This week in Q&A - Time delay! Remember when it took 20 years to get Grand Moff Tarkin? That's nothing. And The Razor Crest - let's talk delays and features!
Also we'll ramble about the convention season that seems to be going on right now.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a remix of new and old parts, but that head sculpt is amazing and the face paint is remarkable! It's one of the very best Harrison Ford figures Hasbro has ever cranked out and gives us good hope for the future - hopefully you got one! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Hux (The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2015 release has been in my review pile, so let's look at it now! I was surprised to realize it doesn't share parts with The Last Jedi First Order officers - but it is excellent! Read on!
This week in Q&A - Production timelines! You know I love 'em. Exclusives! Here's some chatter. Retro prototype figures! Are a thing.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Paploo (The Vintage Collection). It's secretly Lumat with new gear - the face is the tell! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Electropole, The Vintage Collection). Hasbro took a figure from 2007, modified it a bit as an exclusive about nine years ago, and now added some new gear - it's old and new. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Store exclusive limits! Hasbro is in no position to set limits, because that's up to the store. Marvel is getting big because 3 3/4-inch has been dead. Imports - well, lower those expectations.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia (Endor, The Vintage Collection). I actually saw one in a Walmart two days ago - and she looks good, provided her face is on straight! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Admiral Thrawn (The Black Series 6-Inch). This blue baddie from 2017 got reissued this year... but this is the 2017 main line release, which is slightly different from the SDCC exclusive version. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Eaglemoss! No Star Wars there yet. For figures, I mean. Exclusive distribution! Can Hasbro dictate terms on how they're sold? No. Boba Fett variants! Also no.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's Dagobah Luke, in black, with a different lightsaber and a ysalamiri for your Thrawn figure. I'd recommend it, even if Luke does look a little young for a post-Return of the Jedi timeline. Read on!
What's today's popsicle-colored figure? This one: C2-B9 (Droid Depot Line Look). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's part of one of the very best robot boxed sets they have released to date, which includes two astromech droids and some big, all-new molds. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Captain Rex! Why is he wearing new clothes? The Imperial Dignitary! After not seeing a revision of the 1984 figure after two and a half decades, how hopeful should we be? And Boba Fett's Starship! Am I going to step in something?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Remnant Stormtrooper (The Retro Collection). This version looks like the old Kenner one, but comes on a retro card and is dirty. Also it comes packaged with a board game. It was originally exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Shop, but now you can get it at Entertainment Earth and potentially elsewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars, The Black Series 6-Inch). This Target exclusive is still super-tough to come by... as are the others. Read on!
