This week in Q&A - obscure characters! Sometimes we get surprised. Retro-style figures! I pose 5 joints in the morning. I pose 5 joints at night. Spoilers! Not necessarily. Nothing is quite that obvious.

Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: FN-2187 (Finn Stormtrooper, The Force Awakens). It's Finn with a removable helmet, from about five years ago - it's still a good figure. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 4-LOM (Droid Factory Line Look / Droid Depot). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's probably the best-painted one yet. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Lightsabers! Of course there's more. Joining the business! How do you do it? The tenacity of the cockroach. Figure upgrades! They happen.

Happy 4th!

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Enfys Nest (The Vintage Collection). This version has more articulation, gauntlet weapons, and a better cape than the swoop bike pack-in version. But sadly, no removable helmet! It's still worth getting. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Carnor Jax (Kir Kanos, The Black Series 6-Inch). The box copy is for Carnor Jax, but the figure and image are clearly Kir Kanos, which is clearly the Emperor's Royal Guard with a new cape and a new staff. Good enough? Maybe. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (50th Anniversary, The Black Series 6-Inch). It lacks the alternate hand from the last release, but has new - and arguably improved - detail on the head that will make paying the premium price potentially worth it if you can still find one at a Best Buy somewhere. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Exclusives outside conventions! Don't hod your breath. Cool exclusives! They are still a thing! Costs! Things are getting a lot more expensive.

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is out of on-topic questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Hovertank Pilot (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Toys R Us exclusive I hadn't gotten around to opening until just now - and it just got reissued this year. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a retool, and a pretty good one with a decent body upgrade and nice deco. Not bad for a modified 2013 release! Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greedo (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). The Amazon exclusive seems to be sold through, but it's awesome if you're a fan of the old Kenner guys. A new one on a not-quite-right POTF2-style cardback is up on Hasbro Pulse right now, but in movie colors. Which is better? Amazon's, obviously. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Upsizing figures! It isn't necessarily easy. Big figure pricing! There are bigger ones now. Code names! It's a thing!  And let's speculate on HasLab Black Series since that's a thing coming up now.

Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is out of on-topic questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!

After being out of circulation for decades, save for some laserdiscs or VHS tapes (along with some heavily edited DVDs and VHS tapes), the original 13 episodes with the original music can be seen! Disney+ posted Droids overnight, so if you're a subscriber you can log in and watch this fun and admittedly goofy masterwork starring R2-D2 and C-3PO.

It's another robot! R1-J1 (Droid Depot Line Look). It's like the Hasbro one from almost 20 years ago, but there are a ton of tiny differences to infuriate or delight you. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greef Karga (The Retro Collection). Vinyl capes are in this season, as are loops on holsters that can store blasters. But you probably can't find this in stores - so should you get yourself one? Yes. Read on!
