Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Din Djarin (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It's a costume, so it's about right for Halloween season. Read on!
This week in Q&A - 3 3/4-inch Kenner Envy! The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. And The Cantina Playset of Your Dreams - would you buy it if it were dismembered?
Be sure you send in your questions for next time. The mailbag is out of on-topic questions, so if you got some, send some in. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (The Black Series). It's a big one! The black plastic is shiny, the articulation actually seems worth the upcharge - but the chest is a tiny bit loose on the body, like a vest. It's a stunning display piece and a neat figure for Dark Forces and The Mandalorian fans, so grab one if you can. Read on!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 1-JAC (Disney Droid Factory). This figure has blasters fused to his legs and hands that can't hold guns - it's a new sculpt, so this seems like a deliberate attempt to keep the figure less exciting than Disney's previous 4-LOM mold. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Damaged Vader? Well I hope so! And Disney vs. Hasbro 3 3/4-inch toys - what's the deal with the split?
I also have a bonus tirade on my ongoing restarted attempt to get my collection on a decent display, rather than a weird horde. How? Nail polish racks.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Morak, The Vintage Collection). It's hanging around here, and you can probably find this Target exclusive just by going to the store. I don't doubt the upcharge to $20.99 helps keep them around, but it is a fairly nice figure despite the price. Read on!
Disney's Star Wars Droid Factory Advent Calendar added some photos to reveal a few parts from the droids inside. Click here to go over there to see it. While I think it's wrong to consider not knowing what is in a $69.99 toy before buying it, some of you are very spoiler-averse and really, I don't even know what to do for people coming to a site for toy news. I certainly don't want to see anyone spend money and be unhappy on the grounds of the "surprise" being that you just bought toys you already own.
All the droid paint jobs are new and presently exclusive to this set.
So don't click after the jump for a description. They say

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Echo (The Black Series). It's about as close to the Borg as you will see in Star Wars, and this figure has a decent smattering of gear and a distinctive paint job. Read on!
This week in Q&A - 3 3/4-inch figures - an online exclusive? (Aren't they already?) And Plastic-Free Packaging - can they seal in freshness?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Black Krrsantan (Comic, The Black Series). It's the Halloween Wookiee! We, Chewbacca with a new head and armor! Based on the comics, this is the stopgap figure you can enjoy until the TV one comes out, at which time you'll never look at this one again. It's still a good head sculpt, with a great snarl, and lots of unique features like scars and pretty bright eyes. Having said that you may have a dozen of this mold with all the Chewbaccas they've made. Read on!
If you want it or not, Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #11 is ready!
Back in the 1990s I wrote an email newsletter with news and rumors about all things Kenner, Galoob, and whatever else I could dig up. Sadly this is mostly limited to stuff that has been confirmed, but this has new theme park releases, updates on movies and small screen shows, and the obligatory info dump from Hasbro's Pulse Con last weekend. Spoiler: if you were expecting more Cantina or Jabba Palace figures in any size, give up.
Click here to read the full update and the old ones too!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Stormtrooper (6-Inch Value Figure, Black Logo Line Look). These have been showing up at Five Below and Walmart, and probably elsewhere, for about $5. Read on!
