Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,234: Dark Trooper (Epic World of Action)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 22, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (Epic World of Action). I haven't seen it in a store myself yet, but if you do? You should get one. It's big, it's sturdy, it's cheap, and the paint on the figure is very good. I am not crazy about both the blaster and blast effect being clear red, but it's still pretty excellent. Read on!

New The Vintage Collection Bantha Today (and The Black Series Stuff Too)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 17, 2025

Hasbro is dripping out a lot of reveals with Celebration Japan!  At a panel, they revealed The Vintage Collection Crosshair as well as a smattering of characters from The Black Series.   Dash Rendar, Nightsister Merrin, a Cal Kestis/Turgle/Skoova Stev set, and others should be up for pre-order in just a few hours.

Also exciting is a Gizmodo piece with 3 new reveals.  A new Bantha for The Vintage Collection will be going to Pulse/Disney, and it has a mouth that opens with visible teeth!  That's new! 

A de-armored Cobb Vanth for The Vintage Collection image is also making the rounds, as well as a Rocket Trooper - another Stormtrooper variant from Jedi Survivor.   You'll also see Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor).

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,233: Grogu (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 17, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hasbro do that Grogu (The Book of Boba Fett, The Retro Collection) that they do so well!

This is a pretty clever idea for a product. It's a reissue of the obscure Kenner Dagoah training backpack, with a reissue of "The Child" and a frog from 2021. Since the wave never hit mass market retailers it can be tough to say if it sold well or not, but I rarely saw them on closeout shelves and odds are a lot of fans might want it just for the backpack. I think it's worth getting, but I generally like all of these a fair amount. Also I believe this is my last unreviewed Retro figure until the red dot ships their exclusive set around the end of the month. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,232: Velken Tezeri (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 15, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Velken Tezeri (The Vintage Collection). The 2023 figure is the first - and likely only - incarnation we get of this guy. I'm delighted and amazed Hasbro did him at all, given the obscurity. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,231: Yoda (Epic World of Action)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 10, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yoda (Epic World of Action). I got mine online, and I hope you'll see it in stores. For $8 you get Hasbro's best prequel-era Yoda figure yet, with excellent articulation and three good accessories. The lightsaber is no surprise, the Sith energy thing is pretty cool... but a tiny clear green Starfighter? Now that's impressive.

The 2025 figure has those ball-ish shoulders you love, plus swivel wrists. If you only buy one figure from this particular range of figures, it should be Yoda. The other figures in the wave have more articulation and features, but only Yoda has a tiny ship. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,230: Jedi Master Sol (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 8, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jedi Master Sol (The Retro Collection). He came out last year as part of a boxed set for a Disney+ streaming series, with unique robes using surprisingly cool material. He has an extra chunk of hair on his head, the articulation is good, and he's been off and on sale. But do you need one? Read on!

Also, check out a new (but old-looking) mini site for the Retro Collection. Here is a big list of action figures along with links to existing reviews, and places where you can buy them while they're hopefully still cheap. If you've ever wondered how many aliens, vinyl capes, droids, or removable helmets were in this line it's your lucky day.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,229: IG-12 with Grogu and Anzellan (The Vintage Collection Deluxe)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, April 3, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IG-12 with Grogu and Anzellan (The Vintage Collection Deluxe). Most likely in a store near you somewhere, the figure is $25 - and has a couple of little guys with it, and those aren't cheap to make. But it's also a retool of a figure you probably purchased for half the price a few years ago. Read on!

Ad: Star Wars Retro Yak Face Is Back at Entertainment Earth

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 1, 2025

Ad: More oldness! If you missed the hard-to-get (and expensive on the secondary market Star Wars The Retro Collection Return of the Jedi 3 34-Inch Action Figures Set of 6 - Exclusive, you can get it! It's one of many Star Wars: The Retro Collection action figures and sets at Entertainment Earth. This set is famous for having a reissue of Yak Face as well as a new-to--the-line Mon Mothma, both of which are due to ship later this year.

 

If you're new to this line and want something else to get sooner, I recommend the Star Wars Ahsoka Retro Collection 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Wave 2 Case of 8. Why? Chopper is a lot like the old R2-D2, Sabine Wren has an awesome removable helmet and extra accessories, Hera Syndulla is really good, and this particular Ahsoka has retooled hands. It's a good pack.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,228: Darth Vader (Epic World of Action)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, April 1, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Epic World of Action). The 2025 model has more motion at the shoulders and hips, plus adds knee and elbow joints. The lightsaber is overpowered too, take a look at the energy bolts coming from it - it's pretty cool, and hopefully will be in a store near you soon. Read on!

Hasbro Pulse Highlights New Vintage and The Black Series

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 25, 2025



For Epic World of Action (formerly Epic Hero Series) and The Retro Collection, nothing new was shown. Right now we know Epic World of Action is going to get at least three mechs and a few new bikes along with an X-Wing this year, so that's good. For Retro, we know about that one six pack of figures due at the place with the big red dot in about a month - and it's very exciting.

So how about The Vintage Collection and The Black Series? We're getting some newness with actual new costumes and fresh faces, as well as some faces we haven't seen in quite a few years.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,226: General Grievous (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, March 25, 2025

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Grievous (The Retro Collection). This one feels old-school, but more like a figure from the mid-2000s - his lateral arm movement is unique, but the head deco feels a lot like something from the actual Revenge of the Sith toy line. I think they did a nice job making stompier and more stable feet, though.. Read on!
