Jordan also wanted me to mention that his Halloween Special will be airing at 9pm Eastern Time on Sunday October 20, so be sure to check out your local listings on the Travel Channel!

Black Series 6″ – How’s it Selling?
By now, we should be able to have a pretty good gauge on how well Hasbro’s new scale of Star Wars figures are moving. In my neck of the woods, the first wave is starting to dry up, but Luke and Maul aren’t exactly flying off the shelves.
Thoughts? How’s this line doing so far in your area? Let us know by sharing your thoughts here or in our forums!
Yakfinities #49 – Dark Horse Comics
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge has seen some great entries over the past week – and there’s still some time left to get a custom entry submitted before the deadline on Sunday, September 30th.
This one’s easy too – just make and submit a custom of something that appeared in ANY Star Wars Dark Horse comic, and your submission has been entered! Or, if you’d rather just kick back and check out the latest entries, just hop on over to the forums!
Rancors and Zombies and Sith Lords! Oh my!
The latest installment in The Enloe Trials Photonovel Series is here… in this new adventure, Rykrof Enloe and his comrades face death at every turn as they seek an ancient Sith artifact on Dathomir.
It’s a race against time and countless dangers in Chapter IV – Shadow of Death – check it out after the jump!
Oh, my! What have you done? I’m BACKWARDS!
We don’t enjoy posting negative news about Hasbro this often – but you have to see the latest reports on the bubble issues with The Black Series… some employees are inadvertently reattaching the figures on backwards now – which is understandable given the general lack of distinction between the front and back of the cards.
A couple years ago, Hasbro seemed surprised when fans told them that clone helmets were yellow and green while still on the card (this was months after the clones had been showing up at retail)… so we can only hope Hasbro hasn’t failed to realize this bubble issue by now and are working to address this for subsequent waves of both The Black Series and Legends.
The Black Series Woes Continue
The first wave of The Black Series has been available for nearly two months now at retail, and the sheer volume of issues with this line thus far makes it feel like a completly different company is running the show as compared to what we used to see from Hasbro.
Oversized clone helmets, sloppy paint jobs, warped Biker Scout helmets, distribution killing case ratios, questionable character selections, and bubbles falling off the cardbacks are all adding fuel to the fire.
But is this all Hasbro’s fault? Are we being too hard on the folks who produce our beloved action figures? Share your thoughts on the situation with The Black Series after the jump!
