Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jecki Lon (The Retro Collection) . This is the only alien in The Acolyte set, and it's a short Jedi with a blue face and horns - but it also looks different from most of your other figures from this line or of this size. It's also currently the only 3 3/4-inch scale version of this character. She is sold in a six pack with other figures from the series. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Taym Dren-Garen (The Vintage Collection). I can't believe he exists, either - the retool (!) looks just like the human actor (!!) and it's a great addition to that shelf of minor characters that has been growing very slowly over the past decades. Also he's long sold out... but a good figure, if you can find one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Retro Collection). This one came out last year, and is very similar to the old Kenner figures minus the pose and texture. But it's close - and I like the format enough to say consider getting it anyway. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (Flashback/Dream Sequence, The Vintage Collection). It's a pretty good figure - and something of an improvement over the "realistic" take on the costume from over a decade ago. You can see how far sculpting and painting have come in 13 years, but your memory of the old one might be that it's fine, and therefore, not worth replacing. If you got $17 to burn this is a pretty nice figure, though. Read on!

Target added the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack. According to the page, this set is due around April 27 - that's over 50 days from today, and your card won't be charged until then so technically you're not yet buying it.



The set includes a Sandtrooper, Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Rebel Fleet Trooper, han Solo (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit), Walrus Man, and Dr. Evazan. I'm kind of surprised they didn't use one of the older names like Dr. Cornelius or Roofoo. Anyway, pre-orders are open and the set is $59.99 for six figures.

Ad: More newness! Synergy arrives with Daredevil: Born Again Marvel Legends Series Daredevil 6-Inch Action Figure, and other new items like Star Wars The Vintage Collection Momaw Nadon Deluxe 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure and Star Wars The Black Series Cassian Andor (Sienar Test Pilot) 6-Inch Action Figure should be of interest.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dedra Meero (The Vintage Collection). This is a good figure and should tie nicely into Andor, should she still be available when it airs. The articulation is good, the sculpting is nice, and she doesn't look too much like any other ISB agents you may already own. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection). I had her on my desk for months and thought I wrote the review - well, let's correct that! Here she is, and you might even find her at Ross for cheap. This wave never hit big box stores, which is a shame because they're all very good figures. Her removable helmet reminds me a lot of the old Boushh. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: HK-87 Assassin Droid (Arcana, The Vintage Collection). While a redeco, it also loses an accessory from the previous release - there's no blaster this time. But it's still an awesome droid based on 20th-century concept art, so you're probably going to be glad that you got one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This figure answers the question "Does Hasbro still got it?" with a "Yes." She has optional masks, a cloth cloak, two daggers, incredible costume deco, an amazing likeness, and a well separately molded hair piece. Given the size Hasbro is working with I'd say this figure is as good as the modern era can be expected to get - and you might, maybe, find her in a store near you as The Acolyte stuff has been slower to move. If you see her, you should give this figure a look - it's good. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mace Windu (The Retro Collection). While smoother than actual Kenner toys, this recent-ish release does look pretty cool with his cloak and purple lightsaber. Read on!

UPDATE:  There's a free shipping offer Monday, February 17 until 8:00 PM Pacific time. I just got mine. Order yours, save ten bucks.

UPDATE #2: As of February 20, the droid has sold out.  Keep an eye on Disney parks if you're in the market for one.

The Disney R2-BNE Star Wars Droid Factory Figure. Retailing for $14.99, it includes a debut hat. Adding to the holiday collection with what I assume the first-ever Easter droid - unless I missed one - should be a welcome addition to any collection. New orders are welcome. Shipping is about $9.99. Purchases may also be available at Disney parks or Downtown Disney locations, so keep an eye open. Right now, there's a free shipping code for $75+, "SHIPMAGIC." I don't think you'll want to miss this one. Details of the bio weren't shown, but it seems to indicate this is R2-D2 in Easter colors. Eggs-actly what I would want.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series). This is a new release that's actually easy to find - most Target stores seem to be getting solid cases of just him. (But, oddly, not the Mando bike.) The figure is pretty good, with nice paint and a slick off-white coloring that looks sort of like the battle-worn armor on the show. It also includes a Stormtrooper blaster instead of the Bike Scout pistol, but it's still a neat figure with a nice toy bike. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (The Vintage Collection). It's the first new version of this specific Luke at this size in years - it's been over a decade since he was in The Vintage Collection as a single-carded figure. Heck, the last best version was in a The Legacy Collection Battle Pack, so you're going to be pretty happy with this very good upgrade. Also exciting, it's a character from the movie called Star Wars, of which there are annoyingly few these days. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This is a really nice figure - she has a vinyl cape and two knives, with separately molded hair. She is in a six-pack sold online, so get her while you can. Read on!
