Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: CU-28 (Droid Factory, Carded). It's from season 3 of The Mandalorian. Greef Karga's droid pal probably won't appear in the mew movie, but you can see it in the existing episodes. The coloring is great, and it sold pretty quickly. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant Snowtrooper (The Vintage Collection). This one takes last year's new Snowtrooper from The Empire Strikes Back, changes up a lot of the colors, and gives it a new, unmasked helmet. It's distinctive! It's not obvious that they're different colors without a side-by-side comparison, but I appreciate the differences and a new helmet and new colors is more than we usually get - so this one is neat. Grab one if you're interested in the post-Empire era. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Are we too judgey? Probably! And How's the new movie line looking? Well... it's not big, that's for sure.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Eleventh Brother (The Vintage Collection). While due to appear on Maul: Shadow Lord, so far we've only seen this crow-like not-a-Sith in the streaming Tales shorts. He doesn't get to do much other than be menacing, so in a lot of respects he's a lot like Maul with his creepy facial markings, black costume, and generally imposing frame. As a figure, he's a guy in a black suit with a cape and claws - he's neat, but a variation on a theme we've been subjected to quite a bit over the past decade. The extra stitch in his cape does wonders for giving him a slightly better look, and the articulation is as good as a figure gets in this line these days. It's neat - if you have a connection to it.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver (The Vintage Collection). This one is really good, with no straps to get in the way of sitting in a vehicle. I'd love to see a TIE fighter pilot improved to the extent to which this guy has. The colors match your imagination's ideal AT-AT Driver, with white (not gray) armor and pretty bright markings. He's got a holster now too, the only thing missing is an AT-AT. The last one we got was the straight-to-clearance AT-ACT from 2016! At least ew got this guy. Clearly it's pilot season. Read on!
Good news insomniacs - Disney+ puts Maul: Shadow Lord up late Sunday/early Monday, so you can watch the double-episode debut right now if you like.
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Packaging limitations! You can't fit everything in a coffin bubble! And angel in a half-shirt - why do our figures get novelty t-shirts? Gotta appeal to the normies. But if you need something new, Blokees are making the rounds.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: QT-KT (Droid Factory, Carded) . Hasbro had one a few years ago with a similar layout, but different shade of pink and different gimmicks. This one has a build-a-droid part, and costs more. Which comes out victorious? Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection). This one is interesting - the arms, legs, and lower torso are basically just the Snowtrooper from last year. The helmet and chest look a lot like the Shoretrooper or any of a number of Rogue One-era Imperials. The walker itself is impressive, yet expensive. The gaps of the legs were filled with panels, with painted buttons and screens on the console. There's never been an AT-RT with more articulation, plus it has really amazing snowy gunk paint on the legs. And on the other hand, it's $68. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Vehicles and playsets! Lost to the ages? Also is it time for Hasbro to take a break? Probably never, that one's on you.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.
