Ad: Get new Hasbro Indiana Jones from Entertainment Earth! Pre-orders are up for action figures, props, artwork, and more. Orders of $39+ ship for free with the code FREESHIP39!

This week in Q&A - Ship happens, but not in Spain! Did the world miss out on the Barge? Pretty much. Will HasLab make you figures that you want? No, probably never.

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

Ad: Hello there. You can pre-order the Star Wars: The Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Mandalorian Armor Pop! Vinyl Figure #599 - Entertainment Earth Exclusive from Entertainment Earth right now! Based on the episodes where the Jedi master borrowed some Mandalorian gear to help liberate Mandalore from Darth Maul and his crime syndicate, this figure comes complete with lightsaber. It's awesome and due around April 2023.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Tython, Jedi Ruins, The Black Series). It's a little like the non-exclusive figure, but with more damage paint and a different belt - I like it! Heck, I think it's one of the better figures. But is it worth the upcharge? Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (The Black Series). It's a good one! An existing body was used with a different head and some different color configurations to deliver unto you another Mandalorian for your armies. Read on!

While peeking around on Amazon I saw a bunch of The Retro Collection figures for around $5-$8 - and I'd pretty much recommend them all at under $8.  Boba Fett (Morak) is spectacular, but the super cheap $4.99 Fifth Brother Inquisitor is probably the best-engineered figure from Obi-Wan Kenobi.  It'll make you old Kenner kids happy. And yes, these are affiliate links, it is possible we may get a few pennies if you click and buy something from Amazon.

This week in Q&A - A tax upon them! Is it just Boba Fett? Also pre-orders - it's really hard to set run sizes.

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

If you like indie toys - and dagnabbit, I'm trying to make you like them - you'll want to see the new Healey Made Raider (Bulloch) action figure. Made with Kennery goodness in mind, this not-quite-Tarkin/Boba Fett/Cobra Commander figure is $25.00 and will probably be sold out at some point in the middle of the week. (It's also painted to match the Trooper (Bulloch) figure we reviewed recently.) Click here to check availability.

For those keeping track, this is the whopping 36th colorway of this figure since its debut in 2019.

Fan production house Stan Solo Creation's Etsy Shop put up a lot of new stuff recently, including the Stan Solo Glow in the Dark Force Ghosts set.

I picked up a few Stan Solo figures and the quality is generally really good. The sculpting cuts are deep and the accessories look like the real deal, but are just off enough to tell they're reproductions.

Fan production house The Next 17 put up a smattering of new Kenner-style figures today. These are fan-made figures at a high price. New additions include Hem Dazon, Feltipern Trevagg, Dr. Evazan, Wuher, Lak Sivrak, and some others. Check 'em out here.

Via the Glyos News Dump: New Healey Made Raider Saturday, February 4.  The Raiders are pretty fantastic figures and have come in dozens of colorways so far. They're not cheap, but they're about as close as you can get to a new old Kenner-style action figure... and I include Hasbro's own Kenner-style figures in the mix. These are generally, in terms of sculpt, closer to the original (old) article.

I really like these guys. Click here for a review of the Shadow Raider and click here for a look at the Revenge Raider.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Aayla Secura (The Black Series). In the not-too-distant future, right now A.D., there as a guy named Adam not too different from you or me. And you should really just relax for Figure of the Day #3,000 - which is a milestone for what kicked off as a filler feature with diminishing returns. Thankfully, the figure is excellent and Hasbro did a great job with her. It's strange that she has pre-2020-style knees, but one of last year's finer figures is a keeper. 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.

Ad: A new exclusive! This Star Wars: Return of the Jedi 40th Hologram Luke Glow-in-the-Dark Pop! Vinyl Figure - Entertainment Earth Exclusive is what it says. You can put it in front of Mighty Jabba, to offer him a gift - these two droids. (Two droids not included, sold separately.) This true blue hero is expected around April.

Well, they can't all feel like a great deal: Grogu (The Black Series). It's the accessories from the somewhat more-expensive-than-he-should-be $10 figure with a floating egg for $25. He's guaranteed to sell, the paint is fine, he's cute, but you might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to other $25 figures. You might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to $10 figures, because there's no level of "pretty good" that makes up for "this would be puny if it were a 3 3/4-inch release and it's a 6-inch release."
