Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,185: C1-MNST4 (Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 31, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1-MNST4 (Droid Factory). This is last year's Disney Halloween droid, based on Frankenstein's Monster features on Chopper's body. There's very little paint here, but a lot of color makes it a nifty toy that you hopefully got before the parks stopped selling them. Happy Halloween! Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,184: Jedi Master Sol (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 29, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jedi Master Sol (The Vintage Collection). He looks pretty good - and you might even find him in a store now. Well, I've seen him in a couple of Walmarts, anyway. Read on!

New Toys R Us Video

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 29, 2024

One of my best friends who I've known for a couple of decades and visited many a toy store went to the new, just-opened Toys R Us. He made a video!  Check it out to see some Doctor Who, Playmobil, Funko, and a lot of other stuff.  Shaun let me know that The Black Series basic figures were marked $32.99, and that they did carry some The Vintage Collection figures too.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Pricing - who is to blame? I don't know, but I bet it was an honest mistake. And what all-knowing changes would you make to alter the future? Let's find out!

Also, there were lots of news items this week. A new Toys R Us opened near Chicago, Hasbro let over 100 employees go, another Star Wars movie writer left the project, and more - and of course, I ramble about it all.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,183: The Mandalorian (Arvala-7, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 24, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Arvala-7, The Vintage Collection) . This figure is shipping now and possibly in stock online - I haven't seen him in stores yet. He has a Beskar pauldron and revised hip joints, plus a different paint job compared to the 2020 figure. It's the kind of thing you probably expected back in 2019, but at least you can get it now and it's worth it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,182: Blurrg (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 22, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Blurrg (The Vintage Collection). This is a pretty exciting toy, in no small part because it feels new. There was one in Mission Fleet but this is the first-ever 3 3/4-inch scale Blurrg. This one is from The Mandalorian, but you may remember it from The Clone Wars or Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. This may also be the single most interesting The Vintage Collection toy to come out for the rest of 2024.

It's sturdy, the articulation is good for a creature of this nature, and the paint is excellent. If you can find one, you should probably pick one up as we've gotten virtually no new creatures (or vehicles) in recent years, and this one is really fun. While it does come with another Mando figure - and we'll look at him shortly - it was also retooled to work with the creature, so at least it's a little different. Read on!

Q&A: Star Wars Reveals, Licensing, and... Well You've Seen It

Transformers Collaborative STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 17, 2024

One of the quirks of this hobby as it grows is that licensors and licensees are seeking new audiences for all properties, all of the time. There are people who like Transformers but may not buy Optimus Prime or Dinoking, there may be people who really like The Mandalorian but don't want a LEGO set or an action figure. That's why Transformers Collaborative STAR WARS: The Mandalorian N-1 Starfighter exists. There were a line of Star Wars Transformers that kicked off about 18 years ago that went from mecha pilots to stand-alone guys in various sizes, and then the American market had a hard break.

So what's the deal with this new one? It's 7 1/2-inches tall and $54.99. That means it's roughly the size of a small Leader-class toy (so, not the Dinobots), or a large Voyager, or very close to the $89.99 Commander Class Optimus Prime toy. That means it's pretty big as most Collaboratives tend to be, and it's due next year. Also it seemingly sold out at Hasbro Pulse, but is still at Walmart. If history is any indication, Walmart stores may not necessarily stock it, and it may not necessarily be exclusive forever - Back to the Future Gigawatt eventually made the rounds, you can probably find TMNT Party Wallop in a store near you right now, and Ecototron wasn't half bad. 

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,181: Osha Aniseya (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 17, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Osha Aniseya (The Vintage Collection). She is showing up at Walmarts and online stores right now, so the good news is you can find her. The better news is that she's excellent - the face is good, the wig looks decent (better in person), her accessories are exactly what I want, the vest fits well, and the articulation is good. This is a shining example of Hasbro doing everything right for a new streaming series show, because it came out within two months of the series concluding - which is also pretty good for the modern era, but not good enough when fans do so much of their buying before the movies would hit theaters. If you skipped the show (and it looks like that is most of you), this is still a good figure. If you hated The Acolyte, it remains a very good figure. Read on!

Star Wars Review: X-Wing Pilot (Miralan, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 15, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: X-Wing Pilot (Miralan, The Vintage Collection). It's Luke with a new head, but the new head has a great separately molded wig piece and great face paint. If she's from a specific moment in the series, I haven't been able to pinpoint her, but she looks perfectly nice as another action figure that, technically, fits in with your old trilogy stuff.
