Ad: Get a New Hasbro Star Wars: The Vintage Collection, The Black Series, Epic World of Action, and more! Chicken Jockeys, Herman Munster, Hot Wheels x Transformers, and X-Men '97 Marvel Legends are up for grabs. Check 'em out!

Notable: The Retro Collection and Epic World of Action make no appearances here.

A new set of Jedi Spirits - Anakin Skywalker with your choice of Sebastian Shaw or Hayden Christensen heads - will be joined with Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi. That's a nice set.

You have no doubt seen the Star Wars The Vintage Collection LAAT/i Gunship, which is cruising along to 1,110 backers since going live about 6 hours ago. (Not bad!) It will be followed by a "Return to Geonosis" product collection. Should you set your expectations highly?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R2-DL70 (70th Anniversary of Disneyland, Droid Factory). It's neat - it's still available. The colors look very modern, for 70 years ago, and the rich metallic colors pop nicely. I don't have a need to celebrate a building at a theme park, but metallic purples, golds, and blues made me want yet another R2-D2 repaint. Lots of little blue panels are colored in, with gold outlines, so I dig this one as yet another weird one-off. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Fleet Trooper (The Retro Collection). It's probably not in a store near you, and last I checked you couldn't order it for delivery anymore. The set is nice, but this is probably the weirdest figure. The colors and face are perfect, the pose is a little off, the vest doesn't seem quite right. But if you plop it in an old vehicle, he seems right at home. The pants are a little weird. The hips aren't quite right. But, it's one of six figures this year and it's about $10 worth of a $60 boxed set that is otherwise pretty great. It is what it is, and if you plop it in a decent small vehicle you might go "OK, yeah, this is better than I thought."  Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Admiral Thrawn (The Vintage Collection). It's a version designed to match Heir to the Empire - note the shoulder ornamentation and ysalamir - but it retained the unique collar ornamentation from Rebels and Ahsoka. In short, this is probably the Thrawn you were waiting for, unless you're waiting for a retro Kenner-style figure, in which case we're all still waiting. This Thrawn sold out quickly, and is part of a decent set of figures. If you can snag it, you probably should do so. Read on!

While once $20, the Star Wars Rebels The Phantom shuttle is now out of production. Fans take Hasbro vehicle engineering for granted, because even the kid stuff was pretty spectacular. This one had three slide-out cannons, fold-out wings, an articulated rocket launcher, plus an opening cockpit and an opening rear. There was some room for accessory storage, plus a back seat for another figure.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Sandtrooper (The Retro Collection). This is a good one, with two gripping hands and a sculpt that looks like it would belong in the 1970s. He has that diamond knee design you'd expect, the shoulder pad is split to allow for movement, and it has a unique blaster. It's kind of a shame you can't buy these individually, I'd have picked up a few more. He's currently in a 6-pack at Target stores. Read on!

Ad: They're coming back! If you missed Star Wars The Vintage Collection 3 3/4-Inch Darth Revan Action Figure or the Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Starkiller (The Force Unleashed) Action Figure, here's your chance to get them again.

Via Amazon (yes this is a sponsored link): STAR WARS SW 4INCH Figure Vehicle Pack . It's actually an Epic World of Action IG-11, Grogu, and Speeder Bike set - and I believe it's an exclusive. The product listing doesn't have a name and it's not labeled as an exclusive, but I haven't seen it elsewhere so who knows what might happen in other stores in a few days. It's not bad for the asking price - pretty much the same as a regular retail Speeder Bike, with more stuff in the box.

Give it a look.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Joruus C'baoth (The Vintage Collection). It's not Alan Moore, but it could be. It's a mad Jedi clone from a 1991 book, finally arriving to fulfill a name that's been on a lot of wish lists since the original Bush administration. Sadly, the set quickly sold out, but hopefully there will be demand for him to come back. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: GS-C1B (The Book of Boba Fett, Droid Factory). The colors are good, the restraining bolt is missing, and it's mostly pretty excellent. And it sold out online, so if you can get one you should. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Walrus Man (The Retro Collection). It's the only remake of the only wave (that I know of) for the year, taking the 1979 figure and sanding down the edges. The whiskers seem to have been reduced in resolution and blurred out, and the various wrinkles are softer than the real deal - but the colors and paint are perfect. The joints move nicely and the plastic feels great. Hopefully they can sharpen up the next round of reissues, but after seven years of figures I would not hold my breath. His hand can hold his (or one of Evazan's) blasters, but it's a little looser than the 1979 hand. Still, it's nice, and I like the improved eye paint a lot. It's charming, and you should be buying this set anyway. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IT-0 Interrogation Droid (with Darth Vader, Epic Hero Series). It's on clearance! The Target exclusive set from last year gives you 2 basic carded figures with 2 exclusive droid sidekicks. The price has been anywhere from $9 to $20 with a few stops in between, and I'd strongly recommend it Read on!

Ad: Reissues of Star Wars The Black Series Ahsoka Tano (Padawan) 6-Inch Action Figure and Star Wars The Black Series Sergeant Kreel 6-Inch Action Figure are coming! If you missed them, now is the time to get your pre-orders on the books.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: MSE-6 Droid (with Epic Hero Series Stormtrooper). It's pretty cool and you might be at your local Target, where it has been an exclusive for last year, for as little as $9 depending on the week. The Trooper is the same as the 2023 release, but it has a little MSE6-6 droid buddy. That's worthwhile! Read on!
