Huge Droid Factory Build-a-Droid Guide Update

As we head into 2016 we wanted to make sure we were completely up-to-date with our Disney's exclusive Droid Factory Build-a-Droid Guide. With December's release of four new domes (some even from The Force Awakens) we are predicting that new bodies and legs will be appearing before too long. If this year is anything like the last one, we should prepare for many new Astromechs in the near future. To view our updates which include Wave 3 and all Exclusives to-date, click the pic below to head to our comprehensive guide. Also should have you any information about the "four" Astros from The Force Awakens we'd love to hear from you! Until next time, May the Droid Figures be with you!

Merry Christmas ’83

Christmas 1983 was a very memorable one! That Christmas was not only full of loads of Star Wars gifts from Santa and my folks but it was the year I received one of my most played with toys ever. The Millennium Falcon finally landed at my house courtesy of the big fat man in the red suit. This toy would smuggle countless figures in its secret cargo hold, blast Imperials out of the sky with its gunner turret and enter into Hyperspace on a daily basis for years to come. The collecting bug had bit years before, but Return of the Jedi was when it really took off. Now 32 years later, I'm sure 7-year-old Jake would not be shocked to learn that every last Star Wars [...]

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 [...]

Hasbro Toys Awaken on SNL & Kimmel

With just a few days left before The Force Awakens debuts in theaters, it makes perfect sense that Hasbro toys are popping up in the media in various places. On November 23rd, Jimmy Kimmel Live featured an entire special dedicated to The Force Awakens. During an interview with director JJ Abrams, Kimmel showed off two custom figures he made for the occasion: JJ as Han Solo and Jimmy as Princess Leia. Last night on Saturday Night Live, the sketch comedy show took Star Wars action figures to another level by making their own Hasbro commercial emphasizing the toys are not just meant for children. To see the commercial sketch head to our Facebook page where we have uploaded the entire skit. Update - [...]

Leaked Force Awakens Figures & Recent Releases

This past week has been full of surprises when it comes to The Force Awakens action figure line. Not only did JediDefender.com on their Twitter scoop a bunch of figures released on Amazon Canada a few days ago but as of yesterday morning some of these unannounced figures were found at retail in the US. Spoiler Alert Warning - some of the figures below were most likely meant to be released after next week's TFA debut as some do include what many (including ourselves) consider to be movie spoilers.

The Reissues Awaken

Unlike movie-based lines of the Prequel Era, The Force Awakens line seems to be offering up a fair amount of figures reissued from previous lines. Yakface.com confirms (via BB-8 News Facebook page )what we discussed on the last Galaxy of Toys Podcast; that a Slave 1 with Boba Fett will be coming in TFA packaging. Another set of reissues that appear to be coming are two Epic Battles Toys 'R' Us exclusives. The 6-pack sets appear to be themed by trilogies and offer figures that save for Qui-Gon appear to all be 5 POA reissues from the last few lines. This reveal also comes from a Facebook page. When and if these will be released stateside is still unknown. How many more reissued sets or figures [...]

Star Wars Nostalgia On the Rise

"We're bringing to life the nostalgia that many young parents feel about Star Wars and Kraft, and creating new and exciting ways to experience them together as a family," says Scott Glenn, brand manager for Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. With Star Wars now once again approaching fever pitch as anticipation grows toward the debut of The Force Awakens, it’s become clear that it’s not just the new Star Wars that’s on everyone’s mind. A new appreciation for Star Wars nostalgia and vintage collectibles have become the focus of not just fans but corporate America as well. Companies like Sony have skewed their Star Wars advertising to an older demographic with the inclusion of Star Wars nostalgia. Kraft Macaroni as well has gone as far as [...]

The Force Awakens Trailer

We teared up at, "It's all true...all of it." ESPN's Monday Night Football played host to the debut of the first official full trailer for The Force Awakens. Leading up to the halftime showing many theaters put tickets for the December 18th premiere up for the pre-sale (which not surprisingly broke the internet for the evening). Now back to watching the trailer another 19 hundred and seventy-seven times!
