Star Wars Review: Hammerhead (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Hammerhead (Cantina Adventure Set - The Vintage Collection). I got mine from Hasbro Pulse, where it has been in and out (and now out) of stock. It's this year's deluxe figure minus a hand and a couple of accessories, shaping up to be an excellent deal as part of the big box set with three other dudes and a backdrop. You should get it if you can find it. Read the whole review.
Review: Mattel Hot Wheels '57 Chevy (Artistic License Series 1998)
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!
Old! The Mattel Hot Wheels '57 Chevy (Artistic License Series 1998) was at an antique mall with classic comic-style art, big dots, and a massive quote balloon. How could I skip it? It's worthless and neat, and about 27 years old - yet feels as fresh as the day it came out. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Review: Takara-Tomy Transformers Missing Link Arcee (Prototype Colors) Action Figure
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!
Newish! One of many highlights from 2025, September's delivery of the Takara-Tomy Transformers Missing Link Arcee (Prototype Colors) Action Figure was only 39 years late. The orange and pink prototype model was kicking around Takara in the 1980s, and there weren't any Arcee toys until the 1990s - and that was a spider! This figure fills a cap in the original toy shelf, so old-school fans might want this one (or the pink and white one) to go with Springer and Hot Rod. It has metal parts, the transformation is smooth and fun (minus the robot knees), and I love the car mode. I'd recommend getting one of these if you're a 1980s kid that wants something "new" for your G1 collection. Read on!
Classic Review: Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Blade
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, Mattel Masters of the Universe Classics Blade wasn't everybody's favorite bad guy, but he turned out amazingly well. With loads of sculpted detail and three accessories, you got your $27 worth - but shipping always stung a bit back then. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!

Star Wars Review: Anakin Skywalker (Epic World of Action)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Anakin Skywalker (Epic World of Action). It's new! I have yet to see him in any store, but online sellers have had him off and on since August. The figure's render on the packaging is superb - you can see where things went a little sideways with a head that doesn't quite look the same plus an armor piece around his neck that feels a little too thick.

Review: Onell Design Glyos Infinite Pheyden Standard
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!
New and Sold Out! The Onell Design Glyos Infinite Pheyden Standard is one of shockingly few figures Onell Design sold out of and immediately opened for a second run - which closed before the first run shipped out the door. I've been messing with these guys and I would say the review is a little undercooked this time because I keep trying new things with it and finding out which parts can swap in well from other figures. You'll see more of that in the alternate deco figure reviews in the coming weeks too. It's a very good indie figure and the kind of thing I wish I could walk into the store and buy. It doesn't break a lot of new ground, it doesn't transform the world of toys, but if you like this sort of thing? You'll be mad you missed it. It's a lot of fun. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Star Wars Review: Snowtrooper Commander (The Vintage Collection)
Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Snowtrooper Commander (The Vintage Collection). This is the 3-pack guy - the single carded figure (and trooper pack) are the grunts, so this one has different shoulders and knees and a different helmet too. Read the whole review.
Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Racer Verse Wonder Woman & Batman
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!
Old! The Mattel Hot Wheels Racer Verse Wonder Woman & Batman is part of a line collectors seem to be ignoring but one I feel has a lot of promise. Mario Kart-esque cars with figures are widely available across multiple licenses, but pegwarmers that may not appeal to little boys pile up and not everything is a hit. This is a hit - and somehow it was at Ross for $2.99, so I got it. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!
Over the weekend, Hasbro posted the fourteenth episode of Transformers Cyberworld on YouTube. But I missed it, so here it is now.
"Shoot n Loot" does not introduce new faces but it really does lean on the team-based shooter motif. It might not be as fun as the other episodes but what else are you going to watch on a bathroom break?
Review: Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader The Thirteen Onyx Prime
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!
Newish! The big brown Hasbro Transformers Age of the Primes Leader The Thirteen Onyx Prime doesn't match the colorful IDW comics version, but it still looks pretty neat with wings and beaks and hooves and a centaur mode. It's a deceptively simple toy, but it's fun to fuss with and has a big spear. Read on!
