You've seen the original film, and maybe the Holiday Special... but how about The Richard Pryor Show? In 1977 the comic was given the masks, with which he mixed-and-matched costumes, to make a comedy sketch that shows some extended shots of many famous rubber faces. It also shows how cheap the masks were when not edited properly, but you'll see familiar faces like Pons Limbic (Brainiac), Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead), and Muftak - with pants and suspenders, no less. I don't know how "canon" any of this is, but remixed aliens are a fascinating thing and you can see them below.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hot Wheels Princess Leia (RacerVerse Blockade Runner Tantive IV). It's Wheels Week, and this is the reason why - I saw her in a store and said "wait, what else have I missed?" It's basically a 1980s McDonald's Happy Meal toy, but with the quality of a Hot Wheels car, and also it's a ship you don't see as a toy very much. It's a winner. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hot Wheels Han Solo (Twinduction). It's Wheels Week, so let's go through my stash of cars and see what was sitting around - this one is not the best, but it has some nice graphics on the card and on the side of the car itself. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Refreshing the Core Cast - will it happen? Also Parsing the Parts in the Cantina - do you wait to buy the part you want, or buy the whole thing and part it out?

Also, we're out of questions for next week. But we do have ramblings on May the 4th and some other things.

...in a handy alcove of the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Cantina Playset, now open for crowdfunding!  Apparently you can fit all seven Modal Nodes members - if you had the foresight to buy them, like any other good hoarder - in one of the many alcoves included in the set.  It's a little smaller than what we saw on screen through the magic of movie editing, but it looks like they fit.  It also looks like the set displays quite nicely in chunks, possibly giving you a better display option than having it all set up like you might build a movie set.  Check it out.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Epic Hero Series). You can probably find him in a store now, and he's pretty good - he has a backpack for Grogu, and a lightsaber, and looks just like a decent toy. Get it if you have a few bucks. Read on!

Ad: Pre-order the new production of Star Wars: The Black Series Osha, Cal Kestis, Plo Koon, and The Acolyte The Retro Collection figures! New stuff, reruns, and more ThunderCats are on deck.

This morning Slashfilm surprised fans with their story The Acolyte's Osha And Adorable Droid Pip Are Now Star Wars Action Figures [Exclusive]. The big highlight is a six pack of figures from The Retro Collection with Osha Aniseya, Mae, Mother Ainiseya, Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon, Jedi Master Sol, and Yord Fandar.

From The Vintage Collection we also get a look at Osha, and pre-orders are coming soon on these figures.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-RNBW (Pride Collection). It's Pride season, and this is probably the most colorful droid we've ever been offered - there are a ton of individual paint applications and some extra gray squares I may not be hip enough to identify. Regardless, it looks cool - this little robot has colorful boxes, vents, and outlines all over and really stands out in a sub-category known for being pretty colorful. Should you get one? Well I would. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - The Cantina Floor - why not? Also markdowns - price corrections happen!   We also have extensive ramblings on The Acolyte, which I am guessing you either didn't watch, didn't enjoy, or didn't decide to make a decision yet.  Either way, good on you.

I kid with the headline, but we've been asking Hasbro for Brea and Senni Tonnika since Galoob made one in Action Fleet in 1997. Or I have, at any rate. They're two of the includes (along with Wuher) in Hasbro's STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina. The base option is $399.99, the deluxe option adds another chunk of booths for another $100 at $499.99, and there are three stretch goals - a Greedo (read below for more on him), Nabrun Leids, and a real shocker, the missing wolfman Arleil Schous.

Is it all worth it? Will this be in a question and answer format? When should you backfill your missing alien stash? Buckle up, this one gets long.   Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection). Based on his appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, this Kenner-style figure isn't quite as Kenner-y as some others - he more or less fits in, but lacks the detail and distinctive body language of the old guys. But it's a $12 Cad Bane, and he can stand and sit, and has a swell hat. Also he's one of the few figures where a vinyl cape might have been good to serve as a coat - but in this case, the coat is molded to the figure so it doesn't get in the way of him sitting in your old vehicles.

Ad: Pre-order the new production of Star Wars: The Black Series Hunter, Crosshair, and Dr. Aphra! Familiar faces are ready to order right now, with delivery expected later this year.  Order yours now!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jango Fett (Deluxe, The Vintage Collection). It may not be configured to match either of his specific looks in the movie, but all of the parts look good. The helmet is lacking his post-Kamino dent, but you do get the second jet pack - and a lot of nice articulation and painted detail. It is very nice, but given you likely have cheaper figures that are truer to the scene, you'll have to weigh "better proportions and slightly better articulation" against "already have something like it in your closet."
