooded terrain of Endor.
This sweet set is scheduled to be released on June 27th at a listing price of ¥5,400.
Japan continues to change the concept of toys. I get that these card games are played with, but does that make them toys? Seems like quite the stretch if you ask me. OK, so Yo-Kai Medals aren't technically cards, but they're basically the same thing. I feel like they should add a separate ranking just for cad games because I can't help but think that really cool actual toys are being pushed off in their favor. It probably wouldn't effect the overall ranking any, but it would make the boys listing more interesting.
Oh well, here are the lists:

Two Gundam, two girls, and one Gunpla that's both a Gundam and a girl. Nice job mixing up the hobby ranking, everyone. Next week: More Gundam, more card games, and probably something Super Sentai related.

Surprising no one, except maybe that it's not Acid Storm or something first, DecepticusPrime has found a store inventory listing for a Leader Class Skywarp, completing the trio from Thundercracker and Starscream. At this point it's most likely going to coincide with the first wave of 2016 Combiner Wars product, though as early as Magnus has hit, it could surprise us. And while Starscream comes with the distinctive crown, there's no indication if Skywarp will have a flight of stairs to push other figures down.
