Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cobb Vanth (The Vintage Collection) . The previous figure had armor, this one is a little cheaper and doesn't - which seems kind of silly, given it doesn't seem all that different. He has a scarf, two blasters, and really nice hair.

It seems almost unthinkable, but a second movie is entering production. According to StarWars.com, Lucasfilm Announces Casting for Star Wars: Starfighter.  Of note, "Joining the previously announced Ryan Gosling, the film stars Flynn Gray, Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Simon Bird, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings, and Amy Adams."  Wow, Amy Adams? Color me surprised.

It's time for another Q&A flashback for us to see that Hasbro can take a while but ultimately deliver the goods.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Rebel Flight Suit, Epic Hero Series). This one comes with a whole X-Wing for around $30, and it's a great deal - you'd probably happily pay $10 for this toy Luke, and the vehicle's no slouch. Give it a look if you see it, if you ever played with Star Wars toys sans baggage of collectibility, you'll dig this. Read on!

It's time for another Q&A flashback! Don't worry, the month is almost over, we can get back to your normally scheduled... something. It's been a slow year given that we got at least a couple of new shows and a movie on deck, isn't it?

Today: Will Hasbro ever make a decent Razor Crest? (From 2020!) Oh, I know the answer to this one!

Over the weekend, MrStevie18 posted a ton of HasLab Republic Gunship pictures from its showing in Canada. Really! There are a lot! These new angles may show you thinks you missed before, so be sure to give it a look.

You will, of course, need some new figures to go with it.  Lucky for you, Hasbro has done a ton of great Geonosis-adjacent figures that are on the market right now.  I put together a page with some of them so you can check them out and start shopping.   A lot of collectors seemed to tune out between 2008 and 2014, and there were loads of ultra-obscure humans with lightsabers designed specifically to go with a Geonosis Arena collection.

The Star Wars The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship is up for pre-order/funding consideration for about 14 more days. It is currently 3,751 / 8,000 units backed, so if you want one?

This week in Star Wars Q&A - HasLab chatter and bringing back old items! It's a prequel-themed week.

Today: Is it safe to take apart the Republic Gunships? (From 2006!)

It's kind of timely.   I've been going through older toys and seeing some weird oily sweat as well as discoloration due to the ravages of time.   Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Asajj Ventress (The Vintage Collection). There have been a few Ventress figures, but this is the first realistic 3 3/4-inch interpretation of her 2008 The Clone Wars look. We've had a Tartakovsky version about 20 years ago (and a few realistic ones based on that0, a cartoon version in 2008, and a 6-inch version based on pretty much this same sculpt. At this size it's a unique look in a distinctive costume, and I think she turned out really well. Get this one if you can find it. Read on!

It's time for another Q&A flashback for me to give props to Hasbro, who has been giving us props a lot more lately.
