All of the releases below feature the new Rogue One packaging which is set to debut at the still unconfirmed #ForceFriday date of September 30th, 2016.

The Chewbacca Mom 12″ Figure

Well, color us jealous as the Chewbacca Mom AKA Candace Payne has received her very own Hasbro action figure.  The now internet star has received all sorts of attention since her Facebook Live video featuring her contagious laughter went viral. Since rising to fame Payne has visited numerous talk shows, Lucasfilm and now Hasbro's headquarters where she received the one-of-kind Chewbacca 12" figure.  The figure is made from The Force Awakens Chewbacca toy but includes an exclusive sculpt of Payne's face with a miniature replica of the now infamous Chewbacca mask.  The likeness is true to life and the removable mask is even more so.   We will attest to the real roaring mask to being rather fun as we were fortunate enough to receive one from [...]
