It's new for 2021! Han Solo (Endor, The Vintage Collection) . First released in 2006 - and again in 2011 - this figure has been updated for 2021, and is one of few figures to actually look worse with the photo real paint. The coat is an improvement, though! Read on!

This week in Q&A - the value of the license! It's still high. Retro figures! Do they have a future? And can inflation destroy the hobby? Not as much as indifference can!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Shadow Stormtrooper (The Vintage Collection) . It's a new release of a figure we've had before - but now it has better color and uses the newest mold! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: BT-1 (Beetee, The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2019 release has been staring at me from the shelf for two years, but I hadn't got around to reviewing this accessory-laden comic-based robot. It's good! Read on!
This week in Q&A - Small Batteries! What duty now for the future can we perform? Rare Canadian variants! ...I mean, you know where this is going. And how hard is it to match colors of old toys? You'd be (not) very surprised.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Doctor Aphra (The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a figure that shares parts with Jaina Solo, but it's not like you noticed. Sadly she has long since sold out without a rerun in sight, but this is still a nifty figure worth a look. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2020 release is an absolute blast, with great soft goods, excellent articulation, and one of the very best Carrie Fisher faces you can buy on an action figure. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Time delay! Remember when it took 20 years to get Grand Moff Tarkin? That's nothing. And The Razor Crest - let's talk delays and features!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (Endor, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's a remix of new and old parts, but that head sculpt is amazing and the face paint is remarkable! It's one of the very best Harrison Ford figures Hasbro has ever cranked out and gives us good hope for the future - hopefully you got one! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Hux (The Black Series 6-Inch). This 2015 release has been in my review pile, so let's look at it now! I was surprised to realize it doesn't share parts with The Last Jedi First Order officers - but it is excellent! Read on!
