By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 26, 2025

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, August 25, 2025

It's time for another Q&A flashback! Don't worry, the month is almost over, we can get back to your normally scheduled... something. It's been a slow year given that we got at least a couple of new shows and a movie on deck, isn't it?

Reminder: HasLab Republic Gunship Ends in 14 Days (and New Pics)

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, August 25, 2025

Over the weekend, MrStevie18 posted a ton of HasLab Republic Gunship pictures from its showing in Canada. Really! There are a lot! These new angles may show you thinks you missed before, so be sure to give it a look.

You will, of course, need some new figures to go with it.  Lucky for you, Hasbro has done a ton of great Geonosis-adjacent figures that are on the market right now.  I put together a page with some of them so you can check them out and start shopping.   A lot of collectors seemed to tune out between 2008 and 2014, and there were loads of ultra-obscure humans with lightsabers designed specifically to go with a Geonosis Arena collection.

The Star Wars The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship is up for pre-order/funding consideration for about 14 more days. It is currently 3,751 / 8,000 units backed, so if you want one?

It's time for another Q&A flashback for me to celebrate me writing about toys for 30 years! How self-centered!

Today: Is it safe to take apart the Republic Gunships? (From 2006!)

It's kind of timely.   I've been going through older toys and seeing some weird oily sweat as well as discoloration due to the ravages of time.   Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,269: Asajj Ventress (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, August 21, 2025

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Asajj Ventress (The Vintage Collection). There have been a few Ventress figures, but this is the first realistic 3 3/4-inch interpretation of her 2008 The Clone Wars look. We've had a Tartakovsky version about 20 years ago (and a few realistic ones based on that0, a cartoon version in 2008, and a 6-inch version based on pretty much this same sculpt. At this size it's a unique look in a distinctive costume, and I think she turned out really well. Get this one if you can find it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,268: Carson Teva (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, August 19, 2025

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,264: B5-R4 (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory) is an actual new figure! We don't get a ton of new characters these days, so it's exciting when one shows up. Carson Teva has a unique jacket with tiny patches printed on it and shows Hasbro's increasingly impressive engineering with good articulation. He can stand, he can hold his blaster, and most importantly he can fit in most X-Wings (as far as I tested.) Great job on this one, you should get him. Read on!

ICYMI: Healey Made X-Raider In Stock for 3 3/4-Inch Figure Fans

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, August 18, 2025

In case you missed it (like I did), Healey Made has a new 3 3/4-inch X-Raider action figure in stock. Sculpted by Walrus Man sculptor Stephen Geddes, and painted like Fisher-Price Adventure People, I just ordered one. I like these guys a bunch.

If you like Retro Collection-style Kenner figures, these fit right in.  If we're seeing this Raider, I imagine the Assassin and Trooper figures will be getting a similar treatment next month.
