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: Princess Leia (Ewok Village, The Black Series). You may be able to get her pretty cheaply right now, but don't let that deter you - it's a neat figure. 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!

Sometimes Dr. Zaius is right - you might not like what you find. Gamespot posted a reveal of Book Of Boba Fett's Luke Skywalker Gets Star Wars Retro Figure without acknowledging that they didn't. It is, in fact, a repack of the reissue of Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight) from Kenner way back in 1983. It's a packaging variant for what I assume will be a popular figure with lots of demand, so that's good - but he doesn't have Luke's new shirt or boots. It's the same old thing.  Some pictures show a brown cloak, and some show black, so it's possible you might get a new black cloak here.

It's not even just different enough to make you mad - it's a real Kenner-style package logo/photo variation.  I should have seen it coming - it's a good economical idea for a business, less so for those of us who were hoping we might get the first post-trilogy Kenner-style Luke figure we've been wanting since the 1980s.

The review of the Return of the Jedi reissue - seemingly identical and shipping now - will be posted here on Thursday. (It's good.)

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython/Boba Fett's Starship, The Vintage Collection). It's presently exclusive as a pack-in to a very expensive $200 Boba Fett's Starship re-re-repaint. (Previously the vehicle has been exclusive to Toys R Us in Jango deco, Amazon in Boba Deco, and a shared Fan Channel ESB deco - and this is the Book of Boba Fett flavor.) It's a perfectly nice figure, but at $200 for just a ship repaint and a figure you're probably going to feel this wasn't the best value in the toy store. Read on!

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.
