New Galaxy of Adventure Ads

In what is almost a page out of Hasbro's #GoRogue campaign, there are a few new Star Wars action figure stop-motion sponsored ads that have surfaced on social media. The "commercials" are produced by HelloSociety which specializes in social media influencing, and appear to be made on the behalf of Wal*Mart. The Galaxy of Adventures line is now in its third wave and appears to be what Hasbro and their partnered retailers are currently focusing on until this Fall when Triple Force Friday hits in October.   While it is unclear as to how many of these ads are out there, the Boba Fett one is aptly timed as the Boba Fett episode of Galaxy of Adventures on Star Wars Kids just premiered one week [...]

New Galaxy of Adventures Checklist and Visual Guide

Welcome to the Galaxy of Adventures Checklist and Visual Guide your resource for all the information, checklists and reveals pertaining to Galaxy of Adventures figure line! Galaxy of Adventures is the latest 3 3/4" kid-centered line from Hasbro to feature 5POA (5 Points of Articulation).

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 [...]
