Fantastic Foot Feature

Hasbro added a little feature to the TVC Tantive IV playset that is easy to overlook… an envelope containing ten (10) removable foot pegs is included.

The envelope is not very obvious, so make sure you look for it before disposing of any packaging. There are also slots under the floor panel to store them.

Collectors can now pose their figures in dynamic poses without interfering with the overall aesthetics of the set. Thank you to our readers / forum members for calling this out.

Tantive IV PLaysets Setup Loose Pics and Thoughts

Last night I was able to find a little bit of time to open up a couple of the new TVC Tantive IV playsets and combine them.

Overall, I like it but I do feel that Hasbro could have put a little more effort in here. It’s not the quality of the GTP Space Walls lineup, but it’s still a worthwhile purchase in my opinion and Hasbro continues to take steps in the right direction.

Head on over to the forums for some additional details and a closer look after the jump!

The wait is over! Now officially licensed, GTP Toys & Collectibles has launched its latest product for the 1:12 collecting community: The Tantive IV Blockade Runner Replica Display set.

Measuring over 36-inches long, this jaw-dropping scene is large enough to display more than 30 1:12 scale figures at a time. The set features a removable door, realistic floor, 100+ static and blinking LEDs, and is loaded with tiny details and accuracy that only comes from access to the Lucasfilm source materials.

If you preorder by December 13, you can take advantage of their introductory price of $179.99. Shipping begins in March 2021.

TVC Freezing Chamber In-Hand Pics and Thoughts

While some do not like the lack of the “claw” and the “non-playset” design, I personally find the approach that Hasbro took by allowing for collectors to add lighting elements and modular stair designs based on their own approach as a huge plus. The aesthetics are nice, however, this thing is not meant for play (the steps will fall right off). But as a display item, it’s pretty nifty.

Hasbro’s TVC Freezing Chamber has been arriving on doorsteps via Gamestop the past few days. I snapped a few pics of a quick setup in the forums that you can see by clicking here.

Do you love this thing, or hate it? I’ve seen some passionate views noted on social media from both angles. Since I’ve been begging for collector oriented displays for over two decades now, I’m pretty excited to have this in my collection now. So, I’m biased for sure. Let us know what you think!
