Confirming Jedi Temple Archives’ original Toy Fair report, Entertainment Earth and Big Bad Toy Store are now taking pre-orders for vehicle and race track assortments of Hot Wheels product. Look for them online and in stores this fall. No images are available yet, but I really hope they make those sweet cars from the 70’s and 80’s like the custom vans and Toyota Celica.

Hasbro to Address Oversized Helmets?
Anyone who knows me at all in this hobby knows that I’ve been promoting for Hasbro to address what I feel is a major issue with their Phase 2 clone troopers… oversized buckets… including creating a tutorial for customizers, if they so choose to modify their figures.
After a few Q&A’s with Hasbro, with them indicating that they are unaware of aesthetic issues, our friend Paul at Jedi Temple Archives brought with him to Toy Fair a custom clone trooper I assembled, alongside one of Hasbro’s stock figures and showed Derryl DePriest the size discrepancy… and Derryl’s reaction is one that you should read… this could mean great things on the horizon if you’re unhappy with the clone helmets… so head on over to Jedi Temple Archives for the report!
