Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Echo (The Black Series). It's about as close to the Borg as you will see in Star Wars, and this figure has a decent smattering of gear and a distinctive paint job. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Black Krrsantan (Comic, The Black Series). It's the Halloween Wookiee! We, Chewbacca with a new head and armor! Based on the comics, this is the stopgap figure you can enjoy until the TV one comes out, at which time you'll never look at this one again. It's still a good head sculpt, with a great snarl, and lots of unique features like scars and pretty bright eyes. Having said that you may have a dozen of this mold with all the Chewbaccas they've made. Read on!
If you want it or not, Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #11 is ready!
Back in the 1990s I wrote an email newsletter with news and rumors about all things Kenner, Galoob, and whatever else I could dig up. Sadly this is mostly limited to stuff that has been confirmed, but this has new theme park releases, updates on movies and small screen shows, and the obligatory info dump from Hasbro's Pulse Con last weekend. Spoiler: if you were expecting more Cantina or Jabba Palace figures in any size, give up.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Wandering Jedi, The Retro Collection). Let's wrap up Old School September with this figure that looks like it came out of 1984. He's got a blaster, he's got a lightsaber, and he has one of Hasbro's very best Jedi Robes - which is surprising, given it's a retro figure. I really like this one. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Fifth Brother (The Retro Collection). It's a good one - I like the double-bladed lightsaber, I like the lack of a vinyl cape, I like how he stands and sits and fits in my vehicles. He's fun to fuss with and arguably one of the best figures to get thanks to his cool hat. (Sure he's not doing much on the show but at least you get a decent action figure.) Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Darth Vader (Dark Times, The Retro Collection). White what-if figure offers a cloth cape and a non-telescoping lightsaber, giving us a functionally very different Dark Lord of the Sith toy. Unfortunately the sculpting is the flattest of the wave, with some areas having less sculpted detail than the 1978 original. (But it's still really neat.) Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Chewbacca (Prototype Edition - Orange Head, The Retro Collection). Let's keep looking at 1970s- and 1980s-style action figures this week with a Crayola-infused Wookiee - Hasbro's fourth "prototype" release so far. He doesn't exactly deviate from the no-paint, many-colors pattern we've enjoyed but it's still fun to check out things like a bright yellow bowcaster and a Grinch-colored Wookiee-limb. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,956: NED-B (The Retro Collection). Ned's about $12, and looks a little modern, but is he worth it? I think so - it's a new retro-style droid and we don't get a heck of a lot of those. He has a hammer! Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (& Ahsoka Tano, The Vintage Collection Deluxe). "Grogu, his arms wide" sounds like a Tamarian metaphor, but it's just a Walmart exclusive accessory with a jointed head and not much else. It's great in the context of the set. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bo-Katan Kryze (6-Inch Value Figure, Black Logo Line Look). For a $5 figure, she's pretty good - but could use more paint on the torso. Still, an impressive figure for what you have to pay for her. Read on!
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Boba Fett (Throne Room, The Black Series). He's pretty impressive - but costs a lot more. (I don't see where the money is going really.) It's still a good figure. Read on!
