Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Axe Woves (The Black Series). It's a good one! An existing body was used with a different head and some different color configurations to deliver unto you another Mandalorian for your armies. Read the whole review.

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!

Via the Glyos News Dump, we have news on three separate drops: Pre-Order Now: Manglors Wave 1.5 Menu, Mangord First Impressions. I got my Manglord on Monday, and he's impressive - but sold out! Thankfully ToyFinity is rerunning him, plus another colorway, plus more Mordles for a May release. Click for details.

If that weren't enough, we have a Toy Pizza Knights of the Slice Drop for February 6, 2023 . "It Came from the Caves" is the theme, with some bulky Diver molds in nifty new colors. One of these figures already sold out - heck, others probably did too. Click here to check availability at Knights of the Slice.

Rounding out the week, we have a New Bio-Masters Drop on Friday Night at 9:00 PM CST. We don't know which figures it'll be, but a "Demons of the Deep" drop theme was mentioned. I missed out on last summer's new molds, so I'm hoping it will include some of those. (One is pictured.) Take a gander at the Bio=Mass Mutants if you haven't already done so.

That makes this a particularly eventful week for Glyos toys, and it's only Monday. The Healey Made Raider (Bulloch) is also still in stock as I write this.

Via the Glyos News Dump: Available Now: Healey Made Raider (Bulloch). At press time, the Kenner-ish figure is still somehow in stock at $25. There have been a few Boba Fett-flavored figures, although for all I know it's a bigger run. If you've never bought a Raider, I'd recommend trying it out - if not this one, maybe when a weirder colorway comes out. (Shadow is still my favorite.)

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.

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 1:00 AM my time on Monday!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Aayla Secura (The Black Series). In the not-too-distant future, right now A.D., there as a guy named Adam not too different from you or me. And this is the Figure of the Day #3,000 - which is a milestone for what kicked off as a filler feature with diminishing returns. Thankfully, the figure is excellent and Hasbro did a great job with her. It's strange that she has pre-2020-style knees, but one of last year's finer figures is a keeper. Read the whole review.

Via the Glyos News Dump: New Healey Made Raider Saturday, February 4. The Raiders are pretty fantastic figures and have come in dozens of colorways so far. They're not cheap, but they're about as close as you can get to a new old Kenner-style action figure... and I include Hasbro's own Kenner-style figures in the mix. These are generally, in terms of sculpt, closer to the original (old) article.

Via Neowin: Zelda: A Link to the Past can now be compiled on Windows and Nintendo Switch. The code has been reverse-engineered so you can do ports on a bunch of systems, plus new features like pixel shading are able to be used. Does it matter? Well, not to me, but someone will care. Widescreen aspect ratios may be the most important enhancement.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Grogu (The Black Series). It's the accessories from the somewhat more-expensive-than-he-should-be $10 figure with a floating egg for $25. He's guaranteed to sell, the paint is fine, he's cute, but you might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to other $25 figures. You might cringe and grit your teeth when you see him next to $10 figures, because there's no level of "pretty good" that makes up for "this would be puny if it were a 3 3/4-inch release and it's a 6-inch release."
