Star Wars Review: Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Hoth Gear, Shaven, The Vintage Collection)
|
|
  Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Rebel Soldier (Echo Base Hoth Gear, Shaven, The Vintage Collection). It's from a 4-pack, and has a body that was 11 years old when it was new... and it still looks pretty good. It has the obvious limitations on articulation granted from being an older figure with classic hip joints and swivel wrists, but it's still a pretty nifty figure to fill out your snow dioramas. The goggles don't fit so well though.

Review: Blokees Transformers Defender Version 05 Traitor to Tyranny Galvatron Action Figure
|
|
  Daily figure reviews return until I am too tired to want to keep doing it! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues and my hopes is it will encourage you to kick in $1 a month to the Patreon which funds hosting for 16bit.com and Galactic Hunter! Help me keep the servers on and the toy pictures a-rollin'.
Purple! Blokees Transformers Defender Version 05 Traitor to Tyranny Galvatron Action Figure draws inspiration from his TV coloration, with a lot of printed detail and not a lot of extra paint. The chase versions are much more colorful, but this is the one you're more statistically likely to find. I think he turned out well, and he's probably ready to shoot a Sweep in the face. Read on, and come back Monday for more!

Star Wars Review: Yoda (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Yoda (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection). Is he $19ish worth of figure? Not really, but the shiny paint looks really cool. The clear limbs are fine, but I think it might look better if he wasn't part ice sculptor. The designers did a nice job showing one kind of material transitioning into something more ethereal, though, and it's an impressive figure all the same.. Read the whole review.

Old! Onell Design Glyos MVR Reverse Gobon Action Figure is white with yellow limbs, and has been out of the market for over a decade. But it's nice, and it hasn't discolored, so here are some pictures I took way back when with a newly-written overview. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Classic Review: Hasbro Transformers Megatron
|
|
 Something new every day-- but this was posted 10 years ago today! Our exciting Figure of the Day continues for you lucky people! Is there anything we won't cover in this column? Probably not!
Posted 10 years ago! From 2015, Hasbro Transformers Megatron was a hard-to-find, mostly-outside-America release when it was new. The Cyber Battalion figures were surprisingly robust for the price, and required some detective work to find before they started to show up at Universal Studios or, in some cases, Amazon. They're neat.
Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Mulaney's New Set Is Good

Star Wars Review: Mandalorian Shriek-Hawk (Blue and Brown Chest Armor, Pale Yellow Right Shoulder, The Vintage Collection)
|
|
 Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Mandalorian Shriek-Hawk (Blue and Brown Chest Armor, Pale Yellow Right Shoulder, The Vintage Collection). He doesn't have his own name - that I know of. Sure, it's made from a lot of old parts, but so were the costumes. If you missed the set initially, I have good news: it's still available, and it sells for less than I paid for it. If you look at this Amazon affiliate link, it's $42.25 - I paid $64.99 back in 2024.

Review: Blokees Transformers Defender Version 05 Traitor to Tyranny SG-Jetfire Action Figure

Help me keep the servers on and the toy pictures a-rollin'.
Two heads in one! Blokees Transformers Defender Version 05 Traitor to Tyranny SG-Jetfire Action Figure is annoyingly a good figure that took the slot of the regular Jetfire. Sure, it's a nice chase, but I need the regular one too. The head can be rotated around to go from "toy" to "cartoon," but more importantly it's a cheap way to get the evil version of Jetfire. Read on, and come back Monday for more!
