After selling out a few times, the generously sized and designed-for-a-DETOLF case Prototype Deluxe Space Bar - Custom 3 3/4" Action Figure Playset is back in stock at the Orbitdyne Etsy page. It lights up, with glow-in-the-dark elements and it's a good fit for retro figures but also works nicely with modern ones. Click here to buy it if it hasn't yet sold through.
It's a 3-D printed item that is several elements you align and enjoy. It's a great display piece that seems to get the job done, and that job is making sure your figures look like they're doing something other than stand around waiting for you to play with them. It's great.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Emperor (The Retro Collection). It's very similar to the originals, which, oddly, are pretty cheap on eBay. The 2023 reissue has smoothed out the textures on the robes and the wrinkles on the hands and face are less wrinkly. If you have an open original you probably don't need the reissue, which looks incredibly similar to the genuine article unless you squint. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mara Jade (The Black Series). It's a good figure despite being parts from Aphra/Jaina with a new head and new paint - it's just not as "accurate" as it could be. Then again, for a comic/novel character, there's more than a little wiggle-room and at a glance, she's kind of fantastic. Read on!
