Ad: The Return of Boba Fett's Helmet at Entertainment Earth

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 2, 2024

Ad: Pre-order the Star Wars The Black Series Boba Fett Helmet Prop Replica! This 2020 release brings you all the fun and detail of a high-end prop replica at a price that's not all that bad. It's supposed to be a toy, but the articulated rangefinder and heavy weathering means it'll look great in your IKEA cases, and it won't be obvious that what you have isn't a high-end replica.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,130: Darth Maul (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (The Retro Collection). To celebrate 25 years of the movie, as tomorrow is 25 years of Midnight Madness, we're going to review this 6-pack - currently at Target - until we look at 'em all. Maul's details are a little soft, but he has a better pose and is generally interesting to fuss with. He can't fit in the Sith Infiltrator though. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,129: Jannah (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jannah (The Black Series). I didn't open mine until pretty recently - it's a decent figure, but you can also see how the modern Star Wars design ethos has a lot of overlap between movies, as she could just as easily be on the same shelf as Rogue One characters with her chunky tech gear off of more or less familiar clothing..

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 23, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: CZ Series Communications Droid (Gold, Droid Factory).

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 18, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection). This is just like the last one, but they swapped the Amban Phase Pulse Rifle with a Darkaber from Moff Gideon. It's a good figure, but if you've been all-in so far, you have all of these parts.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,125: Count Dooku (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 16, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Count Dooku (The Vintage Collection) . This figure is excellent - I got a bum one with two identical upper arms, and I still was thoroughly impressed by the likeness, detail, deco, articulation, and especially the cape. It's by no means perfect, but considering the last movie Dooku we had was over 10 years ago it's an easy figure to like. Also it seems to be selling out, so go get yours before it's gone. Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, April 12, 2024

Via Hallmark: Star Wars™ Darth Vader™ Vintage Figure Ornament . Yes, that does indeed look like a carded Kenner action figure, with no weathering or funky stickers, that you hang on a tree. (True story, this is how my parents gave me a few of my figures on Christmas.) It's $22.99 and measures 3 x 4.5 x 0.7 inches... so you might want to just buy a Star Wars The Retro Collection Action Figures Set of 6, which includes Vader as well as an additional five figures.

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 11, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Saw Gerrera (The Black Series). This is not a figure that kept its value, but it is a pretty good one. It's loaded with sculpted detail, some of which isn't painted, but it's excellent at the current market prices. Read on!

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 9, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Paz Vizsla (Epic Hero Series). This figure feels like a real Kenner toy from the late 1980s or 1990s, with lots of fun parts. It's not cheap at $15, but it is incredibly satisfying and I would say pick it up and keep on on your desk to play with. I think you'll be pleased. Read on!
