Hasbro Unveils My3D Device for iPhone & iPod
Newswires are reporting this morning that Hasbro has developed a handheld device called My3D that attaches to the two Apple Inc. devices – the iPhone and iPod Touch that promises three-dimensional content that offers a 360-degree experience in gaming, virtual travel experiences and entertainment content. It’s aimed at both children and adults.
With the recent announcement of the complete Star Wars saga being re-released in 3D starting in 2012, I’d say it’s a safe bet that this announcement will lead to some sort of 3D-inspired pack-in and/or downloadable content for the action figure line as 2012 approaches.
Head to Yahoo! Finance for the complete story and after that, head to our forums or facebook page with your thoughts on this new product.

CW28 Clone Pilot Goji
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the addition of Clone Pilot Goji from the Clone Wars Collection.
PROS: A solid figure and serves its purpose in piloting the various starfighters currently available. Great helmet deco.
CONS: Utilizes the “Stone” body, which turns off many collectors due to the downgrade of a few key points of articulation (no ball-jointed wrist, ankles and torso).
