Hello, what have we here?

StarWars.com is thrilled to reveal runDisney’s upcoming Star Wars Rival Run Weekend medals, all featuring beautiful character art, clever design, and a few surprises. Thanks to the “rival” themes of the races, each medal actually includes two characters or vehicles: the 5K medal features Ahsoka Tano on one side and Darth Maul on the other; Princess Leia and a stormtrooper adorn the 10K medal; Darth Vader dominates one side of the half marathon medal, while Yoda brings light with a flip of the image; the Rival Run Challenge medal features a Resistance X-wing, which can spin to instead highlight a First Order TIE fighter. So whether you’re more Jedi or Sith, Rebellion or Empire, or Resistance or First Order, your medal can show your true allegiance.

Check them all out below, including new, gorgeous medals for the Kessel Run Challenge, Virtual Half Marathon, and kids races.

Review: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) Black Series 6″ Walmart Exclusive

Posted on by
Luke Jedi Knight is one of my favorite figures of all time in any form. This figure is a great addition to the 6 inch line. This one is Luke entering Jabba’s Palace before he gets his right hand damaged, so no gloved hand. The accessories are just the lightsaber and blaster, both are really good. This figure comes with a clear triangle stand, which is a good idea but terribly executed. They put the spot for the foot in the front corner so you can’t have the figure standing in any kind of natural stance. The black figure stand I use in these pics can be bought on Ebay, click here!
 
The cloak is fantastic in my opinion, love the way it lays on the figure. The hood has enough room to pose it in any way you want. The figure itself is really good. The articulation is spot on like most 6 inch figures. The legs are loose in the hip and crotch joints. Which is not a problem with a figure stand. Without a figure stand this figure will be hard to pose. Overall I love this figure. The face could be better, but I’m happy with it and for $19.99 it’s worth it to me.

Review: Black Series 6″ Scout Trooper Archive Edition

Posted on by

This figure was first released as a set with his Speeder Bike, so this is a welcomed re-released single carded figure. Army builder if you will. This is a great figure with lots of articulation and a great paint job. Accessories are his blaster only. I wish he would have more accessories, like a removable helmet and flip up visor. I love the articulation of the knees. You have knee movement above and below the knee for even more possible poses. Thighs pivot side to side which is great, plus the bend at the hips. Like I said lots of great articulation. I wish they would also release a clean white version at some point, but overall this is a great figure and one you definitely need more than one of. I think this one even with only having a blaster is worth the $20 price tag. As of this posting you can grab one now for only $16 at this link via Amazon

Review: Black Series 6″ Yoda Archive Edition

Posted on by

I think this is a great figure with a lot of great detail. Accessories are good, lightsaber is really good (saber separates from the hilt), the cane is good but would be better if it was thicker. Belt is good, but could be better if it was wider. Snake is really good. Robe is good with nice fabric, but could be better if it was made with a thicker fabric. Figure is great with lots of articulation. I can’t compare to the first release, but overall this is a great figure and due for a re-release because the first release was hard to find. Is it worth the $20 price tag? Yes and no. Yes it’s a great figure and Yoda is a must have figure. No, because there just isn’t enough accessories for the $20 price tag. You can pick him up as of this review for $18.59 at this link via amazon.
