Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Oola (Custom). This is a figure Jabba wanted but Kenner was unwilling to make. A fan made one last year, and then a few more, and it's pretty close to what you might expect out of Kenner from 1983. The color is a little wrong, the headdress is a tiny bit off, and the sandals may not quite match - but the same was true of a few figures back then.
She fits in perfectly with your older Return of the Jedi figures, and sadly is priced more or less accordingly. I like it - I wouldn't buy it if Hasbro charged $40. But Hasbro won't make one, so it's this or nothing. Is it worth it? Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection). This is gorgeous figure at a hideous price - the mark-up on a $12.99 figure from a few years ago makes little sense, but from a technical perspective it's a nice product with great paint on a lovely cardback. We also got a Marvel Boba Fett about 15 years ago packed with a droid and a full-size comic for about $12 - so this definitely got slapped with some premium pricing. At least it's gorgeous. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (and Luke Skywalker, The Black Series). This one comes with Luke, who was marked up $20 for his accessories like Grogu, and might be on clearance at a store near you. Read on!
New from Disney: R8-H23 Star Wars Droid Factory Figure! This one has a wreath, and looks like it belongs in a holiday display. Or a Strawberry Shortcake display. Either way, it's pretty cool and it's $14.99 - and probably in the parks, too.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Garindan (Custom). This is another fan-made, mass-produced figure but this time you can tell from where the parts originated - there are pieces of the 1997 Kenner The Power of the Force Garindan mixed in with a vinyl cape, a black Cloud Car Pilot comm, and other new and old elements. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider Warrior (Single Card Edition, The Vintage Collection) . This is the single-carded one, which I opened right as I forgot for a split-second I meant to open the Target version with the Massiff first. Whoops. Either way, it's still Rey with new parts on her - a pretty impressive redress, but a redress all the same. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jabiim, The Black Series). He looks a lot like the character from the show, and so do the other figures based on this series which sometimes share parts. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom). It is an actual, real, Kenner-style figure made from an unlicensed source - and since an official release of such a character in this specific costume is unlikely, it's worth a look. It's a lot better than nothing - in fact, it's pretty excellent (albeit very expensive.) Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection).Boba Fett returned from the dead a few times, and this one is based on Dark Empire from 1991-1992. If you pre-ordered it, you likely paid $2 more than it costs in the store right now - which is a lot - but it is a pretty nice figure. Read on!
