Sometimes Dr. Zaius is right - you might not like what you find. Gamespot posted a reveal of Book Of Boba Fett's Luke Skywalker Gets Star Wars Retro Figure without acknowledging that they didn't. It is, in fact, a repack of the reissue of Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) from Kenner way back in 1983. It's a packaging variant for what I assume will be a popular figure with lots of demand, so that's good - but he doesn't have Luke's new shirt or boots. It's the same old thing.  Some pictures show a brown cloak, and some show black, so it's possible you might get a new black cloak here.

It's not even just different enough to make you mad - it's a real Kenner-style package logo/photo variation.  I should have seen it coming - it's a good economical idea for a business, less so for those of us who were hoping we might get the first post-trilogy Kenner-style Luke figure we've been wanting since the 1980s.

The review of the Return of the Jedi reissue - seemingly identical and shipping now - will be posted here on Thursday. (It's good.)

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython/Boba Fett's Starship, The Vintage Collection). It's presently exclusive as a pack-in to a very expensive $200 Boba Fett's Starship re-re-repaint. (Previously the vehicle has been exclusive to Toys R Us in Jango deco, Amazon in Boba Deco, and a shared Fan Channel ESB deco - and this is the Book of Boba Fett flavor.) It's a perfectly nice figure, but at $200 for just a ship repaint and a figure you're probably going to feel this wasn't the best value in the toy store. Read on!

Surprise! Hasbro's Kenner's The Retro Collection The Mandalorian (Prototype) figures are showing up in Phoenix, AZ for $14.99 each. (I found them, so it's a legit sighting.) Take care to examine both sides of the rifle for stress marks before making a purchase.   The figure has a gray cape and Kenner blue blasts, so it might be of interest to customizers and open toy collectors just for that.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Boushh, The Retro Collection). She looks different, and different is good - the head has a different personality from the original, making this seem like a long-lost variant made a mere 40 years later. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: New Republic Security Droid (The Black Series). It's a really neat figure, giving us a rare new droid with a new head that doesn't necessarily break the bank since it's being marked down on Amazon for $12.49. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tech M'or (Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, The Vintage Collection). It's a part of the white box band multi-pack, and it's great. They also announced a The Book of Boba Fett Tusken Raider army pack today, which also seems pretty great. It's nice to have aliens in the line again. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Emperor (The Retro Collection). It's very similar to the originals, which, oddly, are pretty cheap on eBay. The 2023 reissue has smoothed out the textures on the robes and the wrinkles on the hands and face are less wrinkly. If you have an open original you probably don't need the reissue, which looks incredibly similar to the genuine article unless you squint. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series). If you missed the last Aphra figure, this one adds a scarf and a coat plus new arms to make a new costume for the Marvel comic character. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!
