Revenge of Galactic Hunter

Star Wars Review: IT-0 Interrogation Droid (with Darth Vader, Epic Hero Series)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: IT-0 Interrogation Droid (with Darth Vader, Epic Hero Series). It's on clearance! The Target exclusive set from last year gives you 2 basic carded figures with 2 exclusive droid sidekicks. The price has been anywhere from $9 to $20 with a few stops in between, and I'd strongly recommend it Read the whole review.

Also, The Galactic Hunter database has been repaired so the site is back online. I backfilled missing stories, so it should be all caught up. I am likely to keep the little 16bit-style hype labels on new stories, though, I think that's a good (readable) change. Thanks for your continued readership and support.

Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Cone Shaker

Figure of the DayMattel Hot Wheels Cone ShakerSomething 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!

Stackable! The Mattel Hot Wheels Cone Shaker is new, and it's a traffic cone. If you have more than one, they're stackable - there's a hole in the bottom. It's a clever idea. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Ad: Get Transformers Studio Series 86 Blaster at Entertainment Earth

Entertainment EarthAd: Did you miss Transformers Studio Series 86 Voyager Autobot Blaster & Eject Action Figure? Probably. Now you can get it! This version of Blaster is colored more like the cartoon, and Eject is opaque (as opposed to transparent blue, like Legacy Eject) making it the clear winner.

Review: Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Fisitron and Carnivac

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Fisitron and CarnivacSomething 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!

New! Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Fisitron and Carnivac came out last month, bringing Ironfist to the arguable masses. He had a fan club figure, a figure in G1, and a BotCon figure, and odds are you don't have any of those. But Amazon can get you this. There's also Carnivac, who hasn't had a new toy in decades. It's a fun set. Read on!

HasLab G.I. Joe Snow C.A.T.: Week 1 Progress

G.I. JoeGetting ColderVia HasLab: G.I. Joe Classified Series Snow C.A.T. (Combat All-Terrain) Vehicle With Farley "Frostbite" Seward Action Figure. It is not funded yet.

It was around 5,100 at the end of the first day. Now, it's a bit beyond 6,500 with about 37 days to go. It sold under 100 units on Monday, but it'll pick up in coming weeks - especially when Hasbro puts it out at Comic-Con in a few weeks.

Svengoolie This Weekend: Invaders from Mars (1953)

SvengoolieGet the Rubber ChickensSvengoolie's MeTV Movie this Saturday: Invaders from Mars (1953). It was remade in 1986 by Tobe Hooper, but this is the original which I am pretty sure I've never actually seen. The remake was bizarre and entertaining enough to make me want to check it out.

Since TV Guide is dead and I'm a fan of the idea of this kind of thing, I'd say you should consider watching. Be the weird middle-aged guy you were destined to be. Last weekend was Bela Lugosi in Return of the Vampire, which I am watching a little bit each night before bed. It's a serial number-filed-off sequel to Dracula from Columbia (not Univeral.)

Nintendo World Championships: Week 52

Nintendo SwitchFightVia Nintendo: Competition #52 is on now in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. I'm guessing they're never posting the weekly challenges to the web again, so here's what I played yesterday.

This week:
Key of the Keese (The Legend of Zelda) - in which you go batty.

Sub-Space Exploration (Super Mario Bros. 2) - in which you go there.

Hit the Bricks (Super Mario Bros.) - in which you hit bricks.

Unidentified Flying Kirby (Kirby's Adventure) - in which the government denies you exist.

Kong Crusher (Donkey Kong) - in which you make out in front of an ape.

It wasn't that hard to get the trophies, but hey, it's fun to zip through these. I honestly can't tell you the last time I bought a game that I was still playing a year later, even if it's just for a 20-30-minute challenge check-in. I got my money's worth here. (Related, also pulled Final Fantasy i & II: Dawn of Souls out again.)

Classic Review: Hasbro Jurassic World Stegoceratops Action Figure

Figure of the DayHasbro Jurassic World Stegoceratops Action FigureSomething 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! The Hasbro Jurassic World Stegoceratops Action Figure came out in 2015 for a mere $11, and the endless IP recycling machine somehow makes this timely. There aren't nearly as many exclusive dinosaurs out for this weekend's new Jurassic World Rebirth, certainly not at Walmart, but Target has a few. And while there are hybrids, they're not quite as zany as what Hasbro was doing at the end of its line. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Wars Review: Joruus C'baoth (The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Joruus C'baoth (The Vintage Collection). It's not Alan Moore, but it could be. It's a mad Jedi clone from a 1991 book, finally arriving to fulfill a name that's been on a lot of wish lists since the original Bush administration. Sadly, the set quickly sold out, but hopefully there will be demand for him to come back. Read the whole review.

It's Better But The Old One Is Good

Review: Mattel Jurassic World Rebirth Frenzy Pack Torvoneustes Action Figure

Figure of the DayMattel Jurassic World Rebirth Frenzy Pack Torvoneustes Action 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!

New! The Mattel Jurassic World Rebirth Frenzy Pack Torvoneustes Action Figure pretty new and currently easily had - go to a couple of Targets or Walmarts, you'll probably find one today. It's pretty amazing when you put it in historical context. 40 years ago, the only dinosaur toys you were likely to find were unarticulated, unpainted (or barely painted), and probably were a tiny bit cheaper than this. There were some fancy "models" with no paint too, so it's kind of amazing to get a painted, articulated dinosaur toy for under $10 in 2025. Even if you don't go to the movies this weekend, go to the store (or our ad links) and take a look at these guys. They're really nice. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Also notable, the Jurassic World micro adventures mini head playsets may already be on clearance at your local Target. Called it. (It's not a bad idea, it's just the same thing tanked when Hasbro did them 10 years ago for The Force Awakens.)
