New Mini Displays from Boutros77

One of our favorite Star Wars action figure diorama builders, the extremely talented Boutros77 sends us an update with his latest creations.  His newest batch includes an Original Trilogy, a Prequel Trilogy (which is awesome and rare from the artist) and an Original Jones Trilogy (still ignoring Crystal Skull for the time being) mini display. You can find more of Boutros77's work in the links below and you can read our Fans of Force Figures exclusive interview with him here. Hello all, Hope you're keeping well. Before getting onto the next big project, I'd like to update with a few mini environments. A mini Dagobah style marsh land, The entrance to Palpatines study, & I think my personal favorite, the Grail display. I've attached a [...]

Happy Life Day!

It's that time of year again where we gather with our friends and family to celebrate the promise of the Tree of Life. Happy Life Day everyone from your friends at From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com! For the last 36 years fans have had the privilege of celebrating the traditions first seen on the Star Wars Holiday Special.  We here are huge fans of the admittedly awful variety show and always look forward to sitting down each November 17th for our annual viewing. Now we are not alone in our love for this vintage program, as it should be no surprise based on the logo, but the cast of the Galaxy of Toys Podcast are such big fans that they last year produced one of best tributes to the Holiday Special found [...]

The (Rebels Toy) Force Awakens At Toys “R” Us in Canada!

"I just returned from an early Christmas shopping excursion and stopped at my Toys “R” Us in Windsor, Ontario.  After a lengthy delay, Rebels action figures have finally arrived in my area.  In fact the entire Star Wars section is FINALLY jam packed with new Star Wars toys. "I picked up five of the new Rebels figures for $6.99 each (minus a 10% discount with my Toys “R” Us/Rebels discount card). They also had the “Reveal the Rebels” three pack featuring the “mystery” Obi Wan Kenobi figure. Oddly enough this was actually cheaper here in Canada than what I paid for last weekend in Michigan by $2. "Lots of discounted 6-inch figures, and a few end caps of regular priced 6-inch biker scouts and Endor [...]

Hasbro’s Star Wars Timeline

Yesterday MTV.com published a timeline of Hasbro's Star Wars action figures. The timeline is geared more for educating new viewer on where in the Star Wars Saga the new animated series Star Wars Rebels takes place.  The image is very cool but is not a true timeline of the actual figures as it only uses figures from past couple of years (specifically The Black Series, Movie Heroes and Saga Legends lines). As stated by our good friend Criz Bee of Jedibusiness.com, one glaring oversight with the timeline is the lack of any reference to the 6 Season run of The Clone Wars. No word yet if this will actually see print form as a holiday or convention giveaway but if such information surfaces we will [...]

The Ezra Bridger Variation

The Star Wars Saga Legends Rebels line has just begun to ship in large numbers to retailers and already we have our first variant.  A couple of collector sites last week have already announced this but there is a variant out there of the Ezra Bridger included in the Toys 'R' Us exclusive Mission Series Jedi Reveal 3-pack. The first version (pictured on the left above) includes an insignia on Ezra's jacket with very little detail when compared to the second (corrected) version. The reason for the two differing variations is yet unknown but this is something that can be common at the beginning of a new figure line.  It reminds us of the two significantly different variations of the first Darth Maul figure released in the [...]

Episode VII’s Title finally Awakens!

Today Lucasfilm very casually announced the title of the highly anticipated beginning of the next Star Wars trilogy; Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The film, which just wrapped principle photography and is slated for a December 18th, 2015 release, has apparently dropped the numeration which was made popular by the Special Edition and Prequel trilogies. This hearkens back to the Original Trilogy which has been director JJ Abrams' main focus in the creation of this next film. A New Hope -> The Phantom Menace -> The Force Awakens The Empire Strikes Back -> Attack of the Clones -> ? Return of the Jedi -> Revenge of the Sith -> ? Falling inline with the previous first chapters of each trilogy this title is a bit vague [...]

Action Figure Inflation – Part 2 “The Adjusted”

We continue our look at the pricing of Star Wars action figures and how it has evolved over the years since its inception in 1977.  We began two weeks ago with Part 1 "The Figures" which charted the evolution of Star Wars action figure price points over time.  Today we breakdown what the cost of a singled-carded action figure looks like when we take inflation into account. We referenced the CPI (Consumer Price Index) as calculated by the US Dept. of Labor for our cost adjustments and presented each as rounded to the nearest quarter on the histogram below.  This has provided a rather unique perspective on the history of Kenner and Hasbro figure pricing and shows that Hasbro is currently acting a bit outside of their norm these days.  We'll provide [...]
