Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Scout Trooper (Electropole, The Vintage Collection). Hasbro took a figure from 2007, modified it a bit as an exclusive about nine years ago, and now added some new gear - it's old and new. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Admiral Thrawn (The Black Series 6-Inch). This blue baddie from 2017 got reissued this year... but this is the 2017 main line release, which is slightly different from the SDCC exclusive version. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's Dagobah Luke, in black, with a different lightsaber and a ysalamiri for your Thrawn figure. I'd recommend it, even if Luke does look a little young for a post-Return of the Jedi timeline. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Remnant Stormtrooper (The Retro Collection). This version looks like the old Kenner one, but comes on a retro card and is dirty. Also it comes packaged with a board game. It was originally exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Shop, but now you can get it at Entertainment Earth and potentially elsewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars, The Black Series 6-Inch). This Target exclusive is still super-tough to come by... as are the others. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: FN-2187 (Finn Stormtrooper, The Force Awakens). It's Finn with a removable helmet, from about five years ago - it's still a good figure. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Enfys Nest (The Vintage Collection). This version has more articulation, gauntlet weapons, and a better cape than the swoop bike pack-in version. But sadly, no removable helmet! It's still worth getting. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Carnor Jax (Kir Kanos, The Black Series 6-Inch). The box copy is for Carnor Jax, but the figure and image are clearly Kir Kanos, which is clearly the Emperor's Royal Guard with a new cape and a new staff. Good enough? Maybe. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Qui-Gon Jinn (50th Anniversary, The Black Series 6-Inch). It lacks the alternate hand from the last release, but has new - and arguably improved - detail on the head that will make paying the premium price potentially worth it if you can still find one at a Best Buy somewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Hovertank Pilot (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a Toys R Us exclusive I hadn't gotten around to opening until just now - and it just got reissued this year. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a retool, and a pretty good one with a decent body upgrade and nice deco. Not bad for a modified 2013 release! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greedo (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). The Amazon exclusive seems to be sold through, but it's awesome if you're a fan of the old Kenner guys. A new one on a not-quite-right POTF2-style cardback is up on Hasbro Pulse right now, but in movie colors. Which is better? Amazon's, obviously. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greef Karga (The Retro Collection). Vinyl capes are in this season, as are loops on holsters that can store blasters. But you probably can't find this in stores - so should you get yourself one? Yes. Read on!
Like an old Kenner figure, but bigger! Jawa (Kenner, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's still in stock on Amazon for $20, and I would argue it's very much worth it. Sure, it lacks one of the blasters from the previous release, but those cloth robes are super cool. Read on!
