Rebels Vehicles: Loose In-Hand Pics
It’s been quite some time since collectors have had much to get excited about when it comes to Hasbro’s vehicle offerings. But that may change with the new assortment just now starting to hit from the Rebels line. I really don’t think my pics do these things justice, but I do believe these vehicles are worth every penny! For a better look, head on over to the forums!
New Disney Vinylmation Figures Announced
Our friend Kevin Gawthorpe from VinylmationWorld was in attendance at the weekend’s Imagination Gala at DisneyWorld and has revealed several new Vinylmation and Vinylmation Jr. Star Wars figures for 2014 and 2015. Click on through for some of the details.
Rebels Vehicles Hit Retail
With just a couple minutes to spare for a quick toy run to Toys”R”us today, I stumbled upon something not seen in quite some time by my weary eyes – 3.75″ scale vehicles worth picking up! Head on over to the forums for a closer look.
Personal Note: Priced at $22.99 each, these “mid-size” vehicles offer not only all-new sculpts, but are pretty well made too. No, they’re not Hasbro’s finest achievement but for what the retailers are charging, it seems like a very fair deal. These are light years better than all the Jedi Starfighters Hasbro’s been trying to force down our throats for years. I’ll be getting pics posted of them “loose” as soon as I can, and I can already say I want at least two more walkers. BTW, my son loves these.
Episode 29: The Walgreens Stalker
This week’s episode of The Realm Recap focuses heavily on the Black Series 6″ line as the first wave of the new “black and blue” line look has been hitting Walgreens stores hard (except mine of course). We also look at an amazing 6″ scale AT-ST work-in-progress that must be seen to be believed. We also discuss the merits of the new Rebels “Mystery” set that was revealed this week and the new products hitting the Disney Store and much more.
