Would you believe even more figures were announced today, including a new 6-inch original trilogy alien? It's true. You can watch a video reveal, or you could just read the checklist in issue #5.
After numerous early morning reveals, last weekend's PulseCon reveals, and today's fan event reveals, there's a lot to catch up on. But who has the time to watch hours of video for a dozen new names? Not you! So click this and skim on the toilet. I won't tell anyone that's how you do your research, it can be our secret.

Via Hasbro Pulse: PulseCon. Since San Diego and New York events were skipped by Hasbro, they're running panels Friday and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM Eastern, with product going on sale at 5:00 PM. Exclusive product will only be on Pulse, but you can get other stuff elsewhere.
Speculation has it that new HasLab items will be revealed or teased today, including the worst-kept-secret, The Black Series Rancor monster creature.
For non-exclusive items, consider affiliate/advertiser Entertainment Earth who will be offering free shipping on many of the new pre-orders. Keep an eye on that link for today's new reveals, which should include Star Wars, Power Rangers, Transformers, and... that may be it actually. Theoretically your other favorite online stores will also be putting these up today as well, but they don't pay me, so they don't get a link. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Elite Squad Trooper (The Black Series 6-Inch). When is a Clone not a Clone? When it's this guy! This uses the 2020 upper body and the original double-jointed knees, making it a bit more than just a repaint. If you haven't seen The Bad Batch, this one may be new to you - but it looks cool, so get one. Read on!

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?

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!
