Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This figure answers the question "Does Hasbro still got it?" with a "Yes." She has optional masks, a cloth cloak, two daggers, incredible costume deco, an amazing likeness, and a well separately molded hair piece. Given the size Hasbro is working with I'd say this figure is as good as the modern era can be expected to get - and you might, maybe, find her in a store near you as The Acolyte stuff has been slower to move. If you see her, you should give this figure a look - it's good. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Tonnika stories! Why did Hasbro say "no" for years and finally deliver? ...would you believe I don't know? And Kid Stuff - you should give it a shot!

Also, we're out of questions for next week. Send in new questions.

I'm cobbling together some stuff for a possible feature on 3D printing parts for newbies (like me) so if you have any questions - or things you want to make sure get shared - send those my way too.

UPDATE:  There's a free shipping offer Monday, February 17 until 8:00 PM Pacific time. I just got mine. Order yours, save ten bucks.

UPDATE #2: As of February 20, the droid has sold out.  Keep an eye on Disney parks if you're in the market for one.

The Disney R2-BNE Star Wars Droid Factory Figure. Retailing for $14.99, it includes a debut hat. Adding to the holiday collection with what I assume the first-ever Easter droid - unless I missed one - should be a welcome addition to any collection. New orders are welcome. Shipping is about $9.99. Purchases may also be available at Disney parks or Downtown Disney locations, so keep an eye open. Right now, there's a free shipping code for $75+, "SHIPMAGIC." I don't think you'll want to miss this one. Details of the bio weren't shown, but it seems to indicate this is R2-D2 in Easter colors. Eggs-actly what I would want.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series). This is a new release that's actually easy to find - most Target stores seem to be getting solid cases of just him. (But, oddly, not the Mando bike.) The figure is pretty good, with nice paint and a slick off-white coloring that looks sort of like the battle-worn armor on the show. It also includes a Stormtrooper blaster instead of the Bike Scout pistol, but it's still a neat figure with a nice toy bike. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (The Vintage Collection). It's the first new version of this specific Luke at this size in years - it's been over a decade since he was in The Vintage Collection as a single-carded figure. Heck, the last best version was in a The Legacy Collection Battle Pack, so you're going to be pretty happy with this very good upgrade. Also exciting, it's a character from the movie called Star Wars, of which there are annoyingly few these days. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - should Hasbro make Star Wars exclusive to Fan Channel and/or Hasbro Pulse? No. And where are electronics? Not here!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This is a really nice figure - she has a vinyl cape and two knives, with separately molded hair. She is in a six-pack sold online, so get her while you can. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series). It's an actual toy! It comes with a bike that has wheels. He has elbow and knee joints. It's a big improvement over last year's figure, but I haven't yet seen this one on store shelves. His companion, the Imperial Speeder Bike, seems to be abundant at Target though. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - are you figures accessorized enough? I wouldn't expect packs of gear to be in the cards either way. Also spare parts now for the future - should Hasbro stockpile more?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bo-Katan Kryze (Single, Epic Hero Series). The figure itself is identical to the version in a two-pack at Walmart with Moff Gideon, but this individually carded release has a unique accessory. Is it worth buying twice? Well, only if you're that kind of person. It's a good figure though, and it might be at a Ross near you for around four bucks - which is absolutely worth the wait in line. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Trooper (Phase II/Revenge of the Sith, The Retro Collection). It's decent, but it has a neck - something most Kenner-era troopers lacked until Return of the Jedi. He's a little scrawny and while it looks like a clone, it's probably my least favorite figure in the collection. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - are old figures getting price drops? Well, one retailer makes it difficult to find out. Also the future - is it going to be like the past, only more so?

Ad: New Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series and Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Action Figures are now up for pre-order! Captain Rex, Shin Hati, Clones, Mandalorians, and Jedi are up for grabs - go get yours!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (The Armorer's Forge, The Vintage Collection) . While not much of a figure - and technically, an accessory - he's interesting. He actually has a a unique torso with a new torso with the beskar armor, rather than another unadorned brown potato sack. I wouldn't say it's necessarily worth paying $60 for the figure, but with the playset and the Armorer, at least it's unique and different from the many Grogu toys you may already own. I am kind of surprised we haven't gotten a lot more variations of Grogu - him eating, playing, or what have you - as accessories to other toys. As such, it's neat to see something like this. Read on!
