Big Love! Star Wars Valentines. Yarna & Malakili HD Figure Review
Another figure and vehicle we reviewed on our YouTube Channel recently, now it gets a rinse here. Head on over and subscribe and you can get these straight in to your mailbox the minute we upload them.
We did this review as you may have guessed on Valentines day as they were mostly ignored when they came out by many, and often left peg warming (certainly in Yarna's case). So we thought it only fair to tag team them up and give them some review love on that romantic day. Check out our doubly big High Def review and see if it's one for your collection?

Dewy got Back! Star Wars Dewback & Sandtrooper HD Figure Review
If you are a subscriber to our YouTube channel we gave this awesome creature a review a few weeks ago, now a chance to share it with others here.
I seem to be on a Tatooine creature catch up with recent purchases of the Rancor, Jabba's Throne and now this Dewback. As a young kid, seeing Sandtroopers with these huge dinasouars on screen blew me away. With very little other material or images to find out more about them, and many years before they were made the dewback in to a toy, a kick ass realistic version was always on my purchase list.
Yet another USA Walmart only exclusive it seems which never reached our shores, sigh... thanks Hasbro, my nearest Walmart is only 15,500km away! I finally managed to find this on an auction for a paltry $19USD and $12 USD shipping. Bargain! Not only is this big green beastie great looking and articulated, he comes with the vintage collection sandtrooper. Reviews of both are below

Belgian boner. Star Wars Jabba's Rancor & Luke Skywalker HD Figure Review
If you are a Subscriber to our YouTube Channel we gave this a review a while back, and whilst not the newest figure, just one we finally managed to get hold of...
One that never reached Australian shores, (we got a Toys' R' Us Felucian Force Unleashed variant only it seems) I happend to watch a friend on YouTubes review of his collection and noticed the Rancor (Hi FallenJed1!) This led me to these great images at the awesome Yakface.com. I had no idea there were variances and long story short, another good friend DarthConlan wanted one too, and well here we are, Rancor review time, shipped all the way from Belgium!
This has to be, to me, one of the finest pieces of work by Hasbro. The brown variant with it's wet, leathery looking colouring and detail is quite an achievement. A great looking creature and one of my first in Star Wars, which is also packed with articulation, and a great Luke Skywalker figure and Bone. Our usual 1080P HD review shows all the detail and the accessories and attachments that come with him.
