Micro Force WOW! – Press Release

Hasbro's squishy-miniature line of figures continues this holiday season with a series of blind packaged tubes, entitled Micro Force WOW! In what is sure to be a hit for Wal*Mart shoppers looking for stocking stuffers, this line will cease being a Wal*Mart exclusive in the new year. This latest wave of Micro Force includes Star Wars stickers and the very first Star Wars: Resistance merchandise by Hasbro and just about any manufacturer. Pictured on the side of the box is both the pirate captain Kragen Gorr and the Astromech R1-J5 aka "Bucket". One the same day of this press release, our friend and fellow podcaster from This Week in Star Wars and Galaxy of Toys Podcast, Matt Fox found them at his local Wal*Mart on the [...]

Happy 40th to The Star Wars Holiday Special!

If there is one thing we are proudly guilty of here at From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com, it is loving the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special! So to celebrate its fortieth trip around the sun, we thought we'd look back at our own coverage of the "amazing" 70's variety show. We'll begin with the star-studded episode of Galaxy of Toys created to celebrate the 35th Anniversary! Celebrating Life Day with Galaxy of Toys Podcast Over the years, we've tried our meager hand at customizing a vintage Life Day Chewie. And finally, we leave with our true passion for the Holiday Special, a breakdown of the show and how to celebrate it with action figures. This was originally published for the 35th anniversary and five years later it is sad [...]

Happy Canada Day 2017!

Happy Canada Day! Our good friend Mike "Tarkin" MacDonald and co-host of the terrific The Sandcrawler Podcast shares once again with us a Star Wars-themed celebration of Canada! It’s been three years since Jake was kind enough to post my little action figure tribute to my favourite Rebel pilot on my country’s birthday so I thought it was time for an update and it was also time for Dutch Vander to bring along a fellow Canadian, Biggs Darklighter. But wait a minute, Biggs is from Tatooine, isn’t he? Well yeah, but the actor that played Biggs in Star Wars, Garrick Hagon, is also Canadian. Tell you what, let’s just do the crawl…   Happy 150th Birthday Canada and May the Force and Figures be you!

Happy Anniversary to My Brother, Star Wars!

By Jake Stevens As a Bicentennial Baby, I have grown up with Star Wars for practically my entire life.  Not one memory that I can recall comes from a time without Star Wars.  Like a slightly older brother, we have spent more time playing together than any of my "siblings"; G.I. Joe, Transformers, M.A.S.K. and He-Man. The thing that has made Star Wars the sibling that I have bonded most with is that as kid he was always up for playing with my friends, and my family. Star Wars is really the ideal brother as he gives you his complete attention when its just the two of you and yet loves to be shared with the world and put on display for how awesome he [...]
