This week in Star Wars Q&A - Could subscription figures make a comeback? I have doubts. Is there a best The Empire Strikes Back-specific Darth Vader? There hasn't been a new one in a while.

Also, we're out of questions for next week. Send in new questions.

Does that headline make any sense? I hope so. While looking at Thingiverse, I saw a listing for a free file so you can print a Star Wars Ghost - Phantom 1 adapter. When the HasLab project was revealed I asked if there was any way Hasbro could dock the older shuttle from the original cartoon and was told no - apparently, the answer is actually "yes."  It looks like for pennies, we could have had a means to dock the existing ship with our new massive freighters.

Apparently it is just that easy. 

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tessek (The Vintage Collection). It's a pretty good figure - the arms are mostly from Bib Fortuna, the head is new, the colors are pretty good, but I still like my Power of the Jedi Tessek just fine. If you need more articulation and cloth bits? Get this one. If you're happy with the one you've got? You're all set. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jecki Lon (The Retro Collection) . This is the only alien in The Acolyte set, and it's a short Jedi with a blue face and horns - but it also looks different from most of your other figures from this line or of this size. It's also currently the only 3 3/4-inch scale version of this character. She is sold in a six pack with other figures from the series. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Peli Motto? I hope so. How about asking Hasbro for some Cantina alien remakes? I'm not super patient, so I assume you know my advice.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Taym Dren-Garen (The Vintage Collection). I can't believe he exists, either - the retool (!) looks just like the human actor (!!) and it's a great addition to that shelf of minor characters that has been growing very slowly over the past decades. Also he's long sold out... but a good figure, if you can find one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Retro Collection). This one came out last year, and is very similar to the old Kenner figures minus the pose and texture. But it's close - and I like the format enough to say consider getting it anyway. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Production runs? Are they getting bigger, smaller, or do we even know? What's up with kid toy erasure?

Also, a few Toy Fair ramblings. Don't forget you can send in new questions.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (Flashback/Dream Sequence, The Vintage Collection). It's a pretty good figure - and something of an improvement over the "realistic" take on the costume from over a decade ago. You can see how far sculpting and painting have come in 13 years, but your memory of the old one might be that it's fine, and therefore, not worth replacing. If you got $17 to burn this is a pretty nice figure, though. Read on!

Target added the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack. According to the page, this set is due around April 27 - that's over 50 days from today, and your card won't be charged until then so technically you're not yet buying it.



The set includes a Sandtrooper, Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Rebel Fleet Trooper, han Solo (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit), Walrus Man, and Dr. Evazan. I'm kind of surprised they didn't use one of the older names like Dr. Cornelius or Roofoo. Anyway, pre-orders are open and the set is $59.99 for six figures.

Ad: More newness! Synergy arrives with Daredevil: Born Again Marvel Legends Series Daredevil 6-Inch Action Figure, and other new items like Star Wars The Vintage Collection Momaw Nadon Deluxe 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure and Star Wars The Black Series Cassian Andor (Sienar Test Pilot) 6-Inch Action Figure should be of interest.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dedra Meero (The Vintage Collection). This is a good figure and should tie nicely into Andor, should she still be available when it airs. The articulation is good, the sculpting is nice, and she doesn't look too much like any other ISB agents you may already own. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - New Nute? Not hopeful. How do factories paint their figures? Well...

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection). I had her on my desk for months and thought I wrote the review - well, let's correct that! Here she is, and you might even find her at Ross for cheap. This wave never hit big box stores, which is a shame because they're all very good figures. Her removable helmet reminds me a lot of the old Boushh. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: HK-87 Assassin Droid (Arcana, The Vintage Collection). While a redeco, it also loses an accessory from the previous release - there's no blaster this time. But it's still an awesome droid based on 20th-century concept art, so you're probably going to be glad that you got one. Read on!
