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!
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!
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: Greedo (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). The Amazon exclusive seems to be sold through, but it's awesome if you're a fan of the old Kenner guys. A new one on a not-quite-right POTF2-style cardback is up on Hasbro Pulse right now, but in movie colors. Which is better? Amazon's, obviously. Read on!
It's another robot! R1-J1 (Droid Depot Line Look). It's like the Hasbro one from almost 20 years ago, but there are a ton of tiny differences to infuriate or delight you. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greef Karga (The Retro Collection). Vinyl capes are in this season, as are loops on holsters that can store blasters. But you probably can't find this in stores - so should you get yourself one? Yes. Read on!
Like an old Kenner figure, but bigger! Jawa (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's still in stock on Amazon for $20, and I would argue it's very much worth it. Sure, it lacks one of the blasters from the previous release, but those cloth robes are super cool. Read on!
It's that time again! A checklist of new announcements and new releases can be found in Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #3. If you've watched all the streams, you won't find much new here - but there are a lot of new items to order and gawk at, and this is a quick way to find out what you didn't realize you missed. And it's done on a web site that's 1995 chic. Trendy!
Read it on the toilet. It won't take long and it'll tell you all the new Hasbro announcements you wanted to know.
Ad: Get New Hasbro Transformers at Entertainment Earth! This week: Star Wars, G.I. Joe, and Silverhawks are coming up too!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jaxxon (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's one of two characters I never actually expected to see as an action figure - and here it is. It's out right now. But you have to order it online if you want one. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: EG-01 (Droid Depot Line Look). It's boxy, but good - and compatible with the previous Power Droid domes, strangely enough. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: B-R72 (Droid Depot Line Look). It's part of a big droid boxed set being sold at Disney theme parks (or eBay) right now. If you can find it, and squint, maybe you'll see it as a DHL mascot. I like it. Read on!
