Our latest Customizer Spotlight focuses once again on the great work of forum member Evilivo, who demonstrates with a little additional tweaking and precision; just how amazing the Black Series Yoda figure can be. Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
This week we are featuring new PreOrders like the X-Force Deadpool ArtFX+ statue, Batman Arkham Knight statue & Man-Thing 1/4 scale statue!
Forum member Jodo has posted a nice read on his blog about the issues we as collectors are facing these days.
Remember what it was like to actually look forward to walking into a retail store and know you had a fair chance at finding a Star Wars item you actually wanted to buy? Remember when Hasbro was more creative and able to interest kids with their toys? Do you recall the pre-2012 disaster with Hasbro, when they were doing an effective job at managing the Star Wars brand?
Check it all out at his blog, and share your thoughts too in our forums.

Marjorie and Arnie give a hands-on review of Hasbro’s San Diego Comic-Con International exclusives, Johnathan runs down the Toys R Us AT-ST set, and Steve the Gingerprince reports in from the London Film & Comic Con!
The irony of San Diego Comic-Con is that while everyone rushes to buy the exclusives, there’s no time at the con to really look at them! Now Marjorie and Arnie are back home and have unpacked their SDCC shipment, and are ready to tell you if Hasbro’s 6-Inch Jabba the Hut exclusive, or the SDCC/Toys R Us exclusive Cantina Showdown set, was worth the trouble.
Also on this week’s show Steve the Gingerprince reports in from the London Film and Comic Con. With a not-too-surprising number of Star Wars guests (given where Episode VII is filming) and tons of toys, listen in to find out about that European event.
With Johnathan telling us what’s hitting stores, a look at the Star Wars Celebration pin set, and more, it’s all in this episode of Star Wars Action News!
