Star Wars Review: Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor, The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Moff Gideon (Dark Trooper Armor, The Vintage Collection). It's not the same as the other releases, but the coloring makes it look familiar. It's a decent figure, but one without an unmasked head. If you can find it, give it a look.

Still available! The Healey Made X-Raider Action Figure is a fantastic little figure that mashes up inspirations from the greatest 3 3/4-inch action figure lines of the 1970s and 1980s... and a little more. It's Glyos-compatible, it's clear, and it's pretty gorgeous. You should get one. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Star Wars Review: Alexsandr Kallus (The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Alexsandr Kallus (The Vintage Collection). Good luck trying to spell the first name right, it was easier when the boxes said "Agent." This ISB stooge has a lot of great detail and articulation, and it shows what a difference a few years makes. Nobody wanted Kallus when Rebels first started, and now? People want more Kallus. Hopefully they'll follow-up with a figure based on his Rebel look later from the series some day. Read the whole review.

Pink! The Mattel Hot Wheels Kei Swap is the recolor, and feels like it came out of Saved by the Bell's opening credits. Obviously, I had to buy one to give it a look. It's a nice little van. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Via Kinder via Phil: DISCOVER THE [Kinder Surprise] DC PLAYMOBIL TOY RANGE! As far as I know these are only in the UK - they're supposedly not full-size, but they're the first Batman, Superman, Harley Quinn, and related figures in Playmobil style. I don't know if they're in the US yet, but you can get sets of them on eBay if you don't want to deal with hunting blind boxes for the line. I'm not sure why this exists, unless it's to set the stage for promoting a future full-size range... or a full-size range fell through and this is all we're going to get.
I read these are out in the U.K., and also McDonalds UK has Playmobil Animals in the Happy Meals. America's getting BTS. The UK has a sloth, panda, eagle, sea turtle, peacock... obviously I'm jealous. I'm pretty sure we haven't had Playmobil in US Happy Meals since the early 1980s. Checking eBay, another set of animals were sold in Canada last year. Animobil has the details. 14 were sold worldwide and I don't think any of them came out here.
According to Tiermann, the 2024 McAnimals are not made from Playmobil factories. Some are Playmobil sized, some are bigger, but they're not the exact same as the regular ones.

Star Trek's first story podcast is up: Star Trek: Khan. A new episode goes up every week, and while you probably have plenty of podcasts already it's not like we get a lot of audio dramas.
Classic Review: Gentle Giant 1:6 Scale Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord
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 2014, Gentle Giant 1:6 Scale Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord is a piece that came out during that short window where it seemed there might be a market for comic, rather than movie, stuff. It's really well done! It's just not the movie thing. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

We have had an orange BB-8, but this is the first R2 unit in orange - and it's a good one. Metallic orange paint over orange plastic makes panels pop, with green and black elements around a few gold bits. It's a really decent droid.
