We couldn't be more excited for Star Wars Rebels especially in regards to this early morning's debut of the extended trailer! Its fantastic to hear Jonathan Arnold Taylor back as Obi-Wan Kenobi and to see such Original Trilogy influences. But by far the most exciting thing for us about Rebels is the use of Kenner action figure line designs. In this trailer it is easy to make out the Kenner TIE Fighter ascetic as it has the smaller Solor Panels which the vintage toy company went with to keep costs down. Also featured are the "cooling fins" which Kenner featured on its Stormtrooper's E-11 blaster accessory. And finally, although not shown in the trailer but found in the just released Star Wars Rebels [...]

We here at From 4-LOM to Zuckuss are complete suckers for nostalgia-inspiring Star Wars t-shirts. So it goes without saying that we had to ask graphic designer Andrew Morley to share a little bit about himself, his action figure fandom and his fantastic new line of Kenner cardback t-shirts! Like most children of the 70's/80's I was a Star Wars fan... nothing strange... almost everybody my age was! I have fond memories of taking bus trips into town with my Grandmother, visiting the local toy store and having a real hard time choosing between which Star Wars figure I would get as a treat... often coming home with two, I imagine because my Grandmother could get me out of the store or get on with [...]

Jad Bean is back with another great set of action figure themed t-shirts! If you're not familiar with Jad's work then you'll want check out our interview with him we did last year. Jad has provided us with a break down about this newest work to feature vintage Kenner Star Wars toys. "Because Action Figures" "This is me in ultimate troll mode. I love those memes that go around where it's a picture of Gandalf, with a quote from Yoda, attributed to Dumbledore, or other such nerd-rage-inducing combinations. I asked myself, how could I do that one better, and incorporate the 80's action figures that I love so much? I had just recently acquired a beautiful, complete vintage tauntaun; once I realized my '85 Snake Eyes would [...]
