Figure of the Day

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,219: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 27, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fennec Shand (The Retro Collection). I had her on my desk for months and thought I wrote the review - well, let's correct that! Here she is, and you might even find her at Ross for cheap. This wave never hit big box stores, which is a shame because they're all very good figures. Her removable helmet reminds me a lot of the old Boushh. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,218: HK-87 Assassin Droid (Arcana)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 25, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: HK-87 Assassin Droid (Arcana, The Vintage Collection). While a redeco, it also loses an accessory from the previous release - there's no blaster this time. But it's still an awesome droid based on 20th-century concept art, so you're probably going to be glad that you got one. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,214: Mae (Assassin, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 20, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This figure answers the question "Does Hasbro still got it?" with a "Yes." She has optional masks, a cloth cloak, two daggers, incredible costume deco, an amazing likeness, and a well separately molded hair piece. Given the size Hasbro is working with I'd say this figure is as good as the modern era can be expected to get - and you might, maybe, find her in a store near you as The Acolyte stuff has been slower to move. If you see her, you should give this figure a look - it's good. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,216: Mace Windu (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 18, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mace Windu (The Retro Collection). While smoother than actual Kenner toys, this recent-ish release does look pretty cool with his cloak and purple lightsaber. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,215: Scout Trooper (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 13, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series). This is a new release that's actually easy to find - most Target stores seem to be getting solid cases of just him. (But, oddly, not the Mando bike.) The figure is pretty good, with nice paint and a slick off-white coloring that looks sort of like the battle-worn armor on the show. It also includes a Stormtrooper blaster instead of the Bike Scout pistol, but it's still a neat figure with a nice toy bike. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,210: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 6, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mae (Assassin, The Retro Collection). This is a really nice figure - she has a vinyl cape and two knives, with separately molded hair. She is in a six-pack sold online, so get her while you can. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,212: The Mandalorian (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 4, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (Speeder Bike / Epic Hero Series). It's an actual toy! It comes with a bike that has wheels. He has elbow and knee joints. It's a big improvement over last year's figure, but I haven't yet seen this one on store shelves. His companion, the Imperial Speeder Bike, seems to be abundant at Target though. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,211 Bo-Katan Kryze (Single, Epic Hero Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 30, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bo-Katan Kryze (Single, Epic Hero Series). The figure itself is identical to the version in a two-pack at Walmart with Moff Gideon, but this individually carded release has a unique accessory. Is it worth buying twice? Well, only if you're that kind of person. It's a good figure though, and it might be at a Ross near you for around four bucks - which is absolutely worth the wait in line. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,210: Clone Trooper (Phase II/Revenge of the Sith, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 28, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Trooper (Phase II/Revenge of the Sith, The Retro Collection). It's decent, but it has a neck - something most Kenner-era troopers lacked until Return of the Jedi. He's a little scrawny and while it looks like a clone, it's probably my least favorite figure in the collection. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,209: Grogu (The Armorer's Forge, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 23, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (The Armorer's Forge, The Vintage Collection) . While not much of a figure - and technically, an accessory - he's interesting. He actually has a a unique torso with a new torso with the beskar armor, rather than another unadorned brown potato sack. I wouldn't say it's necessarily worth paying $60 for the figure, but with the playset and the Armorer, at least it's unique and different from the many Grogu toys you may already own. I am kind of surprised we haven't gotten a lot more variations of Grogu - him eating, playing, or what have you - as accessories to other toys. As such, it's neat to see something like this. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,208: Padmé Amidala (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Padme Amidala (The Retro Collection). This is the first - and possibly only - version of Natalie Portman's character in the retro format, and comes complete with cape and blaster. I'm surprised they gave her a new gray blaster mold, rather than reusing the Leia pistol. It's a pretty decent figure, with a few sculpted details that look amazing and boots that look a little too precise. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,207: Jabba the Hutt (Throne Room, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 16, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jabba the Hutt (Throne Room, The Vintage Collection). This is the third toy to use this sculpt, but he had some surprising modifications (a big vinyl square on the underside) and deco that, depending on your lighting situation, might not look as good as the one you already have. This 2024 release came with Salacious Crumb and 8D8 as well as a seat for the big guy, and it's also probably the only affordable version of this particular mold of the space gangster on the market right now. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,206: 8D8 (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 14, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 8D8 (The Vintage Collection). This pack-in figure from Jabba's Palace set is an amazing upgrade - with very little articulation. The last release was in 1998, and this one lacks the light-up eyes or torture rack. He has a lot more paint, though, and looks more on-model. You'll want it, but the $89.99 Jabba set it comes in is kinda pricey. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,205: Hera Syndulla (The Ghost, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 9, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hera Syndulla (The Ghost, The Vintage Collection). She shares the head and hands with the basic carded figure from Ahsoka, as well as the blaster, but pretty much everything else is new. You can't actually buy this figure outside of eBay right now, but she's pretty good and can be crammed in the Phantom vehicle from that set, just barely. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,204: Mother Aniseya (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 7, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mother Aniseya (The Retro Collection). Sure, she's from new Disney+ content and not the original trilogy, or Ewoks or Droids or Star Tours or the 1977-1987 Marvel comic book, but she still makes for a decent Kenner-style action figure. Her costume in The Acolyte was incredibly ornate, as was her make-up, and this figure has to tone it down a bit - and does a pretty good job. Her hair is still huge, with some gold in it. Her outfit has a lot of good sculpted detail, including a very Hoth Rebels-esque pattern in the blue part of her costume. She's very much a simplified version of what you saw on the small screen, but if she weren't, she wouldn't be "retro." Give this one a look. Read on!
