Here we are, just a couple weeks away from Christmas – and there are warning signs all over that The Black Series may be in trouble.
Retailers simply aren’t stocking anything past the first wave of 3.75″ scale figures even during the holiday season, while online stores like Amazon are marking down figures from the first two waves for as little as $2.55 each. This doesn’t seem to bode well for the future of this line. Head on over to the forums and share your thoughts… and it’s not like we didn’t warn Hasbro of these concerns when they first revealed their lineup for the first two waves…
Our friends at Jedi Temple Archives have alerted us that the Toys”R”Us Exclusive Vintage X-Wing Fighter is on sale today for only $40.00. Promotion valid in-store only.

This week’s feature entails not one, but several figures to form a Cinema Scene from a memorable scene in A New Hope! Check it out, and share your thoughts for the eyes at Hasbro – would you buy these figures?

You can submit your entries by clicking here, but remember, in order to be eligible for a prize, your submission(s) should be a new custom made for the contest… and not something you made previously.
Another week has passed, and that means we’ve got another new Concept Series update from localgotal! This week’s feature is inspired by the Dark Horse series, The Star Wars. It’s a figure that would be easy money for Hasbro, so we can’t help but wonder why they didn’t make this.
Maybe after they see this, they will consider it. Either way, check out this great new concept figure after the jump!
