Figure of the Day

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,062: The Mandalorian (Prototype, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, September 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Prototype, The Retro Collection). It looks neat - and he came and went somewhat quickly. I'd say get him for the blasters, if they weren't pre-stressed in the package (at least in my case.) Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,061: Tuken Chieftan (Tusken Raiders, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, September 5, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tuken Chieftan (Tusken Raiders, The Vintage Collection). He's from the boxed set! And he's pretty decent, but not perfect - peak "that'll do" as figures go, complete with a nice staff. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,060: Luke Skywalker (and Grogu, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 31, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (and Grogu, The Black Series). It's a new Luke, that looks like old Luke, which is based on a fake Luke, and it's pretty decent. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,055: R8 Unit (Purple, 2023 Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 29, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R8 Unit (Purple, 2023 Pride Collection). It's purple! I think it's also the first R8 droid sold as a whole unit without scouring bins, plus this boxed set has been on sale for a few bucks off - you may as well pick one up because where else are you getting colorful robots these days? (Transformers is the answer.) It's also the last figure we look at in this collection, technically, we've got one more 2023 Pride droid left to go in a couple of weeks from an individually carded release. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,058: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 24, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (The Retro Collection). The last of the retro reviews of the original 12! He's got a white beard, softer details, and what seems to be a pretty vibrant blue lightsaber this time. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,057: Sun’il Ei’de (Drums, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 22, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Sun’il Ei’de (Drums, The Vintage Collection). I was unaware there were still new Cantina alien names being cranked out since Disney got Star Wars, but it's still the drummer and he's still a pretty good figure with decent accessories. But also, he's the same Cantina band guy. His drum sticks are pretty long, so you can pretend they're microphones and he's hosting The Space Price Is Right. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,056: Rebel Commando (Endor, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 17, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Commando (Endor, The Black Series). You get the "Nik Sant" head and a cleanshaven head, and two blasters. The good thing is that the figure is well-made, sturdy, and with great articulation. Unfortunately it's about as robust as the $20 Hoth Trooper, except this time, it's $34. If you can get it on sale, get two - but at full price, one may be a little pricey. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,055: R7 Unit (Blue, 2023 Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 15, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R7 Unit (Blue, 2023 Pride Collection). It's blue! And it's different from the other blue and white R7 units that have been in circulation since around 2008 - they don't come much more blue than this. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,052: Inquisitor (Fourth Sister, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 3, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Inquisitor (Fourth Sister, The Black Series). This is a pretty good figure - she's sort of a nobody on Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it's rare that we get a new alien with some color to her. Sure, it's another black leather Inquisitor costume, but at least you get somebody with orange skin and multiple head tails. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,051: R6 Unit (Green/Teal, 2023 Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 1, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R6 Unit (Green/Teal, 2023 Pride Collection). The set was very briefly on sale earlier this week - but now it's back to full price. Well you can still get it and it still looks cool. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,050: Tusken Raider (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 27, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (The Retro Collection). He's a little different - the silver coloring and head sculpt deviate a little from the original, likely giving you another reason to pick up what is effectively another variant in your old figure collection. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,049: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 25, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection). It's a new-ish figure. He has no jacket, but he's $16.99. Much of the tooling is recycled from the Solo: A Star Wars Story figure. It's not bad per se, but it not being a 100% new sculpt at this price may leave you not loving the shortcomings of the old-style legs and hoping it could be as good as some of the all-new figures we've had in the last couple of years.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,048: Like Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 20, 2023

We are experincing some road-related technical problems so SDCC updates will have to wait until the weekend - but this was written early, so here goes!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Like Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser, The Black Series). You liked him in The Mandalorian, and you'll probably appreciate that this figure is changed a little bit of what you expect in Return of the Jedi, but with a different vest and belt buckle and a black cloak. If you can find it, you're probably going to want it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,047: R5 Unit (Yellow, 2023 Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 18, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R5 Unit (Yellow, 2023 Pride Collection). It's bright, it has a red dot on it, and the yellow lighter highlights pop nicely. The darker yellow painted parts are hard to notice. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,046: R2-D2 (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, July 13, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: (The Retro Collection). Slightly more compelling than the title character of Andor, A Kenner R2-D2-esque droid made a cameo in a trailer yesterday, but I plan these things weeks in advance - what a coincidence! The 1978 droid always looked a little weird, but now you can get a nearly-perfect one at a decent price. It's just as good as I remember, and in better shape, so I'd recommend it to Kenner fanatics.
