The Dryden Vos Easter Egg

We were thrilled last week to stumble upon the latest wave of Black Series figures, as they not only begin our ramp-up to celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the start of the Prequels but provide collectors a chance to add two new characters never done before to their collections. Wave 20 of Hasbro's The Black Series includes 6 new figures: Mace Windu, Padme Amidala, Battle Droid, Han Solo (Mimban), Vice Admiral Holdo and Dryden Vos.  Of these six, Holdo and Vos have yet to be done in action figure form which makes these two very exciting (although we 3 3/4" collectors are still holding our breath). Now as mention at New York Comic Con last year, the leader of Crimson Dawn comes with a special feature [...]

“The Parking Lot” – New Site Section

Welcome to our newest visual database on the site: The Parking Lot! Since 2015, Star Wars has produced a massive amount of media in comparison to the proceeding 4 decades. Four films, three animated shows, and various online micro-series have made for a rich and diverse era of Star Wars but it has also become a challenge for Hasbro and other companies to produce the deep character selections they have in the past. In order to encourage and hopefully inspire, we have teamed with fellow collector @Finndormoon to produce a list of the major and key characters, droids, beasts, vehicles, and playsets we would love to see Hasbro revisit and release in future lines. We have broken our list down into two categories, the kid-focused 5POA line, [...]

Early Look at the Barge on The Star Wars Show

Today on The Star Wars Show, the hosts Andi and Anthony chat with Lucasfilm's Chris Dern about the imminent release of Jabba's Sail Barge The Khetanna. In the clip they demonstrate the many details and play features of the final version of the barge and highlight the companion pieces now available at HasbroPulse.com. This clip comes just hours after Starwars.com released an article by Kritsin Baver with more details about this crowd-sourced toy. Of note in the article is the following quote about another HasLab offering in the near future. With the sail barges now shipping, HasLab, the crowdfunding platform that helps put dream products in the hands of eager fans with their support and pledges, is expected to announce its next collectible soon. Hopefully, [...]

Solo Toys Featured on The Simpsons

A big thanks to @ThatAndrewWard for the heads-up about this appearance of Star Wars toys on The Simpsons! This appeared on Season 30's thirteenth episode "I'm Dancing as Fat as I Can" which debuted on February 10th. Homer tries to make amends for binging his and Marge's favorite show without her; Bart prepares for "Krusty's Holiday Trample". Now this is not the first time Star Wars toys have appeared in the long-running series. In Season 6, Ralph displayed his figures in "Lisa's Rival" in 1994. And in Season 13, The Comic Book Guy's bedroom was filled with Kenner figures as well.   With 30 seasons of animation, there are more than likely more appearances and if you are aware of others, please let us know [...]
