Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Elite Squad Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch). When is a Clone not a Clone? When it's this guy! This uses the 2020 upper body and the original double-jointed knees, making it a bit more than just a repaint. If you haven't seen The Bad Batch, this one may be new to you - but it looks cool, so get one. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Kylo Ren (The Black Series / Titanium Series / 40th Anniversary). The die-cast metal 3 3/4-inch figure has a display stand, an alternate head, and a backdrop that reminds me of the 1990s etched foil cards from Topps. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R9-Series Astromech Droid White with Purple Panels (2015 Edition). The dome may not be super familiar outside fans of the classic Expanded Universe, but that's what makes it neat! Also it's very purple. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Death Star Droid (The Vintage Collection). It's a repaint of a figure from over 10 years ago, but it's a nice one - so maybe you won't mind the reduced articulation since it genuinely looks great. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (2.0, The Vintage Collection). He's got a new head, new arms, and fancy improved soft goods - it's worth getting if you can find this Walmart exclusive! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Offworld Jawa (Arvala-7, The Vintage Collection). This figure will require the egg - which it includes! It also includes two figures worth of blasters, but only one Jawa. It's a good figure, but is it worth $14 for a single Jawa when our last new release was a two-pack? Read on!
Sith lords, crime lords, let's just say he's good at lording it up. Darth Maul (Mandalore, The Vintage Collection) is up today! Like Ahsoka, this one is incredibly impressive - the vest is a separately molded piece, the paint is incredible, and the articulation is top-notch. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Mandalore, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, she is loaded with articulation and has some of Hasbro's very best painted detail at this scale. If you see her, buy two. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Prototype Edition - Green Head, The Retro Collection). There are at least six color configurations - and mine looks like a Crayola box! Read on!
A classic has returned! Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, figure takes a 2010 Jedi Luke and adds a new head and new accessories - and it's pretty great if you can find one, exclusively at Walmart. Read on!
We're back! Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #4 is ready to read. Why should you read it?
It has things in recent Hasbro streams that you can't be bothered to sit for an hour and watch, in a format that you can skim through on your iPad on the toilet. I'm here for you, fellow olds. Highlights include: the HasLab Razor Crest delay, Macy's new toy section, an all-new Bib Fortuna, and so many of the new Hasbro announcements from over the summer in a handy checklist form - so you can see if any of it matters without wasting the amount of time it would take you to catch up on What We Do in the Shadows! Aren't I thoughtful?
Via ShopDisney: Fi¿Star Wars Droid Factory Halloween Figure – R6-W1CH. Right now, the droid is $12.99 plus shipping - not a bad deal, considering previous ones tend to sell $20 or more (much more) if you wait too long. Sadly many of us missed R2-RNBW, the Pride droid, and I'm still cranky. (Please sell me one if you have a spare. Loose fine.)
Happy Halloween! This means the Christmas droid is likely to show up real soon.
