The Kenner Cameo in Galaxy’s Edge

As stated yesterday, we have returned from our Summer vacation from the Happiest Place on Earth: Disneyland! As one might expect our main reason for going was to immerse ourselves in the new world of Batuu! The Black Spire Outpost in Galaxy's Edge is full of an insane number of Star Wars references from all over fandom. The experience visiting the marketplace, Oga's Cantina, Hondo's Ohnaka Transport Solutions and Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities is truly magical for any fan of the Star Wars universe. But it should go without saying, one of the details found in Dok-Ondar's shop stood out to use beyond all others. Just over the shoulder of Dok himself sits a Kenner cameo going back to 1979! Blue Snaggletooth's head and trademark belt [...]

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. HASBRO STAR WARS SDCC PANEL REVEALS 2019 ONE SHEET STAR WARS GALAXY OF ADVENTURES 5-INCH Figure Assortment (HASBRO/Ages 4 years & up/Approx.

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 [...]
