Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). Still in a Target near you, this slightly-repainted version of Vader has very nice red lenses and some red lightning on his hands. And lightsaber. And a big plastic wad of it, just for fun. It's more or less the same as the figure packed with the mech, plus or minus deco and gear. It's pretty impressive for the price, showing that there's a massive chasm continuing to grow between "expensive collector figure" and "perfectly good action figure." I like this set - it feels like a box of toys. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IG-11 (Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). This figure is exclusive to this set, and also Amazon. It lacks the "vest" of other figures, so the torso looks off - but otherwise? It's great! Articulation exceeds most of his peers, although The Vintage Collection still has him beat. With a couple of torso tweaks and two black rifles, I think most adult collectors would be happy with this one. After all, it comes with a uniquely decorated speeder bike, and Grogu, and an optional rocket launcher for the same price as a basic Vintage figure. Toys can be very good, so give this one a look.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). This is another Target exclusive from their 5-pack, where Luke loses the backpack for Grogu but gains green lightning on his hands. The lightsaber is also unique, in that it's Anakin's hilt with a green, crackling blade. Is it better than the 2024 model? Well, it's different, and probably the kind of thing we'd see more of if the line stuck around with a kid focus. If nothing else, it looks distinctive even if it isn't essential for lifers. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Rex (Force Mech Suit / Epic World of Action). It's not just the Stormtrooper mech with a new face - this is a whole new mold with new armor bits and clear plastic blasters. The figure pilot is more or less the same as the single carded release (that you can't find) with some added circuit detail.

The price has been bouncing up and down for months, so you might even be able to score a deal on it at some point - it's a very nice toy and it's a shame its Amazon exclusivity means people are unlikely to discover it on a toy aisle somewhere. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). This figure is in Target now as part of a Force Masters multi-pack, which gives new and existing figures "Force" deco. Sure, it's a little silly to give Ahsoka Force lightning on her gloves and lightsabers, but it does look cool and seems in the spirit with the weirdness we used to get from lines from Kenner and Hasbro. The base figure is good, the added deco makes her different from the previous release, and presumably this set will be gone before Ahsoka Season 2 comes out. Grab her now! Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Force Ghost Yoda (Force Masters / Epic World of Action). He has no accessories and no paint other than the eyes, but this is a striking figure. The clear blue has a nice shine to it, with decent articulation for a kid's Yoda. It would be nice to have a cane or some other accessory. You've seen other dead versions of Yoda, but this one is probably the Smurfiest. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Blue Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). I've never seen this in a store - but you can get it online. The bike is a nifty new mold with swing-out wings, rolling wheels, and a firing rocket. Obi-Wan is a mix of unique parts and elements shared with other figures - and a great head sculpt for a kid item. If you can find it for a fair price, especially at or under $20, get it. Read on!

At Target: their exclusive Star Wars Epic World of Action Force Masters Pack is down to $24.49.  These guys never all appear in the same movie or TV show, but the figures have unique acessories or deco.   

For fans of 6-inch kid stuff, the Star Wars Galactic Good vs. Evil 6" Action Figure Set - 5pk( Target Exclusive) with Obi-Wan Kenobi is down to $17.49.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (Epic World of Action). It's new! I have yet to see him in any store, but online sellers have had him off and on since August. The figure's render on the packaging is superb - you can see where things went a little sideways with a head that doesn't quite look the same plus an armor piece around his neck that feels a little too thick. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Red Tech Speeder Bike / Epic World of Action). The classic deco at stores is being cleared out, but this red "tech" variant has been showing up online. The figure itself is the same, but the bike has some added paint with clear red plastic accessories. It's weird, so I like it - but good luck tracking it down outside online sellers. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Rebel Flight Suit, Epic Hero Series). This one comes with a whole X-Wing for around $30, and it's a great deal - you'd probably happily pay $10 for this toy Luke, and the vehicle's no slouch. Give it a look if you see it, if you ever played with Star Wars toys sans baggage of collectibility, you'll dig this. Read on!

Via Amazon (yes this is a sponsored link): STAR WARS SW 4INCH Figure Vehicle Pack . It's actually an Epic World of Action IG-11, Grogu, and Speeder Bike set - and I believe it's an exclusive. The product listing doesn't have a name and it's not labeled as an exclusive, but I haven't seen it elsewhere so who knows what might happen in other stores in a few days. It's not bad for the asking price - pretty much the same as a regular retail Speeder Bike, with more stuff in the box.

Give it a look.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Stormtrooper (Epic World of Action Mech Force Suit). It's pretty cool and you might actually find it in a store near you. The Trooper has added joints compared to last year, plus an unusual pattern of red circuits and forearm splash color. The suit itself has clear red fists, a big blaster, and generally looks fun. It stinks that we're not getting any Retro vehicles after seven years, but at least Epic is delivering some interesting new toys for people to overlook. So go get one. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Epic World of Action Mech Force Suit). The general sculpt is similar to last year's 5-jointed figure, but with new circuit deco and added joints. You can get a non-circuit-deco one packaged individually, but this fancy weird one comes with a giant mech suit. It's silly, but it's also a toy, and we don't get a lot of "real toy" releases these days. It's worth a gander. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Epic World of Action Mech Force Suit) . You know the new mold we looked at last week together? It's that, with some blue, and a giant robot suit. (Weirdly, my sample has two of the same lower leg.) It stands out from the basic release thanks to the blue bits, and it's a goofy - but neat - toy.
