While no pre-order dates were listed, Gizmodo gave us some good news for old Kenner fans. In the article Ahsoka Goes Retro in These Vintage-Inspired Star Wars Toys, we got a slideshow of 7 unpackaged mostly-new figures which you can go see. But do you want rambling commentary? You do? Gosh I love you people. Of course I'll ramble for you!

Figures were shown without packaging. I assume this means there may be a secondary reveal or possibly even unseen accessories to follow, but at least what we saw is generally exciting thus far. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R8 Unit (Purple, 2023 Pride Collection). It's purple! I think it's also the first R8 droid sold as a whole unit without scouring bins, plus this boxed set has been on sale for a few bucks off - you may as well pick one up because where else are you getting colorful robots these days? (Transformers is the answer.) It's also the last figure we look at in this collection, technically, we've got one more 2023 Pride droid left to go in a couple of weeks from an individually carded release. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi (The Retro Collection). The last of the retro reviews of the original 12! He's got a white beard, softer details, and what seems to be a pretty vibrant blue lightsaber this time. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Sun’il Ei’de (Drums, The Vintage Collection). I was unaware there were still new Cantina alien names being cranked out since Disney got Star Wars, but it's still the drummer and he's still a pretty good figure with decent accessories. But also, he's the same Cantina band guy. His drum sticks are pretty long, so you can pretend they're microphones and he's hosting The Space Price Is Right. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Commando (Endor, The Black Series). You get the "Nik Sant" head and a cleanshaven head, and two blasters. The good thing is that the figure is well-made, sturdy, and with great articulation. Unfortunately it's about as robust as the $20 Hoth Trooper, except this time, it's $34. If you can get it on sale, get two - but at full price, one may be a little pricey. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R7 Unit (Blue, 2023 Pride Collection). It's blue! And it's different from the other blue and white R7 units that have been in circulation since around 2008 - they don't come much more blue than this. Read on!

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Are retro figures getting screwed? Well, one is. Right up his backside. Because there's a screw under him. Also when do you start measuring the Retro Collection? It's a big question, and for you, I have a non-answer.

Be sure you send in your questions. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!

Ad: Anazon has new Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series and The Vintage Collection action figure pre-orders live now! New figures of Sabine Wren, Ahsoka Tano, and Hera Syndulla can be yours - if you pre-order now. These are affiliate links, so we may get a cut of a sale if you click and buy anything.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Inquisitor (The Retro Collection). This is not a figure I initially liked, but it kind of grew on me. The head looks sort of like a baby, with understated ridges. The cape drags and comes pre-wrinkled. But the lightsaber is good, and the body armor is sculpted nicely despite being in the same generic pose as most of the Hasbro Retro Collection figures. But the character was something of a dork too, so at least you won't be too upset you can't play with it very well and you can't take off the cape to get him in a ship, either. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Krrsantan (SDCC, The Vintage Collection). This big Wookiee debuted at SDCC and is very similar to the mass release version, except he has a unique head, a distinct package, and a couple of exclusive weapons. But if you want the mug, the fruit, the hands, and the rifle, either version will do. Is it worth the $40? Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Inquisitor (Fourth Sister, The Black Series). This is a pretty good figure - she's sort of a nobody on Obi-Wan Kenobi, but it's rare that we get a new alien with some color to her. Sure, it's another black leather Inquisitor costume, but at least you get somebody with orange skin and multiple head tails. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R6 Unit (Green/Teal, 2023 Pride Collection). The set was very briefly on sale earlier this week - but now it's back to full price. Well you can still get it and it still looks cool. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tusken Raider (The Retro Collection). He's a little different - the silver coloring and head sculpt deviate a little from the original, likely giving you another reason to pick up what is effectively another variant in your old figure collection. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection). It's a new-ish figure. He has no jacket, but he's $16.99. Much of the tooling is recycled from the Solo: A Star Wars Story figure. It's not bad per se, but it not being a 100% new sculpt at this price may leave you not loving the shortcomings of the old-style legs and hoping it could be as good as some of the all-new figures we've had in the last couple of years.
