If you’re looking to add more figures to your collection at low prices, Tuesday Morning stores are receiving 2-pks from The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story and marking them for $4.99-$5.99 each. A variety of Funko Pop! items can be found too for around the same price (several themes, not just Star Wars).
As always, good luck and happy toy hunting.
Hasbro’s ambitious goal of 3,000 backers for a premium Cookie Monster replica has fallen far short of its goal.
It remains to be seen if their Transformers Unicron project will meet the same fate, but it’s clear there is much more demand for that project. As of this post, it has just over 5 days left, and is just a tick above 39% funded (needing over 4,800 more units backed still).
Personal Note: For the fans of these, I hate to see these fail. However, I think Hasbro needs to do better homework. I feel that projects under the Haslab banner need to be more in line with the Sail Barge… something that works as a fantastic display piece to house groups of figures. Big and iconic vehicles/playsets seem to be the way to go… (or at least not a remake of something that’s been done before, such as Unicron) a Cybertron environment, or Ark playset might be more exciting for the Transformers crowd. I have no idea what would work for Sesame Street. But that’s just my opinion. And Unicron could still meet its goal, though he seems way overpriced compared to other giant Transformers.

Hasbro has issued a press release stating that by 2022, they plan to phase out plastic elements like polybags, elastic bands, shrink wrap, window sheets and blister packs. The company’s ambition is to eliminate virtually all plastic in packaging for new products by the end of 2022. For the details, visit newsroom.hasbro.com
How will this effect the look of iconic action figure lines like the Vintage Collection and Black Series or does the switch to bioPET (from PVC) in bubbles and window boxes already address that initiative?
ShopDisney currently has several 6″ Black Series figures on clearance including Zuckuss and the Stormtrooper with Blast Effects for $14.99 each, Captain Phasma (Quicksilver Baton) for $12.99. Sale prices are reflecting in-store as well.
