Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection). This one is interesting - the arms, legs, and lower torso are basically just the Snowtrooper from last year. The helmet and chest look a lot like the Shoretrooper or any of a number of Rogue One-era Imperials. The walker itself is impressive, yet expensive. The gaps of the legs were filled with panels, with painted buttons and screens on the console. There's never been an AT-RT with more articulation, plus it has really amazing snowy gunk paint on the legs. And on the other hand, it's $68. Read on!
Good news - Walmart stores in the United States are resetting their toy aisles! Numerous items from Hasbro and other toymakers are on the shelves for The Mandalorian and Grogu, including the new, large, 4 1/2-inch scale ActionVerse. Bad news: there was no sign of any The Vintage Collection action figures to be seen.
Ad: G.I. Joe Classified Series Legacy Collection Action Soldier 6-Inch Action Figure is new and in stock while supplies last. Also, pre-order the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Orray & Geonosian Picador. It's coming later this year!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Veers (AT-AT Driver, The Vintage Collection). The Imperial Officer buck from a few years ago is retooled with one of the best original trilogy human likenesses we've ever had. The helmet is removable. There's no chin strap or micorphone. The armor is fused to the chest. But it looks amazing, so you probably want to upgrade your 2006 Veers or your 2010 generic AT-AT Driver. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (1995 Classic Edition 4-Pack). A semi-infamous collection of figures due to their smaller stature and altered colors from the 1970s and 1980s originals, these figures are an interesting curiosity today.
This Toys "R" Us exclusive Han has a "Kenner blue" blaster, only it's a different blue... and the original Han never had a blue blaster. Despite predating scanning technology, Han retains a surprising amount of detail that we saw lost in the 2019 The Retro Collection reissue.
This figure also aged incredibly well, at 31 years old I feel no oily residues or squeaky joints. Further, the 4-pack is still somewhat cheap if you're in the market for some oddball variations like these guys. I should have given them a look earlier, but I have to admit they're far more interesting in 2026 given the thousands of figures that have come since his debut. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend, The Vintage Collection). He might be at a Ross near you, because life is weird. This is a great figure! He shares parts with other figures, but he also has new parts and deco like a distinctive set of goggles and a vibe that matches that one statue that was super expensive that you probably didn't buy. He's neat for $20, but for $5? Buy two, he's great. Read on!
Ad: Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Deluxe Baze Malbus 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure is up now you can pre-order yours today. While not his first 3 3/4-inch figure, it is his first release with more than five points of articulation at this scale.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Hoth Gear, Shaven, The Vintage Collection). It's from a 4-pack, and has a body that was 11 years old when it was new... and it still looks pretty good. It has the obvious limitations on articulation granted from being an older figure with classic hip joints and swivel wrists, but it's still a pretty nifty figure to fill out your snow dioramas. The goggles don't fit so well though. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yoda (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection). Is he $19ish worth of figure? Not really, but the shiny paint looks really cool. The clear limbs are fine, but I think it might look better if he wasn't part ice sculptor. The designers did a nice job showing one kind of material transitioning into something more ethereal, though, and it's an impressive figure all the same.. Read on!
Ad: Star Wars the Black Series Toys & Action Figures from Maul: Shadow Lord are now up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth! Maul (no Darth) joins Devon Izara, the Eleventh Brother, and Rook Kast. These ffour igures from the new cartoon are due in May 2026.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mandalorian Shriek-Hawk (Blue and Brown Chest Armor, Pale Yellow Right Shoulder, The Vintage Collection). He doesn't have his own name - that I know of. Sure, it's made from a lot of old parts, but so were the costumes. If you missed the set initially, I have good news: it's still available, and it sells for less than I paid for it. If you look at this Amazon affiliate link, it's $42.25 - I paid $64.99 back in 2024. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Night Trooper (All-White Helmet, The Vintage Collection). It's a 2024 release with four figures, all of which have at least some unique parts - the ribbons are differently configured per trooper, and the helmets are painted differently. This one has a helmet that's mostly white, with a little gold on it. That's good! But it uses a mold that's feeling more than a little old. He could use a hip replacement. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (The Vintage Collection). She's gone now - and hopefully she'll come back, because this is a good figure with swappable hoods. The hair is a separately molded piece, the face printing is good, and this figure is about as good as you can get with molded plastic. I'm impressed by the waist joint and how her dress hangs over the belt just a bit. The only real shortcoming might be how her sleeves bend with the elbow joints, which may make another case for swappable, pre-posed arms that may look better on display. Point is, you should get one of these. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection). He's a lot like regular Ben, but with ice sculpture hands and feet, and for some reason you can see through his robes. I like the opaque bits a lot, but I feel the clear blue bits are losing me the more I look at these guys. Props to Hasbro for excellent metallic paint on the opaque parts, I think they're on the right track and hopefully we'll get something without see-through clothes after he's dead. How undignified. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). Still in a Target near you, this slightly-repainted version of Vader has very nice red lenses and some red lightning on his hands. And lightsaber. And a big plastic wad of it, just for fun. It's more or less the same as the figure packed with the mech, plus or minus deco and gear. It's pretty impressive for the price, showing that there's a massive chasm continuing to grow between "expensive collector figure" and "perfectly good action figure." I like this set - it feels like a box of toys. Read on!
