The Book of Boba Fett

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,233: Grogu (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 17, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hasbro do that Grogu (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection) that they do so well!

This is a pretty clever idea for a product. It's a reissue of the obscure Kenner Dagoah training backpack, with a reissue of "The Child" and a frog from 2021. Since the wave never hit mass market retailers it can be tough to say if it sold well or not, but I rarely saw them on closeout shelves and odds are a lot of fans might want it just for the backpack. I think it's worth getting, but I generally like all of these a fair amount. Also I believe this is my last unreviewed Retro figure until the red dot ships their exclusive set around the end of the month. Read on!

There are several photos so be sure to page through the gallery as you take bets on if they are holding it for May 4 or if it will go up sooner.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,219: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 27, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection). I had her on my desk for months and thought I wrote the review - well, let's correct that! Here she is, and you might even find her at Ross for cheap. This wave never hit big box stores, which is a shame because they're all very good figures. Her removable helmet reminds me a lot of the old Boushh. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,170: Tusken Warrior (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, September 10, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Warrior (The Retro Collection). This figure never showed up at Target or Walmart, but started showing up at Ross in the last month for $3.99. It answers the question "what if the 1978 Sand People had cloth robes?" It's quite excellent, if you see it for four bucks, buy two or six. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,165: Boba Fett (Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 22, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Epic Hero Series). It's fantastic - but not for everybody. If you were a Kenenr kid, this will feel like a roughly 1990s release with sturdy joints, awesome accessories, and a giant rocket-firing backpack that he can wear and stay standing. Deco is good, sculpt is excellent, and its ability to balance seems shocking giving how many The Vintage Collection guys just face-plent without a heavy backpack. I recommend him. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,164: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Academy, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 20, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Academy, The Retro Collection). It's the same as the spring 2023 figure, which is a remake of the 1983 figure, except this time it doesn't have a blaster and the cloak is black. Is it worth it? Well, it'd cost you about $10 for a fan-made black cloak so may as well get the official one. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,150: Krrsantan (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Krrsantan (The Retro Collection). It's still not in any stores I've been to, and it came out late last year. It looks like a remixed Chewbacca figure, with things you didn't see in the 1980s like big armor and hands that can grip a blaster. In other words, it's pretty good - and hopefully you got one if you wanted one. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,140: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 6, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection). Based on his appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, this Kenner-style figure isn't quite as Kenner-y as some others - he more or less fits in, but lacks the detail and distinctive body language of the old guys. But it's a $12 Cad Bane, and he can stand and sit, and has a swell hat. Also he's one of the few figures where a vinyl cape might have been good to serve as a coat - but in this case, the coat is molded to the figure so it doesn't get in the way of him sitting in your old vehicles.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,126: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 18, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection). This is just like the last one, but they swapped the Amban Phase Pulse Rifle with a Darkaber from Moff Gideon. It's a good figure, but if you've been all-in so far, you have all of these parts. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,112: Tusken Chieftan (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 29, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Chieftan (The Black Series). He uses parts of the old Tusken Raider from about seven years ago, but most of what you'll actually see are new parts, with new robes, and some decent paint.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,108: Tusken Raider (Dark Robes and Stripes, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 15, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (Dark Robes and Stripes, The Vintage Collection). Sometimes new deco is all you need to refresh a character, and I love having new guys to build out this group. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,107: Cad Bane (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 13, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Black Series). This is the one from The Book of Boba Fett, so there are a lot of differences between him and The Clone Wars' "live action" figure from a few years ago. For example, there are no rocket boots... but it's still a blue Duro in a hat and a duster, so to a lot of fans it's not obvious that it's a completely new sculpt. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,103: Pyke Soldier (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 30, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Pyke Soldier (The Black Series). It's like the stock photo got turned into a toy, with an extra blaster and no special features. It's decent, and meets modern fan expectations for the scale. Read on!

Also, a new Transformers HasLab is live now - and it's over 25% funded in the first hour. There's a decent proposition for what you get, and how big the robots are relative to other toys in the marketplace.

ICYMI: Hasbro Pulse Has Star Wars The Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room In Stock

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, January 26, 2024

I was talking with a friend over email and it came up that nobody was talking about the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Boba Fett’s Throne Room, which came out last September and Hasbro Pulse has in stock right now for $229.99.   I took some pictures of it for our Tumblr as well, outfitting it with various aliens from Return of the Jedi over the last 46 years of toys.

It's a pretty good piece.  I haven't opened up all of the accessories still, mostly because I was less interested in setting up The Book of Boba Fett gear.  Why? Not enough figures.  Hasbro delivered a really excellent multi-purpose playset that can be used with either that show or Return of the Jedi, but as they didn't deliver many of the lesser members of Boba Fett's entourage... why would you want a $230 playset to sit empty?

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,101: Boba Fett (Dune Sea, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 23, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Dune Sea, The Retro Collection). Some online shops (like Entertainment Earth) are shipping out this wave but I haven't seen any in stores yet. If you do see them, you should get them - Boba has a good head sculpt, excellent Jawa-esque robes, and two really nice accessories to boot. I went and got my The Vintage Collection Boba Fett's Spaceship (or whatever it's called this week) when I cracked him open and had myself a pretty good time in the cargo hold, but he's too big to fit in the pilot seat.
