Oddly this Finn (Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch) seems to have already dried up around these parts - as the only Hasbro Finn from The Rise of Skywalker, at least to date, you might want to get one if you stumble on one.  The 5-inch line has been reported as being as low as $3-$5 at various Kroger-owned grocery stores and Walmarts, and they're well worth that price.  Particularly Finn, as it's a nicely-sculpted figure with great articulation and no problems standing.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - New Vintage Reveals... are probably not coming until Toy Fair. You got a lot late last year, most of which you forgot already. And ...more Vintage figures? I guess it's a theme week. The Rise of Skywalker definitely left room wide-open for more characters in that scale.

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. Our mail bag is empty. Read on!

The not-so-new MSE Droid (The First Order, Galaxy's Edge, The Black Series 6-Inch) is amazingly well-decorated, with astonishingly good wear-and-tear paint right on the body.  It has wheels, it's small, and you can get it at Galaxy's Edge in a big expensive pack with another Kylo Ren.  Read on!

Check out 3PO (Color-Changing Droids, Droid Factory, Galaxy's Edge)! He goes from black to gold, and uses the build-a-droid molds you've come to love.   A cold black droid turns gold in your hands, and it looks a little muddy if you hold it just right. It's cool.  Read on!

We generally don't cover clothing here, but this was too much to ignore.   Ewoks cartoon imagery now appears on Box Lunch-exclusive shirts at a mall presumably near you, or this web site.  Very little has been made in the Nelvana cartoon style in ages, with precious few items made inspired by that series.  It's also worth noting that the shirts are pretty pricey and sadly there were no companion Droids items yet.

This week in Q&A - Mandalorian expansions! I would not count on a new expansion. And Baba Yaga - what's new with everybody's favorite witch?

The Digital Bits strikes again! Check out  Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back – A Visual Guide to Changes, Fixes, and Tweaks in the Disney+ 4K Version. Compositing changes, new explosion, old bloopers, and fixes that skipped a generation are shown in pretty decent detail.

This isn't a guide to the big obvious stuff, but you'll definitely notice relocated TIE bombers, altered cropping in the Millennium Falcon cockpit, and fixed rank badges on various Imperials in scenes that were flipped.  (Of course, Boba Fett is still wrong in Return of the Jedi.)  Anyway, check this out.

Before The Rise of Skywalker, we had no idea what the deal with Knight of Ren (The Vintage Collection) was.  And now we still don't.  How does this not-quite-Darth Maul-looking guy shake out as a figure?  Quite well. Read on!

Possibly Zorii Bliss' little pal, the BB-19H (Droid Factory Line Look) is one of the better holiday droid figures.  With a clear red body and golden head, it's a Christmas Ornmanet Robot.   If it's still available, go ahead and grab it before it disappears.  Read on!

Healey Made is back with a couple of new figures - No.71240 & No.93850.   These are wrestling-themed figures which take inspiration from 1980s Kenner releases.  The numbers should be familiar to those who collect carded releases.  You can see if they're still available in the Healey Made Store.

This week in Q&A - Will we see the great pit of Carkoon again as an action figure toy? And yellowing - this topic comes up a lot! (Seriously, friends who aren't collectors came from out of town and we talked about yellowing plastic over dinner. I'm great at parties.)

The Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, The Black Series 6-Inch)  is possibly at a Walmart near you right now! It's an exclusive and it's a big upgrade over the previous edition, which had no vest, no cloak, and no blaster for the same price.  I like the new head a lot, even if he does have a little more color than I would expect for the scale.  Read on!

Celebrate the end of the saga with a figure that comes from the movie that was the end of the saga back in 1983 with Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, Galaxy of Adventures 5-Inch)!  This $10 Walmart exclusive looks pretty sharp and comes with a snazzy vest.  Read on!

This week in Q&A - The Mandalorian Toys! Will there be variants and upgrades? Not so far! And aging done in real time - maybe it's not what you expect.  Also there's a new movie this week, under the shadow of the baby.

The Jet Trooper is a new figure, but what do we know about it?  Not much.  It flies, it's in the movie, and it has a quick-draw attack - and rocker ankles.  Read on!
