Our friend and First Order Transmissions co-host Corey has gotten his mechanical hand on the first 11 basic figures from The Last Jedi. Interestingly, Hasbro has elected to scale down the cardbacks once again similar to what they did for the “Lava Vader” and Star Wars Rebels line looks.
Stay tuned for additional images and reviews for all of the first 11 figures coming soon.
Those that desire Hasbro’s return to playset had some new life breathed into them a couple weeks ago when we revealed the plans for a 3.75″ scale Force Link BB-8 / Star Destroyer Combo Playset. That life was sucked out again when we revealed that it included Supreme Leader Snoke as one of the pack-in figures.
The Supreme Leader is substantially taller than his accompanying Elite Guard by probably a head and a half and he sure is gold. Unknown at this time if he includes an accessory other than his throne in the playset. Both Snoke and the Elite Guard are Force Link compatible.
Speculation and rumors have been circulating for a while regarding the characters selected to represent The Last Jedi in the 3.75″ Black Series assortment. We’ve had a discussion recently with someone that has shed some light to this and on their availability.
We have received additional details, confirmations and some new reveals for a list of Target DPCIs that we shared back on July 2 (you can see the original article here). Click on through for the new info.
As we continue to gather info regarding the details of the products for Force Friday’s launch of merchandise for The Last Jedi, I thought I’d try to give some additional details regarding a few of the new figures and vehicles.
Let’s start things off with the 6″ Black Series Kylo Ren
As Yoda said, “Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.” but we now believe that the “alien” in wave 2 of the 6″ Black Series may in fact be someone else entirely and NOT Chewbacca as we previously theorized. Click on through to check out the latest development as we prepare for Force Friday 2 and beyond.
K & C Collectibles has added Topps Galactic Files Trading Cards, Clone Wars figure with vehicles, Roleplaying blasters, Attacktix game figures, Palm Talkers and Star Wars Transformers. Click the NEW PRODUCTSlink under the Categories Section for a complete list of recently added items.
You may have noticed that some Walmart stores are resetting their sections for “The Black Series” and making extra space now for more 3.75″ figures.
Are you seeing this in your area? Could this mean some of the more “in-demand” figures in the classic scale will be arriving at retail soon (or to conincide with Force Friday)? Share your thoughts in the forums!
