Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Death Watch Mandalorian (The Vintage Collection). It's a new sculpt and one of Habsro's very best. The range of motion is great, the center of gravity is good, and the joints move pretty freely so you won't feel "stuck" in a weird position. You'll love it. Buy an army. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fennec Shand (The Vintage Collection). This is one of the better figures - great likeness, excellent articulation, this is a figure that shows considerable improvement over the figures we got just five to ten years ago. You should get this one - it's a good character, a good costume, and a fantastic figure that will put a lot of other releases to shame. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: CB-23 (Droid Depot set, The Black Series). It's a BB-8 retool, and a reminder that the round roly-poly droid mold gets very little use. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Pit Droid (Droid Depot set, The Black Series). It's small, but impressive. It's a must-have, but also in a $75 exclusive box of mostly repaints. Should you get it? I think so. But it may not be worth your expense, unless you dig droids, and you probably do. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mace Windu (Redux, The Vintage Collection). It's a redeco of a retool whose bones start back at 2007. At the time it was pretty good - today it's a little stiff, with eyebrows that don't quite look right, and the lightsaber hilt doesn't plug into the belt due to size issues. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Archive, The Black Series 6-Inch). The orange box figure from the first phase of the series was hideous - this improves on it, but it's still a little gnarly looking. It goes to show just how much better a figure can look with the right colors of plastic and paint, but also that there's only so much you can do with an older sculpt. This is the best version of the mold - but a new mold would also be welcome. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Emperor (PulseCon/Throne, The Vintage Collection). It's a 2005 figure with a new head and accessories. It's arguably the best version of this particular mold, but the soft goods are - unsurprisingly - still quite bulky. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Grey (The Vintage Collection). It's yet another clone from The Bad Batch - and the face paint is really excellent. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Baze Malbus (Photoreal Redux, The Black Series). Check out that face - it's a huge improvement and makes the existing sculpt look spectacular. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Elite Squad Trooper (The Vintage Collection). It's a black repaint from Amazon that's more dark gray than black, but it still ain't bad. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper with Pauldron (The Vintage Collection). It's a shoulder pad on a figure you may have already bought, but in an army builder pack, which makes it pretty exciting. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: RC-1138 Boss (Gaming Greats, The Black Series). Sev should be up for pre-order any minute now, but how is Boss? Exactly as expected - pretty dang good. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Battle Droid (The Vintage Collection). It's a red redeco with no battle damage, exclusive to Walmart, and something I assume we're not likely to see in physical stores any time soon. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R1 (The Mandalorian Droid Factory Set). It's a new mold that looks like a retool - they fooled us! There are similarities between this and older R1 droids, but looking at it, there would pretty much have to be. Read on!
