Episode 299: An Exclusive Episode

Leave a comment

The bounty is on, and this time IG-88 and Dengar are not the hunters but the hunted as they are Hallmark’s San Diego Comic Con exclusive Christmas ornaments! Announced last week, this week Marjorie, Arnie, and guest host Mark discuss these exclusives, and what it means for something to be exclusive.

Also on this week’s show, Marjorie reviews the revealed photos of the Luke and Vader Bespin diorama from Sideshow, Arnie drools over Sideshow’s Premium Format Han in Carbonite, and Mark gives a parent’s perspective on the timing of Star Wars Celebration 6.

With a UK store and con report from The Gingerprince, and Brock reviewing Fate of the Jedi: Conviction by Aaron Allston, it’s all this week on the Star Wars Action News podcast!
