Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Veers (AT-AT Driver, The Vintage Collection). The Imperial Officer buck from a few years ago is retooled with one of the best original trilogy human likenesses we've ever had. The helmet is removable. There's no chin strap or micorphone. The armor is fused to the chest. But it looks amazing, so you probably want to upgrade your 2006 Veers or your 2010 generic AT-AT Driver. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greedo (The Vintage Collection). This is the figure from the HasLab, now available outside that Cantina set. It's a really nice figure, although I would have liked them to have done something different with the sculpting for his yellow trim. Other than that, it's the best Greedo we've ever had at this size.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Subcontracting vehicles! I doubt it, but others are doing some good work with other licenses. Also How did you get here? Well, I had to do something.

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: Han Solo (1995 Classic Edition 4-Pack). A semi-infamous collection of figures due to their smaller stature and altered colors from the 1970s and 1980s originals, these figures are an interesting curiosity today.

This Toys "R" Us exclusive Han has a "Kenner blue" blaster, only it's a different blue... and the original Han never had a blue blaster. Despite predating scanning technology, Han retains a surprising amount of detail that we saw lost in the 2019 The Retro Collection reissue.

This figure also aged incredibly well, at 31 years old I feel no oily residues or squeaky joints. Further, the 4-pack is still somewhat cheap if you're in the market for some oddball variations like these guys. I should have given them a look earlier, but I have to admit they're far more interesting in 2026 given the thousands of figures that have come since his debut. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend, The Vintage Collection). He might be at a Ross near you, because life is weird. This is a great figure! He shares parts with other figures, but he also has new parts and deco like a distinctive set of goggles and a vibe that matches that one statue that was super expensive that you probably didn't buy. He's neat for $20, but for $5? Buy two, he's great. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - The future of stores! Well, maybe, it hasn't got much of one. Also Is 3-D printing ready for prime time? Hasbro might not get to everything before you turn 65, first-gen fans, so is it time to do it yourself?

Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Ad: Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Deluxe Baze Malbus 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure is up now you can pre-order yours today. While not his first 3 3/4-inch figure, it is his first release with more than five points of articulation at this scale.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Hoth Gear, Shaven, The Vintage Collection). It's from a 4-pack, and has a body that was 11 years old when it was new... and it still looks pretty good. It has the obvious limitations on articulation granted from being an older figure with classic hip joints and swivel wrists, but it's still a pretty nifty figure to fill out your snow dioramas. The goggles don't fit so well though. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yoda (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection). Is he $19ish worth of figure? Not really, but the shiny paint looks really cool. The clear limbs are fine, but I think it might look better if he wasn't part ice sculptor. The designers did a nice job showing one kind of material transitioning into something more ethereal, though, and it's an impressive figure all the same.. Read on!

Via The Verge: Hasbro’s CEO has an AI Peppa Pig help design toys - Chris Cocks on AI, KPop Demon Hunters, and why Harry Potter still matters. It's long, but it has a lot of information about what he's planning at Hasbro beyond Wizards of the Coast brands.

It has virtually nothing about Star Wars or Marvel, but you do see how they're threading the needle that is Harry Potter and mention of other new IP development here and there.  It's long, but if you're interested in hearing what one of the most powerful toy titans is thinking?  

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Price Drops! Don't get your hopes up, cheese. Also HasLab soon? (Also don't get your hopes up.) And fun with retail.

Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week. Could we be nearing the end of this long-running feature? Heck if I know.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mandalorian Shriek-Hawk (Blue and Brown Chest Armor, Pale Yellow Right Shoulder, The Vintage Collection). He doesn't have his own name - that I know of. Sure, it's made from a lot of old parts, but so were the costumes. If you missed the set initially, I have good news: it's still available, and it sells for less than I paid for it. If you look at this Amazon affiliate link, it's $42.25 - I paid $64.99 back in 2024. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Night Trooper (All-White Helmet, The Vintage Collection). It's a 2024 release with four figures, all of which have at least some unique parts - the ribbons are differently configured per trooper, and the helmets are painted differently. This one has a helmet that's mostly white, with a little gold on it. That's good! But it uses a mold that's feeling more than a little old. He could use a hip replacement. Read on!
