Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: J7R-T (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory). He's a newish release that sold out online quickly. He has salad plates. The dome isn't a perfect match for the show, but he's pretty good - check it out and keep your eyes open in case they show up in a theme park or elsewhere. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Best sellers! Do we know? We don't know. And toy development!  How long will this take?

A classic! I made this video in 2014, and 7 or 8 people saw it. Hasbro made a very large, very cheap Imperial Walker for Star Wars Rebels with this AT-DP. You can fit up to two figures in a very small head, which has a wonderful clunk sound when you open the hatches. It's a superb toy - I wish they would reissue it. If you're buying The Retro Collection, I advise you to go snap up the Rebels ships to use like Mini-Rigs.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead, The Vintage Collection) . He's basically the same size as the 2006 The Saga Collection release, but a completely new sculpt, but colored like the 1996 figure, but given accessories to touch on nearly every Hammerhead toy. And a bonus alternate hand for his drink. If you have all the existing Ithorian toys you could want, you may not need this one - but the added articulation, lower cloth robes, and ability to sit in a booth may make it worth your while to pick up if you see one.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Toy Dumping! It can be fun but it's not great. Evergreen character pick? Making things super easy all the time might not be great.

It's a long weekend here in America, so why wait? Have Q&A early. And send me some new questions, because what else are you going to do?

Target's exclusive Star Wars: The Retro Collection 6-pack with the Sandtrooper, Han Solo Stormtrooper, Dr. Evazan, and so forth has started to show up in very limited distribution and, at times, on their web site in onesies and twosies. I was fortunate to get one and it showed up a couple of days ago - here are some lovely high-quality photos of the set's box.

While supplies last, this year's new C1-RN8W figure is $14.99 plus free shipping with the code "FREESHIP." I paid $10, and I wish I waited - oh well. You can get yours until the offer expires.

It's a rumor - but more so!

I was reading on some forums that Hasbro's Star Wars: The Retro Collection action figures for Obi-Wan Kenobi were showing up at Dollar Tree.   Exciting!  Ross had some of these guys last year for around $3.99.   When I heard Dollar Tree might have some, I started checking (more frequently, I'm there all the dang time looking for stuff) and so far haven't found any.  But, as you know, Dollar Tree has things for $1.25 and up.

I was wondering which one this would be, and I had a way to find out. 

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Epic World of Action Mech Force Suit). The general sculpt is similar to last year's 5-jointed figure, but with new circuit deco and added joints. You can get a non-circuit-deco one packaged individually, but this fancy weird one comes with a giant mech suit. It's silly, but it's also a toy, and we don't get a lot of "real toy" releases these days. It's worth a gander. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Price Error or Tariff? It's the hot new game show for 2025! The License Renewal! What do I think? Well, let me tell you what I think!

Industrial Light and Magic was once the best - also only - game in town for your big-budget Hollywood effects. Some studios did a pretty good in-house job, and many did a job that might be good enough, but in the 20th century all your best world-changing stuff came out of George Lucas' companies.

In the 1990s "CGI" was a pejorative, with some movies blending practical and digital elements (like Jurassic Park) in a way that made everybody happy. CG spaceships were largely pretty good and adopted quickly, greatly reducing the need for model makers in some cases. Miniature sets would still be composited in a lot of shots, and a lot of other things would still be made by hand while we saw a big transition to increasingly digital effects.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Director Orson Krennic (The Vintage Collection). It makes use of the general construction most Imperials from the past few years. He has a left-handed draw holster and a cape, plus a really good head. You won't be seeing him in stores anymore... and I don't know if I ever actually did see him in the wild. Well, go get one online, it's good. Read on!
