Jocasta’s Reference Desk is Now Open

Here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss.com we love to share our passion for Star Wars action figures and appreciate the books and publications which do the same.  We have created a list of some of the best books and magazines the community has to offer in regards to Star Wars figures. At Jocasta's Reference Desk you will find publications that include Star Wars action figure content ranging from visual guides to price guides, the making of to the impact and detailed histories to fun facts. As with all our guides, lists and archives, this collection of titles is a continual work in progress (as there is loads more out there and it takes lots of hours flipping through Star Wars Insiders) to ensure that we build as thorough [...]

Final SDCC ’14 Update: The Hasbro Giveaway

Thanks to our good friend and San Diego Comic-Con correspondent, Ryan Beise, for hooking us up with Hasbro's only 3 3/4" related exclusive from the con this year.  This poster was given away at Hasbro's Booth in the exhibit hall and highlights the upcoming animated series 5POA action figure line from Star Wars Rebels. Hasbro, who has created action figure posters in the past, choose to share some love with their other toy lines based on Rebels as well.  As convention giveaways go this is pretty lackluster but we can be patient this year as next year is sure to include plenty of figure and figure-related exclusives and promotions at both Celebration Anaheim and SDCC '15. For all of our SDCC '14 Coverage, which we just updated with [...]

New Hasbro Toys use Vintage Kenner Designs!

Last Toy Fair Pablo Hidalgo made it clear that the new animated series Star Wars Rebels would be using some of Kenner's original action figure designs.  He even pointed out that Stormtrooper blasters in the show would sport the extra "fins" found on the barrel of Kenner's 3 3/4" version of the weapon.  But what he didn't tell us was that the actually Kenner design (which is much different than the blaster seen in the films and in Rebels) would also be used in the series.  Hasbro's newest toy line Star Wars Command, which is meant to recapture green army men playtime, depicts the Kenner Stormtrooper blaster on its Imperial Officers figurines. As lifelong collectors it is so exciting to see these designs come full circle and of course we [...]

New Toys, Videos & Displays but no Figures

Targets across the country have completed their "fall resets" (where they rearrange their aisles to make room for new merch and toy lines) and in the process vastly improved the Star Wars presence in their toy aisles. By adding large and impressive signage and new Star Wars Rebels, 6" The Black Series, Jaxx's 20" figures and Star Wars Command products they are geared up for bringing Star Wars to many a Christmas tree this winter.  But with this increased presence, not a new 3 3/4" figure is to be found. The only figures that appear to be showing up currently is the previously hard to find Mara Jade and Darth Plagueis wave of The Black Series. Now August is said to be the release month [...]

Tonight’s Disney XD Star Wars Line-Up

Don't forget that tonight the Disney XD Channel will be wishing, "May the Monday be with You" with a series of Star Wars themed episodes. Things get started with a Star Wars dream sequence episode of "Kickin It" at 7/6c. Then an encore presentation (and the Disney XD premiere) of Phineas and Ferb Star Wars at 7:30/6:30c. And finally a 15 minute "First Look" of Star Wars Rebels (which is rumored to included the first 7 minutes of the series) at 8:45/7:45c. Now in regards to action figures, if this was a few years ago when we had figures made from every EU (now Legends) property, we would have said it might be possible to get these animated versions of the OT heroes but in [...]
