Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: Padme Amidala (The Vintage Collection). This figure shows Hasbro's utter mastery of replicating characters from the 21st century with a head sculpt that's unmatched, with facial printing that's top-notch, and a very nice plastic wig to top it all off. Articulation is superb, and it's a lot better than the most recent 3 3/4-inch releases... and those were also amazing. If you're happy with what you have, don't look at one in person, because you'll be impressed and buy it. Read the whole review.

Our exciting Figure of the Day continues and my hopes is it will encourage you to kick in $1 a month to the Patreon which funds hosting for 16bit.com and Galactic Hunter! My goal? $100 a month, which means I don't even get $3 per day to host this thing and pay to fix broken hardware. So how about a buck, Mac?

Via the Star Wars Galactic Hunter Figure of the Day Blog: The Stranger (Qimir, The Vintage Collection). Sure he's $20, but the hair looks great, he has decent accessories, and there are a bunch of unusual figure parts we probably won't see used ever again. Also this is easily the best character design from The Acolyte, so help yourself to one. Read the whole review.

Via Analogue: Analogue 3D Prototype Limited Edition Consoles. Based on unreleased color concepts from the 1990s, the Ocean, Atomic Purple, Extreme Green, Ghost, and Glacier FPGA-based consoles didn't sell out. I wasn't going to post here because these things usually last less than ten minutes, but it's possible that the $30 upcharge turned people off.

Via Bandcamp: ZUZAX! 2 of the 3 vinyl versions sold out of the new record already, so I got Void Vert. It's due in March, and I'm surprised black sold out. More importantly, Hubba Bubba, Bug on Yonkers, Bunker Funk, and Cold Hot Plumbs are on sale for $5 CD/$10 LP. I paid more. They're good.

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: Anakin Skywalker (Jedi Spirits, The Vintage Collection). This figure proves two heads are better than one, with a theatrical release/VHS-era head and a digital-era head. It's a good figure, with some parts from an existing Anakin figure as well as new ones. And also you can rip the figure's chest out with the head attached, so that's neat. Read the whole review.
