Merry Christmas ’83

Christmas 1983 was a very memorable one! That Christmas was not only full of loads of Star Wars gifts from Santa and my folks but it was the year I received one of my most played with toys ever. The Millennium Falcon finally landed at my house courtesy of the big fat man in the red suit. This toy would smuggle countless figures in its secret cargo hold, blast Imperials out of the sky with its gunner turret and enter into Hyperspace on a daily basis for years to come. The collecting bug had bit years before, but Return of the Jedi was when it really took off. Now 32 years later, I'm sure 7-year-old Jake would not be shocked to learn that every last Star Wars [...]

Merry Christmas Eve

While we are basking in the joy and euphoria that is The Force Awakens we'd like to take a moment between viewings to wish you all a Merry Christmas! We'd also like to thank Hasbro and Hunter PR for their generous #ChooseLightSide boxes throughout the year! Hasbro products have brought us happiness for well over three decades now and we are happy to pass it on to the next generation as well! Until next Christmas when we head to the theaters again, May the Figures be with you!

1 Day to Go ’till The Force Awakens

With just one day left until the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens we are beyond excited to learn which Hasbro vehicles, build-a-weapons and characters will actually have screen-time in Episode VII. In just over 24 hours fans and collectors will be able to begin creating accurate displays, dioramas and new ways of organizing their figures (Jakku, Starkiller Base, etc.)!   Like many of you we'll be seeing the film with some great collectors and friends and the Force in Seattle is so strong that SARLACC even had premiere t-shirts made! The great thing about collecting during a movie year is that there is typically a steady stream of figures to hunt for and especially during the holidays. We like many others on the West Coast are actively looking for [...]

Hasbro Toys Awaken on SNL & Kimmel

With just a few days left before The Force Awakens debuts in theaters, it makes perfect sense that Hasbro toys are popping up in the media in various places. On November 23rd, Jimmy Kimmel Live featured an entire special dedicated to The Force Awakens. During an interview with director JJ Abrams, Kimmel showed off two custom figures he made for the occasion: JJ as Han Solo and Jimmy as Princess Leia. Last night on Saturday Night Live, the sketch comedy show took Star Wars action figures to another level by making their own Hasbro commercial emphasizing the toys are not just meant for children. To see the commercial sketch head to our Facebook page where we have uploaded the entire skit. Update - [...]

Leaked Force Awakens Figures & Recent Releases

This past week has been full of surprises when it comes to The Force Awakens action figure line. Not only did JediDefender.com on their Twitter scoop a bunch of figures released on Amazon Canada a few days ago but as of yesterday morning some of these unannounced figures were found at retail in the US. Spoiler Alert Warning - some of the figures below were most likely meant to be released after next week's TFA debut as some do include what many (including ourselves) consider to be movie spoilers. Build-a-Weapon - Wave 3 Desert Captain Rex Finn (FN-2187) Unkar Plutt Forest Han Solo Hassk Thug Rey (Resistance Outfit) Armor-Up - Wave 2 Desert Finn (FN-2187) Space First Order TIE [...]
