Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Prototype Edition - Green Head, The Retro Collection). There are at least six color configurations - and mine looks like a Crayola box! Read on!
A classic has returned! Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, figure takes a 2010 Jedi Luke and adds a new head and new accessories - and it's pretty great if you can find one, exclusively at Walmart. Read on!
We're back! Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #4 is ready to read. Why should you read it?
It has things in recent Hasbro streams that you can't be bothered to sit for an hour and watch, in a format that you can skim through on your iPad on the toilet. I'm here for you, fellow olds. Highlights include: the HasLab Razor Crest delay, Macy's new toy section, an all-new Bib Fortuna, and so many of the new Hasbro announcements from over the summer in a handy checklist form - so you can see if any of it matters without wasting the amount of time it would take you to catch up on What We Do in the Shadows! Aren't I thoughtful?
Via ShopDisney: Fi¿Star Wars Droid Factory Halloween Figure – R6-W1CH. Right now, the droid is $12.99 plus shipping - not a bad deal, considering previous ones tend to sell $20 or more (much more) if you wait too long. Sadly many of us missed R2-RNBW, the Pride droid, and I'm still cranky. (Please sell me one if you have a spare. Loose fine.)
Happy Halloween! This means the Christmas droid is likely to show up real soon.

New figures from The Vintage Collection join an exclusive shared Greef Karga from The Black Series and Rey's lightsaber from the end of The Rise of Skywalker.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Vintage Collection) . This is a figure from a few years ago, updated with new paint - and he's different! The skin looks a lot better this time around, but once you put the mask on he's not all different. Read on!
Get him while he's hot, get him while he's buttered: Admiral Ackbar 2021 Redux, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, this figure is a little less bright and has new paint applications that look a lot like - and not identical to - the 2010 original. Read on!
It's new for 2021! Han Solo (Endor, The Vintage Collection) . First released in 2006 - and again in 2011 - this figure has been updated for 2021, and is one of few figures to actually look worse with the photo real paint. The coat is an improvement, though! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Flametrooper (Gaming Greats, The Black Series).
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Shadow Stormtrooper (The Vintage Collection) . It's a new release of a figure we've had before - but now it has better color and uses the newest mold! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a figure that shares parts with Jaina Solo, but it's not like you noticed. Sadly she has long since sold out without a rerun in sight, but this is still a nifty figure worth a look. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2020 release is an absolute blast, with great soft goods, excellent articulation, and one of the very best Carrie Fisher faces you can buy on an action figure. Read on!
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!
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!
