Star Wars Galactic Heroes Figures By dsnygrl on Jan 06, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

These little guys are so cute that I am kicking myself for not getting more of them when I had the chance.

We were shopping in Target the other day and I was drawn like a moth to the light by the huge 75% off signs in the Christmas section. So what's a mom to do but to drag her 7 year old kicking and screaming over here to see what we can find. The first thing my son spotted was the Star Wars Galactic Heroes stocking stuffer set. They were cute in the package and rang up for the 75% off so for a little piece and quiet, I told him he could get a set. There are 4 sets all together and each set has 3 different action figures in them. The set he chose includes Obi-Wan Kanobi, who was holding a stack of wrapped Christmas presents, Anakin Skywalker who was holding a giant candy cane and a Shock Trooper who was holding a set of Christmas lights. When we got home he took them out of the package to play with them and that's when I found out the really cool part, the Christmas decorations are all removable so they become actual action figures. Obi-Wan and Anakin both have lightsabers and the hand they hold them in moves so they can duel. The Shock Trooper holds a blaster but his hands do not move.

Each of the figures stand about 2 1/4 inches tall and they are made of plastic. According to the package they contain small parts and may not be suitable for children under the age of 3. In my pictures I show how they look with and without their Christmas decorations. If you have a Star Wars fan in your life, these indeed make cute little stocking stuffers that can be used after the holidays too.
