Star Wars Review: Jawa (Mos Eisley, The Vintage Collection)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Jawa (Mos Eisley, The Vintage Collection). It's a nice Jawa, but it's made from parts dating back up to 10 years. Some parts come from a 3 3/4-inch 2-pack of Jawas from The Black Series, but mostly he shares elements with the Offworld Jawa and Teeka. This new one comes with a playset! It's still a nice Jawa, but you might have a very similar figure or three in your clan already. Read the whole review.

Also of great importance, Hasbro announced they re-upped their licenses for Marvel and Star Wars toys. But for how long?

Review: Mattel Turtles of Grayskull Masters of the Universe x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beast Man Action Figure

Figure of the DayMattel Turtles of Grayskull Masters of the Universe x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beast Man Action Figures ReAction FigureSomething 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!

Not too old but gone from most stores! The Mattel Turtles of Grayskull Masters of the Universe x Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Beast Man Action Figure looks like a basic Beast Man with some added armor, a different whip, and both hands able to grip. It's neat! It's not essential, but at least it's fun and looks like a decent riff on the original toy. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

RIP Transformers Box Artist David Schleinkofer

TransformersArt Via Down the Tubes.net and many sites: In Memoriam: SF and Fine Artist David Schleinkofer. He's done a lot of art, but he is the probably not known to you man behind probably the most famous piece of 1984 Transformers box art.

But he's done a lot more, and I'm sad I didn't know his name until today. Check out his Flickr page for some of his other sci-fi pieces. It's incredible stuff.

He died April 20, 2025.

Star Wars Review: Dark Trooper (Epic World of Action)

Star WarsVia the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Dark Trooper (Epic World of Action). I haven't seen it in a store myself yet, but if you do? You should get one. It's big, it's sturdy, it's cheap, and the paint on the figure is very good. I am not crazy about both the blaster and blast effect being clear red, but it's still pretty excellent. Read the whole review.

Review: Mattel Hot Wheels Street Wiener

Figure of the DayMattel Hot Wheels Street WienerSomething 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!

Who's ready for lunch? The Mattel Hot Wheels Street Wiener was a car design that has been around for a few years, in many similar-but-different colorways. This one has a base that looks sort of like a paper tray, with wheels that look sort of like toppings, and I assume zero dollars needing to be paid to the Wienermobile people. It's really neat, and new versions of it are still shipping cheaply at a store near you. Read on, and come back tomorrow for more fun!

Review: Hasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Animated Universe Motormaster Action Figure

Figure of the DayHasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Animated Universe Motormaster Action FigureSomething 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! Hasbro Transformers Legacy Evolution Voyager Animated Universe Motormaster Action Figure came out last year, and is another in an ongoing series of toys that are lower-price updates (or substitutes) of old BotCon exclusives. I sure don't miss BotCon price points - $35 for this boxy-headed fellow felt plenty fair. Read on!

Nintendo World Championships: Week 41

Nintendo SwitchFightVia Nintendo: Competition #38 is on now in Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. It was a little challenging.

This week:
Mushzoom 3 (Super Mario Bros. 3) - in which you do mushrooms.

Seek & Destroy (Kid Icarus) - in which you snake, rattle, and roll.

Fireball Rush (Kirby's Adventure) - in which you fly.

Bonus or Bust (Ice Climber) - in which you jump up into the ice.

Divemaster (Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels) - in which you sink and/or swim.

I had no problem getting the silver trophy, but that gold is challenging so far.

Classic Review: Funko Hikari Vinyl Ghostbusters Pink Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Figure of the DayFunko Hikari Vinyl Ghostbusters Pink Stay Puft Marshmallow ManSomething 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! The Funko Hikari Vinyl Ghostbusters Pink Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was a clear glitter figure, exclusive to Entertainment Earth, and painted like it was being burned. I liked these guys a bunch - the whole line was a little expensive for Funko fans, and they more or less ignored it. It's a shame, the colorways are really cool and I bet would have done well as $10-$20 standard 4-inch guys. Do read on, and come back tomorrow for a new one!
