We’ve heard some squawking about this line for about a month now but it looks like word is popping up all over with details of the new Angry Birds line of products from Hasbro and Rovio. Head on over to the Idol Hands blog for a extensive breakdown and look for the official reveal at NYCC next week.
Thanks to Paul Nicholasi for the report.
By far the most controversial of all the “Big One” vehicles, the Trade Federation MTT has been at Wal-Mart stores for a while, for $129.99… but it’s now started to show up at Toys”R”us stores… but the price? Click on the image above, and hold onto your socks!
Two new Keepsake ornaments will be available today at select Hallmark Gold Crown stores during their Keepsake Ornament Debut. Look for the Darth Vader Peekbuster and the LEGO Imperial Stormtrooper.

Whether your entire collection is dedicated to Star Wars or you branch out to other action figure lines, Collector-ActionFigures was designed to meet your collecting needs. Not only are there more than 5,000 different Star Wars figures in the DASH catalog, there are over 40,000 total figures from various lines and manufacturers. It’s never been easier to discover new figures, track current ones, or even determine an action figure’s value. DASH has truly become the new and only hope in the world of action figure collection management.
While swinging by my local Toys”R”us store today to grab a few more figures from The Hobbit, I noticed that all Star Wars figures are Buy 1 Get 1 Free – while the selection consisted mostly of repacks, it’s still a very noteworthy sale!
It’s unknown if this is a national sale, but from what I recall, the stickers said the sale runs at least until sometime in November! I will correct that if I am wrong, but that’s what my fading memory tells me… unfortunately, my cell phone pic didn’t capture the image clear enough to clarify.
With collector frustration with Hasbro quite possibly at an all-time high, timing for the company making 3.75″ figures for the highly anticipated The Hobbit films could not be much better.
These new figures by The Bridge Direct are starting to pop up at retail (Toys”R”us for now), and I for one find it very refreshing to find new figures in this scale, apparently aimed at adult collectors, and with a lineup of figures that isn’t flooded with repacks.
Take a look at a few of the figures from this line, and share your thoughts after the jump!

PreviewsWorld.com has posted information on their upcoming exclusive Han Solo Mynock Hunt Mini Bust from Gentle Giant.
A Previews Exclusive! Mynocks. Why’d it have to be Mynocks? In an effort to escape the Imperial Fleet at Hoth, the daring Han Solo flew the Millennium Falcon into an asteroid field and hid inside a cave. Turns out, they weren’t the only creatures inside that cave. In fact, it wasn’t a cave at all… Now you can commemorate that iconic scene from The Empire Strikes Back with this Previews Exclusive mini bust sculpted using extensive photos pulled from the Lucasfilm archives. Han Solo comes outfitted in his blue Bespin jacket, breathing apparatus and his trusty DL-44 heavy Blaster pistol. Cast in durable materials and hand-painted by a team of skilled artisans, it includes a Certificate of Authenticity. SRP $65.00
