From way back in 2017, it's the R3-H17 (Droid Factory Line Look)!  And yes that is mistletoe - but given the other droids don't have lips, I assume they won't be doing much kissing.   This little fellow is from 2017, so don't expect to see them on shelves in the theme parks you should be staying away from right now.  Read on!

A weird roll-out with a late pre-order for the single and a PulseCon boxed set, Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch) is pretty good. New head! New hat! New poncho!  Same old weird joints.  It's not the only weirdly almost-accurate Luke Skywalker you'll see this month, and it's a good remake of the classic character - but sadly, he has no blaster.  Read on!

It's this year's Disney Droid for the holidays!  Available online - I mean, what isn't? - BB-H20 is a quasi-candy cane colored redeco of BB-8.  If you weren't told it was a holiday thing, it would just look like any other droid - so it's subtle.  Read on!

You liked him a few years ago, and now you can like Chirrut Imwe (The Vintage Collection) with reasonable articulation! And cloth robes! Plus a staff and a bow! There's a lot here, including bulky cloth elements - but it's still  a decent figure. Read on!

This week: Star Wars: The Mandalorian Figures. Bo-Katan Kryze (of the Filloniverse) as well as reissues of the Scarif Stormtrooper, Death Trooper, Tusken Raider, and Hovertank Driver are now available for pre-order.

Ad: Get New Hasbro Toys -sformers, Star Wars, and Power Rangers toys at Entertainment Earth! Check out new waves of The Black Series and The Lightning Collection.

If you haven't already seen the update to the Onell Design Store, check it out.  Figures based on The Child sold out, but plenty of armored figures, Ackbar-ish figures, and parts and pieces are still available.  These indie action figures can be taken apart and reassembled at every point of articulation, allowing for a lot of customization possibilities.   They're worth a look, provided there's still anything in stock.

The Gaming Greats GameStop exclusive Scout Trooper (Jedi: Fallen Order, The Black Series 6-Inch) has some nice bonus gear, and a lack of dirt when compared to other releases.  I hope you got one.  Read on!

Packaged in a nice retro foil box, the Wampa (40th Anniversary, The Black Series 6-Inch) was a PulseCon exclusive that was meant to be an SDCC exclusive.   It's nice! The Wampa drops the blood from the face of the previous release and paints the paw pads to look more like the 1980s Kenner edition.  Read on!

Action Force/G.I. Joe themed Naughty & Nice Raider figures are up at Healey Made's shop now.  While not Star Wars per se, the figures are said to have been sculpted by an old-timer in the toy business and they sure do look like a mishmash of Tarkin/Boba Fett/Cobra Commander.  I have two of the earlier releases and they're fantastic - the bundle is $50 if it's still in stock.

I know why you're thankful. Ewoks!  Hasbro finally made one in the 6-inch line with Teebo (The Black Series 6-Inch) who shares tooling with Paploo - and we'll look at him next year probably. (Hey, it's a big slate.)   With extra weapons and one of his two hoods, this figure manages to touch on a lot of what made the movie suit and Kenner's old figure great.  Read on!

This Yoda (The Black Series 6-Inch) is very tiny and has a bonus second head - also a Luke packaged with it.  You should probably get this 2-pack because Luke has exclusive gear in this pack, which makes the $40 price tag a bit easier to swallow.  Read on!

Target.com put up a page for what appears to be a new run of the Star Wars The Black Series Carbonized Collection The Mandalorian Toy Figure due early in 2021.  It's a very good figure - click here to read our review from earlier this year.  It's $5 more expensive than the previous release, but it also is cheaper than purchasing one on the secondary market. This is not the full Beskar mold, but rather the late 2019 version with a very shiny finish. 

You're probably ignoring Best Buy's exclusive General Hux (Celebrate the Saga) figure, and that's a shame.  It has one of the very best human likenesses in any of Hasbro's lines, with deco superior to just about anything else at this size.  It's in a boxed set with First Order troopers (and Phasma) too.  Get it while you can.  Read on!

If you are going to Walgreenses, you might be on the lookout for this Clone Trooper (Lieutenant, The Black Series 6-Inch) which uses the sculpt from a few years ago - and not the new 2020 model.  It matches the other troopers you've probably already bought. Read on!
