Star Wars Review: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jabiim, The Black Series)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Obi-Wan Kenobi (Jabiim, The Black Series). He looks a lot like the character from the show, and so do the other figures based on this series which sometimes share parts. Read the whole review.

Review: Culture Fly Scooby-Doo Tiny Mights Yellow Scooby, Flesh Space Kook, and Green Ghost Clown Minifigures with Case

Figure of the DayCulture Fly Scooby-Doo Tiny Mights Yellow Scooby, Flesh Space Kook, and Green Ghost Clown Minifigures with CaseSomething 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!

Now at a Walmart checklane near you - maybe! The Culture Fly Scooby-Doo Tiny Mights Yellow Scooby, Flesh Space Kook, and Green Ghost Clown Minifigures with Case is a new quasi-mystery-box set of MUSCLE-like figures that are allegedly in-stock at your local Walmart - but even if the Walmart.com inventory system says is in stock is not necessarily actually in stock. So far I've only seen them at one Walmart, and near the registers, so good luck to you. They're cool and worth the asking price of $3.47 per 3-pack. That's pretty cheap by modern standards. Do read on, and come back Monday for more fun!

Review: Super7 Star Trek: The Next Generation Armus ReAction Figure

Figure of the DaySuper7 Star Trek: The Next Generation Armus ReAction FigureSomething 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!

Behold, the skin of evil. This Super7 Star Trek: The Next Generation Armus ReAction Figure is probably on sale everywhere online right now, and you can get a good goo guy on the cheap. For $15 or less - especially less - any retro toy collection needs one. The oily finish looks great up-close, and even if he was a dorky alien concept he makes for a decent action figure. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Star Wars Review: R2-S4M

Review: Hasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Nacelle Figure

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Nacelle FigureSomething 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!

At Amazon now - did your Hasbro Pulse order get canceled? The Hasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Nacelle Figure is a redeco of a pretty great mold from a few years ago... but without the distinctive design of his previous toy. (Specifically, Thrust's wings on a toy that's more or less Thundercracker with a blue face.) Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

The new scale! "Kenner" Marvel went away for these Hasbro Marvel Spider-Man Epic Hero Series Miles Morales Action Figure figures. They're better and cheaper for what you get, but will stores be patient enough to let the line flourish and grow into something epoch-defining? Heck if I know, but Miles turned out really well.

Classic Review: Playmates Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Quark Action Figure

Figure of the DayMattel Batman Classic TV Series Batman & Robin Action Figure SetA 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 ten years ago today! The Playmates Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Quark Action Figure came out nearly 39 years ago, and was a good deal at the time. Five or six bucks was the norm for a Kenner figure, so to get something with bending knees and elbow splus a whole suite of accessories and a display base was an incredible deal. He's still pretty cheap on eBay or at comic shops too. Read on, it's a good one - and come back tomorrow for an all-new review!

WGA Strike Over?

TVVia NPR/CNN/Deadline/etc.: Hollywood writers reach a tentative deal with studios after nearly five month strike. There's no return-to-work date, but it sounds like there could be late night comedy shows again in a few weeks.

There are no updates on the SAG-AFTRA strike, so it's also possible these shows may not be back, or may be back in a reduced capacity as to what kind of bits you might see (and what kind of guests you may see.)

Once the hard-working people behind everything that is responsible for what we watch that makes us what we want toys of it are back to getting paid again, the big question will be "soooo when do these movies and shows come out, and what of the toys?" A number of movies were punted from the 2024 release schedule, although a number of movies seemed to have little to no chance of being released "on time" in the first place like Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 which was allegedly scheduled for December of 2023. Which is, honestly, seemingly unlikely given how little toy chatter there was. Heck, is that even the title?

It is also unknown which Star Wars movies are/were coming and when - this could be another opportunity to sweep a project under the rug, again, although the rug is starting to look a little crowded.

With New York Toy Fair 2023 finally kicking off this weekend, I expect we'll hear rumblings of updates and new release dates. (Many of which will, sadly, not yet be made public. There are some now they still haven't shared with the public.)

Star Wars Review: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Princess Leia Organa (Slave Outfit, Custom). It is an actual, real, Kenner-style figure made from an unlicensed source - and since an official release of such a character in this specific costume is unlikely, it's worth a look. It's a lot better than nothing - in fact, it's pretty excellent (albeit very expensive.) Read the whole review.

Game Boy Color Kickstarter - Aaling the Ghost

Game BoyAaling the Ghost for Game Boy ColorVia Kickstarter: Aaling the Ghost for Game Boy Color is a new RPG, but let me answer your two big questions: it doesn't come out until 2025, and you can't back a cartridge. Some of the tiers at €15 let you get a reservation for a cartridge. I'd buy the cartridge the moment it goes on sale, it looks great!

They say: "It is a story-driven turn-based RPG staged in a fantasy world based on early Chinese folk beliefs and landscapes."
