Figure of the Day

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,081: Wicket W. Warrick (Ewoks Cartoon, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 14, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wicket W. Warrick (Ewoks Cartoon, The Vintage Collection). Depending on how you look at it, it's great. In person, the hood is a little on the neon orange side - but it looks good in pictures, and is not quite the yellowish hues seen on 1980s Ewok advertising artwork. There's a lot to like, and a little to complain about, but you get a good coin and really nice packaging for (what else) a premium price.

It's still cheaper than the one Kenner made in the 1980s.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,080: Ahsoka Tano (Padawan, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 9, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Padawan, The Black Series). It's one of the last closed-box figures, and she turned out quite nicely. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,079: R4 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R4 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022). It's a nice design, but I don't think I understood the inspiration - it looks like DHL, but not. There's a little symbol on the dome, it's kind of sparkly, but mostly it just looks like a cool droid you wouldn't mind having around in any Star Wars scenario. I like it a lot. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,078: R3-T6 (Custom)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 2, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-T6 (Custom). It's not a licensed product and it was quite expensive for what it is, but it's the kind of thing I've always been surprised Kenner - and especially Hasbro - never pursued with the old R2-D2 mold. Secondary market prices on the droids from Stan Solo are getting expensive, and it makes sense - they look cool and are functionally pretty nice. I'd recommend it if you're no longer buying as much licensed stuff. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,076: Krrsantan (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 26, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Krrsantan (The Black Series). This is a perfectly nice basic figure, but it's priced as a deluxe - he's shorter than Chewbacca and has a similar accessory count, but it would seem the most popular characters are getting pulled aside for a wider box with more empty space in it with a higher price. But the sculpt is good, the articulation is well-engineered, and he has the minimum amount of accessories that you need to say "OK, he looks cool on my desk" while the smaller one has six hands and way too much gear for almost the same price. It's an increasingly bizarre line, ad a basic Kenner-style one is due shortly.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,075: R7-FNG

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 24, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R7-FNG. He doesn't suck! The purple vampire droid has a glow-in-the-dark dome and fake fangs, making it a ridiculous - but creative - design that I think a lot of figure collectors will want. (Star Wars collectors, who knows, but "monster" and "glow" makes it a winner in by book.) Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,074: Oola (Custom)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 19, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Oola (Custom). This is a figure Jabba wanted but Kenner was unwilling to make. A fan made one last year, and then a few more, and it's pretty close to what you might expect out of Kenner from 1983. The color is a little wrong, the headdress is a tiny bit off, and the sandals may not quite match - but the same was true of a few figures back then.

She fits in perfectly with your older Return of the Jedi figures, and sadly is priced more or less accordingly. I like it - I wouldn't buy it if Hasbro charged $40. But Hasbro won't make one, so it's this or nothing. Is it worth it? Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,073: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 17, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection). This is gorgeous figure at a hideous price - the mark-up on a $12.99 figure from a few years ago makes little sense, but from a technical perspective it's a nice product with great paint on a lovely cardback. We also got a Marvel Boba Fett about 15 years ago packed with a droid and a full-size comic for about $12 - so this definitely got slapped with some premium pricing. At least it's gorgeous. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,072: Grogu (and Luke Skywalker, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 12, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (and Luke Skywalker, The Black Series). This one comes with Luke, who was marked up $20 for his accessories like Grogu, and might be on clearance at a store near you. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,071: R7-TN0

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 10, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R7-TN0 . It's not from anything specific, but it is a droid painted like Ahsoka Tano and that's pretty neat. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,070: Garindan (Custom)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 5, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Garindan (Custom). This is another fan-made, mass-produced figure but this time you can tell from where the parts originated - there are pieces of the 1997 Kenner The Power of the Force Garindan mixed in with a vinyl cape, a black Cloud Car Pilot comm, and other new and old elements. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,069: Tusken Raider Warrior (Single Card Edition, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 3, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider Warrior (Single Card Edition, The Vintage Collection) . This is the single-carded one, which I opened right as I forgot for a split-second I meant to open the Target version with the Massiff first. Whoops. Either way, it's still Rey with new parts on her - a pretty impressive redress, but a redress all the same. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,067: R2-S4M

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, September 26, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-S4M . This 2023 figure from Disney looks an awful lot like a figure named "Jabba's Bartender" from 2016. It's different! Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,066: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 21, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom). It is an actual, real, Kenner-style figure made from an unlicensed source - and since an official release of such a character in this specific costume is unlikely, it's worth a look. It's a lot better than nothing - in fact, it's pretty excellent (albeit very expensive.) Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, September 19, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,065: Boba Fett (Comic Art Edition, The Vintage Collection).Boba Fett returned from the dead a few times, and this one is based on Dark Empire from 1991-1992. If you pre-ordered it, you likely paid $2 more than it costs in the store right now - which is a lot - but it is a pretty nice figure. Read on!
