Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R5-ZOMB (Droid Factory). He's from last year, but just look at it. Making a holiday droid that somehow integrates into the greater universe is tough, and the muted colors really work here. It feels like a piece of equipment left exposed to the great outdoors, complete with a rusted-out hole in the dome and dirty paint applications. One eye is blacked out with the other two featuring a yellow dot set inside red, and there are tons of painted pink panels and gross green highlights in addition to a smattering of paint specks. This is a good one - even if you don't do the Halloween thing, you could see this in a Sandcrawler or Jabba's Palace somewhere. Read on!
Ad: Over the weekend Hasbro revealed a ton of new action figures at NYCC, and Entertainment Earth has pre-orders open now. Pre-order new figures like Star Wars The Vintage Collection Padme Amidala 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure, Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Stranger (Qimir) 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure, and Star Wars The Black Series Quinlan Vos 6-Inch Action Figure. They're all at Entertainment Earth today!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greedo (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection). Now that's a toy with personality. Bright colors, side-eye, decent articulation, and a holster - it's about as good as you can expect from a modern-era collector figure. They don't want to throw in play features, but very few original figures had any. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - 3 3/4-inch revivals!. Would you believe all fandoms aren't the same? And what might a new movie line look like? The last few haven't been super hot.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Senni Tonnika (Cantina - The Vintage Collection). She was near the top of a very short list of figures that it seemed Hasbro (and Kenner) might never make - but here we are! In the 1990s we were hoping for a figure with six joints and now we've got a super-articulated figure with a separately molded wig, a blaster, a glass, and an alternate hand. You can't ask for much more here, other than maybe a reissue for those who skipped out on the HasLab Cantina. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Red Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). The classic deco at stores is being cleared out, but this red "tech" variant has been showing up online. The figure itself is the same, but the bike has some added paint with clear red plastic accessories. It's weird, so I like it - but good luck tracking it down outside online sellers. Read on!
Right now, DisneyStore has DJ R-3X Action Figure – Droid Depot – Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in stock It's orange, it has some painted scuffs, and it looks cool.
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Cantina characters can't complete congregation Well, we got a lot. And the black or gray market is not an area of my expertise, but people seem to be selling figures that aren't typically available a lot as of late.
Oh and the whole London MCM is coming up so get yer credit cards ready.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (The Journey of Anakin Skywalker - The Vintage Collection). He's new, and technically from Ahsoka but also might do as a stand-in for Revenge of the Sith despite the red blade lightsaber. It's a pretty great figure and part of a 3-pack with an Emperor's Wrath Vader and a caped The Clone Wars Anakin. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1-10P (Ahsoka show redeco, Droid Factory). It's a repaint of a cartoon toy for a live action show, and it's similar enough that you probably wouldn't miss not having it. The actual prop had some alterations from this design, but it's probably one of those "close enough" things that you wouldn't mind having nor would you miss not having. Assuming you had other Disney or Hasbro Chopper figures, of course. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Something shipped early? It happened! And toys minus the toy part is kind of where we are. What did that do to our souls?

Ad: Pre-order new Star Wars The Black Series Boba Fett (The Book of Boba Fett) 6-Inch Action Figure, Star Wars The Black Series Darth Vader (Duel’s End) 6-Inch Action Figure, and in-stock (for now) Star Wars The Vintage Collection Jango Fett 3 3/4-Inch Deluxe Action Figure - Exclusive. Don't miss it again if you wanted one!
Details are light, but at New York Comic Con Steve Evans posted a preview of Garindan! It looks a little different than many would have expected - the hips seem a little thin and possibly fragile for a robed figure - but it's a new alien. Is it an exclusive? Will it be in a 6-pack? How can I get one? I don't know. But it's nice to see the line continue, in some sort of "pack" at least.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Tatooine, Landspeeder - The Vintage Collection) . He can sit better and has a belt that can carry more accessories. If you want a figure for a playset or a vehicle, get this one. If you want one to stand around, get the one without the Landspeeder. Read on!
If you didn't get yours yet, DisneyStore.com has the R2-H25 Holiday Droid Factory Figure up for $14.99. With tax and shipping that's close to $30, so you might also want to see if there are Halloween or other figures to soften the impact.
