Hasbro Stepping Up the Promotion of TVC and TBS on Amazon

Leave a comment

Hat tip to Hasbro and their team for advertising the nostalgia and world-building scope of the Vintage Collection on Amazon. The layout gives very strong mini-catalog vibes from a long time ago, in a collecting era far, far away.

They are also showcasing the Black Series to promote its premium design & poseability as well as the collectible nature of its packaging, all while offering “something for every fan”.

Update: First Star Wars Fanstream for 2026 Next Week

Leave a comment

I was beginning to think it wasn’t coming as a little bug in my ear told me that this week’s intended product drop was canceled and rescheduled for next week (Wednesday). Hasbro has confirmed that with the announcement of Monday’s Star Wars Fanstream. Chances are we’ll see a few rumors come to fruition with more on the way later this month.

Update: Also after 6 grueling months, we are finally getting the pay off on the Cantina characters teased back at SDCC 2025. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint.
