Galactic Hunter has posted Q&A: Star Wars Toy Hunting Is (Not) Dead and Filler. It's new! Be sure to click through and read up on the latest!

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!

Via HasLab: Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition) [Base Model] (and the pricey variant) have both fully funded. You have until midnightish tonight to get yours if you want one - the base model is $324.99, but the version with a whopping four extra figures, stickers, and bonus gear is $399.99.

Via 8BitDo/Amazon/yes these are sponsored links if you buy something I may get a cut: Pre-orders are opened for officially licensed 8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboards and a 8BitDo Retro R8 Mouse. Given the original Xbox was black with clear green, I suppose it may evoke a sense of that era but doesn't seem like a literal license-able swiping of any specific style. Still, it's pretty good, and if nothing else, worth a look. I'm wondering how that mouse goes, I like the thumb buttons. They aren't cheap, but if you need something vaguely Master Chiefy, it's worth a look.

Via Keshi Corner on Twitter: I've 3D scanned two very rare vintage Metroid figures from 1986! You can grab the model files here: Ridley and Samus Aran. These have been linked before, but that video was really cool and you need an excuse to see them again. The Keshi Corner Stacks on Archive.org are a shining example of how to show off your toy collection and make something helpful for the rest of us - so if you have toys to scan, let the rest of us know!

Via Walmart: The de-facto online exclusive Transformers Legacy United Star Raider Action Figure Collection, 7" Converting Robot Toys, Christmas Gifts for Kids, 8+. This item went up for $59.97, then shot up to $90 for a few months , was $45 a month ago and now it's a dirt-cheap $29.97. I got one at $45 and it was pretty good, for $30 it's great - you get three dudes.

Ad: New items are up to order, including the now-in-stock Masters of the Universe New Eternia Masterverse Skelcon Action Figure!

Ad: In stock now - unless it runs out again - it's the Star Wars The Retro Collection 3 3/4-Inch Action Figures Set of 6! Get yours today for $29.99, which is peanuts for six amazing figures from 46 years ago.

Via Nintendo: Competition #21 is on now in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. All killer, no filler this week.

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: X-Wing Pilot (Human Woman, The Vintage Collection) . If you wondered if slapping a new human head of nobody in particular on a Luke body works, it turns out that it does! Hasbro did a nice job making a decent human head, but it's not of any specific performer (as far as I know) and could well be a Hasbro or Lucasfilm employee. But it's a new pilot, and that's what you probably want here. Read the whole review.

Via eBay: 3D DIY Upgrade Kit G2 Backpack Weapon For Legacy United G1 OP Prime Earthrise OP. I haven't yet bought this and can't vouch for the seller or the item, but it was interesting - the guy made a "talk box" and a couple of blasters similar to the 1990s Generation 2 Optimus Prime toy for your 2024 Transformers Legacy United G1 Universe Optimus Prime... which is an excellent toy and one of my favorites this year.
