One year ago this weekend 10s of 1,00os of Star Wars fans flocked to the Anaheim convention center for Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. The official Lucasfilm/Disney convention played host to loads of Star Wars celebrities, movie and animated debuts, merchandise vendors and panels on every aspect of fandom.

New 12″ Additions & 3PO Red Arm Day

We have updated Target's Exclusive 12" 3-pack featuring droids from The Force Awakens to our 12" Action Figure Hero Series Checklist page. This set which was made available a few days prior to last week's release of Episode VII on Blu-ray/DVD is fantastic due solely to Goldenrod. C-3PO has not only one of the best sculpts for a Hasbro 12" figure to date but a terrific paint job that could only be outdone with vac-metalizing. Speaking of 3PO, today is long-delayed day where we find out exactly why he has a red arm in TFA in Marvel Comic's Star Wars Special: C-3PO (Journey to The Force Awakens) #1. This issue will ship with a 3PO Action Figure Variant cover and an exclusive version from Wonderland [...]

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 [...]

Welcome 12″ Figures to the Site

We are happy to announce the addition of the modern line of 12" action figures to the site! We're working on adding the vintage and early Hasbro Collector Series lines as well to the site as well as the 6" lines (yes we said lines). We are even attempting to collect more information about the 2" line of figures from Episode I which we so highly covet. But to get us started on our non-3 3/4" figure coverage, we are starting with the understandably least popular line of 12" action figures (even though we dig them) the Hero Series assortment. From4-LOMtoZuckuss.com Presents: Star Wars 12” Action Figure "Hero Series" Checklist At about the same time that Disney began reducing the articulation of their 3 3/4" line of action [...]
