Figure of the Day

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,015: Tech M'or (Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 28, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Tech M'or (Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, The Vintage Collection). It's a part of the white box band multi-pack, and it's great. They also announced a The Book of Boba Fett Tusken Raider army pack today, which also seems pretty great. It's nice to have aliens in the line again. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,014: The Emperor (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 23, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Emperor (The Retro Collection). It's very similar to the originals, which, oddly, are pretty cheap on eBay. The 2023 reissue has smoothed out the textures on the robes and the wrinkles on the hands and face are less wrinkly. If you have an open original you probably don't need the reissue, which looks incredibly similar to the genuine article unless you squint. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,013: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series). If you missed the last Aphra figure, this one adds a scarf and a coat plus new arms to make a new costume for the Marvel comic character. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,012: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 16, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,011: Mara Jade (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 14, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mara Jade (The Black Series). It's a good figure despite being parts from Aphra/Jaina with a new head and new paint - it's just not as "accurate" as it could be. Then again, for a comic/novel character, there's more than a little wiggle-room and at a glance, she's kind of fantastic. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,010: Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 9, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Lando Calrissian (Skiff Guard, The Retro Collection). It's not as good as the original - the level of detail is a lot lower, and the eyes on mine are a little weird - but in a shelf, wearing a helmet, near an old Jabba, he still looks cool. Why the details are so soft, I don't know - but some slight variations in color will make it even more clear that this isn't the figure you've owned since 1983. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,009: Stormtrooper Commander (Gaming Greats, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Stormtrooper Commander (Gaming Greats, The Vintage Collection). It's a figure we've had a couple of times before, but this one uses a newer mold and does a nicer job with the paint applications. But is it worth it at the "exclusive tax" mark-up? Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,008: Vel Sartha (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, March 2, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Vel Sartha (The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,007 Cassian Andor (Andor, Coat, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 28, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cassian Andor (Andor, Coat, The Vintage Collection). It's a pretty good figure and one of very few from the much-loved but less-viewed Disney+ series. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,005: Admiral Ackbar (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 21, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Admiral Ackbar (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Pulse item that got shared, and it has less paint and costs more. That's democracy for you. I like this one better because the red plastic of the skin shows off the sculpted detail in a much better way, and also, I loved the 1983 original. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,004: Dark Trooper (The Rescue, The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 16, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (The Rescue, The Vintage Collection). While I find most variants on figures tiring, army builders are a bit of an exception and there's something endlessly amusing by thinking that someone said "Do you know what's orange and looks good on this figure?" in a Hasbro pitch meeting. He joins such luminaries as Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Grievous, Super Battle Droids, and unarmored Darth Vader in the "on fire" club. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,003: Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder, Prototype Edition - Purple Head, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 14, 2023

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!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,002: Boba Fett (Tython, Jedi Ruins, The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 9, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython, Jedi Ruins, The Black Series). It's a little like the non-exclusive figure, but with more damage paint and a different belt - I like it! Heck, I think it's one of the better figures. But is it worth the upcharge? Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,001: Axe Woves (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, February 7, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (The Black Series). It's a good one! An existing body was used with a different head and some different color configurations to deliver unto you another Mandalorian for your armies. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,000: Aayla Secura (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, February 2, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Aayla Secura (The Black Series). In the not-too-distant future, right now A.D., there as a guy named Adam not too different from you or me. And you should really just relax for Figure of the Day #3,000 - which is a milestone for what kicked off as a filler feature with diminishing returns. Thankfully, the figure is excellent and Hasbro did a great job with her. It's strange that she has pre-2020-style knees, but one of last year's finer figures is a keeper. Read on!
