A 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.

Via Mattel Creations: Masters of the Universe Nightstalker Set for June 18. The price is unknown, but it's a redeco of Stridor - who may be at a Ross near you for $5.99, or a Walmart clearance aisle at or under $20.

Via Trek Core: STAR TREK: PRODIGY Season 2 Beams to Netflix on July 1. We don't know if it's one episode or the full dump of 20, but at least we'll only have a month without any Trek to watch.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jango Fett (Deluxe, The Vintage Collection). It may not be configured to match either of his specific looks in the movie, but all of the parts look good. The helmet is lacking his post-Kamino dent, but you do get the second jet pack - and a lot of nice articulation and painted detail. It is very nice, but given you likely have cheaper figures that are truer to the scene, you'll have to weigh "better proportions and slightly better articulation" against "already have something like it in your closet."

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Cad Bane (The Retro Collection). Based on his appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, this Kenner-style figure isn't quite as Kenner-y as some others - he more or less fits in, but lacks the detail and distinctive body language of the old guys. But it's a $12 Cad Bane, and he can stand and sit, and has a swell hat. Also he's one of the few figures where a vinyl cape might have been good to serve as a coat - but in this case, the coat is molded to the figure so it doesn't get in the way of him sitting in your old vehicles.

Via Rik: An update. In short: if you're waiting for a cartridge, so is everybody else - First Press Games hasn't delivered the cartridges yet, and lawyers are now involved. The game itself is a lot of fun - I wanted to wait for the cartridge but instead I played the ROM - but I assume I'm not going to see the physical game any time soon. Something to consider if you are looking to do any retro crowdfunding, it certainly put cold water on my wanting to support something and wait a year (or more.)

Ad: Pre-order Ghostbusters Plasma Pack O-Ring 40th Anniversary 3 3-4-Inch Action Figures! It's expected early next year, and is a pretty good deal for four figures.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: R3-RNBW (Pride Collection). It's Pride season, and this is probably the most colorful droid we've ever been offered - there are a ton of individual paint applications and some extra gray squares I may not be hip enough to identify. Regardless, it looks cool - this little robot has colorful boxes, vents, and outlines all over and really stands out in a sub-category known for being pretty colorful. Should you get one? Well I would. Read the whole review.

Via TVLine: Power Rangers Series No Longer Moving Forward at Netflix Ñ Hasbro to Redevelop With New Partner. That pretty much says it all - whatever it's going to be, we don't really know much about it yet.

Ad: Pre-order the new production of Star Wars: The Black Series Osha, Cal Kestis, Plo Koon, and The Acolyte The Retro Collection figures! New stuff, reruns, and more ThunderCats are on deck.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (Epic Hero Series). You can probably find him in a store now, and he's pretty good - he has a backpack for Grogu, and a lightsaber, and looks just like a decent toy. Get it if you have a few bucks. Read the whole review.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hot Wheels Han Solo (Twinduction). It's Wheels Week, so let's go through my stash of cars and see what was sitting around - this one is not the best, but it has some nice graphics on the card and on the side of the car itself.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hot Wheels Princess Leia (RacerVerse Blockade Runner Tantive IV). It's Wheels Week, and this is the reason why - I saw her in a store and said "wait, what else have I missed?" It's basically a 1980s McDonald's Happy Meal toy, but with the quality of a Hot Wheels car, and also it's a ship you don't see as a toy very much. It's a winner. Read the whole review.

Via Mattel Creations (thanks Phil): Hot Wheels RacerVerse Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Vehicles. For $20 you get one toy and the other is a chase. Which I thought counted as an interstate lottery at one point, but I guess that's life.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Millennium Falcon (Hot Wheels Carships). I picked this one up at 99 Cents Only stores (RIP) a few years ago and opened it a couple of months ago. It's pretty nifty - basically they slapped a racing stripe on the Falcon and slapped a metal ship on a plastic sled with wheels. It's pretty good - if you have a launcher, it'll go pretty far with a slight nudge. It's also one of the faster cars I've got when I tried it in a downhill race, but wasn't fast enough to beat the Slave I Carships toy I got. Read the whole review.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Luke Skywalker (RacerVerse). I really like this one too - I've been seeing him at Target if you want to go see one in person, and he's worth the six bucks. Sure, there isn't a full X worth of wings, but it's a charming little toy and the kind of thing that's fun to scoot around on your desk. It's more of an actual toy than a toy-shaped collectible, so if you have kids or tracks or race little cars, absolutely go get one of these. And if you're sick of car that's OK, we have one more Friday and that's it. Read the whole review.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Bespin (Silhouette II).This one is gorgeous - Mattel made a bunch of cars with little designs on them not unlike the old Burger King glasses, and this one comes from a set fo planet-themed cars. This one uses the Silhouette II car, which looks kind of like a single version of the Twin-Pod Cloud Car, and is based on one of the very first Hot Wheels cars. Also the design is beautiful.

Via Kickstarter and Broke Studio: Steel Legion - A new Metroidvania for the NES. The cartridge is a little over US $54. Unlike a lot of these, the game is supposedly already done and it has an estimated October delivery.

Via Retro-Bit: Kaizou Choujin Schbibinman Zero - Shockman Zero for SNES. It's a hard-to-find Japanese game getting an English translation and US release for about $59.99. Given that's what a Super NES game cost (not adjusted for inflation) about 27 years ago, that's actually not too shabby. It is expected to s hip later this year, and pre-orders are live right now.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: RG-G1 (The Vintage Collection). You can still get it in a set from Amazon, and it's pretty great - they even gave him a new mold for the dome in addition to very distinctive deco. I like it. Read the whole review.

Via Hasbro and IGN: Hasbro Reveals Exclusive Star Wars, Transformers, G.I. Joe & Marvel Figures for Comic-Con 2024. It's a lot of new versions of existing characters - some exciting, like Death's Head (pictured) or a movie-inspired Cobra Commander, might inspire fans to line up. Also there are new versions o Darth Maul, Orion Pax, and Megatron which may feel a little less necessary when compared to other recent releases.

Via YouLoveIt: Zuru Max Retro capsule collection. There's a brick capsule collection with a Pac-Man arcade cabinet, a classic Apple Macintosh, a Polaroid camera, a boom box, a red telephone, and an old-style TV. I have no idea if any of these things are actually licensed or "close enough," but I assume they're worthy of a glance regardless.
