Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bespin Security Guard (Isdam Edian, The Vintage Collection). It's Lando parts with a new head and torso, but generally gets the job done. I just wish they actually gave one of the last few vintage figures left to update an original sculpt since the legs look a little weird, as do the cuffs around the sleeves, since they were not intended for this one.

This week in Q&A - Why aren't they making your favorite figure yet? Such is life. Are more armies coming? It's possible!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Protocol Droid (Holiday Edition, The Black Series). This candy cane-ish robot has a green scarf and other highlights, plus a tiny BD droid buddy which makes the lightly higher price tag sting less than other, no-buddy repaint exclusives in recent years.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-T2 (Disney Droid Factory). It's a remake of a Hasbro exclusive for Entertainment Earth from 2006, and Disney made it look a lot better with more accurate details and brighter colors. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-SHW (Antoc Merrick's Astromech Droid, The Vintage Collection). Nice droid, not so nice price - it's $17 for a repaint of a $10 R2-D2, and a lot of the accessories are left out. It's a bit ridiculous, but if you want this droid for the X-Wing droid socket, this is your option. He's also a little short for the socket, which is part of a toy vehicle that has been in circulation and retooled since 1998. At least they painted the droid nicely. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: NED-B (Disney Droid Factory). It's a dirty robot, and a pretty good one. Also, shorter than the Retro Kenner release, despite being a Disney-made theme park figure. Read on!
