Upcoming Yoda Comparison
Thanks to some previews courtesy of www.andrewstoyz.com and www.yodasnews.com, we have been able to get a closer look at some upcoming Black Series 3.75″ figures recently.
But the sad truth is, what Hasbro is going to be delivering falls far short of what we thought we were getting for two of the most anticipated figures of 2014. While many people are laughing at how terrible the arm joints look on the upcoming Dagobah Luke, I find the Yoda to be even more saddening. What looked like the ultimate Yoda looks instead to be a figure inferior to many of the past versions we’ve gotten of the little green man.
Thoughts? Am I being too harsh on Hasbro, or do you agree? Sound off in the forums.

The Black Series Wave 4 Images
Andrew’s Toyz has uploaded a fresh batch of TBS series images to their Facebook page. Head on over to check out carded and loose shots of wave 4 from the 3-3/4” and 6″ lines. What do you think? Oy, those elbows on Luke ruin a potentially supendous figure. But hey it’s super articulated so it must be good, right?
UPDATE: YodasNews has posted carded and loose images of Bastila Shan and Dak Ralter to their Facebook page as well.
Concept of the Week #15
After a bit of a much deserved break, localgotal returns with another stunning addition to his Concept Series… Cinema Scenes! This format of action figure 3-pks was very enjoyable back in the 1990s, and if done in the fashion that are shown in the forums, it seems that these would be very popular again, if not more successful. Check out the latest additions to the Concept Series, and share your thoughts after the jump!

Black Series Wave 3 at Kmart
While many of us are losing more and more passion for the hobby due to Hasbro’s distribution problems, there is a glimmer of hope when you see a report like this, where forum member Jedighost009 just scored the latest wave of Black Series figures at Kmart. Reports are also coming in more of these figures making appearances at Target the past week, so don’t give up and keep sharing those finds in the forums.
Personal Note: Can you imagine if Hasbro had a better plan in place and had launched the first wave with what’s packed in Wave 3? Geeze… it’s hard to not accuse of them being completely responsible for their own problems sometimes.
At this price, why not?
By now you’ve probably heard reports of Marshalls and TJ Maxx stores marking down the MTT to ridiculously low prices – if you’ve been waiting for your local store to mark one down, better head out quick… the Marshalls in my area had four of these marked at $59.00 as recently as Monday, then last night I swung by and they only had one left, for $39.00. So don’t delay, be on your way!
Reminder: Your mileage may vary. Just because many stores have marked these down doesn’t mean your local store has yet.
