Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's Dagobah Luke, in black, with a different lightsaber and a ysalamiri for your Thrawn figure. I'd recommend it, even if Luke does look a little young for a post-Return of the Jedi timeline.

What's today's popsicle-colored figure?  This one: C2-B9 (Droid Depot Line Look). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's part of one of the very best robot boxed sets they have released to date, which includes two astromech droids and some big, all-new molds. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Captain Rex! Why is he wearing new clothes? The Imperial Dignitary! After not seeing a revision of the 1984 figure after two and a half decades, how hopeful should we be? And Boba Fett's Starship! Am I going to step in something?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Remnant Stormtrooper (The Retro Collection). This version looks like the old Kenner one, but comes on a retro card and is dirty. Also it comes packaged with a board game. It was originally exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Shop, but now you can get it at Entertainment Earth and potentially elsewhere. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars, The Black Series 6-Inch). This Target exclusive is still super-tough to come by... as are the others. Read on!

This week in Q&A - obscure characters! Sometimes we get surprised. Retro-style figures! I pose 5 joints in the morning. I pose 5 joints at night. Spoilers! Not necessarily. Nothing is quite that obvious.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: FN-2187 (Finn Stormtrooper, The Force Awakens). It's Finn with a removable helmet, from about five years ago - it's still a good figure. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 4-LOM (Droid Factory Line Look / Droid Depot). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's probably the best-painted one yet. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Lightsabers! Of course there's more. Joining the business! How do you do it? The tenacity of the cockroach. Figure upgrades! They happen.

Happy 4th!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Enfys Nest (The Vintage Collection). This version has more articulation, gauntlet weapons, and a better cape than the swoop bike pack-in version. But sadly, no removable helmet! It's still worth getting. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Carnor Jax (Kir Kanos, The Black Series 6-Inch). The box copy is for Carnor Jax, but the figure and image are clearly Kir Kanos, which is clearly the Emperor's Royal Guard with a new cape and a new staff. Good enough? Maybe. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (50th Anniversary, The Black Series 6-Inch). It lacks the alternate hand from the last release, but has new - and arguably improved - detail on the head that will make paying the premium price potentially worth it if you can still find one at a Best Buy somewhere. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Exclusives outside conventions! Don't hod your breath. Cool exclusives! They are still a thing! Costs! Things are getting a lot more expensive.

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is out of on-topic questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Hovertank Pilot (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Toys R Us exclusive I hadn't gotten around to opening until just now - and it just got reissued this year. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a retool, and a pretty good one with a decent body upgrade and nice deco. Not bad for a modified 2013 release! Read on!
