Next Monday, November 17, Disney Store will be releasing several new items to commemorate Life Day. Items include the Loth-cat Plush Figure, Limited Edition The Stranger Hilt Set, 501st Clone Trooper Electronic Figure, Life Day Chewbacca Electronic Figure and more.
Hasbro – by way of fan channel retailers – has been pumping out a lot of reissues lately through what they are dubbing “The Comeback Collection”. I’d be on the look out for some new (old) items dropping this week for The Black Series and Vintage Collection.
Posting a quick follow-up to our previous report on a potential new line of Star Wars figures from Hasbro dubbed “ActionVerse“.
As suspected, ActionVerse looks to be a re-brand of the kid-targeted Epic Hero Series/Epic World of Action line that is populated by characters from the Star Wars/Marvel/Spider-Man universes. While specific details are limited yet for Star Wars*, some images for the Spider-Man line (including Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Ghost-Spider and Venom) seem to confirm the 4″ scale remains as well as the added articulation for most figures. The newness – apart from the sculpts – seems to come in the form of how the weapons & accessories are handled. The various colors of translucent plastic carries forward but now they come on a translucent sprue (like model kit parts) which also serves double purpose as a holder for all of the accessories (5) using a hole & peg system. Like the line’s predecessors, single characters, vehicles and multipacks (with exclusive figures) will form the basis of 2026 ActionVerse line.
If this line interests you, you can find preliminary listings on our Master List under the ActionVerse menu.
*Details described above may not reflect how the Star Wars line is handled but best guess is that ActionVerse line will be comparable across brands.

Disney Store has updated today with the addition of a few new Star Wars items including a revised version of their Star Wars Toybox Millennium Falcon Playset.

Surprise! It looks like the TBS Mace Windu & Darth Sidious and TVC Jedi Spirits 3pk are now available for all collectors. I guess when they said November 3, it meant 12:00am ET time.
