This week in Star Wars Q&A - Packaging limitations! You can't fit everything in a coffin bubble! And angel in a half-shirt - why do our figures get novelty t-shirts? Gotta appeal to the normies. But if you need something new, Blokees are making the rounds.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Update #2: "Sold out" as of 9:41 AM.
Surprising pretty much nobody, Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord has been renewed for a second season. The first season kicks off Monday with two episodes, and then two episodes each subsequent week. Why burn them off so quickly? Who can say?
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: QT-KT (Droid Factory, Carded) . Hasbro had one a few years ago with a similar layout, but different shade of pink and different gimmicks. This one has a build-a-droid part, and costs more. Which comes out victorious? Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver (The Vintage Collection). This one is interesting - the arms, legs, and lower torso are basically just the Snowtrooper from last year. The helmet and chest look a lot like the Shoretrooper or any of a number of Rogue One-era Imperials. The walker itself is impressive, yet expensive. The gaps of the legs were filled with panels, with painted buttons and screens on the console. There's never been an AT-RT with more articulation, plus it has really amazing snowy gunk paint on the legs. And on the other hand, it's $68. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - Vehicles and playsets! Lost to the ages? Also is it time for Hasbro to take a break? Probably never, that one's on you.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Good news - Walmart stores in the United States are resetting their toy aisles! Numerous items from Hasbro and other toymakers are on the shelves for The Mandalorian and Grogu, including the new, large, 4 1/2-inch scale ActionVerse. Bad news: there was no sign of any The Vintage Collection action figures to be seen.
Ad: G.I. Joe Classified Series Legacy Collection Action Soldier 6-Inch Action Figure is new and in stock while supplies last. Also, pre-order the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Orray & Geonosian Picador. It's coming later this year!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Veers (AT-AT Driver, The Vintage Collection). The Imperial Officer buck from a few years ago is retooled with one of the best original trilogy human likenesses we've ever had. The helmet is removable. There's no chin strap or micorphone. The armor is fused to the chest. But it looks amazing, so you probably want to upgrade your 2006 Veers or your 2010 generic AT-AT Driver. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Greedo (The Vintage Collection). This is the figure from the HasLab, now available outside that Cantina set. It's a really nice figure, although I would have liked them to have done something different with the sculpting for his yellow trim. Other than that, it's the best Greedo we've ever had at this size.

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Subcontracting vehicles! I doubt it, but others are doing some good work with other licenses. Also How did you get here? Well, I had to do something.
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (1995 Classic Edition 4-Pack). A semi-infamous collection of figures due to their smaller stature and altered colors from the 1970s and 1980s originals, these figures are an interesting curiosity today.
This Toys "R" Us exclusive Han has a "Kenner blue" blaster, only it's a different blue... and the original Han never had a blue blaster. Despite predating scanning technology, Han retains a surprising amount of detail that we saw lost in the 2019 The Retro Collection reissue.
This figure also aged incredibly well, at 31 years old I feel no oily residues or squeaky joints. Further, the 4-pack is still somewhat cheap if you're in the market for some oddball variations like these guys. I should have given them a look earlier, but I have to admit they're far more interesting in 2026 given the thousands of figures that have come since his debut. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jedi Legend, The Vintage Collection). He might be at a Ross near you, because life is weird. This is a great figure! He shares parts with other figures, but he also has new parts and deco like a distinctive set of goggles and a vibe that matches that one statue that was super expensive that you probably didn't buy. He's neat for $20, but for $5? Buy two, he's great. Read on!
This week in Star Wars Q&A - The future of stores! Well, maybe, it hasn't got much of one. Also Is 3-D printing ready for prime time? Hasbro might not get to everything before you turn 65, first-gen fans, so is it time to do it yourself?
Also we are out of questions so I have two openings for next week and beyond, if you dare.
