This week in Q&A - Store exclusive limits! Hasbro is in no position to set limits, because that's up to the store. Marvel is getting big because 3 3/4-inch has been dead. Imports - well, lower those expectations.
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: Princess Leia (Endor, The Vintage Collection). I actually saw one in a Walmart two days ago - and she looks good, provided her face is on straight! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grand Admiral Thrawn (The Black Series 6-Inch). This blue baddie from 2017 got reissued this year... but this is the 2017 main line release, which is slightly different from the SDCC exclusive version. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Eaglemoss! No Star Wars there yet. For figures, I mean. Exclusive distribution! Can Hasbro dictate terms on how they're sold? No. Boba Fett variants! Also no.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Heir to the Empire, The Black Series 6-Inch). It's Dagobah Luke, in black, with a different lightsaber and a ysalamiri for your Thrawn figure. I'd recommend it, even if Luke does look a little young for a post-Return of the Jedi timeline.

What's today's popsicle-colored figure? This one
: C2-B9 (Droid Depot Line Look). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's part of one of the very best robot boxed sets they have released to date, which includes two astromech droids and some big, all-new molds. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Captain Rex! Why is he wearing new clothes? The Imperial Dignitary! After not seeing a revision of the 1984 figure after two and a half decades, how hopeful should we be? And Boba Fett's Starship! Am I going to step in something?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Remnant Stormtrooper (The Retro Collection). This version looks like the old Kenner one, but comes on a retro card and is dirty. Also it comes packaged with a board game. It was originally exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Shop, but now you can get it at Entertainment Earth and potentially elsewhere. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (The Clone Wars, The Black Series 6-Inch). This Target exclusive is still super-tough to come by... as are the others. Read on!
This week in Q&A - obscure characters! Sometimes we get surprised. Retro-style figures! I pose 5 joints in the morning. I pose 5 joints at night. Spoilers! Not necessarily. Nothing is quite that obvious.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: FN-2187 (Finn Stormtrooper, The Force Awakens). It's Finn with a removable helmet, from about five years ago - it's still a good figure. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: 4-LOM (Droid Factory Line Look / Droid Depot). This is Disney's release for theme parks, and it's probably the best-painted one yet. Read on!
This week in Q&A - Lightsabers! Of course there's more. Joining the business! How do you do it? The tenacity of the cockroach. Figure upgrades! They happen.
Happy 4th!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Enfys Nest (The Vintage Collection). This version has more articulation, gauntlet weapons, and a better cape than the swoop bike pack-in version. But sadly, no removable helmet! It's still worth getting. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Carnor Jax (Kir Kanos, The Black Series 6-Inch). The box copy is for Carnor Jax, but the figure and image are clearly Kir Kanos, which is clearly the Emperor's Royal Guard with a new cape and a new staff. Good enough? Maybe. Read on!
