Bandai has launched a new series of 6″ figures from The Force Awakens as part of the Movie Vinyl Collection. This budget line features basic/minimal articulation while presented on a pseudo “Vintage” blister card back. The line kicks off with Kylo Ren (#01), First Order Stormtrooper (#02), Captain Phasma (#03), BB-8 (#04), R2-D2 (#05) and Chewbacca (#06).
You can order these figures now through sites like HobbyLink Japan and BBTS for around $15 each.
EA has posted a great video showcasing the future of Star Wars gaming. Check out the footage above.
Despite the majority of retail outlets being devoid of new products on shelves, there are still a few surprises as online retailers are receiving a “new” 6″ version of Rey – which may be just different enough to make you mad/sad. Funko continue to promote like no other brand as teases for the next Smuggler’s Bounty box have sparked some discussion of potential for new characters. The biggest (and most spendy) news of last week was the announcement of an ultra-high end tier of prop replicas from Propshop – the manufacturer responsible for the very same screen used props in The Force Awakens. And finally, we close out Episode #99 with a few new acquisitions to tide us over until the next “must-have” item comes along.

Looks like Sideshow is dipping back into the vault to re-issue their impressive IG-88 Sixth Scale figure. It is unknown at this time if it is a straight re-release or (probably) a tweak to the previous model and without the deluxe illuminated display base. Look for an official preorder announcement soon.
Our friend Chris Pirillo received the “ultimate” collectible for any Darth Vader fan. He was selected to receive a copy of the new Darth Vader Helmet (Melted) from Propshop and Lucasfilm and provided a complete unboxing video via his YouTube channel. Check it out above!
I’ve been receiving and reading multiple reports that Walmarts are once again getting shipments of the elusive 3.75″ Black Series figures including Han Solo, Princess Leia Organa, and Captain Phasma. Reports have come in from Virginia and Tennessee.
f.y.e. is now taking preorders for their exclusive Funko POP! Poe Dameron (No Helmet & Jumpsuit Variant) figure. Available July 10.
