Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Battle Droid (The Retro Collection). This one's a little weird - the sculpt looks similar to the 1999 figures, but the backpack took design cues from Boba Fett. It's melting into the back, and while it looks weird I do enjoy the design decision as it's based on an actual Kenner product. Also the Battle Droid has a far more interesting pose than most Retro figures, with a bent elbow that gives him a lot of personality. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Queen Amidala (The Retro Collection). She's in that six pack at Target you may find now, and has a lot of very 1980s details like the wavy fabric pattern on her leg interiors as well as the Leia-ish poses of her hands. She also has some thing no original figure had, like the extended collar element and her long hair. Overall, it's a pretty great figure. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (The Retro Collection). As part of the new Episode I retro 6-pack, this is a pretty nice figure - the lightsaber and fabric cloak are great accessories, while the figure has a nice head sculpt that looks like it would fit in with a lot of the originals. The hair would've broken right off the head were it made in the 1980s probably, so just be happy that this one was made in modern times. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jar Jar Binks (The Retro Collection). I have been seeing a steady trickle of this figure at Target, where it's an exclusive closed-box six pack with six individually carded figures inside. This is one of the better ones - his hands are more modernized than most retro figures, but he's still pretty charming and fits in more Mini-Rigs than I anticipated. Read on!

Ad: Entertainment Earth has added tons of new Star Wars items because it's May the 4th, and you can pick some up right now! Pre-order Star Wars: The Mandalorian Zeb Orrelios Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure #716 - Entertainment Earth Exclusive, or Star Wars The Black Series Darth Sidious 6-Inch Action Figure, with more items coming later.

UPDATE: Now open to all customers.

Hasbro Pulse has the shared Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars Episode II & Episode III Multipack up for pre-order right now - but only for Hasbro Pulse Premium members. Usually these things go up for everybody later, but now it's restricted and it's $59.99 - not a bad price compared to other 6-packs. If you like this set, Target most likely has its The Phantom Menace set in stock at a store near you right now - but this set is coming later this year with Jango, Anakin, Padme, and more.

Hey hey, it's the fanstream - and pre-orders are coming tomorrow. What's new?

Shop Disney/Hasbro Pulse split The Retro Collection 6-pack, with a nice-but-odd mix of Attack of the Clones Mace Windu, Jango Fett, and Padme Amidala with Revenge of the Sith Anakin Skywalker, General Grievous, and Clone Trooper. I'm looking forward to this.

As they warned, The Vintage Collection HasLab got punted to... we don't know when. But that's probably a good idea, because a lot of pre-orders are about to go live and we've only got so much money. A X-Wing Pilots 4-pack with a Duros and a green-skinned lady from... OK I admit I have no idea.

Pipeline reveals include Ahsoka's take on a live-action The Clone Wars Anakin Skywalker, a 4-pack of Shriek Hawk Mandalorians, and most enticing, a Pulse/ShopDisney exclusive Mandalorian Forge playset. Can they support the playset in a small exclusive offering? We shall see!

For The Black Series...

Ad: Pre-order the Star Wars The Black Series Boba Fett Helmet Prop Replica! This 2020 release brings you all the fun and detail of a high-end prop replica at a price that's not all that bad. It's supposed to be a toy, but the articulated rangefinder and heavy weathering means it'll look great in your IKEA cases, and it won't be obvious that what you have isn't a high-end replica.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (The Retro Collection). To celebrate 25 years of the movie, as tomorrow is 25 years of Midnight Madness, we're going to review this 6-pack - currently at Target - until we look at 'em all. Maul's details are a little soft, but he has a better pose and is generally interesting to fuss with. He can't fit in the Sith Infiltrator though. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jannah (The Black Series). I didn't open mine until pretty recently - it's a decent figure, but you can also see how the modern Star Wars design ethos has a lot of overlap between movies, as she could just as easily be on the same shelf as Rogue One characters with her chunky tech gear off of more or less familiar clothing.. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Epic Hero Series). He's widely available at Walmarts, has huge feet, and is a little wobbly - but he's Darth Vader, and as such is worthy of your attention. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection). This is just like the last one, but they swapped the Amban Phase Pulse Rifle with a Darkaber from Moff Gideon. It's a good figure, but if you've been all-in so far, you have all of these parts. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Count Dooku (The Vintage Collection) . This figure is excellent - I got a bum one with two identical upper arms, and I still was thoroughly impressed by the likeness, detail, deco, articulation, and especially the cape. It's by no means perfect, but considering the last movie Dooku we had was over 10 years ago it's an easy figure to like. Also it seems to be selling out, so go get yours before it's gone. Read on!
