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.

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."

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Queen Amidala (The Retro Collection). She's in that six pack at Target you may find now, and has a lot of very 1980s details like the wavy fabric pattern on her leg interiors as well as the Leia-ish poses of her hands. She also has some thing no original figure had, like the extended collar element and her long hair. Overall, it's a pretty great figure. Read on!

ShopDisney posted a couple of Pride products, and they're really cool. The R3-RN8W Droid Factory Figure – Star Wars Pride Collection may well be the best figure they've done so far - maybe R2-RNBW is better, I don't know, I haven't been able to get one after a few years - with a clear dome, black body, and tons of color. It's great.

Also new is a R2-D2 Slider Pin – Star Wars Pride Collection – Limited Release, which has a moving droid part on it.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (The Retro Collection). As part of the new Episode I retro 6-pack, this is a pretty nice figure - the lightsaber and fabric cloak are great accessories, while the figure has a nice head sculpt that looks like it would fit in with a lot of the originals. The hair would've broken right off the head were it made in the 1980s probably, so just be happy that this one was made in modern times. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jar Jar Binks (The Retro Collection). I have been seeing a steady trickle of this figure at Target, where it's an exclusive closed-box six pack with six individually carded figures inside. This is one of the better ones - his hands are more modernized than most retro figures, but he's still pretty charming and fits in more Mini-Rigs than I anticipated. Read on!
