Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Viper Probe Droid (Droid Factory / Disney). It's smaller than previous Kenner and Hasbro molds, but the detailing is really good and according to some reference sources, the smaller size is more accurate to The Empire Strikes Back too. But it's Thanksgiving, you're not reading toy reviews. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-T2 (Disney Droid Factory). It's a remake of a Hasbro exclusive for Entertainment Earth from 2006, and Disney made it look a lot better with more accurate details and brighter colors. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: NED-B (Disney Droid Factory). It's a dirty robot, and a pretty good one. Also, shorter than the Retro Kenner release, despite being a Disney-made theme park figure. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 1-JAC (Disney Droid Factory). This figure has blasters fused to his legs and hands that can't hold guns - it's a new sculpt, so this seems like a deliberate attempt to keep the figure less exciting than Disney's previous 4-LOM mold. Read on!
Disney's Star Wars Droid Factory Advent Calendar added some photos to reveal a few parts from the droids inside. Click here to go over there to see it. While I think it's wrong to consider not knowing what is in a $69.99 toy before buying it, some of you are very spoiler-averse and really, I don't even know what to do for people coming to a site for toy news. I certainly don't want to see anyone spend money and be unhappy on the grounds of the "surprise" being that you just bought toys you already own.
All the droid paint jobs are new and presently exclusive to this set.
So don't click after the jump for a description. They say
If you want it or not, Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #11 is ready!
Back in the 1990s I wrote an email newsletter with news and rumors about all things Kenner, Galoob, and whatever else I could dig up. Sadly this is mostly limited to stuff that has been confirmed, but this has new theme park releases, updates on movies and small screen shows, and the obligatory info dump from Hasbro's Pulse Con last weekend. Spoiler: if you were expecting more Cantina or Jabba Palace figures in any size, give up.

Galactic Hunter has posted a Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #10! Rogue One returns to theaters. Andor was delayed! We saw new toys and reissues of old toys at San Diego Comic-Con! Disney's Halloween items are starting to hit theme parks, as is a Kenobi-specific droid set that looks pretty sharp. There's also a big list of new announcements and recent releases. Read it here!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-W50 (Droid Factory). It's a figure painted to look sort of like the repaint of a castle at a theme park, except the droid is clear for some reason. It's a bizarre but distinctive looking figure, and arguably the kind of thing that's more interesting as a weird collectible toy than something from the Star Wars galaxy. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R1 (The Mandalorian Droid Factory Set). It's a new mold that looks like a retool - they fooled us! There are similarities between this and older R1 droids, but looking at it, there would pretty much have to be. Read on!
Adam's Star Wars Newsletter is back with the announcements of new Walmart pre-orders for Vintage figures based on the original trilogy. I know, I can't believe it either - Mustache Bespin Security Guard is coming back! For real! Pre-orders are next week, but did you know a lot of other items were added to these updated checklists which you may have missed? It's true! And you can read them on the toilet if you bring your device in the bathroom, and we don't make you watch YouTube videos or anything. It's just text.
