Chewie, we’re home (still) after one of the biggest Star Wars events in recent memory so we’re back this week to discuss the highlights of Celebration Anaheim! There was a lot of news to come out of those four short days, including film, TV series, and game trailers plus new product reveals from the top license holders. But enough description, watch/listen to Episode 60 of The Realm Recap!
Tamashii Nations has updated their site with new images for their upcoming S.H.Figuarts Darth Maul – Sith Apprentice figure. This figure is scheduled for a September 2015 released and should retail for about $50 US.
Our friends at MakingStarWars.net have posted their transcription of their QnA rundown with Hasbro from Celebration Anaheim. We’ve included a nice little excerpt regarding the Black Series line below
Q: The Black Series line, as it is, is it continuing on to 2016 and beyond?
A: Yeah we have no plans to stop Black Series. It’s doing really well for us. We revealed the new Fall 2015 line look. It’s moving forward. We’ve had a lot of fans ask about Vintage and Droid Factory, both things we definitely want to get back to in the future but Black Series in terms of our pinnacle figure expression, that’s what it is and that’s how it’s continuing.
