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!
Ad: Entertainment Earth slashed the price on 6 of the original 12 Kenner Star Wars action figures - $29.99 is a freaking steal. You can pick up the Star Wars The Retro Collection 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Set of 6 today, but hurry - at this price they're going fast!
I'm on Bluesky. It got really popular in the last couple of weeks, so I am posting a few fun things there - like this! And yes there's a typo in it, Bluesky does not yet have an edit function.
What you're looking at is The Vintage Collection The Armorer’s Forge Playset populated by some 2022 and 2023 The Retro Collection figures from The Mandalorian. The playset got some criticism for being unpainted and old-looking - which my brain immediately read and thought "Oh so like a Kenner playset?" It even has a little cabinet that opens with sticker detail inside. The actual toy does not light up.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Osha Aniseya (The Retro Collection) . Her The Vintage Collection figure was one of Hasbro's very best, and the Retro figure is also pretty neat. I was surprised she has a separately molded wig - an impossibility of the Kenner era - and it looks phenomenal. I like this one. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jod Na Nawood (The Vintage Collection). In a wave of repaints and a couple of retools, this is the sole all-new guy - we haven't seen the show yet, but we do know it's Jude Law in some sort of quasi-pirate getup. It looks neat. The show comes out next month, where we'll find out if he raided Hondo's closet, or is a robot like in A.I., or is just a boring old Jedi. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (Amazon Exclusive 3-Pack, Epic Hero Series). This Amazon exclusive comes in a 3-pack with Paz Vizsla and an unnamed Mandalorian Warrior figure. Axe Woves is also made of retooled Boba Fett parts - hence why he's a little bulkier - but is still a decent looking toy figure. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka/Jedi Robes, The Retro Collection). She has a new hat! And also, improved hands that better grip her lightsaber - if you see her, she's arguably worth the upgrade even though the figure sculpt and deco are more or less otherwise unchanged. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cobb Vanth (Deluxe/Armor, The Vintage Collection). He's missing some paint on his legs, but the face is good, the armor is good, and as a solid packed case of 8 figures, he's probably going to be pretty common at US Target and Walmart stores this season. I've even heard isolated reports of markdowns already. Should you pick up the marshal of Mos Pelgo? Well, I did, I liked it. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: X-Wing Pilot (Duros, The Vintage Collection). Hasbro once again shows us they are masters of the head sculpt at the tiny size when they're so inclined, giving this blue-skinned alien an amazing noggin on an old Luke body. It's weird, and it's not from a specific movie or anything that I know of, but at least I can say Hasbro did a nice job on it and it looks cool. Read on!
Ad: The Masters of the Universe Origins Wave 22 Action Figure Case of 4 and Star Wars The Vintage Collection Chopper (Imperial Disguise) 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure are up for pre-order now! Singles and assortments are up for order and are due this month.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1-MNST4 (Droid Factory). This is last year's Disney Halloween droid, based on Frankenstein's Monster features on Chopper's body. There's very little paint here, but a lot of color makes it a nifty toy that you hopefully got before the parks stopped selling them. Happy Halloween! Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jedi Master Sol (The Vintage Collection). He looks pretty good - and you might even find him in a store now. Well, I've seen him in a couple of Walmarts, anyway. Read on!
