Hasbro Reveals SDCC 2024 Exclusives (No 3 3/4-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 27, 2024

Last year, our San Diego Comic-Con exclusive was Krrsantan with a variant head and some extra gear at a big mark-up. While it wasn't sold on the show floor, you could buy it in an off-site exhibition with decades of Hasbro and Kenner toys on display. (Before you say "no it couldn't," yes you could, I bought mine there.) This year, your exclusive is a 6-inch Darth Maul with a Sith Speeder! It's not uncool, but there was another Maul in another figure 3-pack pretty recently. IGN posted a story showing it as well as Death's Head (for Marvel Legends and Transformers fanatics), Cobra Commander (in a new-to-toy format), and a 2-pack of Megatron and Orion Pax for Transformers.

One nice thing about this set is that it comes in a very 1999/2000-style red and black box.  I don't know if there's a lot of nostalgia for it, but I quite liked it and had fond memories of the whole launch of the movie and its toys.

In case you forgot, GameStop got the 3-pack with Maul, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon earlier this year.  If you don't want the probe or the speeder, you might want to pick that up.

For those keeping track at home, these are new versions of existing characters, in some cases with new accessories - no character is debuting in this format for the convention, although hard core fans may appreciate some of the specificity and variations to be had. I was certainly surprised to see this specific Cobra Commander and this specific Death's Head finally, and I bet a lot of fans will really enjoy them.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,149: RG-G1 (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 27, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: RG-G1 (The Vintage Collection). You can still get it in a set from Amazon, and it's pretty great - they even gave him a new mold for the dome in addition to very distinctive deco. I like it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,148: Nalan Cheel (Fanfar, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Nalan Cheel (Fanfar, The Vintage Collection). It's the same as Figrin D'an, but has a unique instrument - and you'll want the band boxed set for the HasLab Cantina. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,142: Luke Skywalker (Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 13, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Epic Hero Series). You can probably find him in a store now, and he's pretty good - he has a backpack for Grogu, and a lightsaber, and looks just like a decent toy. Get it if you have a few bucks. Read on!

Star Wars: The Retro Collection Figures from The Acolyte Coming

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 11, 2024

This morning Slashfilm surprised fans with their story The Acolyte's Osha And Adorable Droid Pip Are Now Star Wars Action Figures [Exclusive]. The big highlight is a six pack of figures from The Retro Collection with Osha Aniseya, Mae, Mother Ainiseya, Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon, Jedi Master Sol, and Yord Fandar.

From The Vintage Collection we also get a look at Osha, and pre-orders are coming soon on these figures.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,141: R3-RNBW (Pride Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 11, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-RNBW (Pride Collection). It's Pride season, and this is probably the most colorful droid we've ever been offered - there are a ton of individual paint applications and some extra gray squares I may not be hip enough to identify. Regardless, it looks cool - this little robot has colorful boxes, vents, and outlines all over and really stands out in a sub-category known for being pretty colorful. Should you get one? Well I would. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,140: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, June 6, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection). Based on his appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, this Kenner-style figure isn't quite as Kenner-y as some others - he more or less fits in, but lacks the detail and distinctive body language of the old guys. But it's a $12 Cad Bane, and he can stand and sit, and has a swell hat. Also he's one of the few figures where a vinyl cape might have been good to serve as a coat - but in this case, the coat is molded to the figure so it doesn't get in the way of him sitting in your old vehicles.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,139: Jango Fett (Deluxe, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, June 4, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jango Fett (Deluxe, The Vintage Collection). It may not be configured to match either of his specific looks in the movie, but all of the parts look good. The helmet is lacking his post-Kamino dent, but you do get the second jet pack - and a lot of nice articulation and painted detail. It is very nice, but given you likely have cheaper figures that are truer to the scene, you'll have to weigh "better proportions and slightly better articulation" against "already have something like it in your closet."

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,138: The Mandalorian (Glavis Ringworld, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 30, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Glavis Ringworld, The Black Series). This one's a bit different - he has a cloth cape and a knife he can keep in his boot, making it one of the better versions of the character you can buy. It's in The Book of Boba Fett packaging. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,137: Stormtrooper (Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 28, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Stormtrooper (Epic Hero Series). It looks sort of like a 1990s POTF2 figure, but with slightly less bulky proportions. The head is small, the blaster is huge, and it's actually quite charming. I'd like more of them. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,136: LOM-Series Protocol Droid (Black, Droid Factory)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 23, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: LOM-Series Protocol Droid (Black, Droid Factory). It's a bin build-a-figure so you may never see it again, but hey, it's neat and the kind of droid thing you'd probably be happy to see in a store if such things were possible in 2024. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,135: Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, May 21, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (The Retro Collection). While a retro figure, this one also seems to have trace amounts of modern figures - he looks like some of the 5-jointed figures from about 12-13 years ago, but does some unique things like sculpts the Padawan braid as a part of his shoulder. He's in that six pack that seems to be available still at a Target near you, or across town, as they seem to be selling just fine around here. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,134: Battle Droid (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, May 16, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Battle Droid (The Retro Collection). This one's a little weird - the sculpt looks similar to the 1999 figures, but the backpack took design cues from Boba Fett. It's melting into the back, and while it looks weird I do enjoy the design decision as it's based on an actual Kenner product. Also the Battle Droid has a far more interesting pose than most Retro figures, with a bent elbow that gives him a lot of personality. Read on!
