Igloo’s New Kenner Tumbler

A huge thanks to our good friend Paul Van Dyk for the heads up on a new modern Kenner Star Wars action figure item. This tumbler appears to use the same standard Lucasfilm-approved images that most recently were used on a deck of playing cards. While this tumbler looks great, the images themselves are quite inaccurate when it comes to the vintage Kenner figure line. You can find the link for this item which is still listed as coming soon here. STAR WARS MINT IN BOX 16 OZ STAINLESS STEEL CAN TUMBLER The exciting new Star Wars x Igloo collection showcases the worldwide pop-culture phenomenon featuring iconic images and original artwork from the beloved saga. Whether one is strong with the Force, supports the Rebellion or [...]

A Triple #ForceFriday Reflection

This past weekend saw the release of the new merchandise for not only Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker but also The Mandalorian and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While the title implies this should have been the biggest celebration by three of Star Wars merchandise in years, in reality, it included none of the fanfare, bells nor whistles we’ve seen in the past four years of Disney-era Star Wars films. Unlike every major Star Wars film merchandise release date since 1999’s The Phantom Menace, there was no wide-spread midnight event taking place across the country or world. This is mostly due to the lack of Toys ‘R’ Us in the United States and fellow retailers like Target not having anyone to compete with for [...]
