SDCC 2014: First Hasbro Booth Images

SDCC

We know you are all eager to see what’s in store for the Star Wars line in the coming months, and our friends at Rebelscum have posted the first SDCC gallery for your viewing pleasure. Not a lot of newness yet (to be expected) but there are a few items and they hint at: the 6″ Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot and Troop Transport from Star Wars Rebels! Head on over and check out what Hasbro has shown so far by clicking on the image above.

Concept Series Update #18

After a bit of a delay between updates, localgotal strikes back with a vengeance with his latest additions to the popular Concept Series lineup he’s created.  This latest update harkens back to the roots of the Star Wars saga, and includes three figures that are long overdue for updates by Hasbro.

Why they aren’t making figures like he proposes is quite beyond my capacity.  Check them out, enjoy the pics, and join in the discussion after the jump!

Torture Your Droids, Jabba Style

Yakface forum member Raylen has just released for purchase his latest diorama accessory piece — the contraption droids fear most – the Droid Torture Rack!

You can order this awesome environment piece for your collection at Holeinthegroundpro.com, and feel free to discuss this latest diorama-builder offering in the forums.

Personal Note:  I’ve ordered several items from Raylen, and have been very impressed with each item.   His products are top notch quality, and they fill in huge gaps that have been missing in my scenes, from cantina chairs to Imperial accessory pieces. 

Possible Customizing Remedy for Luke’s Arms

Quite a few collectors have shared their annoyance in our forums with the appearance of the arms on Hasbro’s new Dagobah Luke.  But there may be other options to “fix” this young Jedi by borrowing parts from other figures – such as the 2004 VOTC Luke.

There’s no guarantee this will be a perfect remedy (or work at all), but as a customizer this is something that I intend to try and modify as best I can – and there’s no doubt we’ll see many other customizers attempting to correct Hasbro’s work on this figure too.  What do you think?  Sound off with your thoughts in the forums.
