Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Admiral Motti (Imperial Officers set, The Vintage Collection). It's new! The last time we got a new Motti mold was in the CommTech era, and we had a reissue of him in a Diamond exclusive boxed set - remember those? Those were great. Anyway, this new one has improved sculpting and articulation - that's good! - but it doesn't have that tug-on-the-collar choke thing, which is pretty much the reason you want a toy of that character. It's still pretty good, and so far exclusive to a white box set of figures. Read on!
New from Disney: R8-H23 Star Wars Droid Factory Figure! This one has a wreath, and looks like it belongs in a holiday display. Or a Strawberry Shortcake display. Either way, it's pretty cool and it's $14.99 - and probably in the parks, too.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Death Squad Commander (The Retro Collection). Known as the Star Destroyer Commander after the first couple of years, this bowl-headed fellow has a straighter rank pin but his skin color is a little weirder than the original. He's part of a Shop Disney/Hasbro Pulse shared exclusive boxed set - and I recommend checking both stores to compare pricing. Last time I checked, the set was significantly cheaper on Hasbro Pulse. Read on!
Ad? Previously thought to be a Target exclusive, Amazon now has up a Return of the Jedi 40th Anniversary The Black Series Gamorrean Guard. It's a new version of the previously Target/Shared Boxed exclusive, so if you missed it? It's $33.99. Click here to check it out and if you order something, the site may get a few pennies from your order(s).
If that weren't enough, other new items seem to be going up. Click here to see what else is new for sale on the Amazon Hasbro Star Wars store.
Also the Black Series Fifth Brother Inquisitor is down to under $10 as I write this. As these are Amazon affiliate links, we may get a comission as a percentage of the sale prices of any items you may purchase.
Surprise! Hasbro's Kenner's The Retro Collection The Mandalorian (Prototype) figures are showing up in Phoenix, AZ for $14.99 each. (I found them, so it's a legit sighting.) Take care to examine both sides of the rifle for stress marks before making a purchase. The figure has a gray cape and Kenner blue blasts, so it might be of interest to customizers and open toy collectors just for that.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder, Prototype Edition - Purple Head, The Retro Collection). If you don't remember getting one in 1982, that's because it's based on a 2020 release that came with a board game. It's pretty good - I particularly like the fact it comes with a new color of Kenner lightsaber! Well, some of them do - depending on which variant you get. I hear this delayed figure is alrady being marked down at select Targets, so happy hunting. Read on!
Ad: A new exclusive! This Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 40th Hologram Luke Glow-in-the-Dark Pop! Vinyl Figure - Entertainment Earth Exclusive is what it says. You can put it in front of Mighty Jabba, to offer him a gift - these two droids. (Two droids not included, sold separately.) This true blue hero is expected around April.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Rex (The Bad Batch, The Vintage Collection). It's an Amazon exclusive that was really hard to order, and then marked down after it started to ship. The 4-pack is $55.09 as I write this. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Droids, The Black Series). The first time Hasbro has released Vlix in the United States! He's on the packaging twice. There's also a Boba Fett in the box, but you'll take note of Vlix on the back and in the front flap. Also this is the 2013 Boba Fett figure painted to look like his animated armor, which is excellent, but Hasbro has proven they know Vlix exists so now they can make a figure... right?
(Coincidentally, Target revealed two more exclusive 3 3/4-inch Boba Fetts today, but I digress.)
Ad: The Star Wars The Vintage Collection OBI-Wan Kenobi Multipack Toys, 3.75-Inch-Scale Action Figures, Kids 4 and Up, Multicolor (F7790) is in stock at Amazon.com right now (and shipped early.) It's $50.99 and includes the Jawa Teeka, a Purge Trooper, and Obi-Wan Kenobi figures. As these are Amazon affiliate links, we may get a comission as a percentage of the sale prices of any items you may purchase.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bossk (and Boba Fett, The Retro Collection). He's just different enough to make you happy? He looks a teeny tiny bit different from the original 1980s toy, but has a retooled hand to better hold his blaster and a few minor paint masks changes. The sculpt is less detailed (like all reissues so far), but he'll probably make you happy if you want a figure that hasn't beheld the ravages of age. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bespin Security Guard (Isdam Edian, The Vintage Collection). It's Lando parts with a new head and torso, but generally gets the job done. I just wish they actually gave one of the last few vintage figures left to update an original sculpt since the legs look a little weird, as do the cuffs around the sleeves, since they were not intended for this one. Read on!
