Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hasbro do that Grogu (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection) that they do so well!

This is a pretty clever idea for a product. It's a reissue of the obscure Kenner Dagoah training backpack, with a reissue of "The Child" and a frog from 2021. Since the wave never hit mass market retailers it can be tough to say if it sold well or not, but I rarely saw them on closeout shelves and odds are a lot of fans might want it just for the backpack. I think it's worth getting, but I generally like all of these a fair amount. Also I believe this is my last unreviewed Retro figure until the red dot ships their exclusive set around the end of the month. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Velken Tezeri (The Vintage Collection). The 2023 figure is the first - and likely only - incarnation we get of this guy. I'm delighted and amazed Hasbro did him at all, given the obscurity. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - New Landspeeder? Why are they packing in a deluxe figure? Why are we getting redundant figures? Par for the course. What's up with tariffs? Who knows?

Also, we're out of questions for next week. Send in new questions.

Over on eBay, The Cardboard Galaxy has some new (and new-to-me) stuff I was thinking about picking up. I assume this means you'll want them, too. And as I am part of the eBay affiliate program, these are affiliate links, so feel free to click often and buy things.

The Retro Death Star Figure Display Multilevel Playset is listed as being DETOLF-sized and looks like a mishmash of Kenner art from before 1980. It's pretty gorgeous, there's even a Millenniun Falcon painting in there. It's $50.

An upgrade set, the TVC Streets of Mos Eisley Accessory Set Backroom Base Arch Insert goes with the just-released Mos Eisley set. It adds a floor, some scenery, and a whole room. It looks like you can configure it a few different ways, which makes me think I need one and a couple more of Hasbro's set.

Head over to Instagram and check out Fantha Tracks' post on a new action figure set. The Book of Boba Fett collection will be coming to Disney parks soon, and includes R5-R4 (drinks), R0-1N6 (drums), GS-C1B, and JZR-T (salads and go.) There are several photos so be sure to page through the gallery as you take bets on if they are holding it for May 4 or if it will go up sooner.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yoda (Epic World of Action). I got mine online, and I hope you'll see it in stores. For $8 you get Hasbro's best prequel-era Yoda figure yet, with excellent articulation and three good accessories. The lightsaber is no surprise, the Sith energy thing is pretty cool... but a tiny clear green Starfighter? Now that's impressive.

The 2025 figure has those ball-ish shoulders you love, plus swivel wrists. If you only buy one figure from this particular range of figures, it should be Yoda. The other figures in the wave have more articulation and features, but only Yoda has a tiny ship. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jedi Master Sol (The Retro Collection). He came out last year as part of a boxed set for a Disney+ streaming series, with unique robes using surprisingly cool material. He has an extra chunk of hair on his head, the articulation is good, and he's been off and on sale. But do you need one? Read on!

Also, check out a new (but old-looking) mini site for the Retro Collection. Here is a big list of action figures along with links to existing reviews, and places where you can buy them while they're hopefully still cheap. If you've ever wondered how many aliens, vinyl capes, droids, or removable helmets were in this line it's your lucky day.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Have we seen the things I was excited about? Also Packaging! You may not think it's worth much, but it costs a lot to produce.

Star Wars The Vintage Collection Streets of Mos Eisley Playset with Jawa has shipped, and it's pretty good. Odds are if you own a few action figures, you have ones that will look good on this. I think I want to buy a second (or third) one.)

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IG-12 with Grogu and Anzellan (The Vintage Collection Deluxe). Most likely in a store near you somewhere, the figure is $25 - and has a couple of little guys with it, and those aren't cheap to make. But it's also a retool of a figure you probably purchased for half the price a few years ago. Read on!

Ad: More oldness! If you missed the hard-to-get (and expensive on the secondary market Star Wars The Retro Collection Return of the Jedi 3 34-Inch Action Figures Set of 6 - Exclusive, you can get it! It's one of many Star Wars: The Retro Collection action figures and sets at Entertainment Earth. This set is famous for having a reissue of Yak Face as well as a new-to--the-line Mon Mothma, both of which are due to ship later this year.

If you're new to this line and want something else to get sooner, I recommend the Star Wars Ahsoka Retro Collection 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Wave 2 Case of 8. Why? Chopper is a lot like the old R2-D2, Sabine Wren has an awesome removable helmet and extra accessories, Hera Syndulla is really good, and this particular Ahsoka has retooled hands. It's a good pack.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Epic World of Action). The 2025 model has more motion at the shoulders and hips, plus adds knee and elbow joints. The lightsaber is overpowered too, take a look at the energy bolts coming from it - it's pretty cool, and hopefully will be in a store near you soon. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Are the kid figures better in 2025? Yes! Will HasLabs be delayed by tariffs? Well... let's speculate wildly, but one thing I do know is that they will likely cost a lot more.

I've been involved with collecting Star Wars for most of my life and have been writing about the toys and collectibles for decades. While I have heard countless complaints, one I have never heard was "there just isn't enough Star Wars stuff." This non-complaint is being addressed again, as Disneyland News Today reports Death Star Popcorn Bucket, Coaxium Sipper, and More ‘Star Wars’ Season of the Force Souvenirs Coming to Disneyland. There's a very cool Tauntaun popcorn bucket with what appears to be articulated limbs. There's what is clearly an "I Dream of Jeannie" bottle that is being pitched as a Star Wars cup. There's also a pretty slick Clone Trooper helmet that is also a bucket.   There are a lot of creative ideas here mixed with props that don't normally get produced as a licensed product.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-BNE (Bunny, Holiday Droid Factory). After selling out online, an announcement for this figure fast became one of my most-reblogged and liked Tumblr posts. I'm not sure if the theme parks still have it in stock - it's a Disney Parks exclusive - but you should probably grab it soon if you see it. It has new rabbit ears on the same mold Disney has been using, but do you have another blue and pink droid? Probably not. So get this one! Your friends will love it, so buy an extra for them, too.
