Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (Nevarro Cantina, The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

And if you like Batman, there are some 4-inch scale figures from The Flash movie coming soon. If it's still 1989 in your Batcave, this might interest you.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Stormtrooper Commander (Gaming Greats, The Vintage Collection). It's a figure we've had a couple of times before, but this one uses a newer mold and does a nicer job with the paint applications. But is it worth it at the "exclusive tax" mark-up? Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Vel Sartha (The Vintage Collection). It's a decent figure, but light on paint. The head is good, the articulation is fine - not great, but fine - so she isn't exactly impressive at the new suggested retail pricing. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cassian Andor (Andor, Coat, The Vintage Collection). It's a pretty good figure and one of very few from the much-loved but less-viewed Disney+ series. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Imperial Light Cruiser, The Vintage Collection). It's a retool of the Jedi Knight from a few years ago, but paler, and with a new belt. The new soft goods cloak hangs quite nicely! But the face could be better. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (The Rescue, The Vintage Collection). While I find most variants on figures tiring, army builders are a bit of an exception and there's something endlessly amusing by thinking that someone said "Do you know what's orange and looks good on this figure?" in a Hasbro pitch meeting. He joins such luminaries as Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, General Grievous, Super Battle Droids, and unarmored Darth Vader in the "on fire" club. Read on!

Hasbro posted its latest Star Wars Fanstream Wednesday morning. There's a lot to take in, and I have a checklist of all the new names for pipeline reveals and actual reveals (and the embedded video) after the jump. So if you want The Black Series and The Vintage Collection, read more. But the most important thing are the Kenner-style The Retro Collection figures! A new The Book of Boba Fett wave was revealed in name only, and it looks like one heck of a wave.

Target will get another "Prototype" figure, this time it's The Mandalorian (the vinyl cape one) - but what makes it interesting is "Kenner blue" accessories. That's a selling point. The new wave of new characters includes Boba Fett (Desert/Nomad), Mando (new), Grogu (new), Luke Skywalker (Jedi, "refresh"), Fennec Shand, Cad Bane, Krrsantan, and a Tusken Raider. That's eight new or newish figures, and no droids, but at least we get some aliens that might be fun.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Mandalorian (The Rescue, The Vintage Collection). More of the same, but different, and at a premium price! This figure includes a lot of gear like Whistling Birds and a removable wrist rocket, and fire, and the Beskar spear. And a pistol. It's probably the most fleshed-out Mando yet, but he's in an expensive boxed set. But he's probably the best. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi, The Vintage Collection). You get a lot of stuff - two micro droids, a blaster, two lightsaber pieces, a cloak - but the head is a smidgen off, and I really hate that mid-torso joint. Arguably, you get your money's worth in this price increase world but wouldn't it be better to have a slightly simpler figure at a lower price? Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mandalorian Super Commando (The Vintage Collection). A previous figure mold has returned, with new detail and one heck of a big blaster. You may not need more 6-inch Mandalorians, but can you ever have enough different 3 3/4-inch ones? I sure can't. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Rex (The Bad Batch, The Vintage Collection). It's an Amazon exclusive that was really hard to order, and then marked down after it started to ship. The 4-pack is $55.09 as I write this. Read on!
