File under "News to me!" - Star Wars Action News on Instagram posted what looks like a packaged white-boxed Boba Fett from Diamond Select Toys.  They've been doing their own Marvel figures for years, but so far nobody has managed to get approval to do plastic Star Wars in this size - so perhaps some slicensing took place during Hasbro's latest contract renewal.  Click here to see Boba on the Gram.

We're going to double our Figure of the Day articles for October!  Come back every weekday (except Q&A Monday) for a look at figures like Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) - a reissue with different face paint! If you missed him before, now you can get one of your own. Read on!

This Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars Redux, The Vintage Collection) is a lot like the one you missed in late 2011 - but just a bit different. If you missed the last one, this is a good substitute - but I kind of like the face on the original just a bit more.  Read on!

Hasbro's PR team wrote in to say:

"In recent Hasbro Star Wars HasLab news, the brand has reached their stretch goal of 8,000 backers earlier today and subsequently revealed the second tier unlock for the HasLab Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Razor Crest – the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection The Child Figure with Pram!"

Also:

"Featuring a card back, head and arm sculpt, gear shaft knob, and Pram deco treatment you can only receive with the HasLab Razor Crest"

This probably means a mass retail release is coming, but even if it is, this is probably the easiest way to get yours.  (Even if it has a $350 ship with toilet with it.)

If you missed the original in 2010, this Wicket (Ewok Redux, The Vintage Collection) is worth a look.  The deco has been changed, the accessories are tweaked a bit, and it still has the green season 2 cartoon cowl.  (It would've been awesome if the recolored it to match season 1 this time, but such is life.)  Is it worth buying? Probably! Read on!

Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios (The Black Series 6-Inch) is available now - but it's not in big box stores, as it's a fan channel exclusive. What does that mean? Order it online, or ask if your local comic shop has it.  It's big and cool, but it's $10 more than a regular figure.  Is it worth it?  Read on!

There are two releases of this Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper, The Vintage Collection) - last year's was in a 3-pack for SDCC, and this year's is on a cardback as pictured.  The blasters are a tiny bit different.  The head sculpts are new for these releases, while the Stormtrooper  body is pretty old.  Is it worth it?  Well, it's better than the last one. Read on!

Check out Clone Commander Wolffe (The Vintage Collection)!  There are new parts, there are old parts, and there's a great new head sculpt in there with the scarred eye.   If you see it, go ahead and get one.  Or order online, as that is the way these things are done now.   Read on!

We assure you, K-2SO (The Vintage Collection) is new! Lots of articulation and paint has been added to this 3 3/4-inch figure, which you may have bought a couple of times in other formats by now.  The spin-off with the character is a ways off, but at least you can enjoy having him early... or late.  Read on!

It's in the movie! But not on the cardback photo.   Power Droid (Lars Family Homestead, The Vintage Collection) can be yours, if you order online or find one in the wild at one per case.  It's a retool of a previously exclusive Hasbro droid, but now it has a new hat - and tons of new deco, so it looks great.  Read on!

New pre-order notice:  Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Darth Nihilus The Black Series Action Figure Only at GameStop.  The 6-inch action figure is $24.99 and is due around October 26.  It includes a lightsaber and unlike most figures these days, has cloth elements.  Click here to see if you can still order one.

Hey it's Kit Fisto (The Black Series 6-Inch!  It's the new Obi-Wan body with new hands and a new head. And the wrong lightsaber.  But odds are your average collector won't notice, so it just looks like Kit Fisto, which is how it should look.  Read on!

Coming out of The Last Jedi toy launch, General Leia Organa (The Black Series 6-Inch) is a marvelous pre-"real" printing face figure.  She might even be one of the best figures out of that launch with exceptionally good articulation and pretty great deco.  You can also still buy her for retail or below if you look around.  Read on!

Not from Target! This Disney parks exclusive R6-Series Astromech Droid Silver with Purple is something you could build together - we're reviewing these guys as unique domes and the body build, well, that's up to you.  There are more domes than bodies and there's a ton of purple. Read on!

A bunch of Galaxys Edge Trading Outpost items are hitting Target stores (and Target.com) today - but a complete list was not made available.   Repacks of the theme park exclusive Commander Pyre, Hondo Ohnaka, and DJ R-3X are joined by all-new Captain Cardinal 6-inch figures.  The big Millennium Falcon is, so far, an online only reissue. There are new roleplay blasters, plushies, and Funko Pop!s too - but what I found the most interesting are these Hasbro Droid Depot figures.  There are 6 of them for $9.99 each under DPCI 087-16-1746.
