SDCC 2023: Hasbro Vintage Collection Cassian Pipeline Reveal

The VC 262 “Andor” head fits great on VC 130 Cassian (also released in TBS), no customizing necessary.

During the Hasbro Star Wars panel and follow up discussions, it was revealed that Hasbro plans for several “repacks/retools” in TVC, including the TBS/TVC Rogue One Cassian Andor figure again (but with the added touch of photo real deco).

Personal Note: If Hasbro has the need to put this figure out again, it may be better suited for a 3pk, and they can invest in new tooling in the other figures in the set, such as Baze Malbus and Ruescott Melshi. Or, are you happy with just swapping a VC262 Cassian head onto the older figure and would rather Hasbro avoid this figure altogether? What say you?

Next week, a more controversial repack topic… TFA Finn.

TVC Cassian & Vel In-Hand Pics

The above figures were acquired via Time Warp Toys in St. Louis.

Just in time for the new year, we were able to acquire some of the newest TVC wave, and these figures are outstanding to say the least.

We have a few quick pics to share of Cassian and Vel – check them out, and as an added bonus for loose collectors, the Cassian head can easily be swapped out with his Rogue One figure with ease.

Gamestop 50% Off Clearance

Multiples of the above figures have been sitting on clearance at the Gamestop in Arnold, MO during the past few trips I’ve made there.

If you have a Gamestop in your neck of the woods, it might be worth your while to swing by and check out their clearance section – all clearance items are currently marked off 50% off the clearance sticker price.

Personal Note: In my finds, very new TBS are not included, nor are most TVC. But there were decent selections of various 6 inch figures and lots of oddball gift type items, stacks of Funko POPs, etc. An employee grumbled when talking to me tonight, and said they had just received 6 more huge boxes of clearance items from their warehouse that he had nowhere to display, and they needed to move a lot more by Christmas. It might be bit concerning by just how much unsold collectibles product Gamestop could be sitting on right now.
