We're back! Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #4 is ready to read. Why should you read it?
It has things in recent Hasbro streams that you can't be bothered to sit for an hour and watch, in a format that you can skim through on your iPad on the toilet. I'm here for you, fellow olds. Highlights include: the HasLab Razor Crest delay, Macy's new toy section, an all-new Bib Fortuna, and so many of the new Hasbro announcements from over the summer in a handy checklist form - so you can see if any of it matters without wasting the amount of time it would take you to catch up on What We Do in the Shadows! Aren't I thoughtful?
Ad: Pre-Order Star Wars New Releases at Entertainment Earth! There's a lot on deck.
New figures from The Vintage Collection join an exclusive shared Greef Karga from The Black Series and Rey's lightsaber from the end of The Rise of Skywalker.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Flametrooper (Gaming Greats, The Black Series).
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: BT-1 (Beetee, The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2019 release has been staring at me from the shelf for two years, but I hadn't got around to reviewing this accessory-laden comic-based robot. It's good! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a figure that shares parts with Jaina Solo, but it's not like you noticed. Sadly she has long since sold out without a rerun in sight, but this is still a nifty figure worth a look. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2020 release is an absolute blast, with great soft goods, excellent articulation, and one of the very best Carrie Fisher faces you can buy on an action figure. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a remix of new and old parts, but that head sculpt is amazing and the face paint is remarkable! It's one of the very best Harrison Ford figures Hasbro has ever cranked out and gives us good hope for the future - hopefully you got one! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Hux (The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2015 release has been in my review pile, so let's look at it now! I was surprised to realize it doesn't share parts with The Last Jedi First Order officers - but it is excellent! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Admiral Thrawn (The Black Series 6-Inch). This blue baddie from 2017 got reissued this year... but this is the 2017 main line release, which is slightly different from the SDCC exclusive version. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's Dagobah Luke, in black, with a different lightsaber and a ysalamiri for your Thrawn figure. I'd recommend it, even if Luke does look a little young for a post-Return of the Jedi timeline. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars, The Black Series 6-Inch). This Target exclusive is still super-tough to come by... as are the others. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Carnor Jax (Kir Kanos, The Black Series 6-Inch). The box copy is for Carnor Jax, but the figure and image are clearly Kir Kanos, which is clearly the Emperor's Royal Guard with a new cape and a new staff. Good enough? Maybe. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (50th Anniversary, The Black Series 6-Inch). It lacks the alternate hand from the last release, but has new - and arguably improved - detail on the head that will make paying the premium price potentially worth it if you can still find one at a Best Buy somewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Hovertank Pilot (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Toys R Us exclusive I hadn't gotten around to opening until just now - and it just got reissued this year. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a retool, and a pretty good one with a decent body upgrade and nice deco. Not bad for a modified 2013 release! Read on!
