New from Disney: R8-H23 Star Wars Droid Factory Figure! This one has a wreath, and looks like it belongs in a holiday display. Or a Strawberry Shortcake display. Either way, it's pretty cool and it's $14.99 - and probably in the parks, too.
This week in Star Wars Q&A - What will we get for VC 300? I don't know. But probably not that. And do dead droids do their duty as X-Wing co-pilots? Yes.
Be sure you send in your questions, the mail bag is empty. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!
Ad: Star Wars The Black Series Holocomm Collection Han Solo 6-Inch Action Figure with Light-Up Holopuck! He's just one of several new blue figures shared between various retailers, but he's also the best. Orders of $79+ ship for free with the code FALLFREE79!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Garindan (Custom). This is another fan-made, mass-produced figure but this time you can tell from where the parts originated - there are pieces of the 1997 Kenner The Power of the Force Garindan mixed in with a vinyl cape, a black Cloud Car Pilot comm, and other new and old elements. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider Warrior (Single Card Edition, The Vintage Collection) . This is the single-carded one, which I opened right as I forgot for a split-second I meant to open the Target version with the Massiff first. Whoops. Either way, it's still Rey with new parts on her - a pretty impressive redress, but a redress all the same. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Why Dooku? Why not? Also should we expect more Retro figures from older movies? I hope so!
There has not been any New York Toy Fair coverage here because I got super sick and missed a few appointments - and from looking around, it was not a huge year for Star Wars. Or action brands, in general. September/October is probably the wrong time for a trade show in this business.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jabiim, The Black Series). He looks a lot like the character from the show, and so do the other figures based on this series which sometimes share parts. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Pegwarmer predictions! Well, things making it to stores would be a nice problem to have. Perceived packaging problems - is it a packaging variant that's keeping you on board after all these years?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom). It is an actual, real, Kenner-style figure made from an unlicensed source - and since an official release of such a character in this specific costume is unlikely, it's worth a look. It's a lot better than nothing - in fact, it's pretty excellent (albeit very expensive.) Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection).Boba Fett returned from the dead a few times, and this one is based on Dark Empire from 1991-1992. If you pre-ordered it, you likely paid $2 more than it costs in the store right now - which is a lot - but it is a pretty nice figure. Read on!
