Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,053: Krrsantan (SDCC, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Krrsantan (SDCC, The Vintage Collection). This big Wookiee debuted at SDCC and is very similar to the mass release version, except he has a unique head, a distinct package, and a couple of exclusive weapons. But if you want the mug, the fruit, the hands, and the rifle, either version will do. Is it worth the $40? Read on!

Q&A: Star Wars Not Remade This Century and Indiana Jones and the Era of Relevancy

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, August 6, 2023

This week in Star Wars Q&A - missing droids! Is it spite at this point? Probably not.

Be sure you send in your questions. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,052: Inquisitor (Fourth Sister, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 3, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Inquisitor (Fourth Sister, The Black Series). This is a pretty good figure - she's sort of a nobody on Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it's rare that we get a new alien with some color to her. Sure, it's another black leather Inquisitor costume, but at least you get somebody with orange skin and multiple head tails. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,051: R6 Unit (Green/Teal, 2023 Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 1, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R6 Unit (Green/Teal, 2023 Pride Collection). The set was very briefly on sale earlier this week - but now it's back to full price. Well you can still get it and it still looks cool. Read on!

Q&A: Star Wars Complexity and Light Is Bad

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, July 30, 2023

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Could this line be better if Hasbro also had a few simpler (cheaper) figures? I think so. Also light is bad so keep stuff in a cool, dry, dark place. The sun is evil if you like toys.

Be sure you send in your questions. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,050: Tusken Raider (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 27, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (The Retro Collection). He's a little different - the silver coloring and head sculpt deviate a little from the original, likely giving you another reason to pick up what is effectively another variant in your old figure collection. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,049: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 25, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection). It's a new-ish figure. He has no jacket, but he's $16.99. Much of the tooling is recycled from the Solo: A Star Wars Story figure. It's not bad per se, but it not being a 100% new sculpt at this price may leave you not loving the shortcomings of the old-style legs and hoping it could be as good as some of the all-new figures we've had in the last couple of years.

SDCC 2023 Preview Night: Adam's Snapshots from Hasbro

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, July 23, 2023

Crossposted from 16bit.com! I loves me some Star Wars. 3 3/4-inch figures are best, especially the retro ones. Hasbro had The Book of Boba Fett wave of The Retro Collection online with Boba Fett, a Tusken Raider, Cad Bane, Luke Skywalker (black robe and no blaster), Grogu, Mando, Fennec Shand, and Tusken Boba. It's a nice selection.

SDCC 2023 - Hasbro - Star Wars

 

The Boba/Jabba/Bib throne room was on display, as were tons of lightsabers and other recent reveals. Even some Ahsoka toys were there, including a swell hat, a lightsaber, and a Chopper droid toy. You may have seen a few of these before, or not - the Mission Fleet sets were, I think, at least partially new.

Some Notes on the Hasbro HasLab Star Wars: The Vintage Collection The Ghost Vehicle

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, July 23, 2023

Better late than never! I've been speculating/predicting this for a couple of years, but at SDCC Hasbro confirmed the HasLab Star Wars The Vintage Collection The Ghost vehicle/playset. For $499.99, you get a ship that seems to be a little bigger than the big Millennium Falcon, the Phantom II, a slug/no-legs Chopper droid, and a carded Hera Syndulla figure. As I write this, it has just under 45 days to go and is 7,231 of 8,000 backers. But there's more to it than that.

Does it fit your old Star Wars Rebels figures? Sadly, I wasn't able to ask and am still catching up with con coverage - but Razor Crest and the Sail Barge were both designed with seats that work with Kenner-style action figures. So, let's hope.

Q&A: Star Wars SDCC Mutterings, Young Jedi Adventures, and Closeout Conundrums

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, July 23, 2023

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Young Jedi Adventures and we the clearance pipeline. Oh, and Comic-Con made for a busy weekend with some fun server issues caused by a weird hotel - so I'm gathering that stuff too.

There's a lot to like, but everything isn't for everybody - and that's OK!  At least you'll probably see something you'll enjoy from all the recent reveals.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,048: Like Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 20, 2023

We are experincing some road-related technical problems so SDCC updates will have to wait until the weekend - but this was written early, so here goes!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Like Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser, The Black Series). You liked him in The Mandalorian, and you'll probably appreciate that this figure is changed a little bit of what you expect in Return of the Jedi, but with a different vest and belt buckle and a black cloak. If you can find it, you're probably going to want it. Read on!

Another New Healey Made Figure: Wednesday Evening

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 18, 2023

What is this?Via the Glyos News Dump: A New Healey Made Drop Wednesday. Is it purple? I don't know - but this indie 3 3/4-inch action figure will be up at 6:00 PM Wednesday, July 19 at the Healey Made Shop. They go great with your old retro Kenner figures.

Leak: Retro ROTJ Randomness

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Well, that's a surprise. Making the rounds on social media is this Return of the Jedi The Retro Collection Kenner-style 6-pack form, allegedly, Hasbro and Kenner. You get the Emperor's Royal Guard, Gamorrean Guard, Wicket the Ewok, and Admiral Ackbar - all good figures. But what's super exciting is you also allegedly get Yak Face and a brand-new old-style Mon Mothma. This was supposedly posted by In Demand Toys, and has not been revealed in an official capacity as of yet. I hope it's real and real nearby.
