Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jango Fett (The Retro Collection). While a little too nice for a Kenner-style figure, it's not an unlikable toy. The jet pack is similar (but different) from what we got on Boba, bis blasters are cool, and the paint is more or less as good as any modern Jango toy. You should give it a look. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2 (Gingerbread, Holiday Droid Factory). I like this one - it came from the 2024 Advent Calendar, and it has a ton of paint on it. Lots of icing, lots of candy bits, and a tray of milk and cookies. I'd say you should get this one, even if you don't like holiday figures it's pretty good. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R1 (Holiday Droid Factory). This Advent Calendar figure is very tall, and mashes up a bell with a candy cane. It's not a bad idea, but it is a little on the weird side and may not have a home outside of a holiday set-up. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mandalorian Warrior (Amazon Exclusive 3-Pack, Epic Hero Series) . This Amazon exclusive seems to be in stock and $1 off through that handy affiliate link, and while she's not completely perfect to the costume seen in The Mandalorian I haven't seen any other action figure toys of this character. I think she's great, and one of very few figures exclusive to Epic Hero Series. For that reason, you'll want this set. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: BB-8 (Holiday Droid Factory). This Advent Calendar figure is a snowman, and we've had other snowdroids before - but this one has a teeny hat that I am sure is going to be a selling point.
I was delighted to see Hasbro announce a set of figures with Captain Pallaeon, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Alan Moore letting you know he hates you adapting his stories for movies, but then it was pointed out to me that it was Joruss C'Boath in this new STAR WARS The Vintage Collection STAR WARS: Heir to the Empire Figure 3-Pack for $49.99. It looks good, and other than this being the third more-or-less identical Thrawn figure in a year, I don't mind a Joruus figure.
Also exciting for the N64 generation, the STAR WARS The Black Series Luke Skywalker (Imperial Guard) & Princess Leia Organa (Boushh).
In light of the reveal today, it seemed worth bringing up this 2019 release - an unlicensed figure - from a 2022 entry in my Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise (Custom). It's the Smith Lord Creations release that was going around, and mine has - to put it mildly - imperfect paint. At the time it was the best option available short of making your own custom figure, and it was expensive - and now it looks like Hasbro is going to make something very similar for a fraction of the price. And I hope Hasbro does a lot more like this. If you never saw it before, check out this fan-made figure from a few years ago. Read the old review!
In what is arguably the most important news of the year for Kenner fanatics, Hasbro Pulse revealed six new - well, five new, and a sixth - Kenner Star Wars action figures from the film called Star Wars on social media today.
In this set you'll find the Rebel Fleet Trooper, Han Solo (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit), Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Walrus Man, Sandtrooper, and Dr. Evazan.
But why, you ask, is this exciting? Let's have a fake Q&A.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: B2EMO (Holiday Droid Factory). This Advent Calendar figure is short, but colorful - it comes with a lot of other robots and you can still order it while supplies last on the Disney shop or at your "local" theme park. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: X-Wing Pilot (Human Woman, The Vintage Collection) . If you wondered if slapping a new human head of nobody in particular on a Luke body works, it turns out that it does! Hasbro did a nice job making a decent human head, but it's not of any specific performer (as far as I know) and could well be a Hasbro or Lucasfilm employee. But it's a new pilot, and that's what you probably want here. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Paz Vizsla (Amazon Exclusive 3-Pack, Epic Hero Series). This Amazon exclusive comes in a 3-pack with Axe Woves (new) and an unnamed Mandalorian Warrior figure. Paz Vizsla is identical to the Deluxe figure in stores near you - but without the jet pack or firing rocket launcher. You probably don't need both versions, but if you want all figures and all gear, you're going to have both. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: D-0 (Holiday Droid Factory). It's a red repaint that comes in this year's Disney Advent Calendar - and I would say probably the least interesting droid of a pretty good collection for 2024. Read on!
