Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Emperor's Royal Guard (The Retro Collection) . This sold-out exclusive looks pretty spectacular, with detail surprisingly close to the original from 1983. You've probably got one by now, but if not, this was a good figure to have. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Professor Huyang (The Vintage Collection). This is the Hasbro model - it's taller than the Disney Droid Factory one and has more accessories, so you'll probably want this one. Neither has the edge in paint, so if you care about height? Get this one. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Is there an end?  Not that I know of.  Also let's go on a tangent because we've got space.

Also, we're out of questions for two weeks from now.  Send some in, they're welcome!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Moff Gideon (Walmart Exclusive 2-Pack, Epic Hero Series). This Walmart exclusive is about $20, and that isn't too bad. He has different accessories than the single-carded release, including a jet pack which is unique. I like this one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Professor Huyang (Droid Factory). Hasbro made one too - Hasbro's is taller and has more accessories. Disney's has different paint applications - so neither is the superior figure, at least, on the surface. Since this one is in a gift set with more droids, should you pick it up? Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Playsets! Do we need them all?  Also overproduction - it's hard to measure, but solid figure cases sometimes will prove that it is not in a manufacturer's best interest to make sure you get the figure that you want.

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

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Admiral Ackbar (The Retro Collection). This is the reissue from last year, but you may have had the original for over 40 years - it's a neat one. The eyes on mine are a little off, but otherwise it looks fairly close to the original. It's not exact, but they never are. At least it's an awesome design, and the kind of thing you can't actually find on the pegs anymore as the line seems increasingly even more focused on human-faced aliens and conventional human body silhouettes. So get an Ackbar. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ezra Bridger (Hero of Lothal. The Vintage Collection). You're going to get something very similar with your HasLab The Ghost soon, but this one was painted to look a little more like the hologram on Ahsoka without getting a fully-sculpted makeover. If you see it, it's pretty good - the outfit fits the figure better than the outfit fit the actor. But the colors look nice. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Hair today! Gone tomorrow? And have you been checking out the Epic Hero Series exclusives? Amazon, Walmart, and Target have some - and I run them down, you lucky so-and-sos.

Also, Pulse Con happened and of course I have things to say about it within.

Read on!

Ad: New pre-orders galore! Super7 added new The Worst ReAction Figures dressing up for Halloween, looking a lot like classic aliens and droids from Kenner's Star Wars line-up.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Deluxe, Cyborg, Epic Hero Series). This Walmart exclusive is an inexplicable $20, and is awesome as it is confounding on so many levels. They retooled the figure's robe skirt to be shorter, but merely painted on the belt buckley parts. There's a clip-on piece of chest armor and a cool spinning lightsaber blade swirl, but these accessories can't possibly justify the $12 upcharge over a basic figure. Having said that, it's so weird, and so funky, that I would highly recommend it on sale or if we find out the price was some sort of clerical error that will be fixed at some point. It's well-made, but so strange in where the budget went and considering Walmart has a figure 2-pack while Amazon has a figure 3-pack for the same price, it's a mystery for the ages. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Warrior (The Retro Collection). This figure never showed up at Target or Walmart, but started showing up at Ross in the last month for $3.99. It answers the question "what if the 1978 Sand People had cloth robes?" It's quite excellent, if you see it for four bucks, buy two or six. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - The Acolyte! Are they still coming out with product? And Pilots! Who are these people?
