New Hot Wheels Products for The Child
Mattel has released official images for their upcoming Hot Wheels Starships and Character Cars for The Child. That Starships sculpt may scale well for the Vintage Collection keep eye out for that one in particular.
Fantastic Foot Feature
Hasbro added a little feature to the TVC Tantive IV playset that is easy to overlook… an envelope containing ten (10) removable foot pegs is included.
The envelope is not very obvious, so make sure you look for it before disposing of any packaging. There are also slots under the floor panel to store them.
Collectors can now pose their figures in dynamic poses without interfering with the overall aesthetics of the set. Thank you to our readers / forum members for calling this out.

Some interesting choices for sure but this one was the most surprising.
Update: It appears Jaxxon was rumored on JediInsider back on Dec. 24.
Tantive IV PLaysets Setup Loose Pics and Thoughts
Last night I was able to find a little bit of time to open up a couple of the new TVC Tantive IV playsets and combine them.
Overall, I like it but I do feel that Hasbro could have put a little more effort in here. It’s not the quality of the GTP Space Walls lineup, but it’s still a worthwhile purchase in my opinion and Hasbro continues to take steps in the right direction.
Head on over to the forums for some additional details and a closer look after the jump!
