I'm on Bluesky. It got really popular in the last couple of weeks, so I am posting a few fun things there - like this! And yes there's a typo in it, Bluesky does not yet have an edit function.
What you're looking at is The Vintage Collection The Armorer’s Forge Playset populated by some 2022 and 2023 The Retro Collection figures from The Mandalorian. The playset got some criticism for being unpainted and old-looking - which my brain immediately read and thought "Oh so like a Kenner playset?" It even has a little cabinet that opens with sticker detail inside. The actual toy does not light up.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jod Na Nawood (The Vintage Collection). In a wave of repaints and a couple of retools, this is the sole all-new guy - we haven't seen the show yet, but we do know it's Jude Law in some sort of quasi-pirate getup. It looks neat. The show comes out next month, where we'll find out if he raided Hondo's closet, or is a robot like in A.I., or is just a boring old Jedi. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cobb Vanth (Deluxe/Armor, The Vintage Collection). He's missing some paint on his legs, but the face is good, the armor is good, and as a solid packed case of 8 figures, he's probably going to be pretty common at US Target and Walmart stores this season. I've even heard isolated reports of markdowns already. Should you pick up the marshal of Mos Pelgo? Well, I did, I liked it. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: X-Wing Pilot (Duros, The Vintage Collection). Hasbro once again shows us they are masters of the head sculpt at the tiny size when they're so inclined, giving this blue-skinned alien an amazing noggin on an old Luke body. It's weird, and it's not from a specific movie or anything that I know of, but at least I can say Hasbro did a nice job on it and it looks cool. Read on!

Hasbro's address is 1027, and it's October 27, so we have some new reveals! The video above shows a lot of cool new stuff, and a few new reveals for Star Wars are there too. Pre-orders will go live shortly for The Vintage Collection Yord Fandar (The Acolyte), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend), and The Black Series Savage Opress. There were also new reveals over the weekend in London from MCM - Lt. Callahan (Ahaoka, new) and Aurra Sing (encore) from The Vintage Collection.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Arvala-7, The Vintage Collection) . This figure is shipping now and possibly in stock online - I haven't seen him in stores yet. He has a Beskar pauldron and revised hip joints, plus a different paint job compared to the 2020 figure. It's the kind of thing you probably expected back in 2019, but at least you can get it now and it's worth it. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Blurrg (The Vintage Collection). This is a pretty exciting toy, in no small part because it feels new. There was one in Mission Fleet but this is the first-ever 3 3/4-inch scale Blurrg. This one is from The Mandalorian, but you may remember it from The Clone Wars or Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. This may also be the single most interesting The Vintage Collection toy to come out for the rest of 2024.
It's sturdy, the articulation is good for a creature of this nature, and the paint is excellent. If you can find one, you should probably pick one up as we've gotten virtually no new creatures (or vehicles) in recent years, and this one is really fun. While it does come with another Mando figure - and we'll look at him shortly - it was also retooled to work with the creature, so at least it's a little different. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Osha Aniseya (The Vintage Collection). She is showing up at Walmarts and online stores right now, so the good news is you can find her. The better news is that she's excellent - the face is good, the wig looks decent (better in person), her accessories are exactly what I want, the vest fits well, and the articulation is good. This is a shining example of Hasbro doing everything right for a new streaming series show, because it came out within two months of the series concluding - which is also pretty good for the modern era, but not good enough when fans do so much of their buying before the movies would hit theaters. If you skipped the show (and it looks like that is most of you), this is still a good figure. If you hated The Acolyte, it remains a very good figure. Read on!
