Marvel & Hasbro – Could There be More to Come?

Over the last week, we have been just thrilled to see some of the newest variant covers for Marvel's Star Wars #1.  The new series is set to debut in January with no less than 39 (and counting) different covers so far. It goes without saying that the one that has got us giddy with excitement was none other than last Friday's reveal of the "Action Figure Variant".  The amazing cover by artist John Tyler Christopher is a great tribute to Kenner's vintage packaging.  The image of the figure itself has more of a modern sensibility yet still retains the vintage (and most recently) 5 points of articulation.

The popularity of the animated series is very welcomed but a larger line of figures devoted to the new show would have been preferred over the numerous re-releases that have accompanied the line's debut. The Clone Wars series began with [...]

The Force Awakens Round-Up

What a great weekend for Star Wars fans! This holiday weekend brought the internet and some theaters goers the first official theatrical glimpse of the next film in the Star Wars saga, The Force Awakens.   Living near Seattle provided me with the possibility to see the teaser not only once but twice on the big screen and with both viewings brought different emotions about what was shown. The preview showed the familiar in unfamiliar ways. We were shown the food we love but it had a different taste; and yet that taste wasn't bad. Leading up to the viewings, which was made well known by director JJ Abrams himself, I made the decision to view it with pure and unbiased eyes by signing-off of social [...]
