Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Reva (Third Sister, The Black Series). They did a pretty great job with this one, featuring one of the better heads and faces with tip-top armor and extra lightsaber accessories. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cassian Andor (Aldahani Mission, The Vintage Collection). He's starting to pop up in stores (and online), but he's also mostly older figure parts and as such, is missing the blaster he made a fuss about holding on Andor. As a last-minute, rush job of a figure it's not bad - but since we got fully-sculpted figures from the show already it just reminds me that we could have had something a little bit better. Read on!

This week in Q&A - Collector cases! Is this a missed opportunity? Probably not. And Quotas - are these some of my favorite things? Not particularly.

Be sure you send in your questions. The mailbag is out of questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!

It sold out, but I still reviewed it at 16bit.com Figure of the Day. It's a 3 3/4-inch sci-fi figure in the style of classic Kenner figures.

It blue! The Healey Made Trooper (Shadow) Action Figure is unsurprisingly, a lot of fun to play with and seems like it would have been something Kenner made after it ran out of Ewoks and Droids. Because it's Glyos, you can mix and match with the other Healey figures - and he's a good match with the Raider or other Trooper. He sold out, but if you have the chance to buy one in this or another color you should.

In an exciting bit of price disparity, the same toy is $20 cheaper at Hasbro Pulse. Click here to pre-order the Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Collectible Figures Multipack at Hasbro Pulse for $69.99. Or, you can click here to get it for $89.99 at Shop Disney. Why the difference? I have no idea - Hasbro's price is more in line with the current $11.99-ish retail price per figure elsewhere.

While Shop Disney has no date, Hasbro Pulse says to expect it around June 5. Supposedly these have hit US warehouses, so it should be a fun time soon to see how the clicking mechanism in R2-D2's head translated to new production... or how it compares to the Stan Solo droid remakes.

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!

Update: false alarm, just vinyl and resin - no 3 3/4-inch action figures.

It's almost May the 4th! While I am sick of the goofy pun that went from a horrible joke to a marketing holiday, I'm excited that new Retro Kenner reissues, Black Series, and Vintage figures are going up. But I'm also excited to see one of my favorite adjacent toymakers, Healey Made, is doing some restocks/new stuff. He does vinyl and PVC indie releases that are all pretty awesome, like the pictured Trooper (Shadow) action figure. It's worth checking out.

Click here to check his shop or click here to see all the Healey Made posts I made over at the Glyos News Dump.

He also does some swell resin wrestling figures based on famous alien action figures.  You'd like them.

This week in Q&A - Retro sculpt criticism! Is it you, or are they a little softer on detail? (It's not you.) Mixing and matching your way to new figures! Look, megacorporations are gonna do what megacorporations wanna do.

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!

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.
