Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,011: Mara Jade (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 14, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mara Jade (The Black Series). It's a good figure despite being parts from Aphra/Jaina with a new head and new paint - it's just not as "accurate" as it could be. Then again, for a comic/novel character, there's more than a little wiggle-room and at a glance, she's kind of fantastic. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,005: Admiral Ackbar (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 21, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Admiral Ackbar (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Pulse item that got shared, and it has less paint and costs more. That's democracy for you. I like this one better because the red plastic of the skin shows off the sculpted detail in a much better way, and also, I loved the 1983 original. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,002: Boba Fett (Tython, Jedi Ruins, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 9, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython, Jedi Ruins, The Black Series). It's a little like the non-exclusive figure, but with more damage paint and a different belt - I like it! Heck, I think it's one of the better figures. But is it worth the upcharge? Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,001: Axe Woves (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (The Black Series). It's a good one! An existing body was used with a different head and some different color configurations to deliver unto you another Mandalorian for your armies. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,000: Aayla Secura (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 2, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Aayla Secura (The Black Series). In the not-too-distant future, right now A.D., there as a guy named Adam not too different from you or me. And you should really just relax for Figure of the Day #3,000 - which is a milestone for what kicked off as a filler feature with diminishing returns. Thankfully, the figure is excellent and Hasbro did a great job with her. It's strange that she has pre-2020-style knees, but one of last year's finer figures is a keeper. Read on!

Hasbro Fanstream Reveals New Star Wars: The Retro Collection... And Other Stuff

By Adam Pawlus — Wednesday, February 1, 2023

Hasbro posted its latest Star Wars Fanstream Wednesday morning. There's a lot to take in, and I have a checklist of all the new names for pipeline reveals and actual reveals (and the embedded video) after the jump. So if you want The Black Series and The Vintage Collection, read more. But the most important thing are the Kenner-style The Retro Collection figures! A new The Book of Boba Fett wave was revealed in name only, and it looks like one heck of a wave.

Target will get another "Prototype" figure, this time it's The Mandalorian (the vinyl cape one) - but what makes it interesting is "Kenner blue" accessories. That's a selling point. The new wave of new characters includes Boba Fett (Desert/Nomad), Mando (new), Grogu (new), Luke Skywalker (Jedi, "refresh"), Fennec Shand, Cad Bane, Krrsantan, and a Tusken Raider. That's eight new or newish figures, and no droids, but at least we get some aliens that might be fun.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,999: Grogu (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 31, 2023

Well, they can't all feel like a great deal: Grogu (The Black Series). It's the accessories from the somewhat more-expensive-than-he-should-be $10 figure with a floating egg for $25. He's guaranteed to sell, the paint is fine, he's cute, but you might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to other $25 figures. You might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to $10 figures, because there's no level of "pretty good" that makes up for "this would be puny if it were a 3 3/4-inch release and it's a 6-inch release." Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,998: Darth Maul (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 26, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (The Black Series). This is a pretty excellent figure - the facial expression is superb, the head spikes are spiky, the outfit is good, and the articulation is great. If you like this costume, this is a very good figure of it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,997: Migs Mayfeld (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 24, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Migs Mayfeld (The Black Series). He's Bill Burr, but with lots of guns and a good recreation of his on-screen, The Mandalorian season one costume. I'd say buy it, and I'm cranky and old. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,996: Grand Inquisitor (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 19, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Inquisitor (The Black Series). It's a pretty good figure of a twerp of an interpretation of the character! The head isn't too perfect, but he has a nice cape, decent armor, and good articulation. The make-up doesn't quite match the series, and that make-up doesn't quite replicate the look of the species as seen previously. But it's available, you can buy it. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,993: NED-B (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 10, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: NED-B (The Black Series). He's got a lot of painted detail, he's really big, and he's kind of expensive. But you get a hammer and a blaster! He's still $8 more than a normal figure, but is he good at any price? Read on!
