| Obi-Wan Kenobi Action Figure Unboxing |
Does anything remain to be said about this character? I doubt it.
 |
| Obi-Wan Kenobi - Author's Collection |
The action figure is described as the "wandering Jedi." The figure comes with an (uncivilized) blaster and a blue light saber. I got it very cheap (less than $10) on Amazon.com.

| Chewbacca |
I don't have a 3.75 scale version of Chewbacca, but I remember that my brother had one when we were young. I'm still shopping around for one. We called him "Chewie." Every time we played, my brother pretended to be Chewbacca. He also liked to pretend that he was Ookla from Thundarr the Barbarian. Chewbacca was a mysterious character to us. We didn't learn anything about his backstory until the new movies were released, years after the original trilogy.
The picture shows an odd version of Chewbacca. It cost about $14 at Walmart. I got it this past Saturday. Their web page states, in part, about this product:
"MixMashers Star Wars Chewbacca Toy, 5” (12 cm) Mix-&-Match Action Figure, 4+. Kids can pull apart, mix, and mash Star Wars toys to create customized figures. Millions of ways to mix interchangeable parts encourage hours of imaginative play. Comes with a Boba Fett flame thrower gauntlet, bandolier, and E-11 blaster accessories. 5-inch-scale figures with 16 connection points for compatibility across the entire line."

| The Emperor Action Figure Unboxing |
I got this from Amazon for my birthday a few months ago. The package states that this is from the Star Wars Retro Collection, The Emperor, Return of The Jedi.
 |
| The Emperor |
One Wiki states: Scheming, powerful, and evil to the core, Emperor Palpatine restored the Sith and destroyed the Jedi Order. The Emperor's real name was Sheev Palpatine. As the lord of the Sith, he was known as Darth Sidious. He ruled the Galactic Empire, along with his enforcer, Darth Vader.

| R2-D2 - Author's Collection |
R2-D2 (male droid) or Artoo-Detoo is probably the most well-known astromech droid in the Star Wars franchise. He appears in all of the theatrical releases except for Solo: A Star Wars Story. While many persons and actors are associated in some way with the droid, the "GOAT" individual associated with him is the late actor Kenny Baker.
 |
| Kuiil - Author's Collection |
Kuiil was an Ugnaught (male) who had worked to secure his freedom. He appeared in Star Wars: The Mandalorian as a friend of Din Djarin. He lost his life in the same series. I got this figure as a present for Father's Day (2025).

| Loth-cat - Author's Collection |
 |
| Loth-cat - Author's Collection |
Loth cats are cat-like creatures with some avian characteristics. They come from the planet Lothal. Unfortunately, I accidentally ruined the box while removing the figure. It's from The Bounty Collection, series 7.
 |
| AT-TE - Author's Collection |
This is one of the first things that I bought when I started collecting Star Wars merchandise. If I'm not mistaken, one of these walkers can be seen just before Jedi Aayla Secura was killed by her clones during Order 66.
The All-Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE), nicknamed "six legs" by the Separatist Droid Army, was a multipurpose military ground walker and tank used by the Galactic Republic during the Clone Wars. It had six legs, six laser cannon turrets along the body and a heavy projectile mass-driver cannon on the top of the walker. It was one of the main ground vehicles for the Grand Army of the Republic throughout the Clone Wars. Source: Star Wars Fandom.
The set has some miniature action figures with it. It has Captain Rex, Clone Pilots, and Clone Troopers.

| Balutar Swoop and Death Watch Mandalorian Unboxing |
This is a Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Vehicle and Figure, specifically a Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Box Series 5 - Balutar Swoop and Death Watch Mandalorian. It's a "blind box," meaning you don't know what it is until you open it. It features a Balutar Swoop and a Death Watch Mandalorian. I currently have six of these mystery boxes. Unfortunately, some were the same - and that's why I don't like blind mystery boxes.

| Flitknot Bike and Geonosian Warrior |
This is a Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Vehicle and Figure, Series 5. It's a "blind box," meaning you don't know what it is until you open it. It features a Flitknot speeder bike and a Geonosian warrior. I bought six of these mystery boxes. Unfortunately, some were the same - and that's why I don't like blind mystery boxes.
 |
| Lando Calrissian - Author's Collection |
I probably don't need to say much about Lando Calrissian. Billy Dee Williams portrayed the character in most (but not all) of the Star Wars media. I never did like his weirdo smile - it seemed and seems creepy. This action figure is similar to but not the same as the one I had when I was a kiddo. I found the action figure at Walmart on March 20. It was on sale for 6 dollars, so I had to grab it, even though it really wasn't on my "must buy" list.
 |
| Boba Fett Unboxing |
I have previously written about Boba Fett during another action figure review. I got this Boba Fett action figure from Amazon. It was cheaper than the one I found on the shelf at Walmart, even with the shipping price.
 |
| Boba Fett - Author's Collection |
From the cardback:
"With his customized Mandalorian armor and silent demeanor, Boba Fett was one of the most feared hunters in the Star Wars galaxy."
This action figure comes with a flamethrower, a jet pack and missile, and also a blaster rifle.
 |
| Author's Collection |
I found K-2SO on sale at a Walmart about 2 hours from my house, after I had visited the VA clinic. The action figure cost only six dollars. I had to have it, as I had been wanting this particular figure.
From the cardback:
"A reprogrammed Imperial security droid, K-2SO is an effective insertion agent, as he can blend in perfectly at Imperial installations and outposts."
K-2SO appeared in the movie Rogue One. Actor Alan Tudyk portrayed K-2SO. I've enjoyed most of his work, especially A Knight's Tale and Firefly.
K-2SO was also the comic relief in the movie. He's funny. K-2SO gave his "life" to protect those he served.

| Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Box |
This post shows the unboxing of a "Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Vehicle & Figure."
This set is from series 5. The Micro Galaxy Squadron Mystery Vehicle & Figure set is a "blind box," meaning you don't know what it is until you open it. This one features a Flitknot speeder bike and a Geonosian warrior. I bought six of these mystery boxes. Unfortunately, some were the same - and that's why I don't like blind mystery boxes. I repackaged the set and will display it in the box. I never open anything in my collection. I only opened these because I had no choice.

| Bo-Katan Kryze - Author's Collection |
The Bo-Katan Kryze cardback has no information on this Mandalorian character. Wikipedia, however, has this to say:
"She was introduced in the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, in which she was voiced by Katee Sackhoff. Sackhoff subsequently reprised her role in the sequel series Star Wars Rebels, and made her live-action debut as the character in the second season of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian."
Bo-Katan Kryze article on Star Wars Fandom.
I may update this page with a different picture. The one I posted looks blurry.

| Han Solo Unboxing - Author's Picture |
 |
| Han Solo - Author's Collection |
Han Solo is one of the Star Wars franchise's most well-known figures. He's been presented as a smuggler, an imperial soldier, and something of a scoundrel. He is now regarded as a hero and, I think, a general in the resistance.
Chewbacca the Wookie is Han's equally well known companion. Han and Princess Leia later had a son, Ben Solo, who became Kylo Ren. I don't think I need to say much more about this character. In the picture, he is wearing Endor (the planet) dress.

| February Unboxing - NED-B |
 |
| NED-B Action Figure - Author's Collection |
This unboxing took place on February 17, 2025. NED-B was a droid (humanoid I suppose) who made his first and evidently last appearance in the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series. He was not capable of speech. He was called a "loader."
I had assumed immediately that NED-B was the droid equivalent of something like what we'd call a forklift. A bit of research confirmed that fact. I have several thoughts about NED-B. Firstly, he was protective and loyal. Second, he's intimidating and a bit scary. Who'd want to try to fight NED-B? Unarmed, it would be a losing proposition. The action figure doesn't have a blaster, but he does come with a hammer.
 |
| The Armorer - Author's Collection |
The cardback doesn't really say anything about The Armorer. Here is what it says:
"The Star Wars retro collection is inspired by 1970s Star Wars figures and features original figure design and detailing! Continue your collection from the galaxy far, far away!"
The Armorer is a female Mandalorian tribe leader - the same tribe to which the titular "Mandalorian" belongs in the Disney+ television series, The Mandalorian. The action figure shown depicts her with her armorer tools - a hammer and a blacksmith's pliers.
 |
| Ahsoka Tano - Author's Collection |
From the cardback:
"Once a Jedi Knight, Ahsoka Tano now forges her own path in the galaxy."
Ahsoka was the 14-year-old padawan (apprentice) of Anakin Skywalker. She is of the Togruta species, and she has both of her signature lightsabers in the picture. She was first seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In the live-action series, Ahsoka, she is portrayed by Rosario Dawson.
 |
| Zuckuss - Author's Collection |
As noted in an earlier post, the Kenner toy company transposed the names of Zuckuss and 4-LOM on their toy packages. The picture above is named "4-LOM," but this is incorrect. The figure's real name is Zuckuss. The retro pack features the wrong names on purpose, copying the original mistake.
Zuckuss is an unusual non-human character. He speaks in the third person. He is of the Gand species. He is a bounty hunter, and his first appearance was in The Empire Strikes Back. He was one of six bounty hunters summoned by Darth Vader to hunt and find the Millennium Falcon.
 |
| Luke Skywalker - Author's Collection |
From the cardback:
"Luke Skywalker rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known."
"This Star Wars set also comes with a backpack and a green Lightsaber accessory that easily fits in the Luke Skywalker figure's hands" (Amazon description)
"What will you store in Luke's backpack accessory? Perhaps a Star Wars Epic Hero Series Grogu figure, specifically designed to fit inside. (Sold separately)" (Amazon description)
This is a fairly accurate depiction of Luke, and it's definitely after he lost his hand. It even looks like a young Mark Hamill. He has what I think of as his signature green lightsaber. The black outfit is a nice touch.
