Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,101: Boba Fett (Dune Sea, The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 23, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Dune Sea, The Retro Collection). Some online shops (like Entertainment Earth) are shipping out this wave but I haven't seen any in stores yet. If you do see them, you should get them - Boba has a good head sculpt, excellent Jawa-esque robes, and two really nice accessories to boot. I went and got my The Vintage Collection Boba Fett's Spaceship (or whatever it's called this week) when I cracked him open and had myself a pretty good time in the cargo hold, but he's too big to fit in the pilot seat.

Hasbro Fanstream for Star Wars - January 23, 2024 Edition

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 23, 2024

The live stream is over, finished! Pre-orders begin for these items - or at least most of these items - tomorrow.

The big news and the biggest surprise to me was the Pipeline Reveal of The Retro Collection 6-pack of Revenge of the Sith and Attack of the Clones figures for Shop Disney and Hasbro Pulse. It's at 40:19.   Highlights include Padme (AOTC), Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker (ROTS), General Grievous, and Jango Fett. Also an Episode III Clone Trooper in plain white.   Hopefully this means regular drops of 6-packs are in the cards for other movies.

Q&A: Star Wars Generation Loss and The New Movie Circular File

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, January 21, 2024

This week in Star Wars Q&A - How full is the movie trashcan? It's hard to count at this point. Also do the kids care about classic Star Wars? Probably. But in LEGO form.

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,100: Pre Vizsla (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 18, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Pre Vizsla (The Vintage Collection). He is available as a 6-inch figure as well, and for all I know you may find either at a store near you - they're both good, but this one takes up . Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,099: Marrok (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 16, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Marrok (The Black Series). He's a knight, sort of, and he's rusty, kind of. But it's a nice looking toy figure. Read on!

Q&A: Star Wars Big Vehicles and More Mando

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, January 14, 2024

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Why not a 6-inch Skyhopper? Also Why not more Mando? .

Be sure you send in your questions, the mail bag is empty. We have no questions for next week's update, which may mean I get a break. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,098: C1 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 11, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: C1 Droid (Advent Calendar 2022). It's another droid, with bright colors, that's Christmas related, but I don't get the gag - but little brown shoes, sure. Green pants, OK. Yellow suspenders, I can't complain. If you like robot toys, it's an interesting one with a fold-out arm in his chest and two more on the head. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,097: Wicket W. Warrick (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 9, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Wicket W. Warrick (The Retro Collection). The nose paint is a little off, and the hood feels very different from the rubbery 1984 original - but it's still cute, small, and last I checked, sold out. Get this set if you can find it at retail price. Read on!

Q&A: Factory Questions and Star Wars Is Too Expensive in 2024?

By Adam Pawlus — Sunday, January 7, 2024

This week in Star Wars Q&A - Excitement. Do I need everybody to be as excited as a fan? Well... no. And that's the only question we got, so let's glossy over 2023 really quickly. It was jam-packed with stuff but fans don't seem too excited for it. The solution? Give us less stuff, and time to enjoy it.

Be sure you send in your questions, the mail bag is empty. We have one question for next week's update. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,096: General Hera Syndulla (The Vintage Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, January 4, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Hera Syndulla (The Vintage Collection). It's important to release a character in triplicate, and all three flavors came out last fall. This one is 3 3/4-inches tall and has all the articulation, making it the one you'll probably want to have handy when The Ghost shows up from HasLab later this year. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,095: Professor Huyang (The Black Series)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, January 2, 2024

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Professor Huyang (The Black Series). You might actually find him in stores now. The sculpting is great, the paint is good, but the plastic reads more as "plastic" than "metal robot." But it's good - the articulation is top-notch and the design made the jump to a 6-inch figure pretty nicely. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,094: Power Droid (a.k.a. Gonk, Advent Calendar 2022)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 28, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Power Droid (Advent Calendar 2022). It's a present - and it looks pretty good, too. Dare you unwrap this Sandcrawler box of robots and find a green robot inside with a ribbon?  Probably, it's been on sale lately. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 3,093: General Hera Syndulla (The Retro Collection)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 26, 2023

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: General Hera Syndulla (The Retro Collection). If you can find one, it's a fun figure. This is a new mold that aims to make a figure close to something like they sold in the 1980s, but it has details like a little lip paint and patches on the jacket that we'd never have seen back then. It's not exactly like an old Kenner figure, but it comes close with the 5 joints, and the blaster loop holster, and the fact she can actually fit in your old vehicles. (And hopefully, the new one coming in the fall from HasLab.) Read on!
