SDCC 2019 Hasbro Press Release & Images

Hasbro has provided us with official images and information from the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con Star Wars panel. The Panel was surprising light on reveals. They previewed the fan vote winner Luke Dagobah which is still in development, introduced a new scale of 5" Galaxy of Adventures figures and showed nor spoke of any new 3.75" figures at all. We are fearing for the future of the 3 3/4" line but our figures are crossed that Tripel Force Friday will ease our nerves with The Rise of Skywalker action figure line.

SDCC 2019 – The Hasbro Booth

As we prepare for Hasbro's Star Wars panel, which begins today at 2 PM PST, we can't help but pour over the images from Hasbro's booth this year in anticipation. Hasbro once again impresses with the sheer amount of product and displays including a very impressive Sarlacc and Jabba's Palace diorama. Now our friends over at Rebelscum have inquired about that many of the "new" figures in the Jabba's Palace dio, which include  6" versions of the Rancor, 8D8, EV-99, Gonk droid, and even a tortured 2-1B droid, and as of now it appears they are all customs for the display. But as fans recall the Trash Compactor Luke was also considered a custom in a previous Hasbro display until a year later he was [...]

New Galaxy of Adventure Ads

In what is almost a page out of Hasbro's #GoRogue campaign, there are a few new Star Wars action figure stop-motion sponsored ads that have surfaced on social media. The "commercials" are produced by HelloSociety which specializes in social media influencing, and appear to be made on the behalf of Wal*Mart. The Galaxy of Adventures line is now in its third wave and appears to be what Hasbro and their partnered retailers are currently focusing on until this Fall when Triple Force Friday hits in October.   While it is unclear as to how many of these ads are out there, the Boba Fett one is aptly timed as the Boba Fett episode of Galaxy of Adventures on Star Wars Kids just premiered one week [...]
