We're taking donations for server costs! Really. One of the rewards is Q&A a few days early - you can read next Monday's installment as soon as it's ready, which can be as early as 12:01 AM my time on Monday!
If you've got a dollar a month to share, please Visit the Galactic Hunter Patreon and help cover our server costs. I'll still put in hours of work, writing, photography, and research - I just need some help making sure that the site costs me only time, and hopefully not money. Thanks for your support!
Via my friend Shaun:
Trust Me Vodka x DEVO. I don't recommend that you drink, I don't know/endorse this product, but I do love Devo and I do report on a lot of licensed products. Spuds may be amused that a potato vodka with a Devo license exists, but at $350, also not.
In the world of collecting stuff, rarely does anything alcohol-related register as amusing enough to share - well, maybe that old Mr. Spock decanter. But not much else.
This week's batch of titles on the eShop: Arcade Archives Pop Flamer, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom PrinceÕs Edition, Street Outlaws 2: Winner Takes All, and over a dozen more.
Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
It's a car for your LEGO guys! The Mattel Hot Wheels Tooned Pixel Shaker is a 2021 redeco of an older car, but it's on shelf now and you can put a LEGO guy in it. As with most weird cars, it's worth the dollar. So read on, and come back tomorrow for more!
Star Wars Review: Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Endor, The Vintage Collection). New for 2021, figure takes a 2010 Jedi Luke and adds a new head and new accessories - and it's pretty great if you can find one, exclusively at Walmart. Read the whole review.
Via Retro-Bit: Alway's Awakening: The 8-Bit Edition. This is really interesting - there's a $60 fancy deluxe Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge with bells and whistles, and also a $20 USB stick with the NES ROM (ROMcarts, emulators, etc.) too - so you can buy a ROM on a physical thing. This is neat, and I'd like to see more things like it.
It's an indie game getting an NES port with supposedly minimal loss of fidelity, which is impressive - it's expected to ship spring of 2022, and pre-orders are open until October 17.
Via Record Store Day: 'Weird Al' Yankovic/Osaka Popstar - Beat on The Brat (Maxi Single). It's been a long time since there was a new record from "Weird Al" Yankovic, and this EP has a mix of existing tracks on a new slab of 12-inch vinyl. There are four total versions of "Beat on the Brat" between Mr. Yankovic and the band Osaka Popstar, plus a couple of other Ramones covers from each act. It should be good.
2,500 copies will go on sale for Record Store Day come Black Friday this November. They should all be on eBay and Discogs the following Monday.
Via my pal Shaun again: Stern Pinball has a Godzilla table coming! This table is based on the classic kaiju movies, so you'll see a lot of the lower-budget man-in-monster stuff that so many kids of the 20th century grew up with and love. There are three versions, and the cheap one is just under $7,000. Here's a trailer.
Via Limited Run Games Clubo'fun Newsletter: A not-too-subtle hint in the fold-out volume issue 3 that shipped with my copy of Bloodstained: Circle of the Moon 2 had this to say about the super-rare Konami game:
"We hear a certain ultra-rare GBA ninja game may be swinging its way back into action soon. Fitting! Its policeman protagonist sure wouldn't want you to pirate the game."
The game was overlooked in its day and a bare legit cart in good shape is close to $400 these days. A reissue would certainly be welcome - by me, maybe not those of you who paid $500.
Review: Hasbro Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Trilogy Deluxe Buzzworthy Origin Bumblebee Action Figure
Something new every day-- unless it's old! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
It's called 84 - as in level 8-4 in Super Mario Bros. - and costs about US $75 to hang out with his stash for 90 minutes. (I'd pay it.) If you haven't run out of articles this month, it's a good read.
Via amClicks: Figuras Serie 21: Fotos y comentarios. Every year Playmobil puts out at least two series of mystery bagged figures, the first of which tends to appear around January - and this seems to be next year's lot.
There are a lot of interesting choices - a butcher, a paintball player, a mechanic, what appears to be Alucard, a fish woman, a French woman, a ribbon dancer, some sort of valkyrie, and a ninja to name a few.
Also at Target and Hasbro Pulse: Transformers Collaborative: Universal Monsters Dracula Mash-Up, Draculus. It's branded Universal Monsters, but is just Mindwipe with a cape and some other minor changes - and it's $32. Walmart had a reissue of Mindwipe in a G1 box for $20 earlier this year. this Halloween-themed exclusive doesn't seem to have anything to do with the movies, but it'll ship after Thanksgiving this year.

Star Wars Review: Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Hoth, The Vintage Collection) . This is a figure from a few years ago, updated with new paint - and he's different! The skin looks a lot better this time around, but once you put the mask on he's not all different. Read the whole review.
Galactic Hunter has posted a Adam's Star Wars Newsletter #4! It's the darling of 1990s dial-up Star Wars internet news, but with a list of this week's new announcements and some rambling. Highlights include: Razor Crest delay, new Bib Fortuna figure, and so many repaints. Read it here!
New figures from The Vintage Collection join an exclusive shared Greef Karga from The Black Series and Rey's lightsaber from the end of The Rise of Skywalker.
