The Vintage Collection Mos Eisley Cantina HasLab

This past Friday, Hasbro finally announced their highly anticipated next HasLab for The Vintage Collection. The Mos Eisley Cantina which was leaked, by Hasbro Pulse prior to its announcement, includes three figures in its offering with three more included in its tiers. A unique feature about this crowdfund campaign is that it includes two different offerings, a base and a deluxe. Now for figure collectors, it should be noted that Wuher and the Tonnika twins are 100% exclusive to this HasLab and will not be reissued on the TVC proper line. Also it has been confirmed by Steve Evans, head of the Star Wars Brand Team, that the tiered figures could get reissued in the line on different cardbacks BUT only if they are funded. [...]

The State of the Cantina Address

It has been nearly 47 years since the infamous cantina in a certain wretched hive of scum and villainy made its debut. From the beginning, Kenner embraced the scene and created not one but two playsets based on the watering-hole and close to a dozen figures to populate it within the first few years.  The Mos Eisley Cantina, also known as Chalmun’s Spaceport Cantina, and its patrons have been a work-in-progress for Kenner and then Hasbro across many of their action figure lines. It seems that barely a year will go by without a new offering, update or reissue of a Cantina-inspired item and despite the unending attention, there are still dozens of Cantina characters that have yet to be made.  In this article, [...]

Midnight Madness by Cardboard Galaxy

Two amazing things occurred this week! Firstly, Bobb from Cardboard Galaxy completely flattered us by sending us his most recent diorama creation which features the epic May night in 1999 aka Midnight Madness! The second thing was actually how many memories this diorama unlocked for me from that night! Now for those who did not experience the very first Midnight Madness, it was the official Lucasfilm release date (May 3rd) for all Episode I merchandise in which Toys 'R' Us opened at midnight with the moniker Midnight Madness. We wrote in-depth about this night and reached out to fellow collectors 5 years ago for the 20th anniversary and you can read all about it here. Cardboard Galaxy did such a nice job recreating the look [...]

What if…The Hasbro Star Wars: Ahsoka Figure Line of Our Dreams

As a collector who has been all in on Star Wars 3 3/4" action figures since the early '80s, I find myself getting nostalgic for some of the action figure lines of the past. The Power of the Force 2 line was a standout when it came to character selection, creatures, and vehicle scales. The Clone Wars line continued this tradition a decade later for the first three years of the animated series. As someone who was raised in a time where toys where meant to be enjoyed as a continuation of a property (as opposed to modern lines where toys are made to be collected), I long for the massive world building qualities of past lines. To that end, I have created my dream [...]

Hasbro Pulse Star Wars Fanstream Jan ’24 Reveals

Today Hasbro announced, in their first FanStream of the year, a handful of TVC and TBS figures including multiple pipelined figures as well. If you missed the stream, you can watch here: Of the numerous reveals, we are excited for Cobb Vanth to finally find a place in TVC and the Amazon multipack featuring Ahsoka and her droids. The Retro collection reveals of Episodes II and III were exciting as well but we hoped for solid waves for each film. It would not feel right if we did not express our disappointment with the rerelease of so many figures we have already and the lack of new figures from Ahsoka, Andor, The Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch and Obi-Wan Kenobi shows. With The [...]
