Action Figures in Demand Vs. Hasbro’s Lines
Last week, I began to feel some of my worst fears for the Black Series were coming to fruition as I see so few retailers ordering new product for the Christmas shopping season.
By contrast, there are action figure lines that are thriving; so don’t let Hasbro fool you into thinking that kids don’t like action figures anymore, or they don’t like articulation… as those of us know who check more than the Star Wars section, other toy lines like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are constantly selling out and being restocked these past several months.
What do you think? Is Hasbro going to finally right this ship in 2014? Share your thoughts in the forums!
Han Solo Stormtrooper Disguise Statue
Giant Giant has also revealed today a pre-order for their 1:6 scale Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise statue.
One of the most memorable moments of Star Wars: A New Hope featured Luke and Han, dressed as Stormtroopers, sneaking into Detention Block AA-23 with Chewbacca to rescue the captive Princess Leia. Gentle Giant is proud to give homage to that scene with our new Han in Stormtrooper Disguise Deluxe Statue. Featuring interchangeable heads (one a Stormtrooper helmet, the other Han’s likeness), and two sets of arms, this dynamic statue is perfect for the casual fan and the hardcore statue collector alike!

The Enloe Trials: Chapter V Approaching
The next installment in The Enloe Trials photonovel series will be here soon, and for this next chapter there will be several new scenes… but before that can happen, I’ve been busy building several new custom dioramas! Check out a sneak peek by clicking here.
And for a refresher before the next chapter will be posted, catch up on Chapter IV: Shadow of Death.
Concept of the Week #6
We kick off another Concept Series idea by localgotal today, and this one is nothing short of fantastic… it’s 4 all new figures from A New Hope… ones that we’ll probably never see Hasbro make, which is a shame… because these would rock as an exclusive box set. I doubt many of us would pass on this set… I’d buy at minimum, three of these sets.
