Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Babu Frik (Droid Depot Redux 2022, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's effectively the same as the 2019 Target exclusive release, with a little less pink - if you got one, you probably don't need the other. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: K-7R1 (Droid Depot set, The Black Series). It's a repaint of K-2SO, from a theme park, at which it appears as a junk robot. It looks cool, at least. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: CB-23 (Droid Depot set, The Black Series). It's a BB-8 retool, and a reminder that the round roly-poly droid mold gets very little use. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Pit Droid (Droid Depot set, The Black Series). It's small, but impressive. It's a must-have, but also in a $75 exclusive box of mostly repaints. Should you get it? I think so. But it may not be worth your expense, unless you dig droids, and you probably do. Read on!
Adam's Star Wars Newsletter is back with the announcements you missed because who wants to watch 1 hour of video for 3 minutes of names? I don't. New Obi-Wan Kenobi, Expanded Universe, The Mandalorian, and other toys have been announced - many of which just went up for pre-order. But we're not going to make you watch someone ramble on camera to find out what they are - I typed up all the names in the newsletter so you can skim it while you're on the bus, or the toilet. Take care to not confuse the two. We expect even more announcements at Star Wars Celebration in just a few weeks.

Mike Birbiglia of "Sleepwalk with Me" fame and all around funny guy guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live! and got to interview Ewan MacGregor and reveal a new Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi) action figure. That's how mainstream this is now - hey, I'm not complaining.
Here's what Hasbro had to say about it, with some more pictures after the break:
STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES OBI-WAN KENOBI (WANDERING JEDI) FIGURE
(HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 /Available: Spring 2023)
STAR WARS fans and collectors can imagine scenes from the STAR WARS galaxy with this premium THE BLACK SERIES 6-INCH OBI-WAN KENOBI (WANDERING JEDI) figure, inspired by the character in the STAR WARS: OBI-WAN KENOBI series. Obi-Wan Kenobi is set years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith where Kenobi faced the corruption of his friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker turned Sith Lord Darth Vader. It also features the great articulation we have come to expect from Black Series, including the butterfly joints which allow more dynamic posing and articulation.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Archive, The Black Series 6-Inch). The orange box figure from the first phase of the series was hideous - this improves on it, but it's still a little gnarly looking. It goes to show just how much better a figure can look with the right colors of plastic and paint, but also that there's only so much you can do with an older sculpt. This is the best version of the mold - but a new mold would also be welcome. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Baze Malbus (Photoreal Redux, The Black Series). Check out that face - it's a huge improvement and makes the existing sculpt look spectacular. Read on!
Ad: Get new Hasbro Star Wars Black Series and Vintage Collection from Entertainment Earth! Pre-orders are open for several new figures, and a specially priced bundle of Remnant Stormtroopers is in stock now, as are a couple of Black Series specially priced bundles.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: RC-1138 Boss (Gaming Greats, The Black Series). Sev should be up for pre-order any minute now, but how is Boss? Exactly as expected - pretty dang good. Read on!
