The Complete Black Series Action Figure Checklist

In 2013, Hasbro made the decision to create a collector focused scale of super-articulated 6" figures. This Black Series line of figures became very popular with collectors who were used to super-detailed and highly posable figures from The Vintage Collection 3 3/4" line. This line which has grown exponentially with each year was not the first time Hasbro attempted a 6" line. During the Power of the Jedi line, which followed the highly overproduced Episode I line of figures, Hasbro debuted the extremely short-lived "Mega" action figure line. This line featured just three figures which had action features and sculpts which featured limited points of articulation. In 2015 with the release of The Force Awakens a third 6" toy line was introduced but this time, these [...]

Star Wars Battle Bobblers Are Here!

On a grocery/toy run today in hopes of finding the new PhotoReal Vintage Collection and/or The Empire Strikes Back Retro Collection waves, I stumbled upon an unexpected discovery, Star Wars Battle Bobblers. Now after having been teased with them last year during New York Comic Con, there has been no noise about them since then beyond a cameo at New York Toy Fair this past February. Target had what appeared to be two of each of the three sets which were present on the shelf. There was no sign of a Vader/Luke set which is featured on the back of the packaging. For those who are not aware of the...uniqueness of these...bobblers, they are essentially mini cartoon styled bobbleheads mounted to a small [...]

My Star Wars Life Episode 213: The One with Jake

Jake recently had the chance to sit down and join the Native American Pop Culture Spirit Guide himself, Scotty White, on his most recent episode of My Star Wars Life podcast.

Black Series Carbonized Boba Fett Pre-Order

Happy Star Wars: Fan Celebration Day! Hasbro has asked us to join in the fun and celebrate this day by letting us reveal the next figure to be added to the popular Black Series Carbonized Collection; Boba Fett! This figure, much like many of the others coming this year, pays tribute to the 40th Anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.

This figure is available now for pre-order in the sites listed in the press release below! Hurry up and don't miss out on this bounty! STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES CARBONIZED [...]

The Mandalorian – An Unusual Unboxing

While school is out in many places around the country and world, we are finding new ways to entertain ourselves. Jake (a middle school teacher) and his 13-year-old daughter/student Evelyn decided to make a quick little unboxing video for the entertainment of their middle school while kids are home this week. Jake attempts to show off some of his recent pick-ups and unbox a Black Series Mandalorian figure. We have already heard from some, young and old, who are interested in uniquely unboxing their own Star Wars collectible, if you decide to, make sure to share it with us and we'll share, repost and/or retweet it. In the meantime, stay home if you can, stay safe and keep those hands clean!
