What if…The Hasbro Star Wars: Ahsoka Figure Line of Our Dreams

As a collector who has been all in on Star Wars 3 3/4" action figures since the early '80s, I find myself getting nostalgic for some of the action figure lines of the past. The Power of the Force 2 line was a standout when it came to character selection, creatures, and vehicle scales. The Clone Wars line continued this tradition a decade later for the first three years of the animated series. As someone who was raised in a time where toys where meant to be enjoyed as a continuation of a property (as opposed to modern lines where toys are made to be collected), I long for the massive world building qualities of past lines. To that end, I have created my dream [...]

Hasbro Pulse Star Wars Fanstream Jan ’24 Reveals

Today Hasbro announced, in their first FanStream of the year, a handful of TVC and TBS figures including multiple pipelined figures as well. If you missed the stream, you can watch here: Of the numerous reveals, we are excited for Cobb Vanth to finally find a place in TVC and the Amazon multipack featuring Ahsoka and her droids. The Retro collection reveals of Episodes II and III were exciting as well but we hoped for solid waves for each film. It would not feel right if we did not express our disappointment with the rerelease of so many figures we have already and the lack of new figures from Ahsoka, Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch and Obi-Wan Kenobi shows. With The [...]

Gift of the Galaxy Celebrates the Prequels!

This morning as part of Star Wars Gift of the Galaxy product program, Hasbro announced three new action figure sets. With 2024 being the 25th anniversary of the Prequel Trilogy, all of these sets slated for next year are PT focused. While the only Vintage Collection entry this week looks amazing, some have become frustrated over the pricing of this deluxe figure. The last time a super-articulated Jango was released in TVC (1) it retailed for $8-9 making this release 12 years later a 300% increase with just as many accessories. On the flip side, the Retro Collection comes in priced at a cool $60 for 6 figures, which returns the line to the 10-dollar-price-point. Hasbro has provided us with official images and press release [...]
