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!

Ad: New to pre-order, Star Wars The Black Series Baylan Skoll Force FX Elite Electronic Lightsaber and the Star Wars The Vintage Collection IG-12, Grogu & Anzellan Deluxe 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures!

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jod Na Nawood (The Vintage Collection). In a wave of repaints and a couple of retools, this is the sole all-new guy - we haven't seen the show yet, but we do know it's Jude Law in some sort of quasi-pirate getup. It looks neat. The show comes out next month, where we'll find out if he raided Hondo's closet, or is a robot like in A.I., or is just a boring old Jedi. Read the whole review.

Via @goodboygalaxy.com on Bluesky: "Unfortunately we have terminated our contract with First Press games. They no longer have a license to sell our game, Goodboy Galaxy", and... there's more to read there. In short, Kickstarter supporters paid for shipping and need to ask for a refund. Also, there's no specific word on when or how the cartridge(s) you supported will actually arrive, but the developers do say they're working on it.

Via Nintendo: Competition #19 is on now in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. More Mario, some Balloons, Metroid, and Zelda are up.

Galactic Hunter has posted Q&A: Star Wars Pricing Concerns, Competition, and Inflationr. It's new! Be sure to click through and read up on the latest!

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: Axe Woves (Amazon Exclusive 3-Pack, Epic Hero Series). This Amazon exclusive comes in a 3-pack with Paz Vizsla and an unnamed Mandalorian Warrior figure. Axe Woves is also made of retooled Boba Fett parts - hence why he's a little bulkier - but is still a decent looking toy figure. Read the whole review.

Via Kickstarter: Former Dawn | Grand Sci-Fi RPG for NES & PC. I wrote about this before, but it seems the people behind it aren't yet sure if it will run on the RetroUSB AVS or Analogue Nt consoles - which could be a real issue. Supposedly it's going to be guaranteed to work on an EverDrive, but for those of us with fancy clone consoles already, another purchase may not be desirable if the cartridge won't run. They promise a blog post with more details, but as it's an expensive game that's a couple of years off, you may want to wait for more information.

Via TheScrobinsStore on Etsy: NES Homebrew Calendar 2025. I've bought these most years and they're cool - $25 gets you a sneak peek at NES games that, I assume, will be out some day. In a world with no Nintendo Power magazine, it's a nice throwback.

Via Target: Masters of the Universe x Turtles of Grayskull 2-Bopsteady Action Figure. The last exclusive in the build-a-Metal-Boto line is $24.99 and possibly in a store on a peg near you, provided Splinter-Skull still isn't in the way. This set includes some accessories and feet for the build-a-turtle, as well as a Two-Bad inspired mutant mashup of Bebop and Rocksteady. I haven't gone out looking yet but it seems several Target stores around town have it in stock now.

Ad: Coming soon, the Star Wars Epic Hero Series Speederbikes Wave 1 Set of 2! These vehicles go with your 4-inch figures, and have jointed knees and elbows - and the vehicles have wheels! They look like they're going to be a lot of fun.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Ahsoka Tano (Ahsoka/Jedi Robes, The Retro Collection). She has a new hat! And also, improved hands that better grip her lightsaber - if you see her, she's arguably worth the upgrade even though the figure sculpt and deco are more or less otherwise unchanged. Read the whole review.

Via me on Bluesky: I stopped in a Dollar Tree over lunch and they had SEVERAL of each of these two Indiana Jones Matchbox vehicles for $1.25 a pop. It's the first I've seen them - they really stand out in the sea of orange, you can't miss 'em.. I saw close to six of each, and at $1.25 they're basically priced the same as they are anywhere else. If you haven't seen them, they're worth a look. There are also some Indiana Jones planes, but I haven't spotted those yet.

Via an eBay seller: Hot Wheels Racer Verse Looney Tunes MARVIN MARTIAN & BUGS BUNNY 2 Pack Cars Set. I haven't een these before - a single carded Bugs Bunny is out now, but this is the first I saw of the 2-pack with Marvin. It'll probably be in Walmart in a month or three for $12, but you can get a look over on eBay now.

Via License Global: Firefly Brand Management Announces Master Toy Deal for KB Toys Brand. The mark does include stores, but also paper goods, apparel, convention events, and other things that are not mall-based toy stores. Will it turn into anything? Marc and Marianna Heon, co-owners of MH Enterprises, seem to think so. Toys R Us is experiencing a very small revival right now, and the previous people involved with KB - interestingly, not Kay-Bee - failed to bring anything to market.

Via Mattel Creations: MEGA G.I. JOE Skystriker vs. COBRA H.I.S.S. Building Set. $81 gets you two vehicles and four figures, with a Hasbro brand being made by Mattel. We've seen it before with Transformers in Hot Wheels, but it's still kind of odd - and it goes up for sale on Friday at 9:00 AM Pacific.
