Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Emperor (The Retro Collection). It's very similar to the originals, which, oddly, are pretty cheap on eBay. The 2023 reissue has smoothed out the textures on the robes and the wrinkles on the hands and face are less wrinkly. If you have an open original you probably don't need the reissue, which looks incredibly similar to the genuine article unless you squint. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

And if you like Batman, there are some 4-inch scale figures from The Flash movie coming soon. If it's still 1989 in your Batcave, this might interest you.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mara Jade (The Black Series). It's a good figure despite being parts from Aphra/Jaina with a new head and new paint - it's just not as "accurate" as it could be. Then again, for a comic/novel character, there's more than a little wiggle-room and at a glance, she's kind of fantastic. Read on!

Via the Glyos News Dump: Healey Made Bulloch Assassin and Raider Returns. The Raider (Assassin) was also restocked, and they match! They also match the Trooper (Bulloch) from a few months ago, so with any luck, this is the last of the Bulloch colorways for a while.
This is a 3 3/4-inch scale action figure sculpted by a former Kenner employee. The head and limbs are removable via Glyos pegs, which I assume you know about, but you should go look them up if you don't. The figure has an alternate helmeted head and a blaster, and actually fits in pretty well with your old Kenner guys and ReAction Figures. The figures are $25 each and come packaged in a clear plastic bag.
And if that weren't enough, you can click here to see a bunch more Healey Made news and info at the Glyos News Dump.
