The Return of Yoda! Who’s Next?

Yesterday it was announced that Yoda and his original voice would be returning to Star Wars. Now Yoda himself was seen just earlier this year in Netflix's Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions dealing with some heavy issues but his original voice is another story.  In a surprise move, Frank Oz who voiced the diminutive Jedi Master in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will be once again providing his voice in January 5th's episode of Star Wars Rebels according to TVGuide.com.  An appearance in Rebels would be the character’s first official or canonical appearance since his self-imposed exile to Dagobah at the end of Revenge of the Sith. This will be the third actor from the Original Trilogy to reprise their role on the new series.  James [...]

2015 Star Wars Toy Line Speculations

This past week we were invited by our friends at Jedibusiness.com to take part in some fun speculation about what we can expect for next year's action figure lines.  We were joined by a handful of well known longtime Star Wars collectors from across the web suchas: James Burns from JediNews.co.uk Arnie and Marjorie Carvalho from Star Wars Action News Corey from TheWolfpackPodcast.com Paul Harrison from JediTempleArchives.com Jayson Krebsbach from Yakface.com Gus Lopez from The Star Wars Collectors Archive.com Jason Luttrull from Galaxy of Toys Podcast and our own Jake Stevens of From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com The article includes a lot of great knowledge and educated guesses about the toy industry and will be an equally fun read once again in a year from now when The Force Awakens merch has been released .

Rebels Figures: 10 and Counting

It took just about until Star Wars Rebels' mid-season break before most of the country was able to get their hands on many of the show's action figures and yet just as stores have filled their shelves we are already once again wanting more.  The small amount of actual Rebels figures available is a bit lacking. The first initial wave of Hasbro's Rebels-based line includes just 10 figures and 3 vehicles despite 12 carded figures, 5 Mission Series 2-packs, 1 exclusive and 6 vehicles shipping in the same assortments. The popularity of the animated series is very welcomed but a larger line of figures devoted to the new show would have been preferred over the numerous re-releases that have accompanied the line's debut. The Clone Wars series began with [...]

A 5POA Stormtrooper Glance

The recently released Saga Legends Rebels line has brought longtime collectors their newest version of a 5 Points of Articulation Stormtrooper.  This limited articulated line which has been met with apprehension from many modern collectors, is a worthy nod to a much simpler (but also then revolutionary) form of action figure. The original Stormtrooper was part of Kenner's first 12 figures released in 1978's Star Wars line and technically wasn't even a 5POA; it was a 4POA as Kenner molded the helmet as part of the torso. Kenner's next attempt, which we purposely did not feature above due to its number of POAs, was in 1995's The Power of the Force (POTF2) line and featured both a swivel head and waist upping its POA to six.  It appeared this [...]

The Imperial Troop Transport(er)/Cruiser

Thanks to StarWars-Figuren.com we now have the first boxed images of the new Imperial Troop Transport.  As long time collectors and fans will know, this marks the third version of this vehicle to appear as a Star Wars action figure vehicle. The first arrived in Kenner's 1978 Star Wars line as the "Imperial Troop Transporter".  The second was only a few years later as the "Imperial Cruiser" in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back Line. The first two versions share the same mold with some electronic and color changes but the newest version which made its television debut on the Star Wars Rebels episode "Fighter Flight" is a brand new sculpt which has been modified from Kenner's original design. This was announced to be released in January 2015. Until [...]

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 [...]
