Merry Christmas Eve

With the anniversary of Episode 1 (and the beginning of the prequel phenomenon) now just 5 months away, we can't help but let our minds wander to the early years of The Chosen One and wonder what could have been. That and we have been binging on Scrooged, Mikey's Christmas Carol, The Grinch and It's a Wonder Life this holiday day season. Nevertheless, we wish you all a Merry Christmas Eve and may Old St. Nick drop a Star Wars present or two under the tree for you. “When you care to send the very best – you say it with Star Wars action figures!” Click here for more Star Wars Holiday greetings!

Galaxy of Adventures Teaser Commercial

Hasbro's YouTube page has released a new commercial centered around the new Star Wars: Galaxy of Adventures line. This new ad most likely dropped just in time to remind last-minute Christmas shoppers to pick-up a few tube-packaged figures for stocking stuffers. This figure line which is exclusive to Wal*Mart until the beginning of the year retails for $10 and includes a small comic story about that figure from The Original Trilogy. Each figure is tied to an animated micro-episode of Galaxy of Adventures which debuted earlier this month on Starwarskids.com's YouTube page. You learn all about these figures from our First Look coverage here. It should be noted that this "teaser" commercial features figures from both Wave One and Wave Two (which isn't due out until Spring of [...]

2005’s Sydney White’s Kenner Figures

One of our favorite pastimes beyond collecting Star Wars action figures is hunting down their various appearances in the media (which we collect in our Lights! Camera! Action (Figure)! database). This week we have recently discovered the 2005 PG-13 teen comedy starring Amanda Bynes, Sydney White, features a smattering of Kenner action figures. The modern telling of Cinderella told through college pledges includes a band of college misfits who, when playing cards, gamble with action figures. One of the lines featured prominently on the card table are vintage Star Wars figures. In addition to a carded The Power of the Force Endor Luke, various other figures can be seen including a mail away vintage Cobra Commander and a pair of Jedi from Hasbro's Unleashed Battle Packs series. Other vintage Kenner figures [...]

Marvel Taps Hasbro for Comic Art

This past week Starwars.com announced a new limited series starring the Dark Lord of Sith. Star Wars: Darth Vader - Dark Visions, which begins in March of next year, includes a cover image of Vader mounted atop a creature and brandishing his lightsaber and an Imperial shield. What is exciting about this art is his shield featuring the Imperial cog which was done by Hasbro in 2005. During their Revenge of the Sith line, Hasbro introduced a very short-lived series, geared to younger kids, called Force Battlers. These 6"ish figures, were more stylized in design and included action features. The first Darth Vader released in this line included the Imperial shield which now appears to be possibly headed for official Star Wars canon if seen [...]
