And we continue the droid watch with BB-Series Droid (BB-8-style droid, white body and red head) - in theory, in Targets now in little blue boxes. It's the BB-9E body with BB-8's head and new colors. It also vaguely resembles something from WWI, which I assume was unintentional. Read on!
The nameless figure we are identifying as a R3-Series Astromech Droid (R3-Series, Clear Dome, Black Body with Orange Highlights) may be on an endcap at Target near you right now as part of a Galaxy's Edge campaign. I think this is my favorite one in the batch - clear dome, flame gets, Halloweeny colors. Also it's ten bucks, which is splitting the difference between this mold when it appears on The Vintage Collection cardbacks for about $13 and when it shows up in ForceLink-esque packaging. Read on!
GameStop has a new pre-order up: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Scout Trooper The Black Series Action Figure Only at GameStop. It's the one that came with the bike a few years ago, but with more gear and a higher price.
We're going to double our Figure of the Day articles for October! Come back every weekday (except Q&A Monday) for a look at figures like Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) - a reissue with different face paint! If you missed him before, now you can get one of your own. Read on!
This Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) is a lot like the one you missed in late 2011 - but just a bit different. If you missed the last one, this is a good substitute - but I kind of like the face on the original just a bit more. Read on!
If you missed the original in 2010, this Wicket (Ewok Redux, The Vintage Collection) is worth a look. The deco has been changed, the accessories are tweaked a bit, and it still has the green season 2 cartoon cowl. (It would've been awesome if the recolored it to match season 1 this time, but such is life.) Is it worth buying? Probably! Read on!

50% 67% 115% funded, the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Razor Crest has what appears to be a changing table, a urinal, and what could be a ball gag. And that's just in one picture. It has removable panels, removable engines, a 3 3/4-inch Beskar Mando with cloth cape, and unrevealed stretch goals. This is probably why it's $350. It also measures about 30-inches by 20-inches by 10-inches, so start looking for a shelf now. Order here and wait until Fall of 2021 to get yours.
Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (The Black Series 6-Inch) is available now - but it's not in big box stores, as it's a fan channel exclusive. What does that mean? Order it online, or ask if your local comic shop has it. It's big and cool, but it's $10 more than a regular figure. Is it worth it? Read on!
There are two releases of this Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper, The Vintage Collection) - last year's was in a 3-pack for SDCC, and this year's is on a cardback as pictured. The blasters are a tiny bit different. The head sculpts are new for these releases, while the Stormtrooper body is pretty old. Is it worth it? Well, it's better than the last one. Read on!
Check out Clone Commander Wolffe (The Vintage Collection)! There are new parts, there are old parts, and there's a great new head sculpt in there with the scarred eye. If you see it, go ahead and get one. Or order online, as that is the way these things are done now. Read on!
We assure you, K-2SO (The Vintage Collection) is new! Lots of articulation and paint has been added to this 3 3/4-inch figure, which you may have bought a couple of times in other formats by now. The spin-off with the character is a ways off, but at least you can enjoy having him early... or late. Read on!
It's in the movie! But not on the cardback photo. Power Droid (Lars Family Homestead, The Vintage Collection) can be yours, if you order online or find one in the wild at one per case. It's a retool of a previously exclusive Hasbro droid, but now it has a new hat - and tons of new deco, so it looks great. Read on!
New pre-order notice: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Darth Nihilus The Black Series Action Figure Only at GameStop. The 6-inch action figure is $24.99 and is due around October 26. It includes a lightsaber and unlike most figures these days, has cloth elements. Click here to see if you can still order one.
Hey it's Kit Fisto (The Black Series 6-Inch! It's the new Obi-Wan body with new hands and a new head. And the wrong lightsaber. But odds are your average collector won't notice, so it just looks like Kit Fisto, which is how it should look. Read on!
If memory serves the big Millennium Falcon debuted for about $180 in 2008, about 12 years ago, as part of Star Wars: The Legacy Collection. At the time, we thought it was the final "midnight madness," and possibly the beginning of the end - it wasn't. The ship had ups and downs, and got reissued in Toys R Us-exclusive a few years later was $250 thanks to increases in labor and materials costs.
Click here to check availability at Target.com. As of right now it is expected to be online only due to cost and size. Will it go on sale later? Well, given its high price, we don't have a precedent for knowing the edition size.
