Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R0-1N6 (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory). It loks a lot like a figure from a few years ago - but the drums are new. They're not an exact match for The Book of Boba Fett but given it's been about four years, odds are we'll not be getting a remake of this guy or many other character from the show. It's good enough for now, and pretty impressive what with its tiny arms and drumsticks. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Remaking rarities! Sometimes I'm for it, sometimes I'm not. Also Andor books!  Is print dead?

Also, we're back to the old site template, which is handy, and shows technology that you don't control is hard to fix.

While once $20, the Star Wars Rebels The Phantom shuttle is now out of production. Fans take Hasbro vehicle engineering for granted, because even the kid stuff was pretty spectacular. This one had three slide-out cannons, fold-out wings, an articulated rocket launcher, plus an opening cockpit and an opening rear. There was some room for accessory storage, plus a back seat for another figure.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Sandtrooper (The Retro Collection). This is a good one, with two gripping hands and a sculpt that looks like it would belong in the 1970s. He has that diamond knee design you'd expect, the shoulder pad is split to allow for movement, and it has a unique blaster. It's kind of a shame you can't buy these individually, I'd have picked up a few more. He's currently in a 6-pack at Target stores. Read on!

Ad: They're coming back! If you missed Star Wars The Vintage Collection 3 3/4-Inch Darth Revan Action Figure or the Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Starkiller (The Force Unleashed) Action Figure, here's your chance to get them again.

Via Amazon (yes this is a sponsored link): STAR WARS SW 4INCH Figure Vehicle Pack . It's actually an Epic World of Action IG-11, Grogu, and Speeder Bike set - and I believe it's an exclusive. The product listing doesn't have a name and it's not labeled as an exclusive, but I haven't seen it elsewhere so who knows what might happen in other stores in a few days. It's not bad for the asking price - pretty much the same as a regular retail Speeder Bike, with more stuff in the box.

Give it a look.

Via Amazon and a talented assosciate: Star Wars Andor "I Have Friends Everywhere" Quote Rebel Logo T-Shirt. It's an officially licensed made-on-demand tee based on this year's series. It looks good, and this is an ad link for it. You can buy it here in a bunch of sizes and colors.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Overseas rarities! Think you own - let alone know - every figure? Probably not, Europe got some oddballs that don't get a lot of attention. And droids. Is every scale going to get the big two? Probably not.

This was originally posted on a temporary site July 7, 2025.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Joruus C'baoth (The Vintage Collection). It's not Alan Moore, but it could be. It's a mad Jedi clone from a 1991 book, finally arriving to fulfill a name that's been on a lot of wish lists since the original Bush administration. Sadly, the set quickly sold out, but hopefully there will be demand for him to come back. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: GS-C1B (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory). The colors are good, the restraining bolt is missing, and it's mostly pretty excellent. And it sold out online, so if you can get one you should. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Walrus Man (The Retro Collection). It's the only remake of the only wave (that I know of) for the year, taking the 1979 figure and sanding down the edges. The whiskers seem to have been reduced in resolution and blurred out, and the various wrinkles are softer than the real deal - but the colors and paint are perfect. The joints move nicely and the plastic feels great. Hopefully they can sharpen up the next round of reissues, but after seven years of figures I would not hold my breath. His hand can hold his (or one of Evazan's) blasters, but it's a little looser than the 1979 hand. Still, it's nice, and I like the improved eye paint a lot. It's charming, and you should be buying this set anyway. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - The site broke! Never trust content management platforms heavier than you can lift. I'll be re-posting stuff from the "redesign" site to the "classic" site so it's all here.

So Let's talk 2026-2027 product development. When does it start? Is it going to make us Gods among men? Soon, and no.

What does the future hold for kid toys? Won't someone please think of the children? Not likely, no.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IT-0 Interrogation Droid (with Darth Vader, Epic Hero Series). It's on clearance! The Target exclusive set from last year gives you 2 basic carded figures with 2 exclusive droid sidekicks. The price has been anywhere from $9 to $20 with a few stops in between, and I'd strongly recommend it Read on!

Ad: Reissues of Star Wars The Black Series Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) 6-Inch Action Figure and Star Wars The Black Series Sergeant Kreel 6-Inch Action Figure are coming! If you missed them, now is the time to get your pre-orders on the books.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: MSE-6 Droid (with Epic Hero Series Stormtrooper). It's pretty cool and you might be at your local Target, where it has been an exclusive for last year, for as little as $9 depending on the week. The Trooper is the same as the 2023 release, but it has a little MSE6-6 droid buddy. That's worthwhile! Read on!
