Retro Collection Special Bounty Hunters 2-Pack Press Release

This morning Amazon surprised vintage and modern collectors by dropping a "new expression" to the Retro Collection line.

Bring Home the Bounty – Bonus Bounty #7

Yesterday, Hasbro provided exclusive Star Wars action figure reveals to two different websites: CNET and IGN. CNET was given the latest Black Series figure to showcase which is loosely based on the comic book version of Black Krrsantan. This figure is a repaint of a Chewbacca with a new bandolier.

IGN showcased three [...]
