This week in Star Wars Q&A - Next year - is the line pretty much done? Indiana Jones - is it over?
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week. If you have questions, now is a great time to send them in!

Once again, Healey Made has come through with some pretty nice Star Wars-adjacent figures. The orange Fighter Pilot and black and white Speeder Scout are new versions of the Raider figure, who himself has DNA of various figures from the past. They're $25.00 each.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Gonk (Gift Snowflake, Advent Calendar 2024). It's from 2024! It cam in a big sandcrawler box and was the second Advent Calendar in this series - but people didn't show up for it, and you can get it a bit more cheaply on eBay. There wasn't a new one this year, so why not look at last year's? He has a wrapping paper and ribbon motif plus a little red Santa hat. It was nicely done, but it might not fit in with your standard movie figures. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hammerhead (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection). I got mine from Hasbro Pulse, where it has been in and out (and now out) of stock. It's this year's deluxe figure minus a hand and a couple of accessories, shaping up to be an excellent deal as part of the big box set with three other dudes and a backdrop. You should get it if you can find it. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - What happens if tariffs disappear - is it possible? Are deluxe figures deluxe enough? In this economy?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (Epic World of Action). It's new! I have yet to see him in any store, but online sellers have had him off and on since August. The figure's render on the packaging is superb - you can see where things went a little sideways with a head that doesn't quite look the same plus an armor piece around his neck that feels a little too thick.

Ad: Star Wars The Vintage Collection Jabba's Court Denizens 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures 4-Pack and Star Wars The Vintage Collection Jabba the Hutt Action Playset are coming back! Flesh out your palaces or build up your barges with some fantastic aliens and ultra-obscure humans. And a droid!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Snowtrooper Commander (The Vintage Collection). This is the 3-pack guy - the single carded figure (and trooper pack) are the grunts, so this one has different shoulders and knees and a different helmet too. Read on!
According to StarWars.com, the source of and likely reason for this headline, Star Wars Insider to Launch Final Issue in 2026. Magazines are still available in big box stores and grocery stores, but the selection has been decreasing every year and if you want fun sci-fi, game, or comic-related things you probably have to go to a major book chain.
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Is done "done"? Probably not in this hobby! And How are you displaying your Cantina?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (The Vintage Collection). It's new! It has great articulation and construction! But the hair and face are still hard to get right. I'd still recommend it as the best possible option you can buy right now, but you might also be happy with the figures you've got - and a new version is probably inevitable down the road. You can see where the extra money is going with the neck as a piece separately molded from the shirt, a unique wig piece, face printing, and other distinct (and not free) elements. But, the 1999 CommTech one might be good enough for your playset display needs. Read on!
Ad: In stock (while supplies last), the Star Wars The Retro Collection Return of the Jedi 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Set of 6 - Exclusive is back! In 2023 this item was a shared Disney/Hasbro Pulse exclusive and sold through pretty quickly. Orders are processing, and new orders are welcome today for your Yak Face and Mon Mothma needs.
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Clone Captain Rex (Epic World of Action). It's been out for a couple of months and is an excellent figure with a good amount of articulation. The price is great for what you get. So what's the catch? I haven't seen any in stores yet, it's available online and I assume that means the line isn't doing very well. While he has two clear blue pistols - admittedly, an unusual choice - it's still a well-made figure that would probably do great business if people could find it on a peg. I'd recommend it if you can find it. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - One scale to rule them all - is it possible? And price increases, which are happening again, and you can probably guess why.
