The new Star Wars  Obi-Wan Kenobi (Force Spirit) hit in September, and our pal Phil is already finding them for $14.99!  I haven't even seen these in all stores in my area yet, but they are making the rounds.   In most major cities you can throw a rock and hit a Walgreens, or two.  

If you're lucky you might also find some basic figures from the newer waves next to this Force Spirit.   Happy hunting!

Based on the increasingly controversial new Battlefront II game, the Inferno Squad Agent is GameStop's exclusive TIE Pilot with a Stormtrooper belt and some new red paint.  I like it.  Read on!

One good droid deserves another - the BB-8 (Droid Factory Line Look) is a newish mold!   He's bigger than Hasbro's, but the deco is different - not better, not worse.  Neither seems truly superior, but this one is bigger and a little bit more adorable thanks to the eye seeming to have more life in it.  Read on!

Amazon's new exclusives are here early!   Amazon's Star Wars The Black Series Elite Praetorian Guard (with Heavy Blade) has a unique helmet and two distinctive weapons you won't find in other exclusives or the individual figures.  Grab yours here.

The Star Wars The Black Series First Order Stormtrooper with Gear includes a figure with a new helmet for The Last Jedi in addition to some new and previously seen accessories like the riot baton, riot shield, ammo pouch, jet pack, and more.  Click here to order it.

Not from Hasbro!  Disney's 2BB-2 (Droid Factory Line Look) is pretty slick and, for some reason, have the lettering backward.  Go figure.  It's a neat robot that looks kind of like a globe of Earth.  Read on!

You may have seen big displays of these in September, and now they seem to have dried up.  But why?  The Darth Vader (The Black Series, 6-Inch, Centerpiece) lights up and has places to put Stormtroopers while the Sith Lord tears down this wall.  It lights up, too.  Read on!

The new Kylo Ren is a 3 3/4-inch figure available in multiple configurations - this one is sold carded, with a cape, and has a painted scar on his face.  It's probably the best of these, unless he's also going to come out with the "space bandage" we saw in the movie trailer later.  Read on!

Possibly at a Walmart near you, the Elite Praetorian Guard (The Black Series) 3 3/4-inch figure is pretty cool - but looks different from the other ones.  The cloth robes allow for full leg movement, and the arms are nicely jointed.  Read on!

Thanks to the great Shannon, we now know Anaheim Disneyland has the Protocol Droids!  2 for $21.95. cheap.   I've got a bunch of these (thank you Shannon!) and reviews will be going into Figure of the Day semi-irregularly, as often as I can.   If you're in Southern California, perhaps a trip to the house of mouse is due soon.

There are multiple styles and colors, but not every droid is available in every color.  As far as we know there are no new styles available from Orlando, but if you discover otherwise please let us know!

What's kind of fascinating in the Disney era is that most figures look  better than ever.   Great sculpting and top-notch detail are the norm with very few exceptions, and this Yoda from the CG prequel design is possibly the very best one we've ever seen on that design.  The eyes have a subtle outline, the shoulders are able to move outward, plus he has both a cane and a lightsaber.  It seems like this is the figure most likely to sell out too - so get one if you see it. Read on!

The excessively named Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi 4-pk. Luke Skywalker (Jedi Master), Rey (Jedi Training), First Order Stormtrooper Officer & Resistance Tech Rose Figure Set by Hasbro is in stock on Kohl's web site.   The only actual exclusive in the set is the Stormtrooper, which may be a mix of parts already on the market - I haven't had the chance to examine it up close yet.  Retail is $49.99, but a 20% off coupon gets it down to about $35.99.

While C-3PO would fill in on your The Black Series shelves nicely, the value version of Captain Phasma might not.  She's about a head shorter, but as a standalone figure she's pretty cool for the asking price.   Phasma has a cape and a blaster, based on her The Force Awakens look - so no new spear here.   Read on!

If you like the cheap 6-inch figures, this C-3PO is one of the best.  It fits right in with your The Black Series figures, and its cheap, and hte paint is good.   It can't sit, but it's not like all of the joints of The Black Series ones added a ton to the overall experience.  Read on!
