Star Wars Review: Kithaba (2023 Reissue, The Vintage Collection)
|
|
  Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Kithaba (2023 Reissue, The Vintage Collection). Take three! The first one had a brown bandanna, then there was a red variation. This one from last month has some of that fancy tiny dot printing, giving it a slightly different look - especially if you squint and have a microscope. But you don't, so it's just a good new edition of an alien figure that you probably very much want. Read the whole review.

Classic Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Fig Rig from 2013
|
|
 A classic! I've written over 5,000 action figure reviews since 2006, so I'm going to toot my own horn with classic Figure of the Day.
Posted 10 years ago today! The Mattel Hot Wheels Fig Rig is another classic, and you can still find repaints of it in stores. It was the first bricks-compatible Hot Wheels car, and this one works particularly well with LEGO figures. If you don't already have one, go to the store and buy one in whatever color you can find. It's a great toy. Read on, it's a good one - and come back tomorrow for an all-new review!

Glyos Shadow Raider V.2 & New Manglors and Mordles
|
|
  Via the Glyos News Dump: Healey Made Menu: May 27, 2023. Several years ago, the first painted Healey Made Glyos figure was the Raider (Shadow) - this new one changes up a few paint hits, and adds a cloth cape to the mix. It's basically just different enough to make you mad, but I bought one anyway. Click here to see if it's still able to be ordered. At press time it's still available for $25 and is a nice fit with your original Kenner figures, even if it's not really a Star Wars guy.
You can also click here to read the review of the first version over at 16bit.com. I liked it.
But wait, there's more! You can also see the ToyFinity Drop Menu - May 28, 2023. New Manglors and Mordles can be yours while supplies last - so go check those out too.

Star Wars Review: Han Solo (Endor, The Retro Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Han Solo (Endor, The Retro Collection). The skin color of modern retro guys aren't as good as the originals, but the sculpt is excellent and so is the coat. Given the coat covers most of this somewhat hard-to-find 1984 figure, I'd say it's worth getting aboard the "good enough" train. Toot toot. Read the whole review.

New or Newish Healey Made Raider Saturday
|
|
 Via the Glyos News Dump: Healey Made New Raider on Saturday 5/27. Specific details were not shared, but we were previously shown a Raider (Shadow) remake along with an Assassin, and as far as I know those are probably the next two figures. It would be my guess, anyway.
