Ever since 1977 Star Wars fans have loved Stormtroopers. But the problem is, they're all mostly the same. Sure, there are Sandtroopers with their colored shoulders, and Snowtroopers with their erie hoods and half-capes, but really there is just one Stormtrooper. Leave it to Hasbro to find a way to give us a multi-pack full of unique, helmet-removable stormtroopers by making the Joker's Squad of Stormtroopers from the Legacy comic books. We review these figures this week.

Also this week we look at other offerings from Hasbro including some new Titaniums, the Target exclusive remote controlled Astromech droids, the Target exclusive Jabba's Rancor, and the TIE Fighter Bust from Gentle Giant.

And remember the Star Wars Action News video idol contest where you can win great prizes and prize packs from sponsors Most Wanted Collectibles, Brian's Toys, Kotobukiya, and Sideshow Collectibles. Prizes include:

• A set of Clone Wars Jedi Art-FX Statues from Kotobukiya

How many figures are there?

Hasbro has challenged us. "We'd be very interested in hearing what the general fan consensus is on the topic...perhaps something for {you} to poll {your} user base?" How do YOU interpret the line of Star Wars figures, and how do you count them? After you've told us that, then tell us: how many figures are there?
