Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (Endor, The Retro Collection). The skin color of modern retro guys aren't as good as the originals, but the sculpt is excellent and so is the coat. Given the coat covers most of this somewhat hard-to-find 1984 figure, I'd say it's worth getting aboard the "good enough" train. Toot toot.

Also happy 40th birthday to Return of the Jedi, the milestone that reminds the VHS generation of fans that they are now old.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,031: HK-87 (The Black Series). It's based on some old McQuarrie concept sketches for bounty hunters, which means I like it a lot. There's a good reason it looks like classic Star Wars, and I dig the mismatched colors and nifty blaster. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Reva (Third Sister, The Black Series). They did a pretty great job with this one, featuring one of the better heads and faces with tip-top armor and extra lightsaber accessories. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cassian Andor (Aldahani Mission, The Vintage Collection). He's starting to pop up in stores (and online), but he's also mostly older figure parts and as such, is missing the blaster he made a fuss about holding on Andor. As a last-minute, rush job of a figure it's not bad - but since we got fully-sculpted figures from the show already it just reminds me that we could have had something a little bit better. Read on!

In an exciting bit of price disparity, the same toy is $20 cheaper at Hasbro Pulse. Click here to pre-order the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Collectible Figures Multipack at Hasbro Pulse for $69.99. Or, you can click here to get it for $89.99 at Shop Disney. Why the difference? I have no idea - Hasbro's price is more in line with the current $11.99-ish retail price per figure elsewhere.

While Shop Disney has no date, Hasbro Pulse says to expect it around June 5. Supposedly these have hit US warehouses, so it should be a fun time soon to see how the clicking mechanism in R2-D2's head translated to new production... or how it compares to the Stan Solo droid remakes.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Zuckuss (The Retro Collection). They fixed the hand to better hold the blaster and changed the color a bit - that's good! But the sculpted details are still pretty soft - that's not ideal. But at least it's interesting and different than the 1982 original. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: ARC Commander Havoc (The Vintage Collection). The formula for ARC repaints continues and it's perfectly fine - but it also seems it gives non-ARC Havoc's head to the ARC Havoc, which is certainly a choice. Read on!

If that weren't enough, have some new Alien Figures from Super7! Each one gets you a ton of retro Kenner-style or Keshi-style figures for $27.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Biker Scout (The Retro Collection). If you have the 1983 original and his variants, this will look familiar - and weird. The helmet is a little distorted, and Hasbro made some curious deco decisions at the factory level, but it's not awful. It could be better - but the pistol is good and it looks like a Scout Trooper.

It's time - and you know what for!  We posted Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #14! Kenner retro Marvel figures are showing up for sale at very 1980s prices. Many new movies and TV shows were announced - skim the list and don't bother watching the reveal videos. All this and new toy announcements you may have been too busy to catch! Read it here!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wicket (The Black Series). It's new! It's ridiculous that a tiny figure like Wicket - smaller and less complex than a The Vintage Collection figure - should cost $25. But, I will say, it's probably the best Hasbro Wicket we'll ever get, and they certainly loaded him up with extra gear like a bow and arrow set. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight, The Retro Collection). This is a reissue of a figure that I first got in 1983, and with the new head I'd go as far as to say it seems more like an interesting new variant. The same figure mold - possibly with a recolored cloak, that's inconclusive - will be sold later this year as a The Book of Boba Fett Jedi Academy Luke Skywalker figure. Which seems like something Kenner would've done by the late 1980s. Read on!
