SPONSOR SHOP
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!
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: 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: 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: 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!
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!
It's that time again! A checklist of new announcements and new releases can be found in Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #3. If you've watched all the streams, you won't find much new here - but there are a lot of new items to order and gawk at, and this is a quick way to find out what you didn't realize you missed. And it's done on a web site that's 1995 chic. Trendy!
Read it on the toilet. It won't take long and it'll tell you all the new Hasbro announcements you wanted to know.
We're back! A Dinosaur's Story. Also Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #2. This is where we're keeping all the May the 4th Hasbro reveals - if you just want a list of new stuff, click through and skim it. You don't have to watch 40 minutes of streaming video reveals to get the news, we did that for you.
What does this dial-up-era newsletter have for you this week?

The Other 6-Inch Star Wars Action Figure Line
Disney+ Streaming Series
Today in Figure of the Day, it's a good one: Cad Bane (The Black Series 6-Inch). This one was available by himself or in a set with Todo 360, end either one is really excellent if you can find them. Cad Bane's hat comes off, he has two blasters, and each and every joint seems to be perfectly hidden in his costume. This is one of the best figures from last year, so get one when you see one. Read on!
A blast from the past from right now: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). This one takes an existing mold, and paints it in 1978 colors. The cloth cape is gone, replaced by a vinyl cape - which works surprisingly well. This is absolutely more of an art piece or a display piece - and it's seemingly sold out for a while. Read on!
As Captain Beefheart once said to hecklers, "I'm going to do what I want to do!"
I don't much like coding or social media or anything like that - but I love writing about toys. Back in the 1990s I ran a Star Wars email newsletter called ASWN, Adam's Star Wars Newsletter, as a dial-up text email blasted out to people. I may set up a new email server, but I brought it back as a 1995-chic web page with all the new info from today's Hasbro Pulse announcements, and some updates on upcoming comics, streaming shows, and conventions that you may have missed.
Click here to return to 1995 with a brand new issue of Adam's Star Wars newsletter. It's all text. That's how I want to do it. If you don't like it, there are lots of other web pages not written by cranky middle-aged fans who started writing about toys as cranky teenage fans.
Today in Figure of the Day: Captain Cardinal (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a First Order Stormtrooper, but red, and with a cape - and you got charged $5 more for it. It's a book character that I don't believe is a costumed character at Galaxy's Edge, but I may be wrong about that. It was part of Target's exclusive program and that's 100% appropriate. When do I get my Target exclusive Red Bumblebee? Is that happening? And if not why not? Anyway, we're going to try three figures a week for a while and see how that goes. Read on!
Today in Figure of the Day: Ahsoka Tano (The Black Series 6-Inch). She's a Walmart exclusive that I never actually saw in a store - presumably some made it to stores, but I got mine online. Maybe there's more to be had - it's tough to tell. Read on!
Today in Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day: Incinerator Trooper (The Vintage Collection). You can get a big one, or at Walmart, you can get the smaller exclusive one. It's good, it has fire with it. It doesn't have the Imperial cog on the backpack, though, but I'd still say get it if you're a fan of either The Force Unleashed or The Mandalorian. Read on!
