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!

Emerald City Comic Con Postponed

Each year we work hard to cover Emerald City Comic Con by releasing our annual Guide to everything Stars Wars at the show and just announced this morning it was announced that it has been postponed due to concerns over the spread of the coronavirus which is valid due to Seattle being the US's ground zero for the illness. We will cover the convention, per usual, this Summer when it is expected to return. So it appears we can already shift our attention to the Washington State Summer Con which is coming to the Washington State Fair Grounds on the first weekend of Summer. Taking place on June 20th-21st, the convention, who has shown fans of the Star Wars Saga so much love in the past, [...]

Hasbro’s AMP’D Line Remembered

Now before we begin our 2020 coverage of New York Toy Fair with a deluge of press releases, reveals, photos and live-streams, we'd like to take a moment to remember the line you forgot about but one Hasbro did not. Back in 2012, when Star Wars was starting to decrease their 3 3/4" Star Wars output, they put forth at New York Toy Fair a line of Star Wars figures and vehicles, in a new smaller scale, that could be rebuilt to form new and customizable vehicles. The series, called Star Wars AMP'D, was a fully realized line that catered to price points of $7 to $40 dollars and included 2.5"ish figures. Now with the reveal of the new Mission Fleet series this morning on IO9's [...]
