Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,154: Marrok (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 16, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Marrok (The Retro Collection). He's from last summer's streaming show Ahsoka - don't forget The Acolyte ends tonight - and is a great little figure. The cape is nice, the lightsaber is cool, and it looks like a dark knight. Also it came and went from stores pretty quickly, so hopefully you got yours online already. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,150: Krrsantan (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, July 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Krrsantan (The Retro Collection). It's still not in any stores I've been to, and it came out late last year. It looks like a remixed Chewbacca figure, with things you didn't see in the 1980s like big armor and hands that can grip a blaster. In other words, it's pretty good - and hopefully you got one if you wanted one. Read on!

Star Wars: The Retro Collection Figures from The Acolyte Coming

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 11, 2024

This morning Slashfilm surprised fans with their story The Acolyte's Osha And Adorable Droid Pip Are Now Star Wars Action Figures [Exclusive]. The big highlight is a six pack of figures from The Retro Collection with Osha Aniseya, Mae, Mother Ainiseya, Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon, Jedi Master Sol, and Yord Fandar.

From The Vintage Collection we also get a look at Osha, and pre-orders are coming soon on these figures.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,140: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 6, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection). Based on his appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, this Kenner-style figure isn't quite as Kenner-y as some others - he more or less fits in, but lacks the detail and distinctive body language of the old guys. But it's a $12 Cad Bane, and he can stand and sit, and has a swell hat. Also he's one of the few figures where a vinyl cape might have been good to serve as a coat - but in this case, the coat is molded to the figure so it doesn't get in the way of him sitting in your old vehicles.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,135: Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 21, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Retro Collection). While a retro figure, this one also seems to have trace amounts of modern figures - he looks like some of the 5-jointed figures from about 12-13 years ago, but does some unique things like sculpts the Padawan braid as a part of his shoulder. He's in that six pack that seems to be available still at a Target near you, or across town, as they seem to be selling just fine around here. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,134: Battle Droid (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 16, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Battle Droid (The Retro Collection). This one's a little weird - the sculpt looks similar to the 1999 figures, but the backpack took design cues from Boba Fett. It's melting into the back, and while it looks weird I do enjoy the design decision as it's based on an actual Kenner product. Also the Battle Droid has a far more interesting pose than most Retro figures, with a bent elbow that gives him a lot of personality. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,133: Queen Amidala (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 14, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Queen Amidala (The Retro Collection). She's in that six pack at Target you may find now, and has a lot of very 1980s details like the wavy fabric pattern on her leg interiors as well as the Leia-ish poses of her hands. She also has some thing no original figure had, like the extended collar element and her long hair. Overall, it's a pretty great figure. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,132: Qui-Gon Jinn (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 9, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (The Retro Collection). As part of the new Episode I retro 6-pack, this is a pretty nice figure - the lightsaber and fabric cloak are great accessories, while the figure has a nice head sculpt that looks like it would fit in with a lot of the originals. The hair would've broken right off the head were it made in the 1980s probably, so just be happy that this one was made in modern times. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,131: Jar Jar Binks (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 7, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jar Jar Binks (The Retro Collection). I have been seeing a steady trickle of this figure at Target, where it's an exclusive closed-box six pack with six individually carded figures inside. This is one of the better ones - his hands are more modernized than most retro figures, but he's still pretty charming and fits in more Mini-Rigs than I anticipated. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,130: Darth Maul (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (The Retro Collection). To celebrate 25 years of the movie, as tomorrow is 25 years of Midnight Madness, we're going to review this 6-pack - currently at Target - until we look at 'em all. Maul's details are a little soft, but he has a better pose and is generally interesting to fuss with. He can't fit in the Sith Infiltrator though. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,126: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 18, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection). This is just like the last one, but they swapped the Amban Phase Pulse Rifle with a Darkaber from Moff Gideon. It's a good figure, but if you've been all-in so far, you have all of these parts. Read on!

Hallmark Goes Retro with Kenner Star Wars Darth Vader Action Figure Ornament

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, April 12, 2024

Via Hallmark: Star Wars™ Darth Vader™ Vintage Figure Ornament . Yes, that does indeed look like a carded Kenner action figure, with no weathering or funky stickers, that you hang on a tree. (True story, this is how my parents gave me a few of my figures on Christmas.) It's $22.99 and measures 3 x 4.5 x 0.7 inches... so you might want to just buy a Star Wars The Retro Collection Action Figures Set of 6, which includes Vader as well as an additional five figures.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,121: Morgan Elsbeth (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Morgan Elsbeth (The Retro Collection). I just saw her on clearance at Target over the weekend, but she's been scarce. This figure has no accessories, and is missing some key make-up detail, but is otherwise pretty excellent.  If you see her on sale, definitely pick up one.   Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,114: Yak Face (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 7, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yak Face (The Retro Collection). Depending on your age and when you got into these toys, this might be considered to be an unattainable grail - and Hasbro reissued it last year, making it available to most Americans for the first time at regular retail prices. He's a well-made replica that looks and plays great - the colors are a little tweaked, but considering buying a 6-pack of figures is probably cheaper than an unpackaged Yak Face has been for most collectors' careers, that's probably a worthwhile purchase. Or it would be, had it not already sold out. Read on!
