Hasbro’s Star Wars Fan’s Choice Poll 2016

We are excited to announce that Hasbro's Star Wars Fan's Choice Poll is back and From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com is once again an official participant. Hasbro has done multiple fan's choice polls in the past but after taking a few years off it returned in 2015. Last year, fans from all over were able to cast their vote on the Star Wars character they wanted to be transformed into a Hasbro Black Series 6-inch figure – and it was a huge success, creating TWO new additions to the line (Sabine Wren and Darth Revan). Now the rules are pretty straightforward and much like last year where The Force Awakens characters were off the table for voting so will be characters from this December's film: All characters [...]

Happy May The Fourth Be with You Day

Well, fingers-crossed that this Star Wars holiday will be full of luck as there are two places exclusive new Star Wars figures could surface today.  The first may be your local Wal*Mart as reports from last week surfaced that the world's biggest retailer would be offering their three new The Black Series 3 3/4" figures on May 4th.  This wave once again includes Han (Starkiller Base), Princess Leia from TFA and Captain Phasma and of course each one of these figures are fully articulated. The second place to look for new action figures today would be the Disney Parks. For those lucky enough to either be on vacation or live very near the parks, R5-M4 has already begun appearing on ebay and social media. This is [...]

How to Make New TFA Han Solo Figures

If you are anything like us we are extremely impatient for more figures of Original Trilogy characters that appeared in The Force Awakens (ahem Luke). Well with a little seed planted courtesy one of our favorite customizers, Colin Hobbs, we quickly jumped on the opportunity to do it ourselves. Whether it was intentional or coincidence, the good folks over at Hasbro made the new Han Solo figure's jacket removable. Now what's great about this is this allows anyone who owns the Han Solo (Echo Base Outfit) from 2010's The Vintage Collection to create a few new The Force Awakens versions of the late smuggler. The browns of the jackets are a near match thus making a simple jacket switch invaluable to those seeking to add to their [...]

1 Day to Go ’till The Force Awakens

With just one day left until the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens we are beyond excited to learn which Hasbro vehicles, build-a-weapons and characters will actually have screen-time in Episode VII. In just over 24 hours fans and collectors will be able to begin creating accurate displays, dioramas and new ways of organizing their figures (Jakku, Starkiller Base, etc.)!   Like many of you we'll be seeing the film with some great collectors and friends and the Force in Seattle is so strong that SARLACC even had premiere t-shirts made! The great thing about collecting during a movie year is that there is typically a steady stream of figures to hunt for and especially during the holidays. We like many others on the West Coast are actively looking for [...]
