Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: RG-G1 (The Vintage Collection). You can still get it in a set from Amazon, and it's pretty great - they even gave him a new mold for the dome in addition to very distinctive deco. I like it. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - The Best Figure - what is it? Also put a ring on it - it being a Jedi Starfighter.

Also, we do have ramblings on the Cantina patron market flaring up and things starting to be unavailable on eBay because demand spiked and supply was never huge in the first place. Let's just say I hope you already bought Trinto Duaba with Dice Ibegon.

This one uses the Silhouette II car, which looks kind of like a single version of the Twin-Pod Cloud Car, and is based on one of the very first Hot Wheels cars. Also the design is beautiful.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (RacerVerse). I really like this one too - I've been seeing him at Target if you want to go see one in person, and he's worth the six bucks. Sure, there isn't a full X worth of wings, but it's a charming little toy and the kind of thing that's fun to scoot around on your desk. It's more of an actual toy than a toy-shaped collectible, so if you have kids or tracks or race little cars, absolutely go get one of these. And if you're sick of car that's OK, we have one more Friday and that's it. Read on!

I picked this one up at 99 Cents Only stores (RIP) a few years ago and opened it a couple of months ago. It's pretty nifty - basically they slapped a racing stripe on the Falcon and slapped a metal ship on a plastic sled with wheels. It's pretty good - if you have a launcher, it'll go pretty far with a slight nudge. It's also one of the faster cars I've got when I tried it in a downhill race, but wasn't fast enough to beat the Slave I Carships toy I got. Read on!

You've seen the original film, and maybe the Holiday Special... but how about The Richard Pryor Show? In 1977 the comic was given the masks, with which he mixed-and-matched costumes, to make a comedy sketch that shows some extended shots of many famous rubber faces. It also shows how cheap the masks were when not edited properly, but you'll see familiar faces like Pons Limbic (Brainiac), Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead), and Muftak - with pants and suspenders, no less. I don't know how "canon" any of this is, but remixed aliens are a fascinating thing and you can see them below.

It's Wheels Week, and this is the reason why - I saw her in a store and said "wait, what else have I missed?" It's basically a 1980s McDonald's Happy Meal toy, but with the quality of a Hot Wheels car, and also it's a ship you don't see as a toy very much. It's a winner. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hot Wheels Han Solo (Twinduction). It's Wheels Week, so let's go through my stash of cars and see what was sitting around - this one is not the best, but it has some nice graphics on the card and on the side of the car itself. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Refreshing the Core Cast - will it happen? Also Parsing the Parts in the Cantina - do you wait to buy the part you want, or buy the whole thing and part it out?

Also, we're out of questions for next week. But we do have ramblings on May the 4th and some other things.

...in a handy alcove of the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Cantina Playset, now open for crowdfunding!  Apparently you can fit all seven Modal Nodes members - if you had the foresight to buy them, like any other good hoarder - in one of the many alcoves included in the set.  It's a little smaller than what we saw on screen through the magic of movie editing, but it looks like they fit.  It also looks like the set displays quite nicely in chunks, possibly giving you a better display option than having it all set up like you might build a movie set.  Check it out.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Epic Hero Series). You can probably find him in a store now, and he's pretty good - he has a backpack for Grogu, and a lightsaber, and looks just like a decent toy. Get it if you have a few bucks. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-RNBW (Pride Collection). It's Pride season, and this is probably the most colorful droid we've ever been offered - there are a ton of individual paint applications and some extra gray squares I may not be hip enough to identify. Regardless, it looks cool - this little robot has colorful boxes, vents, and outlines all over and really stands out in a sub-category known for being pretty colorful. Should you get one? Well I would. Read on!
