Figure of the Day

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,983: IG-88 (and Dengar, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 6, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IG-88 (and Dengar, The Retro Collection). The droid shares parts with Hasbro's Kenner's IG-11, which means it's a much less sharp release than the original from the 1980s. However, the orange paint is much more generous - so at a distance, this is the one that looks better. If you get close, you'll see a lot of the sculpted lines aren't quite as impressive as an actual old IG-88 though. Even if you have an original, this is a variant that's arguably interesting enough to pick up.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,982: Dengar (and IG-88, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 1, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dengar (and IG-88, The Retro Collection). His details are not as sharp as the original at all, but he can hold his blaster straight this time. That's arguably a big improvement in this Amazon exclusive figure set. The skin tone is somewhere in between the peachy and yellowy old faces you may have seen, with what feels like rock-solid construction and freely moving joints. Other than the fuzzy sculpted detail, Hasbro did a real good job here and the Kenner-style paint job turned out really well. And yes we have comparison photos with the originals. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,981: Axe Woves (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 29, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (The Vintage Collection). It's a body we've seen reused a few times, but with a new head and new deco - but that's fine, it's a good mold. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,980: Viper Probe Droid (Droid Factory / Disney)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 24, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Viper Probe Droid (Droid Factory / Disney). It's smaller than previous Kenner and Hasbro molds, but the detailing is really good and according to some reference sources, the smaller size is more accurate to The Empire Strikes Back too. But it's Thanksgiving, you're not reading toy reviews. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,979: Boba Fett (and Bossk, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 22, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (and Bossk, The Retro Collection). It's a rerelease of a remake, with a couple of subtle differences that may just be batch variations - but hey, he holds his gun better, isn't that worth a look? Also Amazon has him in stock as I write this, but you came to know if it's any good. Read on for the full review!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,977: Bespin Security Guard (Isdam Edian, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 15, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bespin Security Guard (Isdam Edian, The Vintage Collection). It's Lando parts with a new head and torso, but generally gets the job done. I just wish they actually gave one of the last few vintage figures left to update an original sculpt since the legs look a little weird, as do the cuffs around the sleeves, since they were not intended for this one.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,976: Protocol Droid (Holiday Edition, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 10, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Protocol Droid (Holiday Edition, The Black Series). This candy cane-ish robot has a green scarf and other highlights, plus a tiny BD droid buddy which makes the lightly higher price tag sting less than other, no-buddy repaint exclusives in recent years. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,975: R3-T2 (Disney Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 8, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-T2 (Disney Droid Factory). It's a remake of a Hasbro exclusive for Entertainment Earth from 2006, and Disney made it look a lot better with more accurate details and brighter colors. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,974: R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick's Astromech Droid, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 3, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick's Astromech Droid, The Vintage Collection). Nice droid, not so nice price - it's $17 for a repaint of a $10 R2-D2, and a lot of the accessories are left out. It's a bit ridiculous, but if you want this droid for the X-Wing droid socket, this is your option. He's also a little short for the socket, which is part of a toy vehicle that has been in circulation and retooled since 1998. At least they painted the droid nicely. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,973: NED-B (Disney Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 1, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: NED-B (Disney Droid Factory). It's a dirty robot, and a pretty good one. Also, shorter than the Retro Kenner release, despite being a Disney-made theme park figure. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,972: Migs Mayfeld (Morak, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 27, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Migs Mayfeld (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It just came out, and Target marked him down immediately. It's a very nice figure though, and it looks just like Bill Burr if his head was the size of a peanut. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,971: Din Djarin (Morak, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 25, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Din Djarin (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It's a costume, so it's about right for Halloween season. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,970: Dark Trooper (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 20, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (The Black Series). It's a big one! The black plastic is shiny, the articulation actually seems worth the upcharge - but the chest is a tiny bit loose on the body, like a vest. It's a stunning display piece and a neat figure for Dark Forces and The Mandalorian fans, so grab one if you can. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,969: 1-JAC (Disney Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, October 18, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 1-JAC (Disney Droid Factory). This figure has blasters fused to his legs and hands that can't hold guns - it's a new sculpt, so this seems like a deliberate attempt to keep the figure less exciting than Disney's previous 4-LOM mold. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,968: Boba Fett (Morak, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 13, 2022

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It's hanging around here, and you can probably find this Target exclusive just by going to the store. I don't doubt the upcharge to $20.99 helps keep them around, but it is a fairly nice figure despite the price. Read on!
